Oooph. Ouch, very harsh. And very effective. Nicely done.

I was going for the "ooph." *big grin*

Thanks!

Argh...this actually made me ill! Poor Harry! How could the world be so corrupt? And yet... :( It's recognizable, you know? If Percy ever gains power (and loses his mind just a bit more) I could see something like this happening. :(

Great idea!

Physical reaction! Score!

^_^ Thanks, by the way.

I liked it, but I have a question.

"...sentenced to die by the Dementor's Kiss."

I'm 98% sure that when the give you the Kiss, you don't die. (I'm not exactly sure, though.)

Does this mean he gets the Kiss and then they kill him?

Otherwise, good job.

That's pretty much what I meant. It was just basically word paddage--it's so hard to reach 100, right?

Thanks!

[music_rocks_667]

Oh! I see your reasoning now (and it makes sense.) Thanks for clearing that up! :)

And they don’t need him any more.

Yeah, that's what I love most about good depressing post-Voldemort fics--the suggestion that Harry's outlived his purpose. So fun. I'm glad I got that reaction, thanks so much!

Ouch. So hurtful and just OUCH. How can you hurt me so! Well done.

[nextian]

Ha! Thanks. I'm glad this emotional impact happened.
