I'm sure the two would have come to love one another anyway.

No, not really. As you see Kitty makes mistakes, isn't adored by everyone, and doesn't have perfect features.

Hmm, that's true. *waves white flag*

A surrender! Yes.

Kitty seriously is underrated.

Right, so uh, what do we discuss now?

Kitty: Will she ever forgive her parents?

The ending was really sad, and in the books Nate does like Kitty and show feelings for her and vice vers, they faught like a married couple. And in the end if Nate hadn't died then yes there would be some hook between them. But here is one question could stroud make another book and have Nate comeback from the dead as a person and not as a dead creature. And could Nate not truly be dead, but he also could be a goner, but I don't really think so.

Oh God, please no! That's something Paolini would do...Nat dying was a very good ending.

Demon, if you read some of the questions to Stroud, I do believe that he has said that Nat is dead, and not coming back.

I kind of disagree with you. He only liked th idea of who he thought Kitty was.

Their strong personalities made them fight.

Ianna look in Ptolemy's Gate on page 478, and look closely.

What's on page 478? I haven't found any... er things like that...

Yes, I've read that part many a time.

However, if you would look on many pages in the beginning of the book, like during the council meeting when he was doodling, you'd see he had fallen in love with the idea of Kitty.

He didn't know her well enough to love the person. Not really.

I think Kitty liked Nat by the end of the trilogy.

Anyway, do you think Kitty returned Nathaniel's feelings in the end of the book. I think she did since she said, "So much for promises" when she was at that place. Too bad the pairing can't work... unless it's fanfiction.

I think Kitty liked Nat too. Remember Bart telling us about strong characters getting attracted? Kitty was without doubt strong & Nat too turned out to be. When Nat apologised to Kitty, saved her life, trusted her with his true name, joined her in rescuing the nation, refused to be a part of the magicians madness, released the imp and agreed to let Bart inside him well.............. I expect someone as nice as Kitty to forgive & forget. And they were of the same age nearly remember (and Nat gave her the amulet & endangered himself.......... I suppose Kitty guessed this). So yes, I do feel Kitty began liking Nat but unlike Nat controlled her emotions better.

That would be a bad thing?!

Yes, because Ginny would then eat Harry's corpse to absorb his power and take over the world.

Power? What power? All he has is the mighty and fickle of plot, which allows him to regularly trounce people of more emotional maturity than him.

Oh, come now. He's good at DADA, at least XD

He is good at magic, but just doesn't apply himself.

Come on, he got a pretty thorough beatdown from Snape in the last book. He should really consider using magic more often though; he might get more experienced with it.

Good question. I'd like to think that she visited them and Jakob after Ptolemy's Gate.

Speaking of parents -- do you think that Mandrake could ever forgive his parents for selling him into what is essentially indentured servitude?

That's because Snape used non-verbal magic and is about twenty/fifteen or so years older than him.
