The Real Epilogue
(#) Wonderbee31 2007-08-23
Well, looks like Dumbledore had no clue whatsoever about the human heart and the way it works. My hope is that the curse Luna laid on him will hurt him, hurt him bad in the afterlife. Dumbledore did all but actually enslave Harry with physical chains, and Ron, and Ginny, the two of them are just as bad as the wqay the so-called bigoted purebloods in canon are for what they did. Looking forward to what happens next time with Harry and Hermione, and also, it was very nice to see a Molly who is going to let her somewhat spoiled brat children have it, with both barrells.The Real Epilogue

I like this, my favourite HP fics at the moment seem to be manipulative-Dumbles! More, please.
DH was a hell of a disappointment but I think many were ready for this, JKR's writing style took a major hit after GoF with regard to character development - the additions of Luna, Ginny and Neville to the core threesome seemed rushed and we never learnt much about them that wasn't already given by GoF - except that all of a sudden Ginny was very MS-ish (grr!)
This story seems to fit in more with JKR's given plot history (as in it fits the events we have already read about) and it does it in a believable manner.
Keep up the good work!The Real Epilogue

excellent development, harry and hermione do seem as though they are coming out from under some compulsion that plagued them in the last 2 books.
thanks so much
I love the curse from Luna, and I am really looking forward to insight into the results of it.
warmest regards

Hi DrT
As I said in a review of 'Master Z' I found you here through My Yahoo group ( upd_happy_hp ) as I have given up all hope for fiction alley.
About this story it has all of the makings of your usual excellent work, I'm glad to say.
On my Yahoo group today I posted my version of rectification for book seven; it's called: 'HP Where There's the Will'. It is only a one shot but it is over twenty thousand words and I would appreciate your comments if you have the time.

As usual, T, you have some of the most original, thought-provoking ideas in HP fandom.
While your ideas are always good, this one also starts off with enough emotion and action to have me hooked from the bat.
Thanks for continuing to share your ideas and your writing.The Real Epilogue

Now that's an interesting chapter to offer up. I love his gestures to Hermione and I suspect those will be returned fully when she returns.
I loved the bit with Molly, Ron, and Ginny and I can see why Molly would be so upset; her two youngest have signed away all rights and freedoms and, even more, done so willingly.
Finally, I think Dumbles last manipulation is going to cost him big time. Luna's curse alone is enough to damn him for a long time, given his arrogance, and who knows what Hermione will do when she finds out.
Good stuff!!The Real Epilogue
