First commentor!
Wonderful. I love that you named James James Arthur, and I hate that in epilogue, his name is Sirius because was Ginny not there during the decision for the name?
That's such tough subject to write about and such a tough position into which everybody has been propelled.
I got a few insinuations: Hermione and Ron don't have kids. Harry and Ginny have eight kids? It was a bit confusing at first when they entered the infirmary, because I thought that Jim would be there immediatley, but it was Meg... That part, the first part of going to see Jim, was a bit choppy and overdone, I thought. I didn't really like it, but I liked the rest, and I love the dilemma of the thing and how there is no real solution.
Well done. I wish that you would continue with this...?

This is beautiful. I love the thoughtful tone of it, and the way that there are no easy answers for Harry -- which is very true to canon.
