Hey Allison. Wonderful writing. It's nice to be able to come up for a breath of fresh air when you've been captivated with the intensity of your posts. I'm really enjoying the reading experience I get when I read your ff. It's good to see Abby is able to have a healthy attitude about her mom, and not go into a state of depression. I know he's not a bad guy, but I never liked Slughorn. I hated teachers like him when I was in school. If you wasn't popular, than they treated you like it's a chore to put up with you being in their class. So unfair. Great writing Allison. I'll be watching for your next post.
