Arghhh! I just typed up a loong entry about my night out and the oddest dream ever. And it was a good post too and my dream was long and detailed and I wanted to remember it dammit! I hate it when LJ eats my posts, but this time it is entirely my fault. Because I wanted to save it just in case it doesn't post, so I highlighted it all and pressed paste!!! Yes, paste, and in the place of my entry tere was a fic I recently wrote. I am angry also stupid.

But I am now amused, because I received a letter. A survey from my constituency's Conservative Candidate! hahahaha. Like I would ever vote for him. At least I now know his name, whats with men named Iain being Conseravitive, it's an odd name too. Still. So amused. I haven't got any other pre-election mail. Unimpressed, Labour, unimpressed. I think I will fill the survey, they even included an envelope. How thoughtful.

Hellothere. I just wanted to thank you for the beta on my fic. I have it posted up in my journal now.

I think I pretty much made all the changes to wording and such you suggested. I tried to describe the chamber a little more, but only ended up addding one sentence. Anything else seemed to disrupt the narrative flow a little.

I realized going into this story that I was asking any reader for a pretty big suspension of disbelief to put Hermione in the situation I needed to. But I added one more line in her conversation with Dumbledore just to try to justify his thinking a little better.

I also slightly tweaked the ending, simply because I can't seem to leave my own pieces alone.

Thanx again.

Hi, glad my beta was of help. I am looking forward to reading the final thing. I personally really liked the ending, but totally understand that a writer always finds things to change. :)
