Very nice wrap up! I like the way that Lavender didn't help Harry make up his mind one way or the other GRIN Also found the idea of Harry telling Rufus to shove the Order of Merlin rather amusing.
I have to agree, I think that announcing the dice-roll of doom was the step that you probably shouldn't have taken. If the characters had died in combat, yeah, it would have been a bummer, but, the way you announced that two characters would die and how you would decide who they were, just stuck in my craw.
Anyway, I've generally enjoyed your stories and I'm looking forward to seeing more of what you write.
