Homeless and apt to stay that way if he has his way.

What do you mean I should smile more? [Unamused look.] Yeah, we won the war, but a lot of people died. A lot of good people. It doesn't feel right to be light-hearted. Not yet.

Later. [He closes his eyes.] After the funerals and... [A sigh.] a lot of sleep.

...yeah. But I hope most of them [i.e. the minions] are caught or know better than to cause more trouble. They'd have to be idiots to keep fighting.

I'd say I'm lucky I took most of the minions out but I'm only halfway through my slog apparently. Always a new Big Bad to step into the shoes of the last one.

[heir_of_gryffindor]

...Big Bad?

[harrydresden]

Yeah you know, whoever the new guy is who wants to rule the world or whatever. There's always at least one, and most of the time there's about seven or eight with any chance of it. And those guys never want to fill it with ... I dunno, flowers or puppies or anything.

[heir_of_gryffindor]

In my case, there was only one. But his followers were just as violent. [Maybe even more so.] I hope no one tries to follow in his foot-steps. If they do, they have a lot of people to answer to.

[harrydresden]

One that you knew of. In your part of the world specifically. Right? I've read your books man.

[heir_of_gryffindor]

I have books?

And, as far as I know, Voldemort was a world-wide threat.

[harrydresden]

Yep, see that forth wall? We just kick it down around here. I've got books too.

I didn't hear about him doing anything in the states man. And you know Americans, if it doesn't happen to us it ain't news.
