Oh my Merlin, from how you responded to another reviewer, you write your stories as I do. Bloody exhausting, I find, but the only way I CAN do it... :D Damn fine story. I liked Oren's justification of "AK" & "Imperio". And it really was in the name of humanity. Who says Slytherins are all bad? :D My better half is a Slytherin wanna-be, and if he could he'd use "Imperio" to get the flies out of the house or keep them from coming in. He only kills them because he has to. :D Keep up the fantastic job, and see you someday in Barnes & Noble.
