Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past
By Viridian
Good chapter, bit of a bummer at the end.
gunny
I can't figure out why this chapter should be marked "Adults Only". For that matter, a lot of the earlier chapters that don't even have any snogging are marked "Teens+". Why?
EVIL!!
It seems a little weird that everything Harry says comes out "deadpan". Isn't there a better word for it?
The 'interview' with the twins leading to them wanting to know of his heritage was brilliant.
Nice way to have Harry take out Quirrel without as many complexities as before - yet still an eleven year old Harry.
I don't know why I stopped reading this tale. I must have accidently un-clicked the chapter post alert button.
That's an evil cliffie. Ha! I laugh at your cliffie.
I'm so glad you have so many chapters posted.
Oops, this review was supposed to be of Chapter 7. I can't delete the copy I accidentally attached to Chapter 5, but perhaps you can.
Nice chapter! The way Harry dealt with Voldemort this time around echoes the climax of DH -- the word "owned" comes to mind. I loved seeing him talk down to his enemy, calling him "Tom," taunting him with his failure.
It seems to me, though, that keeping his friends out of the action might be a problem later on; Ron and Hermione grew a lot, and the Trio as a unit grew, from the challenges they overcame together. It might be that by protecting them now, Harry is keeping his friends from developing into the highly capable allies he may still need later on, if he's not able to avert Voldemort's resurrection altogether.
The hug and Harry's thoughts about it were intriguing, too. Despite his best intentions, it seems very possible that this more mature, studious, literate version of Harry might prove irresistable to someone like Hermione, leading to a potentially ugly entanglement later in the timeline when Ron loves Hermione, Hermione loves Harry, and Harry loves Ginny.
