The final chapter

[caeria]

I've always enjoyed posting the snippets.  I know that I take forever between chapters so it's a way of giving you guys something to think about while I plod my slow way through the writing.

I started looking at what was already written for the final chapter to see what bit could be posted.  There wasn't a single snippet of text I coud find that wouldn't give away the ending.  As the writing continues, I might find something, but everything is so intertwinned that any one piece will reveal how Voldemort is defeated, what happens to Harry, what happens to Severus and Hermione and the most important part -- what happens to Lil' Sev.  And while Lil' Sev is jumping the shark a little bit, his scene has been in my head for eight years and I'm going to write it, believability be damned.

So, since I can't give you a snippet, I decided I'd tell you the structure of the final chapter.  There are so many moving parts to the final chapter, that I decided that everyone gets to have their POV scene.  Although if there was multiple players, the POV is just from one person in the group.

We will see the final confrontation played out from the POV of:

• Voldemort (to include Dumbledore)
• Harry
• Neville
• Percy (to include the Twins)
• Hermione (including Severus)
• Augusta Longbottom
• potentially from the POV of one of the Slytherins

As not all the scenes are written yet, is there someone in the story that you'd like to see the battle from their POV?  Something that you've wondered about that might be answered in those final scenes?  Let me know.  If it sounds interesting and can be worked in, I'll be happy to include it.  Goodness knows, you guys have been a big part of this story and the process.  Seems only fair I let you get your thoughts in before eight years of work comes to a finish.
