Hardly thinking, Snape lifted the girl, turning her head into his shoulder, and rocking her gently. "My poor girl," he murmured. "My poor, poor child." He rubbed her heaving back and felt tears soak through the thick material of his robes. "Why didn't you tell someone? Hush, no, be calm. We must go to Madam Pomfrey," he whispered. "Nothing is certain-- she may be able to save him."

WTF is THAT?!
Honestly, the garbage on this site these days...

SMRT

I've always thought that not enough attention is given to the fact that wands are 'loaded guns.'

Hermione said it absolutely correctly "murderers."

I see you are staying in cannon and minimizing the impact on the guilty.. Of course we wouldn't want to have to whole school looking at the Twins/Harry as if they were guilty of something more than a slightly malicious prank! Heavens, they might get tramatized!

Argh this is so sad! I had to fight the tears!
But very well written and an interesting plot!

That was so sad. Poor Hermione.

A beautiful and moving story.

I would have liked to see the reaction of all those who were involved in the prank see how a tragic error in judgement could cause harm and how they would handle the guilt and shame of what a simple and harmless prank caused.

That was so sad...
I still have tears in my eyes..

OMG, you very nearly made me cry! This is such a sad story, yet so poignant and well-written. You are an incredible author, although you do have a tendency to write tear-jerkers, I've noticed...keep up the great work! I'm adding you to my Favorite Authors list! Oh, and update Catechism soon, please, I'm dying to find out what happens next, now that school's begun!

i jsut wanted to tell you- amazing. ive never cried during a fanfic before, and this made me tear up. keep writing, cause you really have the talent!

*sniff* I nearly cried!! This was really, really good... great idea, marvelous writing. Awesome.

That was incredibly poignant... I cried. Beautifully done.

Brilliant story, and so endlessly sad, but it felt real.

OMG! Devastating! Wonderful work. I'd like to read a followup and see the others rip themselves to shreds over it!

I love your writing! you need to keep going wit this its tha bomb! keep up tha good work!

It's so sad. Can you imagine knowing that you killed the final remnant of your brother/best friend? Very well written. Words fail to describe...

Keep writing! I love your style.
