Well this one was more drama laden and angst-y. I have to say as much as my brain loves (and I use that term loosely) happy endings there is something immensely gratifying with the angst. I think you have a great sense of how life really is, as my idea is that those who write and read fanfic are looking for something maybe lacking in their own lives. I am all for reading happy mush, but the angst-y bits really get you reading... I don't feel that the back story is really needed; I think we can all infer as to how the head master may or may not know about Emma, and that it is truly irrelevant and doesn't exactly make for cohesion in this story...Just my 2 cents anyway.
