3454: Rising from the Ashes - Harry Potter-Black
Don't forget about Tropes Sue Week either. I'm looking for help finding entries for said week. I'm also looking for some feedback on this.
Here is the next day of “Don't Like, Don't Read”.
TITLE: Rising from the Ashes
PERPETRATOR: sessely
SUE-O-METER:
COVER/BANNER ART: The cover has orange and blue flames on a green background. The title is in a cursive font.
SUMMARY:”Lord Harry James Potter-Black, owner of Hogwarts, defeater of Voldemort, most powerful wizard, most admired bachelor - all those titles cannot take away the damage done to his deepest soul by war and betrayal. Can two men help him changing the wizarding world and lead it into a new era? Characters slightly OOC. SLASH - Don't like, don't read. HP/DM/SS. Rating may change later”
FULL NAME: Harry Potter-Black and the entire cast
SPECIES: He's the heir of Gryffindor.
HAIR: n/a
EYES: n/a
MARKINGS: n/a
POSSESSIONS: He owns Hogwarts.
CONNECTION TO CANON: The story starts off with Harry bemoaning the fact “no one ever wished for me to become happy” while he has suicidal thoughts almost every single day. Eventually he gets a letter from Draco praising Harry for being his family's savior. He goes to visit Malfoy manor and every body's talking as if they're from a different time period, and even then the way Harry talks doesn't match the background he should have. I'm grinding my teeth at how horribly out of character everybody happens to be. Ron and Hermione were paid to be his friends.
ORIGIN: We have another story where the writer doesn't bother having any sense of reality. People can own Hogwarts. Harry ends up for some reason adding the Black name to his. If you're a noble you must suddenly act like a noble to keep up appearances when in reality Harry wouldn't give a crap. I think the only point to this story is “three main characters falling in love with each other and all of them are MALE”, and the writer thinks this is hot. My issue with the story has nothing to do with thinking “the idea that a relationship of three people can work”, but with the fact the writer doesn't make said relationship work.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: “Lord Harry James Potter-Black. I don't like the idea of using this signature when writing a former school mate - no matter who it is.” Translation - I am so amazing, but I can be so amazingly humble about it to. Funny think is he's already speaking like a gentleman despite the fact there is no reason for him to act in such a manner.
NOTES: I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of somebody owning Hogwarts. I don't remember this showing up in any of the older entries. When did Suethor's start thinking Hogwarts was a place for a character to own? In order to find an answer I am proposing a scavenger hunt to see who can find the oldest entry where somebody owns Hogwarts, but I'd also like to see if you guys can find a story where a character owns Hogwarts which is older then said entry. By oldest entry I don't mean the date said entry was published here on Pottersues, but the date said story was actually published.
One of the readers says, “I love the way you characterized Harry, he's so completely ooc that I was about to jump down your throat for it until I remembered that that was your intention!” I'm trying to place my finger on what exactly bothers me about this statement. I'm also finding quite a few reviews commenting on the story being badly written. I then looked ath te writer's profile and found out the writer's first language is German.
SAMPLE:
It was a cold January morning when Harry Potter took a walk around the edges of the Forbidden Forest. The air around him was glistening with his crystalizing breath and only the crunching of the frozen snow beneath his feet could be heard. Several months ago, he wasn't sure about ever walking in the snow again and now he sought shelter in it as if it could freeze his thoughts for a moment or two. Yes, he won the war and fought against his archenemy Voldemort, but this doesn't mean that he won the war in his soul. Ever since, Harry wasn't sure about the path he should take into the future and let himself be guided by friends, reporters, the ministry and oh so much more people. Their advises were all different: some wanted the savior to finish school, some that he would take place in auror training and some wanted him to start a political career as he was now head of two noble houses.
'But no one ever wished for me to become happy.' It was exactly this thought which plagued him every second night when he wasn't dreaming of death, fear and deepest sourness.
Two months after the battle of Hogwarts, the black haired young man decided to live at Hogwarts for a short time so that he could help with rebuilding it before he would move in his former godfathers house at Grimmauld Place 12. Fixing the castle, however, took more time than he expected and no ending was to be seen.
At Christmas he got a lot of fan post, threats, presents from admirers and marriage proposals of witches and wizards he had never met before. Harry read every single letter and was surprised that one of the notes attached to a small parcel was from Draco Malfoy.
Hello Harry Potter,
I'm sure that you are astounded to find a gift from a Malfoy. Well, let me tell you that you shouldn't be. You saved my family from a maniac, my mother and me from sentences in Azkaban and you made sure that my father got a fair trial.
I, and also my mother (even if she will not admit it herself) have to deeply thank you for that.
I am sure you read this note before you took a look in the little box and I would be glad if you open it now.
A bit perplexed, Harry really gripped the small parcel and opened it after searching for any jinxes and courses. When he finished he just found another piece of parchment - empty.
'I hate riddles' the Gryffindor thought while reading along Malfoys letter.
You should have found a small parchment in it - tap it with your wand and it will reveal its secret to you.
Potter again did as he was told and in neatly handwriting he found an address and read on.
I would appreciate it if you take the time to visit me at Malfoy Manor so that I can thank you personally.
Sincerely, Lord Draco Malfoy.
The former Gryffindor was lost of words. Draco Malfoy invited him to his manor to thank him. Why couldn't the blonde just come to Hogwarts and talk to him in the castle? Why does he have to go to this dreadful place? Harry did by nothing like the idea of that, but as he was since two days the approved heir to both the Potter and Black line and therefore Lord Potter-Black he had to act nicely and reply as soon as possible. And so he did.
Dear Lord Draco Malfoy,
To say that I was surprised to find your gift would be understated, but I gladly accept your invitation.
Does January 3rd fit with your plans, around noon?
Sincerely, Lord Harry James Potter-Black
