Malabolg chapter 1 . 3/23 This is amazing. I’m glad it ended where it did. And I hope someone got current-Harry very good counselling, because he’s going to be at serious risk of self-harm once he has some time to think. |
mumphie chapter 1 . 3/23 Wow...so dark...makes it seem like hope is unattainable. Wish there had been more of a way to rectify things. |
Scabbers1957 chapter 1 . 3/15 This was an awesome, well thought out and written story. :)) |
leonardobluesummers chapter 1 . 2/1 Loved it! I can't recommend this enough. |
ElyseSyrova chapter 1 . 6/24/2023 tbf "Frankenstein" is pretty far into the public domain, and a very famous work of Romantic fiction, so a disclaimer is even less necessary than this observation. Still, a new add to my favorites. Very well done. |
AliceTobor chapter 1 . 5/22/2023 Considering how hopelessly corrupt the British Wizarding World is ... This is a story that while dark has a light at the end. ONE THIRD OF THE BRITISH WIZARDING WORLD IS GONE! He didn't kill the lazy and the cowardly, just the corrupt. As long as they change their future is brighter. My favorite stories are WIZARDS FALL and THE BRITISH REFORMATION. In both the Witless Wacky Wizarding World is DESTROYED. Voldemort was a terrorist and torturer and murderer. Dumbledore USED people! Sacricing them for HIS Greater Good. Harry was a PAWN, never given any real choice in his life. Even his wife was chosen for him! The series is a tale of tragedy and horror. |
Kimberly T chapter 1 . 4/2/2023 So, this just popped into my head, and wouldn't stop pestering me until I wrote it all down: It took a while for the public of Wizarding Britain to understand what had happened, due to the timing of it all. You see, the Hogwarts school year had just ended, and their nation's schoolchildren had just come home a few days ago. And of course everyone was still talking about the tragic ending to the Triwizard Tournament, even though nobody was quite sure what exactly had happened; the only thing they could all agree on was that Cedric Diggory, the actual Hogwarts Champion, had turned up dead instead of triumphant with the winner's trophy in hand, and that the Boy-Who-Lived was involved somehow. When the children come home from Hogwarts, many parents take time off from work so the family can go on holiday together. And even for the people who don't have children, high summer is the usual time for a holiday; a wonderful time to go to the beach, or the mountains, or even to the Continent if one can afford the international portkeys for traveling. So when some people in high society failed to show up for business meetings or fancy teas or Ministry appointments, the people who were disappointed or distressed by their nonappearance sighed or grumbled under their breaths, or owled a terse note rescheduling the meeting, or even sent Howlers if they were truly aggravated- and went right back to discussing the latest theory on what had happened (Had the maze been stocked with a manticore, or a nundu; creatures even deadlier than dragons?! Had the portkey back to the winner's platform interacted disastrously with Hogwarts' famed Anti-Apparition wards, and resulted in a fatal splinching?! Had Harry Potter killed Cedric himself for the sake of the winner's trophy?! The boy's reported cries about You-Know-Who returning simply couldn't be true!) When people at somewhat lower echelons of society didn't show up for work, their coworkers and business partners naturally became busy with taking up the slack, and had no time to do more than owl a note berating them for not giving a reminder about their impending holiday before leaving. When the people on the bottom rungs of the social ladder, suddenly weren't seen where they were usually seen in Knockturn Alley or other dives and dens of wizarding Britain... well, the usual reaction was a sigh of relief before moving on. Then Delores Umbridge and Corban Yaxley, the Minister's Senior Undersecretary and a Senior Auror, both failed to show up for work one day. That was extremely odd behavior for both of them, and Madam Bones promptly sent two Aurors to Yaxley's home of record... and at Minister Fudge's insistence, sighed and sent to Aurors to Umbridge's home as well. The Aurors came back to the DMLE's Apparition Point minutes later, pale and wide-eyed, the youngsters among them so shaken it was a miracle they hadn't Splinched themselves. Corban Yaxley had been found in his kitchen with blood splashed all over the tiles, nearly bisected by an overpowered cutting curse. Delores Umbridge's headless body was lying in her pink-bedecked front parlour with her torso a mass of gore, as though someone had reached into her chest and ripped her heart out. Just minutes after receiving the grim news from Madam Bones, a badly shaken Cornelius Fudge returned to his office, and found a large pink box on his desk with the Sugarplums Sweet Shoppe logo on it. Being fond of cake and quite in need of some cheering up, he promptly opened the box -and screamed shrilly before running for his office's private Floo and disappearing moments later in a burst of green flames. It was left to other Ministry employees, drawn by the screaming, to report that the cake box contained Delores Umbridge's severed head, with both eyes and her tongue pierced by Blood Quills, and a message in blood (and in Delores' own handwriting) written inside the box's top flap: LEAVE NOW. LEAVE EVERYTHING. OR YOU'RE NEXT. Cornelius Fudge was never seen in Wizarding Britain again. His wife later said he hadn't even come home to pack before leaving for parts unknown. Madam Bones called for an emergency meeting of the Wizengamot, to appoint an interim Minister for Magic... And when the Wizengamot convened at the appointed hour and saw how many seats weren't filled, over a third of their members missing, the general alarm turned to panic. Chief Warlock Albus Dumbledore did not show panic, though he looked as though he'd aged several decades overnight as he determined that, though they did not have enough members present for a quorum to vote on anything, his authority allowed him to task the DMLE for a special investigation into their missing members. With warrants in hand, Auror teams went from house to house, sending the grim reports back: The Malfoy family, all found dead in their home, died at least five days before. The Notts, likewise all dead. The Flint family, the Crabbes, the Macnairs... In other homes like the Parkinsons, one or two family members were found brutally murdered and the rest incapacitated by Draught of Living Death, with helpful little signs stating such placed atop their imperceptibly-moving chests. While the Aurors searched Wizengamot members' homes, Albus Dumbledore searched the records of the Department of Magical Transportation for the Apparition Coordinates of a place he said he'd never personally been to before, a town called Cokeworth. After leaving the Ministry with the coordinates, half an hour later the Chief Warlock was seen at the emergency entrance of St. Mungo's. He was accompanying Hogwarts' Potions Master, whose arms now ended at the wrists in bandaged stumps, and who needed not one but two Calming Draughts poured down his throat before he stopped screaming "POTTER!" When the surviving family members had been revived with Wiggenweld Potion, none of them could explain what had happened; they'd evidently been Obliviated of the last few hours before they had been put into the Living Death state. And with no explanation for what had happened and why so many had been slaughtered, the survivors as well as many other families emptied their Gringotts vaults and fled Britain for other countries, before the killer could strike again. By the time all the Missing Person reports had been compiled and their homes all searched, by the time the DMLE released the official tally of seventy-seven murdered in less than seven days, over three times that number had fled the country. The Wizengamot could no longer convene, after losing the majority to either death or emigration. The Ministry did its best to limp along despite all the lost personnel, managing to keep essentials like the Floo Network running by borrowing people such as Percy Weasley from other departments; Arthur Weasley found himself the new Head of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. Nonessential departments like Magical Games and Sports were shut down entirely. Hogwarts was barely able to open its doors again in September, with so many students having fled with their families; for the first time in all its long history, the number of muggleborn students outnumbered the purebloods. As the years and decades passed, some of the families who had fled came straggling back to Britain. But they found the wizarding society they'd known had forever changed, after that one terrible week. |
reberebecca chapter 1 . 3/27/2023 Una storia pazzesca! Harry adulto che pulisce in pratica la merenda di Albus. Il finale un po’ amaro. Speravo che Albus facesse più ammenda, non sono sicura che abbia capito la gravità di quello che ha fatto e quello che sta facendo. La mancanza di un adulto responsabile nella vita di Harry è sempre mancato ed è la cosa che più mi disturba nella storia originale |
