Afterword

The book was published on December 10, 2019, and completed on August 26, 2021, taking one year and eight months, with a final word count of 2.71 million words.

Overall, except for the last two months when he didn't get an erection, Yaya was quite "diligent" in the beginning, at least guaranteeing a minimum of 4,000 words.

Sure enough, Yaya is quite persistent, adept at positional warfare and endurance battles. (Smugly, hands on hips!)

Regardless of the outcome, for better or worse, this book has finally come to an end.

Long-term sleep deprivation can leave you physically and mentally exhausted, completely drained. But there's also a sense of emptiness, like a long-time friend leaving.

Just like Nicolas Flamel said:

I don't like the ending...

(Hmm, this seems to be a reason for a eunuch.)

Of course, this sentimentality probably stems from my short writing career, having only published two books. But I've finally evolved from a complete novice into a seasoned flop.

Returning to this book... as I said before, back when I was reading Harry Potter Yaya, almost all the authors had agreed upon something, or rather, were bound by an invisible timeline...

Most of them stop updating in the fifth or sixth grade, becoming unfinished, and very few continue until the seventh grade, let alone finish the book.

I'm happy to announce that Yaya has successfully completed her novel, continuing her record of not abandoning the project.

Of course, finishing the book isn't the most important thing; what's important is being able to tell a complete story, with a beginning and an end, without any plot holes.

I don't think I've collapsed; I've filled in all the gaps that needed to be filled.

Whether it's the Deathly Hallows, the golden coffin, the Four Founders, Gaunt, Death...

I also managed to tell a story that was barely interesting.

At the heart of the story is Death.

Collect Deathly Hallows and you can become the master of Death.

This sentence appeared in the original text.

I don't think any Harry Potter fan would want to enter this magical world or obtain the Deathly Hallows.

Such a powerful and mysterious weapon.

But in the original story, there are only three Deathly Hallows, and each one has an owner. Why can't there be more?

Since there are already several Deathly Hallows, there must be someone who created them... Why can't Death exist?

Thus, the outline of this book was created: a final boss with even greater prestige and strength than Voldemort was born.

That is Death.

And so the story begins.

And then there's the love magic Lily uses, which runs throughout the original story and plays a very important role, but it seems that only Lily has ever used it.

I simply elevated it to a very high level, turning it into what's known as Prehistoric Mysteries.

Whether it's the Death or the power of Prehistoric Mysteries... it should still fit the HP universe quite well.

It doesn't feel as abrupt as adding a Cthulhu or linking it to Marvel...

That's all the storylines; the rest is just patching things up.

Each volume contains approximately 300,000 to 400,000 words, generally keeping pace with Rowling's style.

Of course, there were also many deleted scenes. I even considered adding a national war in the final volume.

William ruled over United Kingdom and Europe, Arya ruled over Egypt and the Middle East, and Little Tom ruled over North America... and then came the World Wizarding War.

Of course, I deleted it. I simply couldn't handle that kind of plot.

Another characteristic of the original novels is their penchant for foreshadowing... J. K. Rowling is truly a master at this.

For example, the eternal goddess Trelawney... her Prophecy have basically all come true, not only when she is in a true Prophecy state, but also when she is sober.

She is the one whose words carry weight.

The Prophecy in this novel is, of course, also like this.

For example, the Prophecy William saw in the bookstore in Book Two.

Ha, you ruthless demon king!

Ah, broken soul!

The self-exile of that year,

Reborn from the gift of Death.

At the time, many readers speculated that it referred to Grindelwald or Voldemort. Looking back now, it actually meant Little Tom.

As a broken soul, he was banished by the Dark Lord, but in the end, through the gift of Death (the Deathly Hallows), his soul was made whole again.

And that one place too.

Trelawney dramatically pulled a tarot card from beneath layers of shawls.

That was a Death Card.

"Fallen trees, imprisoned men," she murmured, "Death, misfortune, drawing ever closer... Dumbledore."

In the original book, Professor Trelawney gave Dumbledore a Tower card Divination.

The card depicts a towering structure that is struck by lightning and destroyed, with people falling from the collapsing tower.

This also corresponds to Dumbledore's death in the original story.

Here, I changed it to Death Card.

The felled tree represents the Elder Wood tree that was cut down by Death, and the imprisoned man is Dumbledore, hinting at becoming the new Death.

Therefore, Dumbledore becoming the Death was foreshadowed several volumes earlier.

In fact, this view has been prevalent abroad for a long time. Rowling has also responded to this.

"Dumbledore is Death? A romantic and beautiful statement, and quite apt."

Of course, these are just some settings that I personally think are good, or maybe I'm just indulging myself.

As a poorly written book, after listing its strengths, its weaknesses are even more numerous.

You don't need to criticize me to know: too many references, too much explicit content, the first volume is terrible, and many parts are similar to the original work.

As I wrote further, I also discovered this problem, which had even inevitably affected the book's performance.

But when I realized that the book was already quite long, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and continue in this style.

You won't learn your lesson until you experience it firsthand. I'll definitely pay special attention next time.

As for side stories, this book will definitely include them.

(Awkward laugh, I said the same thing in my last book.)

There are many untold stories, including the wedding of William and Hermione.

There's also the story of William and Hermione's son Gellert, and the first time he met Harry's son (crossed out) daughter Albus... Just thinking about it is exciting.

(Snape: Lily's eyes? I'm excited too.)

As the Death, Dumbledore manages the Underworld, and Anne visits him.

Thinking about this, I feel like I could write another book. (Just kidding.)

As for the next book, some readers may know that Yaya is nearing graduation and needs to write a thesis.

Sigh, I haven't even started writing yet. I haven't been to the office for the past few days either, I've been busy finishing my novel.

I wonder how my boss will scold me when I get back.

Therefore, the new book will be released a little later, probably in December.

Let me finish writing my thesis, take a good rest for a while, and save some drafts. I'm terrible at writing, there's nothing I can do about it.

My next book will also be a fanfiction, but I haven't decided which one yet.

For example, my previous Naruto novel was so badly written that I felt compelled to write something similar. I also had thoughts on One Piece and Marvel...

Finally, I want to thank my editor, Xiao Yuan-chan. I wrote two books, both of which were with her. Xiao Yuan resigned a few days ago, and I never expected to lose my editor like this.

Thank you, Xiao Yuan, for your help.

Lastly, thank you to all the readers who have supported us.

Your subscriptions are my greatest motivation and my bread and butter. (bows)

The readers who gave tips are especially grateful, particularly one Silver Alliance Master and five Alliance Masters.

The chapters I owe for this book are still owed. (Slides to my knees in the toilet)

The story is finally finished! See you all in the next book!

Love you all Yaya
