I begin to wonder exactly how the story will be wrapped up. I had thought the source of magic would be unlocked or the Deathly Hallows riddle would be tied up. However, I wonder if there are enough chapters to do these things justice. I also wonder whether Eliezer will do anything like was done for Worm where the author invited suggestions for epilogs for specific characters.

There aren't enough chapters, and didn't Harry say that it might take decades of work? In rationalist fiction there's no reason for all plot threads to come together at once.

We've got four chapters. Maybe one chapter dealing with what happens when Hermione wakes up, one for Draco dealing with the death of his father, one for McGonnigal giving a speech as the new Headmistress, and one for Harry considering his plans for the future.

If they work out just like this, what prize should you win?
