I read the summary and knew that something was off. That's a long time to be angry at someone.

But I liked how you made Cho seem like a real person here. Most of the time I read up on her, and we don't get the image that she's real, just that she's someone no one really gets to know because she's out of their league. You mentioned her problems and made me realize that yes she does have issues. I was really glad at this point.

“And, according to Sally-Anne Perks, you’re pathetic.”

“I think I liked you better when you ignored me.”

I absolutely loved that line! He's so snarky and defensive.

Great job on this! Hope everything's well!

It's disappointing the lack of good characterization Cho receives not only in canon, but fanon as well. Thank you for such kind compliments.

Things are getting better, bit by bit. It's just a matter of waiting day after day now. Thank you for your concern. :)

What did she expect from him? Vulnerability? Crying? Poignant wailing through tears expressing understanding of her woes? Please.

Ahahaha! xD I loved that line. And the banter between Zacharias and Summerby was extremely entertaining. Well done, as always - can't wait for more! :)

Thank you, most kindly. :)

Still loving this series. I've been away for three days, so haven't read on. I really want to get through this so I can get to read your Daphne Greengrass (I've got a feeling where you're going to take Zacharias in that story . . . and I'm so excited!)

You write Cho fabulously. I root for her because you really get the character; yes she's rather weepy, but it's how she can cope with things like losing Cedric, everything with the DA . . . she deals with it, for better or worse, but ultimately, she really wants to be a good person. I do think Zacharias understands this, but his personality is sort of stuck in one gear and he can't really break free from it, either because he's not ready to, or some other reason . . .

Anyways, this continues to be great.
