This is amazing. I love all the minor characters doing their bit (especially Krum! And how he's still fond of Hermione), the way the war's affected them (Alicia not flying fast any more is so sad), Cho lying to her family, Cho wanting to be a healer, the different sorts of magic and how telling it is that most wizards in Europe don't know anything about Asian or American magic. It was sad to hear about the ones they couldn't save, or Krum mentioning how his people have been fighting Voldemort for years and not getting recognised for it, but that's what happens. I love how Cho uses her Ravenclaw talents here to save people. And I love how you wrote Cho as a hero, not a sidekick or a back room worker, actually going out and saving people and keeping the lines of information open. We heard so much about the Trio fighting Voldemort, and Neville and Ginny and Luna keeping the fight going at Hogwarts, but this makes the fight against Voldemort about the ways people found to fight him all over the world.

I didn't think very much about Cho when I first read the books but the fandom has got me very curious about her. Thankyou so much for writing Cho as a hero, it's the story that she deserves and the one that was missing from the books.
