(no subject)
I wrote this story for an exchange, and I love it, far more than you're supposed to love your own stuff. In a 'kill your babies' sort of way (as in, you should consider cutting any part of your story that you really love, just in case that comment alarms anyone!).
Anyway, it was written pre-DH, so I'm going to take it on the plane with me today and work out what I need to do to make it DH-compliant, and then hopefully it'll get posted on Monday or Tuesday.
Can anyone tell me once and for all what colour the Death Eaters' masks are? The last time I researched this on the Lexicon, I ended up going with white, but now I'm worried that that was wrong. Should they be black? (I always thought they were black until the fourth film came out.)
ETA: You would think that the best place to look would be the books, wouldn't you? I checked the Quidditch World Cup and the graveyard scenes in GoF, and no colour is specified, as far as I can see. Justed people in masks and hoods (which sounds very Ku Klux Klan-y, which would suggest white). And I think that if a colour had been mentioned in DH I'd have noticed, because I was already wondering about this question. Hmm.
I also have a theoretical question which is under a cut, because it contains a small spoiler for DH. At the time when Lily wrote her letter to Sirius, had the Fidelius charm been cast? Or were they just lying low?
My opinion is that they were lying low/in hiding, but not yet under the Fidelius charm, since Bathilda Bagshot is visiting them. Does that sound reasonable?
