Chapter: Carousel
Very well developed story. I really enjoyed the explination of the metaphor. You described it all so well and the interraction between Victoire and Teddy was very sweet and natural.

Chapter: Carousel
That last line is so good. I've often thought about that, how everyone lost something in the Battle that would prevent them from being totally happy in the end. If they won, but still didn't allow themselves the freedom and joy that came with the victory, what was the point? I think that you captured that beautifully. And the imagery and symbolism of the carousel was lovely. This is a wonderful little story. Well done.

Chapter: Carousel
A carousel as a metaphor for life. No one knows how long the ride will be, but it's up to you to enjoy the ride. You can sit there mindlessly going 'round in circles, or you can go on great adventures and battle mighty foes.
I think that the Weasleys would probably be okay eventually, and would focus more on the life that came when Victoire was born rather than the one that was lost in the battle. I adore the imagery in this story though, it's just beautiful.
