I can go to bed happy.

Chapter 66 is done. Thank goodness. Longest chapter ever for me...4200 words. (Nothing compared to junediamanti and mariannelee, but for me, wow.) It did not flow as easily as other chapters have, but I am happy with the finished piece, or as happy as I'll ever be.

Much to do, and then to bed.

ETA: My goodness, I already have a review. *boggles*

It took me *all day* to read the whole thing - though I must admit I had little breaks in between, made lunch, brewed a potion, et cetera - and I enjoyed every bit of it. I have not come across a fic that I have enjoyed like this in *ages*... so, thanks! Oh, and - more please! ;)

p.s. Hermione is so *annoying* in your fic, in a very swotty know-it-all way, as it should be. :-)

p.p.s It's great how you began in the traditonal way - with Harry at Privet Drive, ir really made me feel as though it *could be* book 6.

*runs around cheering and shouting* You've read it!! Frabjous day!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! w00t!!! That means so much to me. I really appreciate that you took the time to read it...this is awesome!

And yes, Hermione annoys me in the books sometimes, especially OotP. When she did the blackmail routine on Rita I was astonished. And then the magical contract thing...at this point I believe she'd do quite a bit to get what she wants for Harry and to keep him safe. I thought that tLS was a logical extension of that, but several reviewers have mentioned that they don't think Hermione is IC in it.

If I did it over again I would excise the Harry subplot...I'm not as interested in the Trio, and I think I could have written a much shorter and more concise fic without Harry's viewpoint.
