Hello! When writing Façade, I was faced with a very hard task with deciding on the ending. If u will bear with me, I will lead u through my process. But first, yes everyone did die, and well it was not so much the devil as an allegorical figure of death, but they can be one and the same. But good news is Voldies gone! Ne who, first on my death list was Voldermort, need I say more? Ne who, second was Harry. Now why kill him? Well might I ask is he not the perfect tragic hero? Brilliant, beautiful, larger than life, yet arrogant beyond all belief. And also, if you look at the prophecy, it tells how one must die at the hands of the other, b/c neither can live while both survive. Well the inverse is that neither can live without the other. And there is such a connection between the two that it is my personal belief that Harry and Voldermort will both die in the end. Decided no matter how justified Harry is in the murder, taking life sacrifices ur own. To be the scourge if god is to be scourged. next came Ron and Pansy, -very minor characters in my story- and they had to die because they were in sense 'innocent' and had nothing directly to do with the war (which is also kind of why Pansy goes a little crazy) it is basically to show the evils of war and hatred and such. They had no cause to die except being caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. (Which is basically what happens to Ginny too even though she plays a larger role) but Ginny also cannot survive w/o her love, which is to say it is the most important thing in general. last were Hermione and Draco, and for the entirety of my story I thought they would live, but I looked around and saw that everyone else died because of them yet they are still here, y does that not make sense? So I decided that they two must die, because to have them live after starting this whole mess was just ludicrous. This was when it became a true tragedy, and I changed the category to such. Lastly, I wanted to say that I brought in death, to show that there is no good conquers all or ne of that stuff. Once Voldermort is gone, evil still exist, for without evil there can be no good. It's a common misconception that once the 'bad guy' is gone, everything will be perfect. Yet this is horribly off, for there must remain a balance of good and evil in order for the world to function. The balance may be restored once this evil character has bit the dust, but evil it still exists. There are forces in the world bigger than all people combined that we can never control. Here I could say many interesting things that actually did not show up in my story but they relate to it. Maybe I'll bring them up in another fic. But with this one, it was very tempting to end it happy especially because I risked loosing the support of all my readers, but I believe that that would have cheapened my story. I feel that my story was stronger like this, and I do not regret doing it this way. But, alas, a sequel is quite impossible.

Bye guys! Hope this made it better! Let me know if it did!
