Not sure if this has been said before, not enough time to go through 5k replies. As I was rereading this, there was a part where it said that Kira's family had something special/unique in a bad way. Has this ever been addressed again?

I think I remember Calypso hinting at it that Kira's family had a lot of halfbloods but not sure. Have an answer?

 

On the thinking about Sirius when Dobby arrived - Sirius is the secret keeper, and as such, Harry thought that House Elves would need to speak to Sirius to find Nathan.

 

I don't think we've gotten the full story there, though. It feels like there's something we're missing/don't know yet.

 

I'm laying a bet that the last we'll hear from her is after Victor's broken up with her and there's a tragic animagus accident, when she's off practicing by herself...

 

If you think Krum and Kira have problems now, just wait until the second task when Harry is the thing Krum would miss the most if it were gone. Harry might just as easily be Nathan's hostage, but I suspect The Santi will still go with Ron for that.

 

Speaking of the 2nd task, I wonder how Harry will take it if he isn't Nathan's thing missed the most.
Or if Harry would agree to being placed underwater with his safety in the hands of someone else at all.

 

I'd understand if Harry lost his mind and went on a killing spree using vicious dark magic, being passed over for Ron Fucking Weasley would be more than enough to totally ruin someone's life.

 

Dumbledore. Sooner or later Dumbledore will find out that Harry is a little bit... dark. But Dumbledore isn't so "white" as people thing. I really want to see future relationship between HP and Albus.

 

I hope that Santi doesn't do that, and just makes a new tournament format like Jbern did.

 

I hope he doesn't.

Why should Santi focus on a dumb tournament that happens when Harry is 14 years old that he isn't even participating in? I want to see Harry learn some uber magic and continue down the road to super-wizard, whether good or bad.

This is not a 4th year fic.

 

Also, without Harry then the Santi is free to ressurect Voldemort without Harry seeing the twisted mockery of a man he had become, without him seeing that then I doubt he's going to take any warnings about dark magic that are bound to pop up after Skeeter's article very seriously.

It may also add to the whole 'Voldemort let Nathan live.' It makes Voldemort seem like less of an evil asshole when he didn't kill his brother.

 

I never saw how Dumbledore was if not dark, "grey". Where's the evidence in that? He always seemed to be doing things that benefit people. I don't think he's done anything that is close to being bad.

 

Y'all talking about the dark arts like it's cocaine or something.

 

Once you go dark, you never come...bark?

Fuck.

 

One thing I wonder about (now the discussion has gone back to Dumbledore) is the inscribed comment in his book with Gellert:

The wording "pledge our lives" made me wonder when I reread last week if this could be influencing Dumbledore now. Heck, with magic Albus could have made an unbreakable vow with GG, and I wouldn't really consider it that OOC - they were incredible young wizards who both had a strong sense of superioity, and dependent on when it happened, Albus might have had a real reason to actively hate muggles.

Sorry if I'm bringing something back up, I haven't read through this thread in quite a while.

 

He did. Three muggles found out his sister was a witch, attacked her, and drove her insane. His father retaliated against them and went to Azkaban for it. Dumbledore was about to head off with Grindelwald and shared his dream of wizards over muggles when the accident which killed his sister put a stop to it. All canon.

I've always thought of Santi Harry and Nathan as reflecting young Albus and Aberforth a bit. Don't know if Santi ever thought of it that way, I'm still catching up on this thread and the other fics around here.
