Emily experienced a pain similar to the brain freeze one gets when eating ice cream too fast. ...congratulations, fic, you almost succeeded in putting me off ice cream.
What exactly did he mean by joined? ...pure evil or not, if he means what I fear he means I feel kind of sorry for Damien.
“Exhale completely,” Slytherin instructed. “Make every effort to remove all the air from your lungs. Once your lungs are empty, breathe in deeply, through your mouth, trying to admit as much fresh air as possible.” Hey, I think we did this in our animal physiology course. I bet Slytherin is trying to take a magical spirogram to make sure he's not possessing someone with asthma.
his own deep penetrating voice I only saw the "deep penetrating" when I skimmed it and thought I'd been right about the joining.
At least this author doesn't feed Percy to Fluffy. Wait, there was a fic that did that?
It happens in ITWATN, here. Robst Harry decides he doesn't like Percy, and just lures him into the Fluffy room. After splitting up Percy/Penelope: I'm in two minds about that, because at least this way she's not as traumatised by his disappearance, but I didn't like it when JKR split them up either.
Ah. I... must've blocked it out again. And that after I got so angry about it... Usually I wish I could unsee badfic plots, but there's something about being a walking repository of badfic references. I... really have to reread ITWATN to remember how much of an infuriating fail it was the next time I need to channel some stress into righteous anger.
It's okay. You will find other uses for Om Nom Hooch. And this is totally stream of consciousness/as I'm reading.
“What year is it?” he questioned. “Has the world become so depraved that it is now common practice to torture naked, defenseless children?” If your endgame villain comes back from the dead, looks at your minor villains, and goes "What the fuck is wrong with your head?" Maybe your endgame villain isn't fucked up enough.
What is he, then, if not a ghost? Potterverse ghosts don't interact with solid objects. I'm now getting this is a World of Darkness game that just went off the fucking rails.
I lost it at the contract line. I'm just imagining Salazar just blazing through the prophecy like it's the iTunes user agreement.
“What is a Hermione?” he finally asked to anyone in general. “This mind seems obsessed with the subject.” Salazar mindmelded with the author instead of Damien.
And I've already explained my doubts about the Pyramid of Death, both as a plot device and an actual device.Okay I have to show my chops as a

It reminds me of that part in My Inner Life where the OC griffin Dalamar is telling Link and Zelda about how his land is embroiled in a war thanks to a dark lord... and then pauses for a sip of tea.
The prophecy says "THE GREATEST DARK LORD", and much as I dislike the interpretation of Slytherin as a Dark Lord, it's clear within the assumptions of this fic that he's not going to be anyone's servant.
Well, I guess there had to be SOME reason for him to off this useless bint.
I know that Slytherin didn't really do too much in canon to suggest he was evil, but he DID hatch a Basilisk and leave it hidden in the school...
"I know that Slytherin didn't really do too much in canon to suggest he was evil, but he DID hatch a Basilisk and leave it hidden in the school..."
Slytherin was kind of an odd duck as far as how clear-cut his villainy was. He did that, but the Sorting Hat also says that he and Gryffindor used to be the best of friends. I always saw it as he was once as idealistic as the other three, but at some point went nutty and paranoid and decided to hide a monster under the school.
Unfortunately, quite a lot of Suethors don't get villains or such with shades of grey. So I've seen people write Slytherin as being completely innocent of all wrongdoing and misunderstood (the same Suethor who wrote Child of Grace) and people like Neil who write him as being worse than Voldemort (which, while he did want to purge Hogwarts of Muggle-borns, there's a bit of a difference between that and Voldemort's "kill all Muggle-borns and halfbreeds and generally anyone else who doesn't agree" policy).

One of the darkest moments of this fanfic instead comes off as unintentional hilarity. I love it! XD
