Very sad and very well written!

wow, this is so good.

even though rowling never really gave kendra a voice in harry potter, i feel like you've captured it perfectly.

This is really sad, a bit heartbreaking even...

that's so sad... poor kendra

I really liked the repetition. This was a beautiful and sad piece.

Very sad... Almost made me cry. Very well written, too, the structure really adds a lot... Loved it.

*sniff* so sad! Very well done, though. The repetition is very powerful. Good job!

This was so sweet and sad at the same time. Great job I loved the repitition at the end of each one.

My favorite line was "We sing “Happy Birthday” and give the presents quickly, and then we pretend as if nothing has happened." I thought that was the most profound statement in the piece. Good job! I would've never picked Kendra!

Oh, I loved that. So poignant. And the repetition just reinforced the sadness and regret. Great job.

Oh that was really sad and touching and well written Lola! I spent AGES trying to think a plot for my Birthday Proj. But that's me. I love the way you can instantly get a plot and start scribbling down: you have talent. )

Oh, that's beautiful. I love the distinctive voice you give Kendra - crisp and brisk, yet also prone to being sentimental and with feeling. The descriptions are great and give a new side to familiar characters like Albus and Aberforth, and to characters we don't know much of like Kendra, Percival, and Ariana. The restating of the last phrase of each part is great, and the part where Ariana does not know what a birthday is is just so tragic.

Favorited.
