But I thought it was such well written preachy stuff :) While I realize you can't spend the whole story on it it definitely has its place and really, I haven't once found myself asking when you'll get to the 'good' part because the 'preachy stuff' as you like to call it is a good part.
I've seen far more well written action scenes than I've seen well written class room scenes. I'd have to say I don't remember seeing any class room scenes done quite so well... it was not only entertaining, but it also felt authentic.
That said I AM looking forward to seeing Harry free Ginny from the diary.
Though I do wonder what happened to Sirius... wasn't he staying at the castle? And I'm curious to know where you're going with Narcissa... though given how wizards age(slowly) I'd imagine she'd be better preserved than you described. She'd be.. what.. 40? 50 tops? Given that wizards as long as they don't meet with an untimely end can live between 150 and 250 years I wouldn't expect her to look older than a muggle 30... maybe even mid to late 20s. I can't imagine many wizards would WANT to live past 100 much less 200 unless their viable, active, and well preserved years filled up a majority of them.
Unless of course your description was purposefully tainted by her own self image...

I never said that Narcissa wasn't beautiful, nor 'well preserved', only that her vision of herself focuses on her flaws, rather typical of women in my experience.
As for Ginny, she will be taken care of in the chapter I am working on now.
Thanks for reading and leaving a review.
