I'm so glad that you liked my portrayal of Asteria. You write her so well, it was a little intimidating to approach her myself. I enjoyed actually putting on paper the Slytherins' system of navigating Hogwarts under the Carrows. This gave me a chance to actually write the scenarios that I was planning on using as my background to my DA stories.

I was glad to be assigned you for my pitch-hit. I found your prompts perfect for me. (I was going to do a Neville/Hannah or a Hannah story, but in the end I decided to do your fave Asteria.) I was nervous about the quality. I wanted to give you something good, but I normally have more time for rewrites. Oddnari gave good advice.

Very nice... I've never been much interested in the goings on at hogwarts during 7th year... except maybe with Draco, but this was really a wonderful read... i have got to go read some more of your stuff now!

I really loved teh sections on Davis, Slughorn and Steven... nicely done!

Thanks! I'm thrilled that I could give you a story that you could enjoy on a subject you don't normally read. I'd love to see your comments on other work.

I almost skipped reading this because I've never had interest for Asteria, but this - it was gritty and intense, and captured the feeling, the atmosphere, perfectly. The secrets revealed an unfolding story, and the ending was like escaping death when the person next to you didn't. Wow.

Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner. I only just found the comment. (It wasn't forwarded to me for some reason.) Reading this was a real day maker. It was a thrill to see someone felt the things I wanted to put across in the story. Thanks.
