Nothing special, but quite nice to read anyway. 18k and Complete.

 

I couldn't get past the third chapter. *Vomits at all the Draco/Pansy interaction*

 

yeah...and considering Harry's practically getting sloppy seconds...

if the story was expanded on maybe...

 

Still, Radiohead reference is always a + for me... Might give it a try.

 

*snicker* I looked at the Title where it said '(HP/PP)' and thought, what the hell is Peter Pettigrew doing with Harry? :shock:

Anyway I'm not going to read this cause i don't like Pansy Parkinson.

 

I read most of chapter one and stopped. I hate the characterization of the Slytherins. They made them into some bad asses, but let's face it... in reality, Slytherins are the ones with the sweaters tied around their necks and polished shoes. If there were bad asses in HPverse... it would be Gryffindors. Sad, isn't it?

A Slytherin pureblood girl from a respectable family isn't going to go around fucking anyone except her betrothed. They grow up and learn how to be a perfect wife, and then are sold when they find a suitor. And not many people would want to buy a whore to be their wife, it'd make them look bad if the girl they married fuck all of Hogwarts. Smoking?! Honestly, her parents would disown her and she'd be thrown on the streets for doing such a thing.

Stereo-type view of houses:

Slytherins are the fucking super preppy kids you see in school, wearing designer clothes and all that. Pussy, and backing out when they get into a fight.

Ravenclaws are the geeks, graduate early, high marks, probably harsh parents. I wouldn't be surprised if this is where the asian kids go. Sorry if that sounds racist, but it's mostly true. 'Cept asian parents are pretty lax nowadays.

Hufflepuffs are the meek shy silent kids who turn out to be serial killers when they grow up. Silent until the end, then when your sipping your drink they shoot up the school.

Gryffindors are the 'rebels'. If there's any badasses at Hogwarts, they would belong in Gryffindor. Breaking rules, courage to stand up to teachers. Smokers, drinkers. They'd go here. They still aren't badasses though, or Neville would never get in.

 

Maybe a bit so, but also true. The only two Asian students in canon (Cho Chang and Su Li) are both Ravenclaws. By 'Asian' I more or less am referring to those of Oriental descent, as that's how I think you were meaning to imply the term. The Patils are Asians also, being Indian, and Parvati is a Gryffindor and certainly not the type that I would imagine to be from a strict household. She's way to bubbly and airheaded to have come from such an environment IMO.

 

Yeah, by Asian I mean Oriental. I'm just used to Asian since I've been using it since I was a little kid, and Oriental didn't come up very much back then. xD I think it depends on the parents and how long they've lived there, if they just came to the country then they expect their children to do well, 'cause they left their home country for their children's future. Well, that's the main reason, I think some nationalities are more strict than others though. 'Cause I'm Oriental (Vietnamese) myself and my parents are pretty lax... probably gave up on me. >_>
