Beautiful Writing as always. I did read this chapter the day it was posted, and I'm sorry it took so long for me to review it.
Even though I knew it was going to happen I was sadden when Ron was killed, and I hope Luna will find someone else who will lover her for her.
I wondered why Harry didn’t use his light saber during the graveyard scene?
Regarding Dumbledore If I were in Harry’s shoes I probably would have punched Dumbledore in the nose once he was glued down, for everything he’s done to him. Because I’m more of an instant gratification type of guy, I knew he wouldn’t do it, but I kind of believed Hermione did record their entire kitchen scene conversation, and was planning on posting it on the WWN anyway to seal the deal on Dumbledore’s fate in the eyes of the community.
I’m glad the Rapture didn’t happen this Saturday so I can read the final chapter when it comes out lol. I hope RL works itself out for you. Keep up the wonderful work

Hello, No-one.
I have been so very busy these lest few weeks, both looking for work and when I can find it actually working that I have had little tome for anything else.
Killing off Ron was the hardest thing i had to do. He is a likable character, but his fate was already written. Unlike Rowling, I made it fit the story.
Luna has those who love her, ant that will be in the aftermath/epilogue.
Why no lightsabers: He needed to keep it a secret. If the Deez were aware it worked in a magical environment they would have been able to warn Voldy, which would have made his demise a bit more complicated.
Punch: I considered it...seriously, but that would go against his set of ethics. In this case, I've made him the kind of guy who watches with a beer in his hand, while his enemies destroy themselves.
Hermione did record their conversation, but Rita will be writing an expose that will pretty much shred every part of Dumbledore's legend.
Rapture: It's funny. In the fifty years I've been alive, I've seen nearly a dozen different 'rapture dates' come and go. We're still here.
Final chapter may end up being two. I've written almost 20, 000 words, and I'm not sure if FicWad lets that much through in a chapter. I'll post as soon as I can get things straight.
