I'm sorry I haven't reviewed yet! I read it pieces, and the last part where I couldn't review. Then I lost the link. Blah. It's now been a week or a week and a half, so I'm a bit rusty, but I wanted to let you know I really liked it. I liked the parallels between Esme and Ginny - and even though I was initially surprised Ginny didn't understand Esme's silence, I also understood. Sometimes people can be hypocritical, and I'm glad Ginny was called out.

As sad as Rowley's response to Remus being a werewolf was, it also rang true, especially given the feelings toward werewolves in the universe. I get the sense that Rowley was trying not to be terrible about it, but that her biases were hard to push through. Whether or not that changes is up to the reader's imagination, of course.

I would have liked a little more between Remus and Ginny, maybe even before he leaves? Just a bit more tying up. But that's really my only nitpick, and I can also see why you went a different direction.

Good work!
