Poor Lavender... She deserved better.
I'm not a fan of the first person, but it worked well enough in your story, allowing us an insight in Lavender's thoughts and feelings I don't think we would have had otherwise. I liked your characterization of Lavender in this, how she really was a true Gryffindor in the end, and your descriptions of her thoughts as she feels herself die are pretty neat :)
Nice work :)
Cheers!

This is really gripping. The use of present tense and the short sentences made me feel like I could see everything that was happening to Lavender. Your characterization of her is how I imagine her, as someone who's not eager for battle but who will choose to be brave when the time comes.

I like that you ended this oneshot with one of the more open-ended questions in Harry Potter fandom- Did Lavender or did she not die during the Battle of Hogwarts?

I hope she's not dead yet, just because I love her character and like stories that give her more growth after the war. And the fact she's still conscious in the end...I think that suggests that she's at least still alive at the end of the fic, but I like that you leave it as a question. Great job.

Oh my lord that was a really true and powerful description; hanging in a delicate balance of horror and sorrow. A good oneshot, I must say.

Wow. Did not know at all where you were going with this, but damn, it hits hard. I'm not generally a fan of first-person stories, but I think you used it properly here, as it feels more powerful this way.
The line "Let it not be said that Lavender Brown did not fight until the very end" was excellent - even as she's dying, Lavender is staying in-character and thinking about her image/reputation, but you've added the whole facet of her not really being afraid to die per se.
I also enjoyed at the end that the sentences got shorter, because of course she's dying and can't really think properly. A great example of the form defining the function in writing. And the end - "Am I dead yet?" - just heartwrenching. Thanks for this!
