This was excellent! (Not to mention I was behind in my reading, so I had three chapter to read at once). Voldemort wins - or is the Light just regrouping? It would seem Severus either planted a false memory in Hermione's mind, or some type of spell to insure her passiveness. I have mixed emotions, on one hand I would like Voldy to win and see what happens with Severus and Hermione, on the other hand I would like to see the Light win. And as to Ron dying? I think book seven will end with Harry killing Voldy, but I believe he and Ron will die. As will Severus as he tries to protect Harry one last time (I still think Dumbledore bound him to an oath to kill him- he was poisoned- so that Sev could ingrain himself with the Dark Lord). I think Hermione will live. I can see the last chapter, ten years in the future, as she visits the graves of the fallen and recounts the lives of those that survived, telling Harry without his sacrifice, the Wizarding world would have been lost. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks, my dear! Welcome back. You are on the money. He planted something in her head, and as a side-effect, it addled her slightly for a few minutes. I don't think Harry will die, but if Ron does, I'd not be surprised. I felt a little guilty about killing him off here, but a sudden plan took root in my mind a cuople of weeks back. lol more up now. hope you like. |
