New York, Veterans Day, Story

I’ll tell you, now. When I fist discovered his… indiscretions.

It was earlier, much earlier than I’ve ever admitted before. Yes, I know what you will say. To save myself, my job, I lied. Yes. I did. Hogwarts is my home. Was I complicit, then, in his wrongdoings? I think not. I was more of a… secret confidant to a troubled soul. But I’ll tell you

Like Clairvoyant, I almost wanted to feel bad for her. Almost. She was being malicious, even if her insanity made her do it.

From time to time, a story pops up that shows us Snape and Granger's relationship from a third perspective, an outsider (Crookshanks, for instance). But not only have I never seen it from Trelawney's, but I've never seen it from a madwoman's! There's a big thing, or so I gather, in lit, all about the trustworthiness of the narrator. This one is obviously not trustworthy at all, but the story is really disturbing because what you've done is write about Snape and Granger having a very illicit, illegal, immoral (very much, on his side) relationship, what with her being 15 when it began. So now it's down the rabbit hole, you know? Shades and degrees. Who's wrong, who's right? And in this case, only Hermione, I think, is the victim.

You're great at getting into your characters' heads. And once again, you bringin' on the darkness, baby!

Yeah, she is rather pathetic here, but you've nailed it, a decidedly malicious streak, even if she is not altogether aware of this maliciousness.

ie the trustworthiness of the narrator: YES! Certainly she's deranged, seeing things that are not there, believing things which have no foundation in reality.

I love messing with morality!!! The darker, ambiguous shades of life. Really, I probably have too much fun doing so.

Thanks, Lula!!

Pffft... I wouldn't mind being "victimized" in such a manner! Haven't you heard... 15 is the new 30....
