Time Line 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Begin the count down. There are exactly 3 chapters left ("Body Tag," "The Final Game," and "Noble Sacrifices"), plus multiple epilogue which will cover every main and minor character that appeared (Percy, McGonagall, Ollivander, Peter, etc.).
Then this story is DONE.
This isn't perfect, but it has some key notes, though some more detailed than others. What's been going on since James got to Hogwarts. T__T Hopefully it'll make up for the fact that the last chapter sucked (or at least I think it was).
None of these events take place at the same time, though they do occur one after the other as I write them HERE. In the story I jumped back and forth at times.
At numerous times during these events a dark person is watching, commenting.
Geuna~
NOTE!!!: T__T PLEASE keep in mind this is meant to be a key, not give away the plot. And also, as far as grammar is concerned, I really don't feel like bothering with it. If I need to, I'll go back later, but I'm soooo tired…
