A great idea...and one I wish I had
thought about before Apparition was
banned and limited only to what's known
as Apparition portals in the fic.
Basically the ministry, under Lord
Voldemort enacted wards across major
areas of Britain to keep the side of
Light from using it as an escape route.
He lost two hundred DE's in the casting
but the wards still stand, especially
around Hogwarts, where this chase takes
place.

I think I finally, with all the input,
have a way to make this work.  Here's
hoping it looks right when I'm done.

So there's a note to all you authors
out there, if you're going to remove
Apparition as an escape
technique...don't need it ten chapters
later or else you've got a right mess.

was five.  I have it all planned,
invitations, cake,  heck I even know
what flatware to use.  I'm twenty-three
now, and I'm watching those dreams go
up in flames.  All because I'm a
lesbian, a second class citizen.
