    If Harry's blood protection was transfered to Voldemort in his rebirth ritual, then as Wormtails flesh was used, did the life debt he owes Harry also get transfered to Voldemort?

    No. JKR said this. That's the only reason. Your logic is sound, but...She said, so, that's it. Plus, it would REALLY remove a LOT of the conflict wouldn't it?

    This is how it'd go.

    "Um yeah... for that life debt you owe me Voldemort... I'm gonna need you to kinda you know, die..."

    I was going to use that in my fic. I still may, despite it being used every so often now, but I may do something like "I gave you your life back, so you owe me" sort of deal if I ever write again

    Mid really shouldn't drop his fic.

    Also, since he has Harry's blood as well as Wormtail's flesh, I think he could just do something nice for himself and consider the debt repaid.

    We're getting off topic =P

    But I'm swamped as hell in what is supposed to be my downtime as is between getting home at around 8pm from work, getting undressed, shower, eating is around 10 pm. I got to be asleep before 12am to wake up at 5am.

    As is the board takes up all my free time, and it's more or less monitored by a pathetic cellphone or snuck time on the work laptop that's constantly wiped or switched out at a moments notice.

    I'll continue it when I can, if I can

    If you stop and think about it does Voldy really owe Harry a life debt.

    Hear me out..

    Back in the 4th book when voldy used that ritual to gain a body back, Harry's blood was forceablely taken. That coupled with the blood of a servant willingly given, the bone of the father, plus what-ever else went into the ritual. Now going by that, How could a life-debt accour?

    The way i see it, is that with Harry's blood taken by force. That would negate any and all possiable life-debt's null and void, seeing as how Harry wasn't a willing particeapent in the ritual.

    Hmm, I'm not sure if you are saying that he does or does not own Harry, but I am going to assume you mean that he does not. And you are right. He owes Harry nothing for the blood, seeing as how Harry didn't give it to him. He stole it. It would be nice of him to repay Harry for that, but I don't think he will. Rude guy.

    your correct on your assumsumption, My question is.
    what of the life-debt that Wormtail owe's Harry could you consider it transfered to Voldy or does it still apply to Mr. Wormy since he was a willing particeapent?
    your thoughts or rather anyone's thoughts on the matter.

    Well, I think the debt goes to the person, rather than who ever happened to use a piece of that person to bring themselves back to life. And also, as I said above, Voldemort has as much of Harry in him (more so if you count the link) as he has Wormtail. If he owes Harry for that, then I think he could pay it to himself. Treat himself to something nice.

    We'll all be looking forward to reading it when you do! Have you considered getting a gmail account (I have a few hundred if you really need a spare) and using it to hack away at? Just email everything to yourself at your regular address when you finish something and allow the 'autosave' function to do its thing... And if someone needs you to switch laptops, just logout and log back in on the other machine...it'll be there for you as long as you have net access!
