"No one stops to consider for a moment why I'm so dependent on those books of mine, why I have so many. I am different. I do not prattle, I seek knowledge, and truth. I want permission to be myself. I want to walk down the halls of my school, of my world, without hearing the half-whispered remarks about me. I want to sit with my friends, and know that they appreciate my company, and not the fact that I can revise their homework. I want to live." A moment in Hermione's life, where she contemplates her past, present, and future.

There have always been arguments over which piece of the board is the most powerful. Most will say the Queen; she can mimic any move, take any square. Others will say the King; despite his limited mobility, the entire point is to protect your king and capture your opponents. There are any number of arguments for five of the pieces. The last piece, or pieces, are often neglected. They are the front line, the first defence, and the first to fall. All but one. And Ron must see it to the other side.

When she dances, the world stops for a moment to let her breathe. She knows she's not alone. Not by a long shot. There's life everywhere. If only people know where to look for it, then things would be so much better. A Ravenclaw should know better, but she doesn't.

Perfect, you have Luna down to a T. Have you written any other Luna stuff? I've always thought that (should there be an heir of Ravencalw) it would be Luna for the reasons you put, she has higher knowledge ...

Beautiful. Really well written. Very true, it would've only taken a few minutes to check on him, but its a little alte now. I also liked the idea that Mcgonagall would stun him to save him, she is a remarkabley grounding character ...

Hm ... Just noticed that he's subconciously reffering to Voldemort as "Voldemort" not "The Dark Lord" ... Am I barking up the wrong tree? I really hope not! Also, can't wait for his reaction at meeting Ron, Hermione and Ginny. More please!!

Ouch! Very, very dark! In your mind, does he live or die? Very nice touch though, letting us think up our own ending. I think he lives, but I think that's just optimistic!
