Fee Fi Fo Fum

[mhalachai]

A whole bunch of stuff.

First off, Inevitable commentary on Chapter 29. I think that writing Dumbledore is the hardest thing I've had to do. We all know he's a bit insane, but brilliant. He's got the weight of his world's fate on his shoulders, and he has decided (IMO) that there are people that need to be sacrificed. Yet he still is guiding and attempting to nurture Harry. You will not be surprised when I think this cannot end well.

Anita, on the other hand, does have some vaild points, and keep in mind that she's only heard a very small part of Harry's story (like the prophecy, and Harry's faced Voldemort several times. Harry hadn't told her the "whys" of any of that.) That will be explored next chapter.

I had someone comment on What A Bitch (tm) Anita is being. Maybe I'm getting writer's tunnel vision again, but I think I'm writing Anita as she's portrayed in the books. She's over-protective, blunt, and still tries to play by the rules. In her world, it's a rule that you don't send a kid to do a grown-up's job, which is how she's viewing 11-year-old Harry going after the Philosopher's Stone. (Again, she doesn't have the whole story)

I hope that people are also keeping in mind that she suffered some severe emotional and physical trauma at the hands of a witch recently. That will affect how she views people from Harry's world, no matter how much she protests.

And it will all be discussed soon. I hope you all understand, but the next chapter will have no set date. I need, *need* to get this one right. It will be out when it's out, as it has severe repercussions for the rest of the story.

Then we have a meme. From houses7177:

Hey sorry for taking awhile to comment on the last 2 chapters of Inevitable, but I was busy with finals and homework. Anywho I loved them as always. I don't recall Anita ever being screwed up for so long, but then again she's never been cursed before. She will be fine by the end of the story right? She's gotta be. I wanna see her kill/ beat some folks (especially Meng Die, I haven't forgotten about that little incident). So are Anita and Dumbledore ever going to use magic on each other? If so, who do you think would win? I think Anita would, or actually I hope she would, Dumbledore is too secretive for his own good. Oh and one more thing, I noticed in one your comments, you said Anita was the most powerful necromancer of the last 1000 years and the scariest but isn't Voldemorte a necromancer too or did I misread that? If he is, does that mean Anita is more powerful?

No worries. Anita's only been messed up for a few days; it's just that the chapters go on for so long that it seems like longer.

Most of what you're asking I can't tell you, I'd give away the ending :)

As for necromancers: I think that Voldie knows death magics, but he's not a necromancer like Anita is. It's inside her; it's what she is. I suspect Voldie had to give up a lot to get his hands on death magic like that (and I'm going to address that, never fret)
