AFLNO, Chapter 81 "Power the Dark Lord Knows Not" posted
Hello,
I am here to tell you that the new chapter is posted and you can finally find out what happens on the road to Hogsmeade...
However, it's is going to be a hard read, so be warned.
I left this author's note on the chapter, displaying before the new text:
Just as I cautioned people last time that the chapter ended on a terrible cliffhanger, I ( Read more... )
Aspen, such a cliffhanger.... Of course I saw the warning, but I could not resist reading either way, it is your writing after all... Since the last chapter I keep thinking, it is not Severus, definitely not Severus. Everything seemed off, how he acted last chapter, how he spoke, his spells looking so weak in front of Voldemort, his "utter shock, almost betrayed" expression and no dark mark either.... so I do not believe it is him.
I really hope that you do not keep us waiting too long! I need to reread to try to figure out what exactly is going on.... Polyjuice, maybe death eater trying to bring Harry to Voldemort. Or maybe someone who knew watching Severus die would cause his magic to come back fully for sure, but that would either be completely cruel or a crazy sacrifice, so I don't know if I can imagine that is it.
Can't say I am thrilled that this is the way Harry's memories come back.... even though we were all waiting and waiting.
Harry honoring Severus to not kill in revenge, was very true to him, extremely well written and extremely strong of Harry. But Severus actually being gone is just too hard to believe. I will need to try to trace back when he started acting not quite like himself... I wish Harry was more observant, so we had more ideas!
Thank you for the chapter, as hard as it was to read. I imagine it must have been very hard to write and as usual it was extremely well written. I almost wanted to cry even though I did not believe it could be true.
Just to let you know, I had to create a livejournal account to be able to leave a comment, somehow, I cannot leave anonymous comments anymore....
