I'm not sure if you made a mistake in your story or not, but you said that they used the truth serum on someone, but didn't say who. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say it was either Snape or Dung. If it was Snape, then that wouldn't work because the story said he earlier took something to cancel out all known truth serums or some-such.
I continue to love the story, and I cannot wait until the end is written. I'm not at all sorry for Ron dyin'. He was turning into a Sith Lord. Arrogant fool.
Loved the way how you dealt with Albus.
There is one thing that kinda bugged me though, and that's all the nicknames Harry kept giving Voldemort and his Death Eaters. That seemed a bit childish, and really just not needed. But I do have to say that after the story's done written, you can go back and fix mistakes.

Heya Richard!
It was Snape, and he took that antidote almost a year before. Nothing stays in the human system for that log. That's actually why I timed it the way I did. He was captured on May 11th, and they waited until the 20th to question him. that way, any antidote he took would be flushed from his body before he was questioned. Good catch, though.
The end will be less than exciting. Just some clean-ups...trials and the like.
Ron. I see him as being 'at risk' not actually falling. But that's just me.
Albus: How better than to take everything he's worked for, for so long? Glad you liked it.
Nicknames: Voldemort's power comes from people who are afraid of saying his name. That's one of the few things i agree with Dumbledore on. "Fear of a name only increases the fear of the thing itself."
There is a vast pool of historical references to using nicknames for the enemy. I don't believe there's ever been a war in history where some sort of demeaning names weren't used. Reference the book: 'Faces of the Enemy' By Sam Keene. An excellent look into the social psychology of war.
Thanks for the review.
