Aw - that scenario of Harry and Ron if it had been Hermione who had died...
It was what would happen if Harry and Hermione were the ones left behind that was the most intriguing, since Rowling clearly hadn't planned for that scenario.]
True -that's what I think is so interesting about this fic...you take away Ron and suddenly all these dynamics (Harry/Ginny/Hermione and Weasleys/Harry/Hermione) are totally altered.
(Plus, I think Ron felt that if he gave in, Harry and Hermione could slip out on their own.) Except the Burrow was attacked by the Death Eaters, which nobody had been expecting. Ron, who like Harry & Hermione, had learned more in their few months on the run than he ever had during formal study at Hogwarts, was able to fight them off, but at the cost of his own life. If I were writing this last confrontation, it would keep intercutting between Harry fighting Voldemort, Hermione doing something completely insane to destroy the last horcrux and Ron fighting for his family.]
I really like this explanation for why Ron stays at home, that even when it seems like it's not the Trio tackling evil, it really is (aw, Ron!). And that would be really cool, BTW - the cutting between Ron, Harry and Hermione.
Yay - extra commentary :)
[One of the many people that I got check this fic over objected to the tin on the top of the window frame. "We don't keep things up there," she had objected. "I know. Neither do we. That's the point," I shot back. I really enjoyed adding bit of Luna's lunacy here and there.]
I enjoyed it too :) Especially the globberdoodle!
Thank you for the commentary - it was definitely worth waiting for :D I always think it's always so cool to get backstory on fics - it makes me appreciate the story even more.
