Great story... Good intentions cannot be held back by fear if we want to see true progress... This story is a counterpoint to all the doom saying "what if"s that often seek to delay progress so that the "right people" can position themselves to benefit...

This was a really amazing story. I love the moral dilemma, and the way that all of the characters are written. A paragraph at the bottom describing the moral dilemmas, really got me thinking. And the story was just amazing.

I don’t have kids myself. So the story was very good, but the moral quandary of caring someone who is sick, even though it was against the law, really got me thinking. As I said, I don’t have kids, but my mother passed from cancer. I know at the time, and even now, I would like to think I would’ve done whatever possible legal else illegal to cure her. And suffer the consequences.

Again, the story leads to some deep thinking, and question about morality. I love it! You did an amazing job.

There was no such thing as a right thing, because the wizards always do that than they will simply be servants. Ron did the selfish, egoistic thing. There is after all a reason there even is a statue.

What about stealing from a well-off person, who will only be moderately-mildly inconvenienced, and using THAT money to give to the druggist so that he would be able to make other cures?

very interesting story.

There would have been no problems if he just kept his mouth shut. "Oh it must be a miracle, how wonderful " problem solved! he had no reason to go blurting it out to any one that would listen.

Thanks for writing a story with Ron as the focal point. He is very underappreciated. His ability to see people for what they are (someone's loved one) should inspire more of us.

Very good! I’m favoriting this...

Very interesting story with a premise I had not yet read before. I enjoyed it.

Ron would not do this.
:-/

This is for obvious periods very uncomfortable to read(on an emotional level).

You mixed nice moments with dark ones in a strong fashion.

Well done.

Love it!

This is the first time I’ve seen a story based on Kohlberg’s scale of moral development.

I think you fell into a trap of typical fanfiction that revealing magic would lead to worldwide acceptance. I can see societies where that would be the case but as pointed out in my other review a lot of the societies around the world would not be happy or would attempt their upmost to take over controll of magicals. Then there are those who would start experimenting on magical children, creatures and plants they get their hands on.

Canonically the population of the magical world is very small. Even if you scale that up to levels where the world cup and the spectator numbers at Hogwarts games work we are talking about tops ~5-8 million wizards and witches worldwide. And to some degree even the goverments in the developt world can't object that at least the muggleborns are legally subjects of the respective muggle goverment and as such subject to their laws ...

But I would say there is a soloution to the dilemma here that was overlooked. Obliviators can't be as stupid about the muggle world as Arthur is shown to be also we see that the MoM is capable of installing people into positions withing even the highest echolons of the muggle world (Kingsley) and magicals can be trained to do certain normal work with magic (example again Kingsley in the office).

So the magical world of the UK could easily create a scheme where they do not openly show themself and still heal the children. They could even make the muggle side pay the wages for most wizards involed via the NHS.

Hmm,

ok they in UK the panic and religious response might be limited. But the statue protects magicals internationally. And large parts of the worlds population lives in areas that are not very tollerant and in some parts withccraft still is officially punichable by death. Problem is it is unlikley that the magicals in the developed world can go open without the other parts learning of their exsistence.

And what about magicals in regimes that will attempt to make use of them, or else. Like for example North Korea.

Don't get me wrong I'm all for healing those sick children, if you have the possibility but with magic they should also be able to easily find methods to do so without revealing magic.
