Aaand apparently the punishment for ruining multiple lives and being responsible for uncountable deaths is ...being shouted at for a couple minutes. Huh. Apparently messing people up is no big deal.

Oh Severus! <sigh> Actually what Lily did pushed him over the edge I guess.

I know your not the original author of these chapters, yet a couple things were notable. First, I think this is the only time I've seen Madam Bones portrayed as a bigot. Second, the actions with Snape are a bit curious for people involved in a war and such. One of them, Moody if no one else, had to at least have considered the possibility of a reprisal, given his position. It just doesn't seem to make sense to take revenge like that, if they weren't willing to finish him off, and they had more than enough justification to do that... For that matter, prophecies are seldom so straightforward. By attempting to force it Dumbledore might have in fact caused it to fail, since it might have been the adversity that he would grow up with living with his family. There were certainly other Death Eaters and such around.

Angst. Too much angst. I assume that Lily could not perform legilimency on Snape (if LV can't, she shouldn't be able to), so she just thrust her thoughts into Snape. Too bad, it would be nice if someone could see the real DE that is Snape before he could do what he just did. What you have presented is s Snape who is getting his revenge, via the insufferable-know-it-all mudblood, but not quite being a complete traitor to Dumbles.

You still have Dumbles alive and now you have Snapey going to Riddle. Poor kid, never seems to get any really good news...now Hermys parents will pay for Snivelles's continued errors in judgement. This looks worse than HPatDH where the Malfoys escaped punishment, Dumbles escaped being exposed as an asshole, and Harry was shown to be a gutless whimp not even fit for Ginny.

I never pictured Amelia that way. It's interesting, because she always seemed like the one decent person in the Ministry. It's a little off putting to me, to be frank. I would expect it from lots of characters, but not from her. I guess it's a little to OOC for me. And I'm also a little confused by Remus. He seemed like a puppy, and I always had the impression the wolfsbane helped, but not by that much. So I don't know, most of this chapter was really good, but some things really threw me for a loop. And I was absolutely baffled by what happened to Snape. I have no idea what occured, which probably has to do with Dobby explaining (he speaks so confusingly). But I do find it realistic that he went after Hermione's parents instead of straight after Harry and his family. Snape knows exactly where to hit Harry where it's going to hurt the most. That part was really believeable and overall the thing was good, I just had those few complaints.

Ok, I don't know what you had to change here.

And I will repeat the comment I made to Liz: Amelia Bones sounds like she's under Imperio or some kind of control. That brief moment she almost got free but Tonks was to immerse in the situation to note.

So we know the real prophecy, and the reason for Harry being sent to the hellhold of a home, so he to suffer in childhood, the fucking ass Dumbledore.

Here I thought that Bones was a nice and kind person, who wasn't a bigots, a shame.

Ouch! it looks like Lily knows how to zing with a sting!

"But when I looked at you as a baby, and when I heard that prophecy..." I thought he heard the prophesy before Harry was born.

I really love vindictive house elves! Heh heh heh heh heh!

I must say I'm surprised at Bones' apparent prejudice. I know you didn't write this, but you may have a problem here. In canon, she's portrayed as being firm but fair and absolutely incorruptible. Her actions toward Tonks, are inexcusable.

Looks like dear Rita is forced to write the truth. Although it doesn't actually say, one would assume that the phoenix quill would 'resist' writing untruths.

I agree with Lily's assessment of Dudley. If he had been raised by people with a shred of common decency, rather than the bigoted, narrow-minded parents he was given, he would likely have turned out much better. (see: A Better Man' by: Valandar.)

Looks like Molly's got a vicious side to her!

Snape Dies tonight!

Keith, You're gonna have a hard time surpassing this work. Fortunately, your two styles are similar enough that if it can be done, I have full confidence in your doing it. Da

Good work so far.

OMFG. Snape DIDN'T!!! What an evil little bugger!! That is so WRONG!

It's nice that you fixed the timing of the Snape/Dobby incident. Your normal style is considerably different from the story so far. Future chapters should be interesting.

Hmm, that was unexpected. Did Snape plan to tell about the Grangers, to get Moldy to hurt Harry through Hermione - or had he planned to tell about Lily and James, and changed his mind mid-step?

And Amelia Bones... Dang it, I've become so used to reading her as a kind and fair woman, and not at all bigoted. Another thing to fight.

James' gift of a phoenix quill to Rita Skeeter was truly inspired, brilliant to play on her vanity like that.

Thanks - all of you!

Once again Severus Snape proves what a vindictive, immature, twisted, weak, spineless piece of rubbish he is, attacking Hermione's parents when neither she, nor they, have done diddly-squat to him.
I am agog with anticipation to read the next, new, chapter.

Okay. Insert four-letter-word of choice here. And then, UPDATE

Adversity. Well, the Dursleys qualify. OtOH, growing up in poverty also qualifies. The Potters growing up as neighbors to the Weasleys could have fulfilled the letter of the prophecy.

Hmm. Originally, I'd thought that Dobby had hung Snape (like around the neck until dead). On re-reading, the timing doesn't work, but that was my initial impression.

Bones is a bigot? Huh. This is the first fic I've read where that's the case.

Remus's closing line rather scares me. I think I know where that's going (or at least where Liz was going). I'll see where it goes.

Yeah, that pretty well defines Snape's position, doesn't it?

Rebel Goddess posted a comment on Friday 25th May 2007 9:33pm for The Marauders' Playground

Not sure I believe Harry would have forgiven Dumbledore so quickly - the old man was a complete bastard - but I did like the stuff with Snape especially. Molly yelling she would bathe in the Potters' blood was also great.

oh... forgot to mention Amelia. Her reaction seems a bit umbridgeish... but the whole face freezing/eye flashing sounds like the imperious curse... hopefully she will be found out soon.
