Like it or not, and for good or ill, Shakespeare is the heart of the Canon. Pity he's fallen out of favor (except for token efforts) in the last few years. Personally, I think that if there are still humans around 5000 years from now, Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth and the others will still be produced, and enjoyed.

...and with a Malfoy property swapped for Number 12 Grimmauld Place, everybody's happy!
Neat solution that gives everybody what they want. Those are always the best, when they can be arranged.

I truly love how easy it is to get at least some of the horcruxes, with Dumbles out of the way and out of the loop. Conniving old coot!

Ron pulled a Ron, and died. No tears, only snickers. Ginny...well, cardboard is fragile, no tears again.
I'm confused about the healing vs conception thing...surely Snape could come up with a magical version of the 'morning after' pill?

FYI, in the '70s and 80s the Romanian military produced a line of 7.62 silver-tipped ammo, that can still be had as surplus. Also, until recently, Winchester produced a line of silver-tipped hollow points, that can also be had, although they are getting harder to find.
Just in case, like, you know, we have a werewolf outbreak, or anything.
Of course, there's always the old standby of filling regular hollow points with colloidal silver (or silver nitrate), then sealing them up with wax.

*snicker* I've said for years that the best virgin sacrifices only sacrifice the virginity, not the virgin!
And, I really like the idea of laser-guided spell fire.

I would say 'Poor Albus'...but that would be a lie.
heh heh heh
And, Hermione (kinda) redeems herself.
Makes perfect sense that Demerol would reverse the effects of Cruciatus.

Neville, Lord Black. Interesting.
And, so much good done with a few preemptive strikes!
I'm sure Dumbles will be quite upset that someone is actually doing something proactive and effective.

Heh.
And a saucy gander Miss Lovegood is, too!
Typical Hermione. Are you SURE you can't just let the DE's have her?

Kudos to Luna, who hasn't asked permission. Nice to see that the Archway will pull a Dark Mark, as painful as it may be.

Nice integration of the Great Wood, which (along with the Mound) invokes the Old Ways.
Yeah! Finally, the relationship takes the all-important 'acknowledgement that we're boy/girlfriend' step. Woot!
Ah, the poor snakes! Well, I feel a rescue coming on...
Oh, and the medallions...MUCH better than the over-used Animagus transformation. Very nice.

I thought I recognized the Pellucidar riff, but it's been a century or three since I read those books.
Nice chapter. I like that Luna's being upfront and honest with Harry, which has got to be a pleasant change for him.
