Author's Response: I confess, I'm guilty of stealing again, this time from 'young Frankenstein' when Igor thinks the abnormal brain he steals belonged to someone named 'Abby Normal'.

The original challenge at SQ was titled 'Hermione's Inferno', and the tasks were inspired by the various levels of Dante's hell. I've had to change the plot considerably to keep it in canon, since the challenge was created before HBP. A challenge in itself, and possibly the reason for your confusion. I'm still wrestling with the workings of the Afterlife in the Potterverse, and the real meaning of the Veil/Portal.
Author's Response: Indeed, it is a very deliberately Pratchett Death. I've read several of the 'Discworld' series and enjoyed them very much.

I once actually thought that Hermione was perfect (being a lot like her myself), but then I entered this summer writing challenge at Sugar Quill, from which this story stems. The person moderating the challenge contended that Hermione had a great many faults and that she needed to be taken down a peg for them. The tasks were designed to make her see her own flaws. Merlin, did that open my eyes!
Author's Response: Hmmm...suggestive...do you mean as in smut? If so, I must say, I'm unaware of them--in this story at least. Mwa-ha-ha-ha!
