This is amazing. I love the characterization of each person and how Bellatrix affected his/her life and the result of it. I thought each character was very believable; each of their responses to Bellatrix's death completely understandable.

I especially love the ending; it was fitting to end with Andromeda and her speech. And I love the last line. =D

Thanks very much! This is the first time I've written a lot of these characters, so that's comforting to hear. I'm happy that you enjoyed it!

This is a moving look at the mourners and the rememberers, and it's a satisfyingly realistic look at the confluence of emotions everyone feels. And oddly enough, given that it's Bellatrix who's being remembered and mourned, it's heartbreaking. I particularly like Neville, Rodolphus, and Andromeda's scenes. :)

Thanks; I'm happy that you liked it! And also, thanks for telling me your favorites - I always like to hear it, just to see what works the best for people (some a lot of the time, what works in my head often doesn't really work in actuality). Thank you!

Ahh, Andromeda breaks my heart. That acceptance of what was and is, and awareness of the future tempering pain and anger. So human, and the best of it at that.
