A poignant and gentle coda to their story. There's a lot of backstory you could fill in and a few folks who aren't mentioned (including one prominent Weasley - makes you wonder why and where she is). Still it's a most moving oneshot.Still Waiting

A moving oneshot. Rather fitting for the tragic life of Harry Potter. You could expand on this story if you wanted to. You left out the fates of a few characters such as Ginny Weasley. I liked the inscription on Hermione's grave. I look forward to reading more of your stories.Still Waiting

nice story but aren't the expected life spans of witches & wizards around 120 to 150 years, so it seems to me they died allfull young.Author's response
Hi, thank you for your review! :)
I know I made them all die rather young, but I was thinking that the War had taken more of a toll on them than everyone thinks and it has made them more suseptable to certain diseases they might not have before.
Hope that clears it up :)

Hi, thanks for your review :)
I know that Harry married Ginny in the book, but the great thing about fanfiction is that you are allowed to change bits and pieces around and mould the characters into new situations, that's what I love about it! There are lots of alternative Harry Potter pairings out there so have a little look around and see what takes your fancy, some fics are pure genius, you just need to find them!:)

Very sweet. I hate funerals, even the ones I write, because every time tread one, I think about my own Pauline, and out son, Gregory Daniel. My daughter and I survived but it's been a long fifteen years.

Hi, thanks for your review
I'm so sorry for your loss, this was one of those fics that just sorta comes to you in 'what if' moments, I was just trying to think of what happens when the time comes for the characters of Harry Potter to move on, I never meant to bring back painful memories for anyone.

Short, sweet and painful. Only the good die young, sang Iron Maiden once, and all the good people in the Potterverse passed at relatively young ages.
It screams for one or more prequels, though.
As for Ginny, I would say she's still alive but I guess we'll never know... unless you decide to write a sequel as well :DStill Waiting

This was very cute, but in a sad sort of way. I really enjoyed it and you write very well.Still Waiting

Aw! sniffle That was lovely. Very spare, very simple and yet you managed to catch perhaps how Harry would think. I particularly liked Hermione's epitaph.
