“The locket tried to choke me when I got near the sword, remember? The bit of soul inside could sense it. Hermione, could you make me float around the room? We could see if any of the cups react to the sword.”

But Hermione shook her head. “Wingardium Leviosa isn’t meant for very heavy objects, Harry. I doubt I could keep you up for very long.”

“What about this?” said Ron, waving his wand at Harry. “Levicorpus!”

Harry was instantly hoisted into the air by an ankle. He felt the blood rushing to his scalp, and his glasses nearly slid off his nose. “Thanks for the warning!” he shouted down to Ron in cross voice.

“Sorry,” said Ron, suppressing a grin. “But I did owe you.”


*snerk* ...aaaahahahaha! That's great.

“Harry, yer gonna think I’m crazy but I can’t help thinkin’ maybe Snape’s still on our side after all.”

“WHAT!” Harry shouted. The Welsh Green looked up curiously and Harry quickly lowered his voice. “You can’t be serious. He killed Dumbledore. I saw it.”

“I know, I know,” said Hagrid, holding up one hand in supplication. “But after the fall term began I just started thinkin’…Dumbledore always said that the two people he trusted most were me an’ Snape. And that I had to trust Snape no matter what. No matter what.” Hagrid emphasized. “Yeh know Dumbledore had that black hand all year long, maybe…maybe he was dyin’ already and told Snape ter finish the job. Yeh know, ter keep up his cover.”

Harry bristled at this suggestion – or perhaps it was the knowledge that he was at best third on Dumbledore’s trustworthy list.


*blink* *shifty eyes* *nose crinkle* AHAHAHAHA! Pure Harry. ;)

So, basically, [livejournal.com profile] va32h continues to win.

Hermione set the cauldron down and unpacked it. She knelt on the ground and flipped through the little potions book until she found the correct page. If Hermione was at all nervous or unsure, she hid it well. Her tone and actions were as businesslike and brisk as if she were back in Slughorn’s dungeon, mixing up a class assignment.

This is them mixing up an Annihilation Potion as a way to destroy the Horcrux-cup since their sword appears to be fresh out of basilisk venom. My first thought?

This is no time to be following a standard published recipe! Where's a certain copy of Advanced Potion-Making when you need it??

...yeah, well, I got problems. ;)

And the perfectly serviceable Mobilicorpus was forgotten for the sake of a laugh. Oh logic! Oh continuity! Oh woe!

Don't we only see that used on unconscious people?

That said, I've seen some falterings and eyebrow-raisings as time goes on, but I still think it beats the published work. :P

Oh, that was fanfic? Redux implied some kind of 'digest' to me. I try my hardest to forget canon. Sorry.
But I really don't see why it should make a difference for Mobilicorpus if a person is conscious or not.

Wow, you really have forgotten canon, haven't you. :)

Maybe I misused the word? *looks it up* Okay, a little. "brought back" or "returned" whereas I was saying "redone". Well whatever. Now I know.

Goodness, yes, how embarrassing. ~blushes ~
I really need to reread it to get my facts straigth.
I don't normally critisize canon things in fanfics unless the author asks for input.
At least you got a good laugh out of it. :D

Where are those again? I found the site with the first few, read up to 19 or so, and then lost the link. I loooose.

That's the latest one I think, but you can go backwards from there with the links at the top (it's split between two websites).
