My beta, you are a miracle. I can’t even imagine having this ready without you, much less being able to push forward to the end. We were so excited about this and if I didn’t have you to happily supply, I don’t know if I would have finished it.

You can have me to supply all the day long, for as long as you want me. I am so pleased to be able to be what you need and help you through, even if I'm sometimes slow in getting there. You are a WONDERFUL writer, and you make it easy to do my job.

I love this work, the back-and-forth of it, so clear yet still a story. I love the constantly working mind of Hermione, calculating even as she's scared stiff. The grudging respect from Bella, and the willingness to sit and listen and learn. The burgeoning affection between Hermione and Narcissa, the understanding to which they come.

I love Ron, so single-minded, yet still retaining his strategy, and Ginny coming along, aiding him in ways we know were always possible but simply never saw.

FABULOUS job, darling. ♥♥♥

Oh honey, I don't care if you're slow sometimes. I really don't. You might want to watch that commitment to me because once you hang on, I might not ever let go of you :)

I can't even form words that say what hearing this from you means to me. Thank you so so so so much.

♥♥♥

And Hermione

I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I scarcely know what to say.

I loved the depth that you gave the characters and the strength you put into their relationships. I loved how you had Hermione show a bit of human frailty, and then find the strength that she did in the end to do something that must have been very hard for her to do.

I loved how Narcissa became a source of strength for her, and how she walked that razor's edge between obeying the Dark Lord and protecting the girl she had come to care for.

I even loved how you treated the bit of Ron/Hermione, very touching and believable.

And yeah, the hint of Ginny/Luna made me smile for them both.

Well done indeed.

In one of the previous comments to this, someone mentioned something about how JKR really expressed everything on the basis of relationships and how strong those relationships were. Mainly, throughout the series, that relationship is the Harry/Ron/Hermione love triangle, keeping them together for seven years and all that jazz.

So that alone says what I want to say about how Ron and Hermione had to be... linked, in one form or another, for this story to work in my head.

I don't know how Narcissa came into play when I started writing this. I think I just wanted to redeem her because I had always seen her as a beautiful character that's been held back behind some curtains. I wanted to give her a chance to shine.

That's two people who have found a Ginny/Luna hint. Glad it's working out well for my femmeslash readers :)

Thank you so much for this, Lash. It means more than you know. ♥
