It just gets better on the second read! Love the layering of the time periods. Your OC's are good ones, and I like how Harry speaks to them in the end, making everything seem to come full circle. The idea of Harry and Snape sharing a life-force, thus cutting their lives short, was novel, as was Ginny's side-affair with Draco and Al's disappointment.
You used your 'tabloid' prompt really well to frame the story, and I liked the idea that almost three hundred years in the future, they still knew who Harry was. Well done, Dragon! ROAR!!
