    Title: Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold
    Author: Ham
    Rating: PG-13
    DLP Category: General Fics

    Status: Oneshot, Complete
    Summary: A young boy, born to one of the world's leading Light sided families was left to grow up in adversity by the Leader of the Light. His life was carefully controlled to forge him into the weapon needed to win the war. But the actions of a few might just have unleashed a darkness that would sweep over the world, bringing in a dark age never seen before.

    Completely pointless yet I enjoyed it.

    Features typical ranting and raving Harry at the Ginny Malfoy wedding.

    Hopefully the author will continue this one-shot into something more since it would be Dark!Harry.

    I thought it would be OK to submit this for review, I was hesitating a bit since it has no plot and is mainly rant driven, but threw caution to the wind and thought maybe you guys would like it.

    Bad Points would be...Auror Harry, He actually LOVED the Weaslet and friends, leaving them unscathed once he leaves.

    *sigh*

    If only things were different.

    3.75-4/5 Malfoy getting locked up for life, Ginny forced into a life alone, and Punching overprotective Weasley.

    I'm...unimpressed. It's typical, and unoriginal. Good grammar and the like, but nothing special--nothing bad, but nothing great. 3/5

    This little oneshot is alright, but nothing special. It's mostly Harry ranting at his friends about their 'betrayal' after he breaks up a wedding. At the very end he promises 'to make Voldemort look like a choir boy,' but sadly we don't get to see him go on a rampage.

    3/5

    Good grammar, well-written, and I liked some aspects of Harry at first. However, it ends up into Harry ranting about Dumbledore, and everything else. How he was played by the "true master" and such. I think the author could of finished it better by just ending it with Harry knocking out Bill and arresting Malfoy. However, since the author didn't, I have to give this story a 3/5. It's nothing special, but it's not horrible either.

    I liked the concept more than the writing itself. The oneshot sounded more like the beginning of a story that goes from Harry being betrayed to Harry emulating Voldemort, and I've not yet seen one of those I really liked. That being said I think this would make a better long story than a oneshot.

    I liked it. I don't think I've ever seen a fic where Auror Harry arrests people. Harry fucking up Redeemed Draco Malfoy's Wedding and putting him in Azkaban where he deserves to be is a win to me. I also like how he made Shacklebolt shut up when he tried to write of what Harry said. I can see the Weasleys and Hermione totally capable of this. 3/5 because we don't get to see Harry 'make Voldemort look like a choir boy' .

    If becoming a dark lord thingy is on Harry's agenda, I don't see how annnouncing it loud would help his case any.

    This doesn't even belong in the Recycling bin.

    We are all waiting for the exalted cleansing of the Library. We hope and pray to the g(m)ods for that day to be soon.

    We just need enough people that will vote according to quality of this story, once rating will drop enough it will get moved to the trash bin (it happened recently with really bad slash fic that somehow was in the rubbish bin).
