Yeah, I'd hate to be Wormtail about that point:  in additional to everything else,McGonagall would be sorely disappointed that someone who had been in her House had become such a knave.

And I'd expect those listening to Wormtail to treat anything he says with a fair amount of skepticism.  (Even if he had been under the influence of Veritaserum or an equivalent, he could only testify as to what he has perceived, which may or may not have any relationship with objective reality.)

Quite aside from any of that, there was something about Wormtail's testimony that didn't seem to be self-consistent to me:  when he forst mentioned the dagger, it  was described as something that was intended  to become a Horcrux (but it was not one).  Yet Wormtail  seemeddistressed that it was  not a Horcrux.  Hmmm....

And so Harry thinks he's figured out a clue, eh?  Cool.  :-)

Well!  That was certainly dramatic.

One mildly odd thing:   I'd think that as the 3 were coming back up from the Chamber, they would of necessity been re-entering Moaning Myrtle's bathroom single-file.  Wouldn't that have given Neville an opportunity to have at least inflicted a Stunning spell on the first of them?

And I suppose that the sealing of the office applied to the Floo network, as well, yes?

 I look  forward to what's next!

(formerly known as "LoneStarVamp")  Your story continues to be awesome and, in my opinion, is one of the very best personal endeavours at creating Book 7 that's been published so far (with the notable exception of JKR, of course- and she IS the boss who will have the final say!)  Nancy

Ah, so you're leaving  the readers rather in the dark about Ginny's part of the Mission, eh?  Hmmm...
