Hogwarts Exposed Chapter 24 part 1

[szaleniec1000]

Or, the last chapter. The last chapter of the first fic before things get even worse, that is.

First off, I want to tell you that I've been reading your stuff for weeks now and I love it all!

I know couples who have a thing about seeing one another on the night of the right before the wedding. It's never made sense to me now and this story doesn't really make me understand it any more. So pre-wedding nights are to be spend with children running around nude? And wishing that you coul have sex because one night without it is oh so hard?

[zelda_queen]

Neil's idea of dependence on sex is...frightening. On his Yahoo group, he said that one of the main conflicts with Harry being married to Hermione and Luna was how Hermione would handle going without sex every so often while Harry slept with Luna. As doodasnapefreak put it, the entire scenario was obviously winding up for a threesome.

[zenithewonder]

No, Luna doesn't deserve that.:( I like Luna a lot, and I hate what Neil turned her into.

[zelda_queen]

Ditto. Of course Neil would sink his meat claws into poor Luna, though. She's a girl who is able to be functional and successful and happy without clinging to a man, is not defined by romance, and doesn't devote herself to being eye candy. In his sick head, of course he must "correct" that. -_-

You know, considering that that resort thing seems like it gets a lot of tourists (most of whom, as we see in the sequel, speak ENGLISH), I find it very hard to believe that there weren't employees who could speak English so Harry could set things up without that stupid twit hiding that it's a nudist resort.

I also fail to see what's so amusing about hiding that fact from Harry and Hermione. The girls are obnoxious brats so I could see them doing it, but why would Sam go along with that? Gah! -_-

I find it very hard to believe that there weren't employees who could speak English so Harry could set things up without that stupid twit hiding that it's a nudist resort.

Wikipedia has this to say: "Even though Cap d'Agde is in France, most of the service staff speak English."

I also fail to see what's so amusing about hiding that fact from Harry and Hermione.

From an out-of-universe perspective, the way they're clutching the idiot ball is hilarious: it didn't occur to them that the place two naturists went on holiday with their naturist parents might, you know, be a naturist resort? But yes, I don't see why the characters themselves are cool with it.

Because they're idiots and Neil is an incompetent fuckwad who got himself a nice little cult following regarding his pile of literary disgrace.

Reminds me of a certain other someone who wound up getting her books adapted to movies starring Cedric Diggory, but I won't name any names.

Hahahahahaha... this chapter. You're in for a lot of fun, szaleniec. A lot of fun...

[szaleniec1000]

I've only skim-read ahead, and only to confirm some of the things that get revealed. (With the author's love of disembodied voices that aren't identified despite the ostensible POV character knowing full well who they are - Wrong as the Great One and Snape as Ginny's bit on the side, for instance - I can't help wondering if he thought he was writing a screenplay.) I'm going into this chapter perhaps 90% blind.

[sith_droideka]

Heheheheh... hahahahaha... HAHAHHAHAHA! Look at me! Tiny little Wheatley's become- oh, sorry, Portal 2 flashback.

I wasn't talking about the writing. I'm talking about the content. Are you ready for villains monologuing at their enemies' wedding? Obscure Canadian political parties' views being aggressively advertised? A wedding so American that Barrack Obama/Rick Perry/Mitt Romney/George W Bush (whichever American you hate more) could've written a more British wedding than Neil can? Or even more naked tickling surprises and heavy-handed foreshadowing? Because you're in luck!

[szaleniec1000]

Sounds like a perfect storm of fail. A fitting end to this fic, I guess.

[sickbritkid2]

I know Hermione doesn't seem to have many female friends in canon

Actually, aren't the Patil twins, Lavender Brown, and Ginny Hermione's closest friends?

[szaleniec1000]

I believe so. Not that any of them (apart from an OOC Ginny) appear in this fic - they're hanging with Professor McGonagall in the Hogsmeade Retirement Home for Neglected Characters.

[sickbritkid2]

The fact that she isn't is probably this author's idea of a twist.
