My condolences on your loss.
An interesting idea, but given the horrors you describe Harry seeing during his lifetime, how does the loss of a mere few thousand people really rate? I could see his anger from a personal standpoint but not the righteous anger on behalf of humanity. Afterall, Dumbledore and Voldemort hardly rate as pimples on the arse compared to the loss of millions.
It is amusing that Harry gets to keep his ship, how will that impact things?

Heya BJH!
As much as Marion’s loss saddened us, she had a very Buddhist point of view. Death is part of life and life is part of death. It’s been almost three years and while we miss her still, life goes on.
Taken from your point of view, I’d have to agree with you. Mankind is as mankind has always been; short sighted and greedy. Wars and natural disasters will happen and but for the victims or their families, life will go on. Harry is still Harry. He is a man of deep feeling, and here, he misses Hermione terribly and has for almost a thousand years. That’s really what I was trying to show. He’s tired. He wants to be with his love again and while this way he has to face the darkness again, he has to chance to influence things in a more positive manner. His intent is not to rule, but to help those who do, to make more intelligent choices.
Harry’s anger at Dumbledore is for mushrooming him. If not for the MOB, he would have been better prepared to deal with Voldemort. Perhaps if Dumbledore had actually done his job, instead of leading his pawn around by the nose, Harry would not have been infused with the magicks of several hundred people when Voldy finally shuffled off this mortal coil. He could have died with his beloved, after a normal life span instead of hanging about literally forever.
The My Little will play an important part. Next part will be the set-up.
By the Way, when are you gonna finish ‘Like Some Old Song…’?
