Deathly Hallows uberwank: Chapter 23, Malfoy Manor

[fera_festiva]

It sort of happened again. This one's got Harry/Draco in it. Bad, melodramatic, unbeta'd Harry/Draco. It's not as porny as the handjob of chapter 19, but it's there. Also, I fully expect to have failed the assignment I should have been doing instead of writing it.

AAARRGGHH I just wrote a big old reply and then my computer ate it. ANGER.

Ahem.

I'm way jealous you get to go to Terminus! I've never been to a con (well, except comics cons with people I know who write comics, but they have mainly involved sitting behind a desk and occasionally posing for photos with a dude dressed as Boba Fett).

On to comments:

Jo actually said that he was dead in the Memerson interview from 2005

I think that's where I had the idea from. I swing between thinking Jo outright lied to throw us off the scent, and thinking she dreamed up the hallows subplot after writing HBP and had to pull a swift bit of retconning. *Shrug*

"Harry was rapidly becoming obsessed with Draco Malfoy." / "I made a grave mistake marrying Tonks."

Haha, I love both of those. I also love that line from OotP: "Lupin, who was staying in the house with Sirius..." :D

Fair enough on the cruciatus thing... I dunno, I think I was in a particularly critical mood when I wrote that bit (and I'd forgotten about the knife thing too). Although in some ways I so feel like the unforgivables as a whole get used too much, to the point that their impact is diminished - I remember being more shocked to hear about Neville's parents than I was about Hermione in this chapter.

I must admit I now feel bad about all the Star Wars clips if you haven't seen the movies, because there are a couple of future ones in particular that will spoil the ending for you. :D

Now I'm feeling guilty because this comment was more discussive than complimentary

No need - discussion is good! I'm just pleased that you're finding this enjoyable - and that it provokes discussion. :)

Don't worry about spoiling it for me. Star Wars just really isn't my thing.

And I hate it when LJ eats comments! I was reccing literally 20 fics to someone looking for angsty stuff on Accio R/S Fics - and LJ ate it!

Haha, in that case I won't worry about it. (SPOILER: Jar Jar Binks is really annoying.) :P
