You know what? I'm going to interpret the prophesey.
The Master of Time and Death is Harry, obviously. He's freed young Harry from his destiny of killing Voldemort, but has in the process opened up thousands of new possibilities that old Harry tries to counter. We have already seen that this Harry easily has the potential to be a Dark Wizard (I still can't get over how wrong using the Basilisk is) and, over time as he gets cockier (more so than he already is), Harry becomes the new Dark Lord without even realising it. His manipulation of you Harry's life causes adverse effects, so the 'cruel whims of Time' part means that young Harry will still have the fate of battling and killing a Dark Lord; old Harry.
And then young Harry will come back as the spanish bloke and a new(er) timeline will be created ad infinatum.
Is this fic not finished then? Because I do sort of want to see how much more DW can suck. Update soon!
If this author had any brains, he'd make Future!Harry the new Dark Lord on account of him realizing that he's stared into the abyss too long.
As it is, I want to burn him. He purposefully let a dangerous creature out and put hundreds of students and teachers in harm's way just because he hates Dumbledore.
Fuck it, I'm not waiting till the end of thbis FAIL.
It's a very small comfort, but he seemed to have let it in during the summer so there at least weren't students. It's repeated in the second part of this chapter, when some Ministry dude implies that a basilisk attack would signify a new Dark Lord, but somehow the fact that it was sent while the school was mostly empty made it better. XP
I keep fixating on the lesser wrongs, but the sporking is enough to covermost of what I could possibly say about this bilge anyway.
I will, however, add one little fact: Harry told the basilisk to attack with its head... and it's teeth. Which are venomous.
Fatally so. More than fatally so; not only was Harry going to die from the poison during his fight with the baslisk and was only just saved by Fawke's tears, it's also one of the only objects they had that was capable of destroying a horcrux. Ron and Hermione ran off to gather its teeth for the express purpose of using them (and the venom) to destroy horcuxes. The Sword of Gryffindor was only capable of destroying the locket because it was infused with basilisk venom.
So Harry basically told the basilisk not to kill with its eyes, which would have been pretty quick and painless for anybody it might have gotten, but was totally okay with the agonizing, blood-boiling death by basilisk venom.
Don't forget that the basilisk doesn't shoot eyebeams or anything. In order to not kill with its eyes, it would have to wander around the castle blind. I think that someone as powerful as Dumbledore would dispatch a blind basilisk before it could hurt anyone.
The basilisk leaving to feed bugs me for four reasons: 1) While a normal snake would need to eat a lot to maintain that size, the basilisk is not normal. It's born from a chicken's egg hatched by a toad. The crowing of a rooster will kill it. The books make it quite clear that it can (and has) lie dormant for centuries. But, no, that defies an explanation that can be used to make Dumbledore look bad! 2) If a giant snake was periodically hunting in the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid would know about it. 3) If the entrance is a rune-carved tree, how is it that nobody's ever found it? 4) Of course the entrance wound up being very near to the acromantulas. Because if I was so instinctively terrified of a creature that I wasn't even willing to speak its name, I'd build my lair on the entrance to its hunting grounds. Did Disobedience even read the books?
Two more reasons: 5) We've heard the basilisk speak. It's not some passive creature, waiting for orders. It is violent and blood thirsty. "Let me kill. Let me shred." This brings us to... 6) If the basilisk could get out of the Chamber of Secrets, it would have left a long time ago. Even this passive mockery of a monster laments it's long, damp life, so why the hell does it keep coming back?
"Pygmy Cerberi" I think is suppose to be what fluffy is. Basically DW thinks that there is a pack of three headed dogs running around in the Forbidden Forest, when in SS/PS Hagrid says he got Fluffy off of a Greecian fellow, because he's a Cerberus. Basically DW is a moron.
Aside from the fact that Harry no longer has Parseltongue, like you said, isn't the Basilisk only suppose to obey the Heir of Slytherin. Then again, with the way ANGSTYEntitilment!Whorry is acting...
