    Very well written chapter. Extra points for using my favorite quote from To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus' definition of real courage to Scout.

    Author's Response: I love that quote, too - the whole book, in fact, is a gold mine of them. I'm using the same one in another fic. Thanks for reviewing!

    Okay, I nearly cried on that one. My son, Kris, was stationed in Iraq for a year. Each day was waiting for night to come in order to go to bed for the next day.

    Author's Response:

    I can only imagine what it's like to have that fear pervading every moment of every day. I've heard it said that the "womenfolk" waiting at home have it the hardest, because they have nothing to occupy their minds. Granted, that was a pretty old-fashioned source, since there are plenty of women at the front now.

    DH was sad enough. I need to get back to humour. Thanks for reviewing!

    Aww that was so sad. it reminded me of the way the officers of the soldiers would come to the door to tell the family that their son or daughter had died in the line of duty. I'm from a military background, though luckily none of my relatives died while serving their country.

    I'm glad Harry went in person to talk to Andromeda and Vera, instead of just sending a letter of condolence. And he was very good with Dennis too, his mother certainly did not need to lose both of her sons. (that's why family members are never placed together during wartime in the military as well)

    The two women should have much in common and be able to help each other.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for reviewing! I had the Creeveys come back with them mostly so Andromeda would have some company. Harry will be very busy, and he'll likely live in the dorm for a while.

    I can't imagine having to deliver that message (or receive it, for that matter). Andromeda literally lost everyone: Ted, Dora, Remus, and her sister Bellatrix, although she'll probably get over that one fairly quickly. Both she and Vera deserved to get the message in person, I thought.
