Chapter Ten: Kreacher's Tale

[minkhollow]

In which Harry has existential angst over a manipulative git, the Trio isn't up to full processing speed on a couple of fronts, and the sporker's inner Regulus brings the sarcasm to the party.

Kind of odd to see one of my head voices played so differently, but no where near as jarring as "WTF? Did it for the ELF? LAME, JRK! LAAAAAAAAME!" when I first read the chapter.

My Regulus would like to know if elves have the ability to apparate out of there on command... why he didn't tell him to get them both out? It makes more sense than being drowned by zombies. Drowned by zombies has to go down as his least favourite way to die.

...You and me both. I didn't even HAVE a Regulus, and it confused ME on the first read-through. Then the next. Then the... OK, I think you know what I mean. XD Seriously! If Dobby can do it, why not Kreacher?!?!?!

[fujinsama]

No freaking kidding! Get the locket out of there and either try to get out of the country long enough to work the thing out or at least get caught on the way for a more dignified death. I'm sure greenlight is rather painless and less humiliating.

[minkhollow]

He wouldn't stop snarking. It was more funny than WTF-worthy, at least. XD
And yeah, 'drowned by zombies' is kind of not a good way to die.

Between him being drowned by zombies, his brother being killed by curtains, and his cousin (whose name is the amazon/warrior star no less) pwned by a housewife... the deaths in Harry Potter in general and the Blacks in particular read like The Gashlycrumb Tinies.

[minkhollow]

...oh God. This is where my brain manages to fill in the brothers:

R is for Regulus, drowned in a lake
S is for Sirius, done in by a drape

It's not perfect, nor would it work for an overall rhyme scheme sort of thing. But it's getting on late and... yeah. XD

[fujinsama]

It wouldn't work for a long thing, especially since they WOULDN'T rhyme if you did the entire thing out properly. However it would make for an awesome icon.

A's for Arianna, who was killed by her brother

Do you want my firstborn?

Would you like a cupcake with your internets?

I am speechless with admiration. Well done.

S is for Sirius and also for Snape--
One killed by a serpent, one slain by a drape.

LOL!

Yay for an X that isn't a cheat. Xenophilius is such a great (and appropriate) name.

See also The Gory, Spoilery Alphabetic Guide to Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince (which I think she ought to have spelled "Gorey").

Oh, that's beautiful! I wish I could draw like that!

E, I and O were the toughies. Absolutely no one was named with an I except for Igor Karkaroff, and I needed him for K.

And thank you!
