Glad Neville has some backbone and self-esteem in this. Thanks to Hermione, evidently!

I really like Neville.  Very cool.

"Nobody liked the idea of their bones slowly dissolving." Good grief, I should think not! Luna and Ginny are a great deal more devious than I thought. It's wonderful to actually see the changes in Neville. He's made a choice to fight and realizes he can make a difference! Go, Neville! I love that he stood up to Ginny about his decision concerning the coin. They are both growing up fast. I do hope the other Death Eaters and their kinder aren't noticing the protectiveness of Snape. That would be dangerous. He's walking such a fine line!

So it was just a dream? That explains things a little better.

I think Neville is under utilized and I am glad to see his presence here.  This chapter is starting to tie things together and makes me want to know what happens next.  Keep up the great work!

Good chapter. I like the Neville point of view. I'm still trying to tie all three chapters together in my mind. I look forward to seeing how it all connects.

Great Neville-centric chapter.  It good to see maturity and bravery in the young man.  Snape still walks a fine line between protecting his students and being discovered as a traitor.  How stressful.  Nice continuation.

A very good chapter. I feel this one is starting to tie the threads of the story together more strongly. I look forward to next week, especially since I hope the messages between Hermione and Neville will be included at least a bit.

Good job tying the chapters together. It's beginning to make a little more sense.

Good to see Neville standing up for himself! :)

I'm looking forward to the next chapter to hopefully link things between chapter 1 and 2 together a bit more; I thought that 1 took place during DH, so unless there's been a time gap between 1 and 2, I'm a bit confused as to the calm encounter between Severus and Hermione at this point when they should be incommunicado and ostensibly on different sides of a war.I'm intrigued to see what's going on with Hermione; re-living past lives seems to be just the sort of thing she would think is Divination-type nonsense, lol. ;)

Hmmm... so Hermione hasn't yet joined Harry and Ron in their quest to rid the world of Voldemort.  Velly intellesting... Is there a Time Turner in her future, perhaps?

Ohhh, interesting :) I liked the way that you went through all of those people's different experiences with the gun... 

oh wow, i have no idea how that fits into the last chapter, but i love it!

I enjoyed this chapter very much, clever writing and descriptions. Makes the imagery rock. I do have a question about the linking of this to the first chapter. Is the end of the chapter in the current time that the first one took place in? Just making sure I'm understanding right. Is Slughorn smuggling guns somehow? Hehehe GunSlingingSlughorn... ahahahaha

I'm sorry to say I'm a bit confused. The chapter is great and the different jumps in the past are well done. But I can't find a link with the previous chapter unless there is none witch would be fine with me.

Amazing! I always thought they should have trained Harry with a long range rifle to take out Voldie :)

I liked the backwards progression to the origins of gunpowder.  Very poignant, and very cleverly tied together with the repeated "Bang."  Great descriptions!

Excellent beginning, I love this glimpse of what was happening when we were stuck inside that bloody tent with the trio.  It's nice to see Snape asserting himself in every way he can to ensure the student's safety.  Looking forward to more of this story ...

Hello, that's such a cool opening. I love the way Severus checks up on the DA and does his best to stop Slughorn.

A little confused here, but still that was cool.

That was interesting. I didn't really see the connection with the previous chapter - but I guess all will be revealed as the story progresses.

Wow, This is getting complicated. I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Very interesting and original.  I am wondering how you will pull it all together.  an intriguiing chapter, this, with a neat little twist of the elixir of death.  Looking forward to y'all fitting it all together.

whoa, that was deep. More, please.
