I love the way you write Barty Crouch Jr. Was it just me, or did you say that he was in Hufflepuff? I've never seen that in a story before. :) And I love him worry about people mistaking his name for his father's, his desire to be remembered as himself. That makes everything in GoF so much more ironic.

Thank you!

I did write this with the idea that he was a Hufflepuff. I'm sure it's not my idea alone... though it's one of those things I know I've seen at least once before and can't quite place. I could see him in either houses as well, but there's a fanatical loyalty he develops later on, and really I find it the most intriguing.

I like it. :) The idea that all the Death Eaters had to have been in Slytherin is annoying, I think. I personally think that Bella doesn't belong in Slytherin, and I can't see Barty Crouch Jr. there either.

Definitely agreed. One of the first fics I wrote, actually, is Bellatrix almost being sorted into Hufflepuff.

I hate, hate, hate the way JKR uses her houses in the book.

I'd love to read that. Do you archive fic anywhere?

It annoys me too. Alot of the way she develops characters and plots can be so steryotipical (I can't spell that word...).

It's one of my first fics - possibly from before I had my LJ - and you can find it at FictionAlley here. The style's very different from most of my recent stuff, though... a lot more straightforward and simpler.

I enjoyed this alot, and I do notice the difference in style, but I don't mind it.

Thanks! I tend to get self-conscious about older stuff, and this is one of the first. ;)
