Nice! An honest evil overlord can't trust anyone nowadays, can he? :( Gellert sounded way seductive there!

Concrit, if I may:
It really should be: "Aberforth couldn't have cared less" or "could have not cared less"? Heh, maybe I'm not the best person to concrit English grammar, but I'm sure Albus would mention the "not".

I don't get this sentence: "He may not have moved his hand, may not have whispered the words into that shouting, snake Muggle’s ear but he was implicit and he had been essential."

into that shouting, snake Muggle's ear?

Seductive yes but I like to think that Gellert doesn't actually think that he's doing anything wrong. Thus the bit with the ant. He thinks no more of killing Muggles than of flicking an ant on his arm. Not to say you're wrong of course, I like that there can be different readings.

You certainly may. Yes, Albus does seem like the type to not use contractions.

Mmm yes, I think I'm raping grammar there but I also like the idea that Gellert influenced Hitler (GODWIN'S LAW! GODWIN'S LAW!), that's what I'm talking about there. Sorry it was unclear.

Ah, okay! I like to think so too. Albus influenced Gellert, and Gellert influenced Hitler... JKR wasn't too subtle with her comparisons and similarities, it's her fault alone!

It is kind of nice, in a way, that he doesn't appear too much. We have free reign to give him whatever voice we want really. Anyway, I didn't plan on this fic turning out this way, I was going to go for a literal battle like the one between Albus and Voldemort in OotP (been watching my dvd) but then it turned into this thing, complete with eyelash batting Gellert. *shrug*

In other news... is that Tom Felton in your icon? If so, is he high, drunk, or both?

Well that video was sufficiently awkward. Oh Tom.
