That was quite the evil cliffie and I'm going to be looking forward to seeing what happened at Hogwarts as well as what other evil Tom and his minions have accomplished. You've managed a nice Point of Divergence and I'm looking forwad to seeing where this goes.

If you think that's an evil cliffy.... It's not that I mean for it to happen, it's just the best breaks in the story line and yeah, there are quite a few of them like that in Part 1 especially.
Glad you're on board for the tale.
