Reviews For This is Halloween
Beautifully done, I love the way you captured things through Voldemort’s eyes.
Great story! I loved it! Author's Response: Thank you ^^ Severus is the actual owner of the Eldar wand but Voldemort, as we see from the books, has no real interest in the Hallows; he only wanted the Elder wand as a weapon to defeat Harry's wand (and, knowing Voldemort's thought processes, if his yew wand hadn't been the brother of Harry's, he'd have considered it infinately superior to the Elder wand because the yew wand chose him!) Also, in this story, Severus is amuch more effective weapon than the Elder wand and, with a choice between killing Severus (Voldermort was incapable of considering 'defeating' and 'killing' to be anything other than synonymous) and breaking the Elder wand, he chose to destroy the wand. I think Lily would have tried to influence Harry to be compassionate, honourable and thoughtful but, other than that, I don't see her risking her family by plotting revolution. Voldemort in this story has never died and, thus, is a lot more mentally stable than his resurrected self was in the canon. As a result, he is an effective leader, ruthless but intelligent enough to knows how to find the balance between fear and worship.Thus, life is bearable for the majority, which, in short, means that they are not desperate enough to risk life and limb to overthrow Voldemort. I thought it'd be a suitably spooky Halloween story!
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ Yes, I think that's a very good metaphor for this story, it's like a slow-motion crash (it was great fun to write though!) |
