Reviews for The Snorkackic Trio |

![]() ![]() ![]() Again, this chapter is packed with all kinds of tidbits. I confess that Aurors must be rather stupid, if they don't see a conflict between their Auror oath and Dumbledore's oath. I can see it, and Amelia certainly can see it. Surely it is illegal for Dumbledore to put Aurors under oath to himself, and as Chief Warlock, he should know this. He needs to lose that job! (BTW, is Shacklebolt an Order member in this story? If so, I'll bet Amelia hits the roof when she finds out.) So ... soulmates, eh? Hmmmm. I'm not used to the speed at which Amelia gets things done. Dumbledore is slower than frozen molasses, unless it is something that benefits him personally. Fudge is incapable of acting at all, unless he gets his marching orders from Lucius; and how fast he moves depends, again, on Lucius and the Toad. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I love it when Amelia gets hold of Dumbledore. She really doesn't like him! (Neither do I, but I don't count.) Having the Grangers there as witnesses to the entire event - as well as Amelia, Shacklebolt, and Dawlish - should change things for Harry. Apparently, too, the Dementors were wearing some sort of medallion, which I hope will identify who sent them to Little Whinging. (Umbridge, anyone?) Harry has also aired some serious grievances against Dumbledore, which will be compounded if the Grangers decide to unload their complaints about how irresponsibly Dumbo has behaved with regard to Hermione's safety. The wards have also collapsed at #4 Privet, making it no longer safe for Harry, and Amelia knows it. She was also talking to Tonks, which makes me wonder if Tonks was "guarding" Harry and is now in trouble. This has been a very full chapter! I hope there is more to come! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I think the Grangers need to pay a visit to the Prime Minister ... who reports to the Queen. I'd love to see Her Majesty the Queen get hold of Dumbo by his long, crooked nose and give it a good twist. Then, I'd love to see her put him in his place. She is never afraid to slap him around when necessary. I wonder ... will Dumbledore leave Hermione alone? I'm starting to wonder if he has used spells on them to make them so compliant about Hermione spending her holidays away from them. Hmmmmm ... |
![]() ![]() ![]() The only thing that remain in my head after reading this particular story is: Crumpled-Horned Snorkacks are REAL?! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Hmm. Good story. I enjoyed it. Very tongue in cheek. Nice story |
![]() ![]() ![]() What about Sirius? Why was he not named? |
![]() ![]() xXxX KUDOS XxXx : ) |
![]() ![]() ![]() Thought I did this already. |
![]() ![]() I agree that Dumbledore's childhood has been a long time ago. The horses and the wooden ships, however, are only part of the picture. Ships with a metal hull were around at that time and had been for quite a couple years. The hull of the largest ship in the world for decades, the Great Eastern, was made of iron and was launched in 1858. There were ships with steam engines around although, admittedly, they had sails in addition to their costly and not yet reliable engines for a long time. But the first ship to cross the Atlantic under steam for at least part of the way was the Savannah in 1819. While horses were a very important part of transportation (instead of being all motorised as the propaganda said, the Wehrmacht used hundreds of thousands horses in their various campaigns in Europe during the Second World War; for example, a single infantry division had about 5,500 horses, about two thirds of them draught horses) the first commercially viable electric tram was launched in Dumbledore's birth year (1881). The first motorcycle ran when Dumbledore was four years old, the first "horseless carriage" a year later, both had an Otto engine, running on petrol or other carbon-based compounds. Sorry to be a nit-picker but zoology and history are my topics... |
![]() ![]() ![]() I have to applaud you in that, in my opinion, you gave Dumbledore one of the few truly appropriate punishments for him. ~ Lack of any information... truly a wickedly harsh for an info-hog, especially as he cannot plot and plan without it. Sadly, you didn't turn him into a muggle, which would be another extremely harsh nightmare come true for the 'wanna-be-Merlin-esque' clown. I do feel gypped from there being a hinted at triad when you shuffled Luna off to Neville. I don't begrudge Nev and Luna as a pairing, I think they work really well together, I just wish you hadn't built up an expectation for the triad ending. Still wondering if you mistakenly added Sprout to Harry's choosing of Thanatos' gift... she, played No part in your story and was not nice or even close to Harry or his friends. I'mma count that as an 'Oopsies' and you really meant Sirius for that gift. Over all it was entertaining and your explanations of your choices at the top of the chapters was a nice touch! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Oookay.. seriously! why give Thanatos' gift to Sprout and Not to Sirius?! Sprout was nasty towards Harry during the Tri-Wiz Tournament... so really WHY? |
![]() ![]() ![]() The nonchalance around his blood is hilarious, and his flippancy about randomly killing voldy |
![]() ![]() ![]() I feel silly. I went back and re read. And it says lock you up “you-know-where”. My brain obviously inserted the wrong subtext meaning. Sorry about that! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Really enjoying this story. Although I am a little confused. Albus was at the Dursley trail and saw the sentencing. Why would he think it possible for Harry to go back to them? Maybe he has lost his mind in this story. Also, I remember you mentioning the glow of H/Hr at the bank but it doesn’t mention anyone seeing and letting H/Hr knowing it happened. I guess that is a minor thing and maybe happened behind the scenes. Overall like the fic though and will continue to read more. |
![]() ![]() ![]() While I don't mind bashing characters, not too much at least, jumping around from one event to the next and doing things while everyone is shocked isn't my cup of tea. |
