Review for When Vernon Didn't Miss

When Vernon Didn't Miss

(#) Teresa 2007-11-24

Many thanks for the new chapter Dr T! It was nice seeing Dumbles's world view adjusted by the Brotherhood! I've always wondered why he never investigated what happened with Sirius. As for Snape, well if he can't get his act together it's his own fault when Harry (or the Brotherhood) smacks him down. It looks as though the Brotherhood has investigated Harry's friends and associates very deeply. I can see why Dumbles wanted to check on Sirius before they did, their actions on discovering his innocence might have been a bit more unpleasant for the Ministry. By the way, will Fudge and his pet toad have any direct meetings with the Brotherhood? That would be quite the show! Why, I can see that toad ending up on a lilypad in the Amazon right now....(crossing fingers). It looks as though Harry and his current teacher will work out fairly well. They certainly have come to an understanding, chuckle. The meeting between Dumbles and Grindelwald wald nice. I wonder if it ever occured to Dumbles that if he'd lost the fight he'd have been sitting in that room? Then again, it's possible that if Grindelwald had won the Brotherhood and other groups might have taken a hand in things sooner. By the way, I enjoyed seeing how Jason and the others worried about Harry and Fate! After all, it's safe to say that most of the Brotherhood have had their run ins with it! Thanks again for the story!-

Author's response

The fate of Fudge and his toad will be mentioned. As for fate itself, I don't know about the Bronze-age Greeks, but the Homeric Greeks who came along later had strong ideas about fate and prophecy. The reasons for the Brotherhoods non-actions for over 150 years will be explained later.
