I liked this very much. I didn't think 'eccentric' at all. Just...different, and the story works. As for coherency, well, who said Magic was coherent in the first place? It just is, like this story just Is. Besides, I followed the storyline pretty well. Any questions I had at some point were clarified and answered in a later section. Yet another great job writing.

Every time I read this I sob. Every single time, never fails. So in lieu of leaving incoherent whimperings here, I will instead post one of my favourite bits. Or at least the bit where I went: Oh, THAT'S my favourite bit and replaced it for the other.
"“Kill me,” one pair of green eyes orders with all the calm in the world. Hurt me, bleed me, make me break, is what echoes across her mind and she’s not sure if she doesn’t mean it. She’s tired of scraped knees. Luna turns away, starting to doodle with her wand on the floor.
“Are you sure?” Harry asks."
Those lines are the epitome of this for me, so very sad and beautiful and just brilliantly written.
I'm like to first stay I hate you. No I dont, I love you I really do. But you make me cry, tears and sniffles and everything. EVERYTIME I read something you write. Which isn't a bad thing mind you but hurts. Everything you write makes me sad. But its all SOOOO good. Seriously though I feel so bad. The ending is so touching. They changed everything and remember nothing. It seems that everything you write is about children who give up everything to save a world they won't remember. I ADORE you're use of Luna, cause it always seem like she's forgotten but this, you you put her to good use. How they meet, truly really MEET is perfect and made me happy sigh. Snape is wonderful, for seeing what was there even if he didn't understand and Hermione, she was a nice way to show...now and then I guess but then is just the same as now she just didn't know it. Anyway this was awesome and I love you and everything you write.

You know this makes me sob every single time I read it. Every single time. So in my book that makes it... well it is pretty much perfect. Love it. Just adore it.
You have a very unique and compelling writing style. It's almost stream of conciousness, as if you writing how a mind would think, and the language you use is very effective as well as gripping. Thanks for posting, and looking forward to whatever you write next.
