Harry Potter/Super Mario X-Over?

Howdy: Do eet nao!

 

...>_>

But then wouldn't that mean the plumbing was cracked as well? So what do the corridors smell like? Now there's a thought...

 

Don't most purebloods have the notion their shit doesn't stink anyway?

Here's where I would normally try to good-naturedly insult Europeans, but it's just too early to make the effort. And let's face it, the U.S. ain't doin' so hot lately, so maybe we oughtta keep the nose-thumbing to a minimum, huh?

 

I would think that a magical toilet would just vanish the waste, but then there'd be no need for any pipes at all.

 

Why didn't Buckbeak peck Malfoy's eyes out and then rape him with his horse cock?

GUESS WE'LL NEVER KNOW!!!Shift+1!!

 

Oh but won't we?

<Insert long list of reasons supported by very vague points in cannon and bullshit pulled from our asses until we get to the point that....there is no real reason...>

 

Another question. Why didn't the Basilisk eat Ginny after Tom has finished mind fucking her?

I think Salazar made a mistake with the Basilisk? Why couldn't he made the basilisk eat people instead of just petrifying them or killing them?

 

Riddle wasn't done draining the Life force out of her yet. It's why Ginnny was still alive. Once Ginny was dead from the drain, then her body could be eaten. However, if her body still had life in it, then Riddle could die if the diary was destroyed.

Many hypotheses here that I don't think have any real backing in Canon.

1) Basilisk was originally a Hogwarts defense system controlled by Slytherin so it was trained to not eat the inhabitants of the castles or people in general. (No evidence from Canon that I know of.)

2) Basilisk was trapped in the Pipes unless released through the Girl's bathroom entrance. (No evidence either.)

3) There were some Roosters that were still alive until around Easter, so the Basilisk couldn't come out to kill anyone until all of the roosters were dead. (Likely, but needs book confirmation)

These are the guesses I've seen bouncing around on other websites.

 

Thats the question of the thread Grapes. As you see we've come to the general conclusion that, it doesn't really matter. JKR wrote it that way and that is the way it happened. We can argue what we thought til we are blue in the face but at the end of the day, no one really knows

 

It'd be pretty funny if you could hear the basilisk's thoughts when it petrifies a person.

"God damn it! Stop getting fucking petrified you bastards! I'm hungry!"

Of course that works on the assumption that it doesn't like eating petrified food.

 

It must have sucked getting it's own weapons turned against it. One's abilities in life are suited to its purpose. Animals have weapons that aid in hunting. What normally instantly kills the opponent now makes them inedible. Super burn.

If Harry at 12 can dislodge a tooth with just his arm, then a petrified body would probably ruin the thing's entire mouth. No dental plan in the CoS.

Although it might be like a shark, simply regrowing teeth.

 

But Snakes just gobble things up and let its stomach do the digesting, fuck chewing.

 

Digesting "among the darkest of magics" might not be healthy, lulz.

 

For the brightest Dark Wizard of his age, Salazar Slytherin is sure an idiot. What kind of Dark Wizard would want to put a deadly weapon underneath the girl's washroom? As previous posters had said, why didn't he make the basilisk just eat people? That would have saved everyone the trouble from reviving the Petrified and i won't have to see Hermione Granger again Or Gin-brat for that matter?

And also didn't Salazar realize that by putting his prized Basilisk under the girl's shithole, it will eventually get covered with shit? Particually Pureblood shit

Cheers,

Historically, in X age there were ony baths and no washrooms as we know them, as ceramic sinks vere invented in 1920s, so the room could have very different use other than washroom.
As for the non killing... Meybe Riddle just didn't want to bring to much attention killing muggleborns (ordering basilisk to bit/eat them would do that), as his main focus changed from purging the school to killing Harry. After all, basilisk bite would be recognized instantly by potion master. Lets not forget HP was written for the even younger audiences back then, and murderous snake doesn't cope at all with ~7 years olds.
