16. Chapter 15: Can It Be That I Should Gain? by Connor Landon [ - ] (1681 words)
A big thanks as always goes out to my full-of-ideas beta, lumos_aeternum. Read his fiction, "Harry Potter: The Aftermath". It's good. You WILL like it.
On a side note, this chapter's title comes from an old hymn of the same name. I thought it appropriate.
17. Chapter 16: Many Crowns of Glory by Connor Landon [ - ] (1515 words)
Many thanks, as usual, to my Beta reader, lumos_aeternum, who generously devotes his time to reading over my story and correcting its many errors.
18. Chapter 17: The Call to Arms by Connor Landon [ - ] (4556 words)
As usual, a humungous thank you goes to my Beta reader, lumos_aeternum. He's quite busy with work--and planning vacations--but he generously takes the time to edit each chapter. Without him, my story would definitely be much worse than it is. Many thanks, lumos!
On a side note, this is the next to last chapter, which is already written. As soon as this one is approved, I'll post the Epilogue!
19. Epilogue: The Motions of Normalcy by Connor Landon [ - ] (1983 words)
The very last chapter, lovely readers! It's so incredibly sad; I know exactly how Jo Rowling feels now...
First of all, I want to thank my Beta reader, lumos_aeternum. Without him, my story would definitely not be the one you have read. He has donated countless hours to editing my mistakes, as well as adding in abso-bloody-lutely brilliant ideas of his own. Thank you, lumos!
Another big shout out of thanks to JK Rowling, of course; without her, this story simply would not have been conceived.
And lastly, thank you to all of the readers who have stuck with me, even through the three months of inactivity on my part. I definitely appreciate all of your words of criticism and encouragement!
