I would like to introduce the Sueworts Sorting Tags which is yet another tag I am retroactively adding to entries at this point in time, but I’m still adding a section for the Sueworts Houses. Today’s entry is yet another from Lock Down Fest from which I’ve found both link of the day and stories to feature. Either way, I’ve definitely enjoyed the

I'm not sure what to think of this one.

I tried looking this game up and what I got looked like social media posts which really weren't about telling some deep dark secret but instead about sharing something interesting about oneself, not to mention the hits are miserably low. Would adult Harry and adult Draco be interested in playing a game which I would think girls would be more interested in? Well, one of the first posts was a guy sharing his hidden talent for baseball, but that still seems slightly different then what is going on.

I also looked at the Truth Serums page and find myself stuck regarding which possible effect they were trying to go for. Of course, looking at the examples, I also find myself wondering if this trope is one of those which can be a hit and miss with original fiction as well because some of the examples are perhaps even weirder.

Another dumb thing about the "Malfoys are veelas" idea (aside from all the others) is that it would affect more than just Harry. Furthermore, it can wear off: if it was that strong on Harry, he wouldn't have been crushing on Cho.

And the fact that you need veela powers to get characters together really shows how weak it is.
