| Go McGonagall! She kicks butt right there at the end, totally hating on what Dumbledore did to Snape and Harry. I love how perfectly terrible it is, and how clearly you lay out how he uses them. Wonderful job! |

Very enjoyable, a nice insight
And good characterisation, especially Dumbledore - JKR could've written his lines.

| Truly amazing. Your characterizations and insights into the plot are amazing. Is it too late for you to get the job adapting DH for the screen? |

Oh, excellent!
That was wonderful to read - and a nice touch, including Phineas as well as Dumbledore - it gave it a far more realistic touch than a two way interaction could have.
Wonderful! |

Wow, great, great job!
I love your Minerva so much, especially the bit where she "sprinted along the corridor" and, of course, her thought that she "could not help but feel that every dead or injured child, every former student gathered in the Great Hall below, whole, wounded or dead, was her own"! Sweet Professor!
And this truely was an interesting view of the story we all enjoy.
However, an intriguing question: Is Dumbledore´s portrait aware of Dumbledore´s encounter with Harry at King´s Cross, which was seemingly happening at the same time?
Thanks for sharing!

Excellent story, but I found what appears to be a typo:
" I promised to keep secrets from him, and yet I did so,"
Shouldn't the line be " I promised NOT to keep secrets from him, and yet I did so," or " I promised to keep NO secrets from him, and yet I did so," |

| I never would have thought of this, but it just seems to fit. I like McGonagall thinking that if she were going to be like Dumbledore, sacrificing others for the greater good and not caring about the students, then she didn't want to be Headmistress. It shows Dumbledore really wasn't perfect and some of his decisions are ones others may never truly understand or agree with. Their post-death relationship is quite interesting. Good job. |

This story would have been amazing even if McGonagall were not my favorite character. The fact that she is makes it all the more amazing.
Such wonderful insight into three Hogwarts heads and the difficult choices one makes in such a position of influence in the lives young students.
Well written, well characterized, and one of my favorite insights into Minerva McGonagall I've ever read.
Great job. |

| I love a missing moment. I like this particularly because it allows Minerva to get the necessary information from Dumbledore, and not from Harry after the fact. I just hope she can forgive Dumbledore. |
