ART: A Gallant Act (PG)
Title: A Gallant Act
House Category: Ravenclaw
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Harry Potter, Minerva McGonagall, Amycus Carrow
Artist: cabepfir
Beta Viewer(s): sigune
Rating: PG
(Highlight to View) Warning(s): Canon Violence.
Note: Why does Harry commit an Unforgivable in Ravenclaw common room, of all places? To make the readers aware of its irrationality? To stress out the insensate acts a war can ask of its participants? What is the connection between deed and setting? Consider that this happens just after Minerva says, in reply to Amycus' taunt, that saving the students makes "only the difference between truth and lies, courage and cowardice" (DH p. 477 British edition). Cruciating a Death Eater is an acceptable, gallant (according, again, to Minerva), logical inescapability in a war? What would Rowena Ravenclaw say?
Summary: Harry Cruciates Amycus Carrow in the Ravenclaw common room (from DH 30).
