Sree it said that Fred and George gave him a knife right here:

However it never says why the Order didn't send a member or two back with him.

 

He couldn't cast the cruciatus because he didn't know how. Merely attempting to cast it means he had the mindset to want to torture someone.

He didn't kill Pettigrew because he was 13. He was willing to turn him over to the dementors though and some say that is worse than death.

Given the proper tools I'd guess he could kill someone if he needed to.

 

It's been a whole, hard year since the DoM cruciatus failure. He's had time to think about how hesitance and lack of ruthlessness contributed to Sirius's death.
Canon!Harry would have charged in to save Petunia and (because the Dark Lord was the only one who could kill him) successfully killed the assassin. Canon!Harry would have walked away with another scar, no information, a warning (at least) from the Ministry, Petunia dead and the cops messily involved, and ended up at the Burrow, where he would have been pressured into marrying Ginny, another year at Hogwarts, becoming poster boy for the Ministry, and more and more and more slander.
I'm GLAD that Harry is OOC. Canon!Harry is an embarrassing whiney brat.

 

To answer your question Dues ex Machina. The author needed a weapon to threaten the assassin with so she used a knife.

 

I do think that Harry actually *wearing* a knife in a hidden sheathe around the house is not reasonable. When I have a knife, it's a folding Swiss Army knife in my pocket, and not in the building. Doing yardwork, tending outdoor animals, maybe. On the other hand, a house (particularly a basement) tends to be FULL of improvisational weapons. Actually, a screwdriver or a pair of pliers could have been just as scary. I'll have a happy moment thinking about things to do with Bellatrix and a soldering iron.

What I remember most about Book6 has very little to do with Ginny. I remember Katie Bell being cursed so badly she ended up at St.Mungo's for months. I remember Ron coming THAT close to dying of poison. I remember Harry finally coming to understand Potions. Harry spent most of the year trying to get someone to listen to him about Draco's strange behavior. Even his friends, who had always paid attention to him before, made no secret of their disdain for his observations. I remember Snape still being a jerk but actually managing to teach defense.

I remember Dumbledore forcing Harry to keep feeding the old man poison, even though he begged for him to stop.

Ginny? Oh she was in there somewhere.

 

* curls up comfortably *
Being old enough to realize just how unpleasant Slughorn really was. Feeding poison to AD, then discovering that the Entire Adventure was nothing more than a waste of time and resources to gain a hoax. Watching Draco and Snape kill AD. Failing Miserably at stopping anyone in the battle from the top of the Tower all the way to the Gates.
Going back to the Dursleys' with this ... stone sitting on his chest.
It isn't like Harry is all that well-balanced anyway.

 

No, he didn't find the sadistic pleasure if causing pain to another human, which is why it failed. However, he wanted that curse to work. He wanted her to feel pain.

In any case you are just nitpicking.

You apparently haven't even got past the first section, yet find it completely hopeless.

 

Here's a Harry who is ruthless and alert. NICE change from canon. That you don't like a sixteen-year-old being able to fire a gun, or being frightened and angry enough to hurt someone whom he KNOWS, beyond doubt, is a torturer and murderer and coming for Harry...
Well, I feel disdain for canon!Harry, and want him dead. Emo brat is dead, Long Live a winner!character.

 

Isnt that a bit much?

dont ya think thats a bit much? killing her, now thats more like it.

 

Sree if it aint your cup of moonshine then shut the fuck and leave it alone. If folks like it, than aint it their business? Just dont post in the thread anymore. I mean Jesus christ shut the fuck up and move on. You say the same shit everytime. We get the point.


Does Sree hate A Second Chance at Life and its sequel??? Does a bear shit in the woods? Does a one legged duck swim in circles? Does a fat guy love buffets? Does Bill Clinton like blow jobs in the oval office? Does Sree sterotype everyone from the south?


(Hint: That there answer would be yes to all.)

 

One. I wont get off on anything you say.


Two you critiqued it. We get the point. Once again you do the same shit you always do.


Let me see. The next 20 posts by Sree in this thread go by this model.



Example 1: This peice of shit is shit it isnt worth reading.... Etc......

Its deserves to burn in hell. You are retarded fucking cunts for reading this shit.


Example 2: Anyone who disagress gets called a fucking retarded, or a fucking cunt, or some other expression. And then he goes on to say that this site is meant for people to express his opinion.

 

No, we look past its faults because it's fanfiction. It isn't a perfect introduction, it isn't even a good one. However, once you get by that, the story develops rather nicely.

Forgive the abrubt, poor start and try reading the whole thing. You might like it.

 

Well I for one like this piece of fanfiction, and I take it for what it is FANFICTION. When I read a story I don't expect the author to be the next Ernest Hemmingway. Sree, you have every right in the world to critique it, but in my opinion you expect to much. Fanfiction is written by people in their free time, it is not compareable to published works and I don't hold it to the same standards as I do those.

For what it is it is very enjoyable, and I like the fic enough to look past the poorer elements. To agree with Cosmo4 once you get past the admittedly bad intoduction, it is relatively good.

 

And the combat scenes are stellar. All exciting, all different, all creative.
