Sad about Ron, but we knew it was going to happen with all the buildup. I did think that it would have been funnier if Voldy had held the light saber backwards and accidentally activated it himself, realizing that he could have had it all and been the next Sith lord too...too late. Really enjoyed the story though, much better than the hallows. I'm looking forward to the next chapters. Tie up all the lose ends and springboard the next book.

Hello idfrost.
Yes, it's sad, but there was plenty of foreshadowing. It would also be unrealistic to face battle at nearly ten to one odds, and not lose anyone.
I can see that. "I feel great power within, but I cannot fathom it's operation!"
"Erm...you see that switch? Push it!"
"You mean like thiBZZZZZZZ!"
"Yeah. Like that."
Next chapter will officially end this story. Any springboarding will be when I've gotten a few things in real life dealt with.
