Reviews For A Proper Epilogue
Reviewer: melindaleo Signed Date: 2018.02.14 - 11:43AM Title: Chapter 15 - St. Mungo's Oh, such a sad, sad chapter. Even though I was less than thrilled with them having a baby, this isn't something I'd wish on my worst enemy. So sad. What I adored about it, however, is that you had Ron and Hermione there to share Harry's grief. They are such a hugely important part of his life, and so many of us H/G fans tend to forget that. They are his family, and it seemed so right he'd turn to them. In the same vein, I love that it was Molly who is there for Ginny. Molly will always be her mum, and I really, really appreciate the acknowledgement of these others in our young couples lives. Harry's life is still in danger. There's no doubt others who think as Lucius, and hopefully Harry will realize he can do more good hunting them down than returning to school.

This chapter is a fascinating exercise in conflictedness -- healing followed by woundedness; resolution but irresolution, etc. It makes it all maddeningly real, as opposed to the nicely packaged fictions that we're so accustomed to. So, well done! I loved Hermione's line about evil rising up to replace evil. This is a great example of Hermione's book smarts evolving into wisdom, which is a development that JKR provides a few faint hints at in books 1-6, and showed a little more in DH. Anyway, I like it, since I believe that many people who really try to learn things also learn to 'understand' things. Author's Response: Thank you for sticking with this story! I truly appreciate your insights. I'm so glad you liked the way I had Hermione continue down the transition from knowledge to wisdom. So many stories set after Deathly Hallows have continued to write Ron, Hermione, and Molly as if none of them had evolved despite having gone through this terrible war. I just don't get it. Yes, it is fun to have an easy foil built right into the group of main characters, but it never feels right to me that Ron would remain a clueless, jealous child, Hermione would be shown as an abrasive, self-centered know-it-all, and Molly would be a shrew of a judgmental mother who insists that her daughter remain a 12-year-old. I hope I have allowed all the characters to develop, yet not become unrecognizable!

It will Be easier fro her to truly mourn her baby.

Reviewer: MollyandArthur Signed Date: 2017.02.16 - 11:40AM Title: Chapter 15 - St. Mungo's Poor Ginny. I feel so terribly sorry for her and Harry. Hopefully Molly will respond appropriately to the news, though it will come as a shock I'm sure. Ron's reaction was rather wonderful. It is nice to read a story where he is depicted as growing into a fine young man, instead of a perpetually deficient one. Looking forward to reading more about how Kingsley handles this.
