Rather than tell you everything I love about this chapter, perhaps I could just say that there is nothing I don't like! hehehe
I thought the way you wrote the memories was perfect. It makes sense that we would see them along with Narcissa. I love that Snape continued to protect Ginny even in his dying moments, and that Lucius was able to help him do that.
You have done a great job developing your characters throughout this fic. Sometimes I read fanfic, and feel like the authors only went so far as to use the names of JKR's characters; but their personalities are all wrong. Your characters (all of them) are consistent throughout this story, and they just feel "right."
Author's Response: Oh thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the memories. I think I like them more now than when I first wrote them. And it was nice to give Snape one last chance to show how much he loved Draco as well as protect Ginny. And thank you so much for the really generous compliments about my characters. It's something that I tried to keep in mind, but I'm still really new to this writing thing. It is easy to get caught up in your story and forget the original characters. Thanks so much for enjoying my take on them. The next chapter should be posted soon. :)
So good! It kinda maybe made me cry... Oh and i really hope that Gorge and Pansy get together i think they would work!
Author's Response: Thank you!!! Awe, that's so sweet that you were moved. And just keep reading for more George and Pansy. :) Thanks for reviewing!
I got to be honest, I rarely read unfinished fic coz I'm afraid the writers won't finish it. I forgot why I started reading this and now I just keep coming back to check your updates! I do love this story and the flow of it. Cant wait for the next update & hoping I got to read the end of it :) And here's hoping its a happy one for Drinny ;D xx
Author's Response: Well, I will be honest too. I am the same way. Especially when I have started a fic that is just so awesome and then it turns into a H/G fic in the end. OMG! I could cut a B!%$# for that. Okay, just kidding. :)Anyway, so glad you are giving my fic a shot! Thanks so much for the review and the support! I promise that it will be finished. It's just a matter of cleaning up and posting at this point. I look forward to more reviews! *wink*
I always figured Snape had died protecting Ginny and Draco. It's nice to see that he, somewhat, died on his own terms with Lucius casting the curse instead of Voldemort getting info out of him first.
In other news, I LOVE how you depict George. Love it. Also, I want him and Pansy to end up together. I feel like they both deserve to be happy and Pansy will never be fully happy with Harry. They've both lost so much what with Pansy losing her mom and George losing Fred...
...Have I mentioned how much I love this story? It makes my day.
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! And I had tried not to be misleading about Snape, but until Lucius showed up, no one else knew for sure what had happened to him. And that whole scene with Lucius and Snape kind of came out of nowhere. I never planned that in the beginning.Thanks so much for your George-love! I really enjoyed writing him into the story - that was another surpise for me. He was not in the original plans either!
And now I must mention how much it means to me to get your lovely reviews! Seriously. Several chapters ago I was getting so discouraged. Part of me was ready to just throw in the towel. So thank you - the reviews make my day as well.
I sit on pins and needles everytime I log in to see if there's been an update. I'm never disappointed when there is one. Personally, I think you wrote Snape's death very well, it was fitting.
Author's Response: Yay! Thank you for the compliments. I hoped Snape's death was worthy of him. I do love him. Thanks for the review!
OMG! This chapter is absolutely awesome! Love the memories. Didn't you write in previous chapters that the Order said something about them losing their only spy, as in Severus Snape? I can't wait for next week, when chapter 26 comes out! Yay for u!!!
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you loved the memories. And kudos to you for catching that little tidbit. I did say that - or I think Harry said it many chappies ago, but I wasn't sure if people really believed it. Thanks so much for the reviews! Will be uploading soon. :)
I'm always happy to read your chapters :)
Author's Response: Thank you! That's so sweet. :)
