FANDOM: Harry Potter
FIC LINK: Memento Vitae
AUTHOR LINK: [livejournal.com profile] delphismith
RATING/WARNING(S): G
WIP?/WORD COUNT: one-shot | ~ 3,700 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Minerva McGonagall

FIC SUMMARY: There are things we carry in our hearts that no one else can fully understand. On her last afternoon as Headmistress, Minerva remembers some of hers.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is a lovely story with strong characterization. The use of the mementoes is nicely done, and I love how much they reveal of her character.
The tone of the story is great. Melancholy and happiness and humor blend well together.
