We would like to thank anyone who reviewed us along the way- we couldn't have done it without you. Huge hug to Kerry Leprechaun who not only beta-ed our work but was a gigantic help. And last but not least- a big thank you toall the characters that agreed (either willingly or not...) to let us play with them as long as we wanted.They didn't knowwhat tey were getting into, the pooor things...
And now- on the the last chapter!!!!
Few months later, TIB already delivered. Dumbi is invited to a family dinner.
At THEIR PLACE
Voldi: Hello, Albus, please, come in.
Dumbi: Tom! How wonderful to see you.
Voldi: I saw your last article in You and Your Dog magazine. The idea of using preserved meat sandwiches in order to length human life spam- brilliant!
Dumbi: Oh, thank you. In fact, you were my inspiration. The joke you made last week about the pickled eggplant and the sandwiches made me think about the neutron-organisms inside meat and their contribution to the immunization center. . .
Voldi: I am happy that I was able to help.
Dumbi: . . . and to the cord system of the natural biosphere in the. . .did you say something?
Voldi: Never mind. (Kindly) To take your coat?
Dumbi: Oh, thank you.
(Voldi is taking Dumbi's coat)
Dumbi: Tell me, how's the children?
Voldi: Oh, they are great. Little Anne made her first Imperio spell today. Michael had a little problem and transformed Ivy's hair to bubbles. He's such a talented boy.
Dumbi: Such a young boy and already great in transfigurations. I can see he takes it after his grandfather.
Voldi: Yes. They are handful, though. Just yesterday old Marlla's walls were magically painted in sparkling orange. Its better that way, really, the old color was already peeled, but she wouldn't listen to logic. I had to obliviate her in the end just to have her dogs off my tail. The old bat.
Dumbi: yes, some people are simply not reasonable. . .
Tell me, how's my daughter doing?
Voldi: You can ask her yourself.
Ivy's coming in. going to kiss her father on the cheeks and Voldi on the lips.
Dumbi: How are you, Ivy?
Ivy: Terrific. How are you?
Dumbi: Everything is fine.
Ivy: How is Hogworts?
Dumbi: (dreamy expression) things are great. Just the other day Fudge came to visit and sponsored SPEW. Now Fawks wants me to establish SPPW but I bribed Hedwig to convince him it isn't catchy.
Ivy: Hedwig?
Dumbi: Yes. I'm afraid that Fawks has reached his. . . errr. . . courtship age.
Voldi: (mildly amused) Hedwig and Fawks?
Dumbi: (sighing) yes. . .I had to use some old connections of mine from the times when me and Aberporth enjoyed sheepherding.
Ivy: well, you know that oppositions attract to each other. . .
Voldi: Is that one of the reasons why we are so in love, dear?
Ivy: Of course not, darling. This is because two young authoress that don't know anything about their lives decided that for us.
Us: Oh, dear, they are on to us. RUN!!!!!
And the wicked authoress ran as if their lives were depended on that (and they were) and left Ivy, Voldi and Dumbi to themselves. . .for now.
And here are the Ten Commandments of the story, also known as:
Fun facts
1. The origin of the name TIB was really (due to too little sleep and sanity) That Important Because. The current named practically wrote itself after seeing Batman.
2. The first idea for the name for TIB's sister (Lin) was hyacinth. The reason is still unknown to the writers.
3. The scene with the love potion (Voldi's love to Wormtail) was used many times as a cure from depression among ourselves. Unfortunately, it lost its charm after the first 10,000 times (to teach you how generally "cheerful" we are).
4. The writers (yeah, us) didn't have a clue how to continue anything right from the first chapter. You should thank long hours of wackiness for writing it.
5. By numerous calculations, Voldi's 70 years old. TIB's 27. If this isn't a core for a soap opera, we don't know what is.
6. There was a high possibility of writing a love- scene between Cruickshanks and Warmtail. It was denied due to self respect.
7. While writing the Malfoy's scene (Cabbage Banana wine), your definite slaves (ha!) have become lab rats and tried the combination in question. The only response was : "someone should put it out from the law!!". The rest is still blurred.
8. Our favorite line is: "10,000 points and a death wish coming to you at an exclusive gift pack. If you'll call now you can also win a nice snakes coffin in the very low price of … OK, I lost it."
9. The first review ever was from. . us. We wanted reviews desperately. We still occasionally wonder how pathetic we could be (not that this fact changed.. . in the good way, of course,). It still exists in the first chapter's reviews in JOD. We never managed to delete it. . .
10. The idea for this page was in a process of studying for important test. Earth should thank itself for providing us those.. . although for its own sanity (and ours) we would have gave up on it.
Although we failed to mention it, the REAL killing curse is Ravada Kadab. Both Dumbi and Voldi came to the Potters in the same night, each saying the Avada Kadabra curse, but since they both shouted it in the exact same time, the first letters got confused and therefore, Harry's parents are still dead.
We simply couldn't make Harry happy. It will ruin our reputation.
Liked it? What about a last review, then?
