Oh I love your interpretation of this, although it HURTS to think about. What have I done? I'm pretty sure you have a close fit to what "really" happens, all my happy ending scenarios aside.

I would love to read that intense fic you are describing...the moment of death, breath by breath. Oh my, I'm already tensed up thinking about it. Especially in a case like this, if it was the Order and we are talking about old friends killing each other. Ow. I hope you write it!
