Is this complete yet, and you're just posting it one part at a time? I'm losing internet access shortly, but I'd love to have this story for later reading. Any chance you can email me a complete copy now?
It's complete, but only the first part is beta'ed, and trust me, you do not want to read the un-beta'ed version... But if you're willing to risk it, I'll be happy to post it to you tomorrow (right now I only have that one part with me).
You were an enormous help, love:) And this was fast only because I had already had the first part checked over by fluffyllama (which was probably not a good idea before making all the additions...;)
Wow! That's fascinating. It's almost like he's a video game character...I could so see Snape killing him off over and over again just for the fun of it. Using the extra-gore mode, of course.
I'm wondering about the Vestitus spell, though--you'd think Molly would know it, and then why would Ron have only old ratty stuff to wear? Unless it only lasted a while. Or was newfangled.
*giggles* After that, the image of Sirius in a video game will probably never leave me!:D
And that's so funny that you thought about the clothing spell, because that was the exact same thing that hit me only a few days ago! (although not concerning the Weasley's but poor wizards in general and the unfortunate effect of putting clothing stores out of business) I figured that it must be only temporary, like most things conjured out of thin air, and the risk of the spell wearing off in the middle of the day might be rather unpleasant. So, perhaps it could be used only in case of emergency or something like that?
I've been thinking about that too, but my conclusion was that if you can make sauce come out of your wand and actually eat it, clothes should be no problem...
Seriously, I think things conjured in this fashion must either be temporary (which the sauce contradicts, I believe) or be conjured *from somewhere* - which would neatly avoid the creatio ex nihilo problem, too.
I was just in the middle of writing to you, damn it!;)
But yes, you do have a point. Perhaps it's different with sauce, though, since it does flow right out of the wand, whereas the armchairs Dumbledore conjures really seem to appear from thin air. Still, I can't exactly see the Four Founders piling bricks on top of each other, so it would be quite plausible to think that the whole of Hogwarts was just conjured into existence.
No, I give up. Tired mind can't cope with these things.
I don't know what I love best about this, I really don't. Poor, indignant Sirius with his tendency to die a lot, or masterfully vicious Snape.
Even thought the storyline's a little disturbing, it's very in character for both of them and very very funny.
I loved this in particular: The kitchen floor was where Snape had found him hours later and ordered him to prepare his dinner, which Sirius had naturally refused to do, and which had naturally led to another dying experience.
The idea of Sirius being so stubborn he's willing to die over and over is just perfect.
Absolutely brilliant and I cannot wait for the next part.
You are a wonderful woman. Very very very wonderful.

Oh, and I love stubborn Sirius, almost as much as I love proud Snape, and there will certainly be plenty more of them both;)
And I'm very very very flattered to hear a comment like this from you, of all people. Very:)
