Review for The Acts Of Betrayal

The Acts Of Betrayal

(#) Cateagle 2007-10-21

Loved the negotiations with the Greengrass family, as usual, being the most directly affected, the ladies are dealing with the important business while the men wrap up the items they have to deal with. Mr. Granger's reaction on the golf course was predictable, and I loved his wife's immediate and direct means of getting his attention. It's good to see things worked out there and the Handfasting ceremony was a very moving one.

Now, a marriage to Daphne and Dumbledore and the youngest Weaseleys are going to find themselves with even more difficulties. I suspect Ginny is going to find that Neville isn't even available as a "fall-back" and is actively pursuing someone else (Susan? Luna? - I like the latter one, there). It should make this seventh year "interesting" as Dumbles tries further manipulations of his "weapon", only to find that he's lost all or almost all means of control.

Author's response

I needed a cause for the 'pureblood' of my treoing (well it isn't a pairing) to be in pursuit of, because after all, she isn't in love with Harry (yet?) It occurred to me that the Purebloods aren't even replacing themselves in each generation... Especially since I've wanted to make the Pureblood males impotent since I read at fic that had Harry tattooing "Pureblood Willies are Weaker" on a former class mates belly...

The Handfasting ceremony came from an Reformed Druidian website, I hacked out the Earth mother stuff and shoe horned in some magic blather...

As soon as word gets out about the potion posse they will be lacking love most intensly...
