Oo, this is gorgeous. I love all of them but the last drabble is just beautiful in its sadness.

Guh. This is so dark and beautiful and evocative. I love the structure of it, the fragments of lives that come together to tell a story about a whole generation, damaged but strong, still surviving. Magnificent.

Very powerful, and the drabble structure lends itself so well to these brief snippets of their lives.

Irma's backstory is believable and somehow IC. And thank you for creating a French accent through grammar rather than phonetics.

Wow. This is so brilliant and powerful! Some of these drabbles had me in tears, and others gave me chills.

The entire thing is wonderful, but here are two of my favorite parts:

"But then he watches Su Li, a Ravenclaw Muggle-born, comfort a pureblood Slytherin, and he exhales shakily."

“You must forget that they are children, if you are going to duel with them.”

Excellent work!
