This story is fantastic, and beyond all, realistic.
I think you really captured how these characters would act after the war, and the way that you captured their lost innocence was perfect. These characters came alive for me.
Your message about making peace with broken things was so insightful and symbolic, and I loved it.
I also loved the way you compared people's souls to the facets of diamond.
Really spectactulare ending as well, it was perfect, and the last line was striking and perfect.
Thank you for a great read, and please keep writing! :)

Wow. . .

I thought the glass was at Draco's apartment...?

A great story. Very good.

This is truly a very fine story, just like everything else of yours I've read. Amazing depth, incredibly well written--just brilliant.

But Draco's philosophy about having made peace with broken things was by far my most favourite part of it.

I loved the part about the diamond facets of people’s character and how you could never really know someone, ever. And I really loved the broken glass bit. This was extremely well written and I treasured it. You are a breath of fresh air =D

That was brilliant!

“That’s the problem,” he tells her, shaking his head. “Every time something’s broken, people want to fix it. If they can’t fix it, or if it isn’t worth the fix, they want to sweep it up and throw it away – out of sight, out of mind. See, I,” he says, licking his lips, gesturing to the pile of broken glass on the floor, “have made peace with broken things.”

I loved that part. "out of sight, out of mind." How true. We recently discussed this in a class that I took. I completely agree.

I also liked that you took on the issue of revenge and redemption. I'm currently writing a story about that. I hope it comes out as great as yours, but I honestly doubt it, as it's my first Dramione fic, and I'm not that great of a creative writer. Formal essays and I tend to get along better. Eh, oh well.

I'm very confused by this story. I don't really see the connection between the pieces with Draco and with the Golden Trio.

i don't kno if i have all the words in my vocabulary to express this story.. but i can say this much.. it was effin' brilliant..
that last line was my favorite part... you knew exactly how to end it..
this fanfic has got to go in my favorites..
awesome job

Wow... I can't think of anything else to say. I think I just need to read this again and soak it all in...

The last line made the whole story for me. Its such a realistic characterization, and it's not a surprise to believe that some are even going through the exact same thing with everything that's going on in the world today. Wonderful work.

A very well done, but disturbing portrait of the war, Attica. I am sad to think that this might be Harry, in some world.

You know those things that sometimes punch you in the gut and knocks the breath out of you till you can't do anything but think? This is one of those things...brilliant.

My god, did I ever love that last line. Totally made the whole thing.

I liked the fact that you turned them into a bunch of cynical survivors. I mean, Jk Rowling merely skipped nineteen years and POP, there they are, all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows. How annoying. For real.
I also liked the part about religion - especially when that insufferable (or perhaps that's just me...) nurse smiles THE smile. The ohhoneyyoushouldn'tpseakofmattersyoudon'tunderstandyourtimewillcome smile. IT REALLY IS LIKE THAT. God, it reminded me just how much I will never turn religious. Ever.

Oh, and, "I have made piece with broken things." made my day.
Keep up the great work.

Liking how it comes full circle at the end.
