Odd, that -- you'd have expected they would be quite popular POVs, as two of the major characters in the series.
I think there would be plenty of plot available in the efforts at rebuilding the idea of a school as a haven for education, while resolving (at least some of) the bitterness that's bound to be there between pupils who were on opposite sides, or whose parents were, plus all the "noises off" that come from the same situation on a wider scale outside. Lots of angles to all that which could be covered, plus (I'd argue) actual schoolwork-towards-exams in the style of the (earlier) books as a worthwhile plot line in itself to show how normality was being reasserted despite the problems. Plus, of course, the shipping, which should be a significant thread even if not the dominant one.
I'm not volunteering to write it, mind you! I don't really have the time. But I would like to read it.
