I've just submitted revised versions of a number of chapters of NTLJ to FictionAlley, which incorporate some relatively minor changes needed to make the story HBP-compliant. If you don't want to trudge back and read the chapters, fair enough - I've posted the important changed paragraphs below. I also took the opportunity to make a few minor edits, such as using the correct French for the Haitian version of the Ministry of Magic (thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maple_clef and lareinenoire for the heads-up on that).
Please note Rufus Scrimgeour is now Cassius' great-nephew. This seemed close enough that they'd know each other, not close enough for it to seem inconsistent that no-one in the books has made a remark along the lines of "Did you know Tonks started her career as the partner of a relative of the new Minister?".
ETA: I've submitted a revised revised version of chapter 22 to make Rufus the one in charge of the investigation into the World Cup fiasco rather than Claymore (details below the cut). Since this investigation is largely background to the plot of NTLJ (after all, we already know they didn't actually catch anybody), this was doable without affecting the story that much, and it brings things more into line with the situation we have at the start of HBP where there was an overall Head of the Auror Office, which it had previously been Rufus. (I know, it's one of those things where no-one except the author much cares. But I like to keep things as consistent as possible, dammit.) As it happened, I was able to use most of what was Claymore's dialogue in that scene more or less unchanged for Rufus, except for making it slightly more diplomatic.
