If You Can't See Where It Keeps Its Brain

[jedusaur]

Harry Potter, PG, 2400 words. Hogwarts Founders, slight implication of Salazar/Helga. Title from an Arthur Weasley quote in HP2, about Riddle's diary: "Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain."

Wonderful!

This has this haunting quality that a lot of the best sections of the actual books did.

And the finale of the last book is significantly different in feel, taking this into account. It makes the hat more of its own character, which the books do a tolerable job of already in some ways.

Just in general, that was my reaction -- wow, this fits perfectly.
