Well, I have done a lot of thinking about this story...I had noticed that they were all men, with families. It seems like they all had the same number of children, alth I h I could be wrong. This morning, I was sure it was Albus. I mean-it could be some sort of propesy thing and maybe there was something going on with them that we didn\'t know about (i.e. special powers, knowledge, etc) But now I don\'t know...

Maybe it\'s Ron. He obviously loves children, and I don\'t remember him saying why he never settled down (again, he could have said and I don\'t remember. I could be wrong) He maybittbitter about having to take a desk job after his injury. He may feel he has to punish other people for having what he wants-a perfect life.

That\'s my guess right now....it\'ll be different tomorrow.

Petunia is starting to sound likely to me. Where is she by the way? She hasn\'t been around for a bit. Up to no good with a knife perhaps? Otherwise, I have no idea at all. Still a great story he whe way.

*pounces on the author* good lord, this is intense. and you forgot jeffery dahmer. he had more than fingers and toes in his freezer. ;) oh, now that would be entertaining for snape to find out about... sex slave by pouring acid into someone\'s head, dear? anyway, i\'m rambling. at the risk of sounding like a complete and utter teeny-bopper, when is the next chapter out? you have me hanging on so tightly, and your skill, your plot devices, your characterizations of dumbledore and shacklebolt not what would be the norm... i adore this fic. :)

Methinks...methinks the killer is Fionn Fortescue. Mentioned once. Obscure enoughiendiendly type. Trustworthy father figure. Would be trusted by the victims. Has access to food-> hemlock connection. Skilled with knives, probably.
Can you tell your story\'s driving me nutty? ^_~

Absolutely entrancing. I adore all of your work but this story just draws you in. I love you!

Neville, Luna, Ron, Draco, Ginny, Dumbledore, Shacklebolt, and Cuthrell --- those seem tothe the one only names you\'ve dropped other than some Hogwarts teachers, Arthur, and our heroes, beyond victims, their families and a supporting cast like the receptionist. Leaving the latter for now, you\'ve said in the AN\'s that the clues are there. Given that and Severus and Hermoine\'s revelations in the last chapter, I\'d rule out Shacklebolt and Cuthrell for now --- no info beyond their roles in the story that I\'ve pick up and not likely to know all the vics. Luna broke Neville\'s heart by breaking up with him shortly before their wedding and he\'s gone through several jobs since it seems (possible link to all the vics). Herbology was his best subject so he would know about hemlock\'s properties. He and Ginny may be seeing each other or not, so is he a man with a grudge against happily married family men because its been denied to him? What about Ginny? She may have been carrying a torch for one of the vics, Harry, and Neville may have been stringing her along. Her career was ended by an injury that she could re eve even if she is now making as much marketing a team. Would they all have known her? Luna? Not enough info. Ron? All can of possible clues there --- too many memories that, unlike Snape, have made him resent those he protects rather than desire to kill himself, an injury that has limited his field work and thus his career, a lifetime of feeling the \"squire\" to the \"prince\", feeling he couldn\'t love the girl for fear of loosing her, feelings of never having loved anybody, an apartment that still looks and feels like a student dorm room, and the resentments/anger he has for Dumbledore. Hummm? Dumbeldore? Still feel he\'s a manipulative old SOB that has hurt/used/mistreated a lot of people, but I don\'t think he\'s the killer. Draco --- a few brief references, but nothing to work with as a clue other than all would have likely known him given his family\'s prominence. More clues PLEASE!!! Loving this story.

....My heart aches and a lonely numbness pains my presence as if of hemlock i had drunk....

This is gripping!

PERFECT!!! hmmm. i wonder if Brittan has any famous Criminal Profilers like John Douglas (my hero, my idol, the person i want to grow up to be! (only female, thank you very much))...That would be interesting. Loving the story\'s progression and want more, as always... and Ron\'s fairy story was both touching and sad and so much more. and what is going on with Ron and Harry\'s wife? to much time together or actually feelings starting to bloom?
thank so much for posting!

An excellent update. I find myself looking fod tod to the notification emails! I really feel for Ron. Particularly poignant was his bedtime story to young Al and and the subsequent dialogue with Francoise.

Loving the way that clever Hermione continues to sleuth her way across this story, and I have to say I missed Severus in this chapter! You have him well characterised, and his past illustrated so believably.

Thanks for posting this.
