The Time of Destiny

I love that you had Petunia ask Harry to keep in touch occasionally. Keeps your options open. This is going very well.

Thanks!

Healer Pomfrey really dropped the ball in this one. I'm surprised Remus didn't put up more of an argument about the crowd coming in to watch Harry. Especially after 4 turned out to have dark marks! Teaching opportunity be damned - it was too much putting him on display.
At least the one healer apologized for not keeping Harry's privates covered when he turned him. It was pretty silly for Ginny to suddenly be proper & turn her back so Ron could help Harry dress -- she had already seen everything anyway.

Nice to see Harry getting back to his mosaics.

Healer Pomfrey has never dealt with someone with as many threats against him as Harry, and there was a big teaching opportunity here.  There are no colleges in JKR's wizarding world, although I did make a wizarding branch at Oxford later on.  But to become a healer (or any other skilled job), you must be apprenticed and learn from masters.  So those healers who want to learn this stuff have to watch someone else do it - just as they do in our hospitals.  Marcus thought the healers had been screened well enough - he made a mistake.  He won't make it again.  And Ginny was just keeping up appearances and being polite - nothing wrong with that.

Ah. Various forms of closure to accompany the variety of cures, huh? Once again, a magnificent chapter. Unfortunately, I've been putting off my chores, but oh well, I'll finish off a few more chapters in two days (my mom would be really irritated if i got on during thanksgiving...)

I have a little problem with Vernon's turn around, but, for the closure it gave Harry, I am happy with it. Yes, Casye was a muggle and Ginny is a witch and Harry has come to terms with Casey's death, but I still wish she was around and in Harry's life.
