Hmm... my first guess was that the "shell" that died was the last canon book (Deathly Hallows), from what the characters must escape before the last word (hence the bit about finishing within a number of words.) However, since first it would have been a modified version of DH to begin with since the pre-resurrection infodump came from Dumbledore, and second you of ALL people know perfectly well that the world and characters do not end with "The End", especially in THIS case (any more than Frodo, Toad or Peter Pan are dead)... well, perhaps not. In any case I wanna read the rest of this. Keep up the good work!

You've got good points (and are mostly right), but this situation was somewhat rigged. More details in upcoming chapter.

I think this is just going to be a story where I'm going to have to wait until the end. I'm still confused, but hey...it's a good read!!!!!

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Well, the end approaches quickly. Thanks for the compliment!

Very interesting. Very well done too.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Why thank you.

Wow...o_O

Can't imagine where you're going with this story...but I can't wait to find out!

Interesting take on the last chapter of Dh.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Yes, bafflement's been pretty much the standard response from everybody. Hoping to cure that soonish. Or possibly make it worse. Mwahahahaha.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Working on it!

A grand plan that extends even to death! Oh what a plan, what plan!

It sounds like Harry and Padfoot came up with a plan to get Malfoy, Hermione, and Ron up to the office. And Dumbledore set them up to drink the poisoned mead from the party, although I am surprised that he kept it. This looks like the beginning of a mission that needed all four of them and they needed to be dead. This certainly looks like a very good beginning

Anne B. Walsh replied:

You've got some of it. This will be a very short story, but I hope to get plenty of fun into it nonetheless.

Well, I confess confusion at this point. . . .

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Gooooood. I have trained you well.

Anthony May posted a comment on Monday 23rd February 2009 8:01am

Oh that was cruel!! How could you leave off there? I've really enjoyed what you've written so far. Please update soon - You've got me on hook and I need to see what happens!

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Mwahaha. Cruelty to readers is my middle name. More as soon as it's written!

CaptainG posted a comment on Monday 23rd February 2009 6:38am

I kinda wish this was the end. and that they had all been killed. It would be a fitting end I think (but then ive always been macabre). Youll need to pull it out of th ebag to get out of this one without me wishing you'd stopped now

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Forgive me for asking, but if you're macabre, what in the world are you doing reading my work? Me, the person so addicted to happy endings her fans have an abbreviation for them?

txspenguin posted a comment on Monday 23rd February 2009 6:14am

very interesting...look forward to reading more

Anne B. Walsh replied:

As I look forward to writing it.

Bloody Buggering H...!
Anne, what are you up to this time. Sometimes I've got the idea you're swamped in plot-bunnies. Probably jumpin' out of your desk-drawer!
I have NO idea what so ever about what you're doing. Planning a different kind of trip to the dream-world?
Tomorrow....seems to far away.
Until next time, take care. C

Anne B. Walsh replied:

You have described my situation admirably. I am, however, taking steps to get back into at least Be Careful if not mainverse DV as soon as possible.

sleeping draught?

Nope, sorry.

That was an EVIL start, and I don't mean my cat.

It's tomorrow: Where's the next part. B-)=

Anne B. Walsh replied:

I have this thing called work. Writing comes afterwards.

Evan Mayerle posted a comment on Monday 23rd February 2009 4:42am

Well, now, that is rather interesting and it sounds like a set-up worked with Dumbledore and others who've passed on. I'm not clear, yet, on the why but I'm looking forward to finding out.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

You're close. More as soon as it's written.

Eric Oppen posted a comment on Monday 23rd February 2009 3:48am

Oooh...that was unexpected. A very O. Henry ending!

Personally, in their shoes, I'd have left Snape's mead alone and summoned a house-elf to bring something from the kitchens. Even though Snape was a good guy and on the right side, he was still a twisty bugger.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Ah, but Harry went for what he went for on purpose... all shall be made clear soon enough, never fear!

Carol Layland posted a comment on Monday 23rd February 2009 3:32am

A new story and a very curious one at that. Well as usual your stories are so well done that I cannot help but enjoy them and that is why I read everything that you write. I especailly enjoy the Dangerverse.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Thanks a lot! :blushes a bit:

Illusia posted a comment on Monday 23rd February 2009 2:09am

Harry's taking them all to somewhere. Something different happened while he was dead and Dumbledore knows. Snape knows.
AU world? Back in time?

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Very, very good! Yes and no... more soon!

Minkus posted a comment on Monday 23rd February 2009 12:55am

So many great directions this could go!

Hope you approve of the one it does...
