| Very profound, a good example of the waste of war. |

I just wanted to let you know that someone has rec’d your story and I have posted a link to it in the new HP LJ community Harry Potter Missing Moments. Your story fits nicely into canon and makes a nice addition to our archives. Please feel free to come over and take a look at what we are doing and your entry (posted under "Dogs of War"). We are a small group at the moment, but we hope to get your story some new readers and some new reviews as we grow.

| A wonderful story that throws a light on an unknown character. Very moving. Thank you. |

| This was so creative. Somehow I tend to skip over the little people who fill in the background, but you have grasped one of them and brought her to the fore. Really good job. It makes me want to re-read and see if I can do something similar with other scenes in the books. Thank you! |

Fantastic! You've captured the confusion and fear someone in this situation would be experiencing really well.
I love the subtle complexity of this fic. Every time I read that part of DH, I wonder (like I imagine so many others do) what what circumstances led to Ginny being out on the grounds helping that girl. You've provided a terrific back story to it that reads so very well, but still ended it without tying up all the loose ends. That's what I love about it - for all the we have now learnt about how the unnamed (in DH) girl ended up in Ginny's care, she is still ultimately what she began as - a stranger whose fate is unkown.
Well done!!! |

| I enjoyed this story very much. I loved how you didn't use the regular characters. There really are many other characters in the book that went through it all and I loved how you gave us a peek into one of those lives. |

| This brought tears to my eyes. It just shows how senseless war can be sometimes, how the truly innocent can die by accident. Good job conveying the girl's panic, then desperation. |

| I only meant to take a quick look - but this story really pulled me in and wouldn't let go. I felt Charlotte's fear, confusion and desperation and suffered her pain. You gave a whole life-story to a person who (as of course we suspected all along) had only been at the battle by accident. And my heart stopped when I realised that you weren't going to tell us whether or not she survived. |

| You did a good job of getting the reader to empathize with Charlotte, whom they've never really met before. It sounds simple, but it's really not. Thanks for a nice read. |

Thanks, I'm really glad you felt you could empathise with Charlotte and that you enjoyed this.

| Wow, that poor girl. You've taken a random line and turned into a harsh and sad reality of war. Good work. |

| I thought it was a great story, and probably very true to life considering the situation. I think there are many who wonder whether or not the girl that Ginny was helping survived or not. Although it breaks the heart, I think it was very well done. I think many of us forget about the first-years, who might have little clue as to what was going on. Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. I still have tears in my eyes. |

Very, very good but also very, very sad.
You portrayed the panic that a left behind twelve-year-old would feel very well.
Hmm I feel a bit melancholy and can't really think of anything else to say...
I really enjoyed it, though.

It was great.
Giving one of the most minor characters a real story, and a purpose.
Well done. |

| The realities of war strike the innocent and poor Charlotte has certainly become one of those casualties. How frightening for her to go through all that she has, especially her encounter with the Death Eater. I'm sincerely glad that Ginny found her, although I do hope that Charlotte's wish to go home didn't mean she wanted to "go on". Great story... it gets |
