Her death?!

This has to be one of the most beautiful, tragic and stunningly written stories I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Your Minerva is just wonderful, and I simply adore your characterisation of Ron. This piece always brings tears to my eyes. Brilliant, brilliant work!

Amazing story! At first I wasn't really sure about the pairing. I had images in my head about a very old McGonagall and a seventeen year old Ron, that was pretty disturbing. But a de-aged Minerva can be cute. Also, the way you write is very good. I love this story, but I was really sad when Minerva died. Was that really necessary?

It's a very very very good story. Althoough I'd have chosen a better pairing than ron/minerva. the way the story was done so it fitted the pairing well, although i still am not very fond of the pairing all the same.

Excellent! sniff sniff I like Arthur Weasley. Not so fond of Molly but I do feel for her children.

So sweet!

Super start!

This story was written absolutely brilliantly. You have a true talent! I honestly thought I would not like this story when I found out it was a Ron/de-aged Minerva story. I actually first found it over the summer, but I was randomly thinking about it today and decided: eh, why not? Now I'm positively delighted that I read it! Stories have been able to make me cry, but none have truly been able to make my heart ache like yours did. God, I could feel Ron's devastation in my heart! This story took me on a rollercoaster of emotions that I won't be forgetting any time soon.

Wow...

Ok, at first I thought..."Oh, God no...Ron Weasley? Never!" But, you reeled me in. I love the style, and the poignancy of seemingly simple lines. I love how Minerva lets him in, and he sort of accepts his feelings for her without question - you made a simple, believable Ron.

I cringed, gasped and cried, especially when Minerva died...just the way you described it, the aftermath, the beyond gorgeous baby...you got me!

"It was then that the tears began to fall as I realised that Minerva would never see Diana grow up, wouldn't see her go to Hogwarts, graduate, get married, have children of her own...the list was endless."

OMG -digging for more unused snotrags- That line was my undoing.

"Harry said the obituary, not that I listened overly much. I caught occassional snatches such as 'heroine', 'mother' etc. but I was too focused on her body which was lying on a white marble slab similar to that of Dumbledore's. As soon as Harry had finished, there was a burst of flame which died down almost immediately, leaving a marble coffin that was to be placed alongside Dumbledore. Minerva had always wished to remain at Hogwarts, even in death, and Harry and Hermione thought it was fitting. I suppose I would have too if I could comprehend anything except the fact she was dead at that time."

And here, I really couldn't do anything but wail.

Well done.

Alright, you have got me sobbing like a child. You have described it so well, that it could evoke so many feelings in me.

I LOOOVE this chapter. It is only sad that you didn't write more about how everyone else reacted on the pregnancy, and how they got through that and the birth and all. I would have loved to see a scene with Minerva in pain, but Ron helping her through it. Lovely story. Well written.

Wow, 10's a lot, even for such lovely piece. I usually don't get that lot on a whole fan-fiction... Good chapter.

Aww. Too bad you cut it off so soon at the end, but I love this.

OH NOOOO! No. No. You're gonna have me crying, I bet...
