I was moved by Dean's section, since that's what my husband and I do. Then Mr. Ollivander's letter to Luna made me truly choke up, especially the detail that Luna was held captive in the dungeon on her birthday. I was completely crying at the section of Luna's visitin Dobby, although Victoir's socks gave me a chuckle. I would totally wear those. ;) I like that Luna keeps up with Bill and Fleur. Of course, she would, but I hadn't thought about it before. That has now joined the "canon-in-my-head". ;) I LOLed at Luna's saying Neville should use his hero status to get students to turn in their essays on time. I really needed some comic relief by then, too.

I could ramble forever, but this is just a really beautiful story that rings so true. Thank you, Mystery Author!

Luna, to me, is one of those people who treasure bonds made with other people very much, so I've always thought that she has to have some contact with Bill and Fleur, still -- even if they are very different. :)

Thank you for this lovely comment (and sorry that I made you cry...).

Thank you!

This is beautiful. I love the originality of each characters story especially Luna's birthday and the point about magical birth due dates shifting to match destiny, this is now my head canon.

Reading this story has made me count my blessings that I have never had to cope with anything even remotely close to what these chicldren went through.

Thank you very much for sharing. :)

Thank you! I wanted to make each section have its own voice, so I'm glad you think that worked.

beautiful

That was just beautiful, no other word for it, except maybe touching. Luna's section had me all choked up, but Neville's made me cry. It was all so well written and thought out and original. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you. I'm happy you enjoyed it.
