This was lovely. Ron's comments did worry me a bit, for Harry's sake, about his change of character, but I think my favorite moment in this was Harry's response with a smile and nod and his reasons behind it.

Though I didn't appreciate the motives behind Narcissa's strength, seeing Harry as lesser than herself, I did love the way she presented that strength, and the description of Draco's thoughts overall how Narcissa could pull off regalness even in hospital attire was lovely as was the entire relationship you built there of his fondness for his mother.

I was a little confused over Ginny. I loved the look Harry had interpreted at first, but then when you described a following conversation they had over why Harry and Ginny broke up...was Harry completely mistaken?

Lovely job with this story. And Merry Christmas to you.
