 UpsideDownQuestions 3/4/09 . chapter 1 Good, believable alternative to the not so very climactic Final Battle. I like this version of it, even if Snape does die anyways.
I only have one teensy problem that Snape probably would have told Harry that the wand was a Horcrux. One doesn't just go around AKing random objects. Hmm...or maybe Snape hoped the curse would "accidently" hit Harry.
Stupid Harry. |
 duj 11/10/08 . chapter 1I can believe this far more than Harry's immediate forgiveness in canon. He's not a particularly loving person, and I'd have expected those memories to make him loathe Snape even more than before.
Poor Hermione. First she lost Ron in your story and now her new love, and has to suffer the pain of blaming her best friend to boot. |
 Emu 11/9/08 . chapter 1Wow. That was wonderful. A nice spin on the real last horcrux. It almost seems irrational now that Voldemort wouldn't make his wand a horcrux. He has it with him all the time, it's incredibly powerful in its own right, it signifies all that magic is, which is something he'd appreciate, and it does make sense that if a horcrux were in an artefact like a wand that it would be able to coerce people into desiring it( seeing as agian, wands are inherently powerful and magic filled thereby, acting as its own safeguard. An how ironic that Harry kilss Snape with Snape's own spell.
I very much enjoyed this refreshingly unique take and would love some follow-up (although, this is delightful as is). I also have to add that the prospect of all the Weasleys save Percy dying out is tragically depressing, yet not unbelievable. Depicting all of their surely heroic deahts would be an interesting set of one-shots in and of themselves. I can imagine Fred and George in particular getting stuck in a hoard of Death Eaters or even Dementers and still cheefully going out in a blaze of silliness and noise.
Good show! |
