Oh, this is an amazing character study of Anthony! I feel as if I know him, now, and I really appreciate the depth of your approach here. Excellent.

What a great way to flesh out a minor character and illustrate how bad it'd gotten at Hogwarts. Lovely character study.

Thank you for sharing!

A fine story; I thoroughly enjoyed it. You do a wonderful job of fleshing out this minor character and making him real. I love the way you work in Anthony's Jewish background; you effectively show us the complex threads of identity that shape and pressure any one individual. You give us an Anthony who, despite the difficulties and stresses, is able to balance his many communities -- Jewish, wizard, gay, Muggle, Ravenclaw, DA, and more -- and make the decisions he needs to make for himself.

Lovely job giving this young man such a rich background.

Thanks so much. It makes him so much his own person... almost too bad you didn't make him an Oc, he'd have been all yours, then...
Ver y well written, too
