You know the Neville thing was kind of always coming with you.
Congratulations on reaching the death of Voldie. Big milestone (der).
I still don't really understand why Wormtail stole Harry's wand after the cave in. Did he actually switch sides again and then switch back in 10 minutes?
I really like these stories, even though they are very male. Excellent chapter. |

"Very male". I like that. :-)
One of many things I wanted to develop more in the chapters that didn't happen was Wormtail and his indecision. Way back when he was supposed to be a more major character, but I was deviating from Harry-centric-ness enough as it was. |

*wails* Nooo!
You killed Neville! How could you?
And what does it say about my priorities that I'm more concerned about
that than I am about the fact that they finally got Voldie?
At least there was a purpose to Neville's death, so I guess I can
forgive you...a little. If he does end up dying in canon, I hope that
it happens somewhat like this.
I've been horrible about reviewing, Gridley, but I really have been
fascinated by this story (except for the fact that you killed NEVILLE! *sob* )
The spell they used? That was awesome. I really liked how it just came to them.
But I'm still upset about Neville. *hugs him*

I'm afraid I've been building up to this (for Neville) since The Making of a Wand - which I wrote in July of '03, after I read OotP and realized Neville would be getting a wand of his own for the first time. After planning to kill off a character for almost two years you'd think I'd be over it. And I am.
Mostly.
As you say, I think it was a good death (to the extent that there are 'good deaths'). |

| Poor Neville! I just knew you were going to kill him off. *sniff* I guess I should get used to reading about some of my favorite characters dying. I'm sure JKR will do it too! |

| Actually, I'd be slightly surprised if Neville died in cannon. Take a more major role, yes. Continue to have character development, yes. Participate in the final showdown? Probably not. Die? I don't think that's likely. |

| I'm afraid there's just the epilogue left; you'll have to settle for HBP. Somehow I think you'll manage. ;-) |

Woo! Go Neville. Poor boy. And go Harry and Ginny. I liked that spell. As my friend said recently, "Elements rock!"
To be honest, I think I enjoyed your author's note most of all - there was something hysterically blunt about it.
Good luck with getting it all out before HBP. |

Well after all the trouble I got for "killing Ginny" last story I thought it was best to be safe. :-)
The Epilogue is all that is left, and should be up in a day or two. |

Hurray! Voldemort is dead-again! Great chapter, I can't wait to see how you wrap it up! Keep up the great work!
