Ah, yes, your wife and her creative writing class citing Anton Chekov's Law (as opposed to one by Pavel Chekow, with might also be applicable here). I'll be very interested in seeing how that one act affects events. I wonder, are they going to return him to that time machine and send him back that way or do you have another approach (I do have to wonder just how long that timesand will keep him there). Odd thought, will he have trouble keeping secrets from Hermione when/after he returns?

Well, I am using a different approach in dealing with time and sending Harry back. I has been used before in the series, but it will be a bit before Harry goes back. Keeping secrets from Hermione, yea right like that's going to happen. remember its hurricane Hermione when shes after information. I do have a roughed out part dealing with this. But like I said it's real rough and its possible that I may not even use it.
