Scary little "what if" about how Voldemort ultimately won without firing a single shot.

That was very well done. The style could be tightened up a bit, but the group mentality involved was all too realistic. Scarily so.

5/5

Thanks for pointing this one out, TC.

 

That really made me think. It was beautifully written, and it was so realistic. Voldemort could easily turn it around and make muggleborns the enemy.

I never thought of anything to this extent, but it was really an eye opener. Good find with this one. 5/5 for the concept alone.

 

I like it because it is a sort of snowball effect, the article starting something that cannot be resolved or fixed to a state of peaceful cohabitation.

Its interesting that Hermione is not omnipotent in this story, as many have tried to do with her, she just didn't get the whole story in time.

Not that it could have helped if she had.

 

snowball effect? what do you mean?

 

This story has everything: it's well writen, original and it gave a really realistic atmosphere...

I really didn't like it. I just completely disagree with the plot of the story. And Harry characterization is just wrong.

It could have been awesome, but it need a larger time span for a really realistic development of the "mudblood paranoïa".

Even if I don't like this story, I believe that it's worthy of the library.

 

This story is pure win.

 

This was a little scarily realistic. I can remember friends of mine, die-hard dems, bleeding-heart liberals the lot of them, and after 9/11, suddenly, they're spouting shit like, "I think we should give up some of our rights for better security."

What an about-face that was!

I give this story 5/5, but I was tempted to give it 4/5 for the bizzare flip-flopping between first and third person.
