dying curses
Conspiracy Theorist:
Margaret linked her death curse to Thomas and Harry’s blood (to which she was also linked) it was constantly renewing. Cassius curse was one and done, as was Simon’s.
Indeed we can project that Peabody undermined the brute squad to get the info to access Simon’s fortress, Peabody passed them to Cowl who passed them to the Eeb’s and the Red King’s faction. The Eeb’s as usual led from behind and survived that death curse, allowing it to play out against everyone ahead of them.

we have woj answering that we'll see in future books on if it was discharged in Harry dying once. Our interpretation of the curse has less to do with it than his actual intentions. He'd been denied what was basically his closest partner in life, his coconspirator. I think he intended that Harry shouldn't have someone like that, like a fallen, a lover, ECT. And that like Cassius, he should 'die alone', divested of anyone truly close. More to say on death curses later..

Yes, but unless he alienates Maggie, Michael, Butters, Sanya, and if he can figure out a way to help Thomas, he won't be alone... Or three of the above mentioned might be dead because being a Wizard Harry will outlive them... Oh forgot to mention Molly as well, Harry will never be really alone, but as a starborn, his destiny may set him apart from everyone. Still, dying alone is no curse, your loved ones even if they are there can only watch, they cannot go through the process with you. Even if there is a reason you die at the same time as others.... Death is individual to each of us, and yes, I've had loved ones who did chose to die alone..
The_Sibelis:
Unless you spectacularly equate having friends with being married or having a life partner, not really the same.
Dina:
Me too, Mira. And I agree "alone" is relative. My grand=grand-mother died in her sleep, in her bed, with my grand mother in another bed in the same room. Did she die alone? My grandmother and my mother died in hospitals, with several people around actively trying to save them. Did they die alone? The three of them had loving family and friends. In my personal opinion, they died alone in the sense that Mira says, but probably not in the sense Cassius intended. There is a chance that The_Sibelis is right, and Cassius curse was what directed Rudy's bullet to Murphy. On the other hand, I think it would be weird that Cassius was able to do such a powerful curse, that could affect the physical world many years (and many sunsets) after his own demise, without having anything powering it (like Maggie's blood). So...I don't know. And I would like to have an answer about that.
