Thanks ^^ I think the Malfoys have some first rate qualities, e.g. their love for each other, and, had Harry accepted Draco's hand in the beginning, the situation might have evolved very differently. I'm glad you liked Harry's letter; it's the first time I've written one from him and I really wanted to show that, although he is bright and empathetic, he's still very much a child. (In his academic acheivements, I've put Harry at the level which he should have reached in the canon if he'd applied himself. In the canon he spends most of his year mucking around with Ron, playing chess, exploding snap and generally frittering away study time.) 

Mourning is hard to write because people mourn in so many ways; some go numb- for weeks, months, even years, others become furiously angry, many go into denial and a few, the luckiest ones, are able to weep and heal. And, of course, people go through good minutes and bad minutes, so there's inconsistancy but, at the same time, one has to be consistant in that inconsistancy or the character's behaviour won't be realistic. I hope that my portrayal of mourning was believable.
