Review for Battered Hearts

Battered Hearts

(#) BJH 2008-03-28

I haven't left you a review in a couple fo chapters because, well because I just didn't know what to say. After your little revelation about "Piss Day" I immediately thought of Victor and then immediately discarded it. You've crafted this story far too well to go with such an easy solution.

Bringing back those brains from canon was really well done, I can only assume it is Sasha's brain causing the troubles but that is just a stab in the dark and probably too easy an answer. Maybe it was Sasha's brain that 'died' after the fight? It's ability to levitate an indicator if it's magical origin. And maybe Igor's taken in it's stead after he was killed by the DEs? He could have become fixated on Hermione during GoF and his inherent sadism released even after his brain was wiiped. I'm assuming that even without memories traces of personality, which in part may be defined by genetics, still comes through. Hence the 'faulty' brains used in the experiment doom them to failure.

Really, really well done. You've crafted a mystery that I am truly enjoying and I can't wait to see where you take it since I can't even begin to guess where you are going with it.

BJH,
Again, you are scarily close to writing my outline for me. Not exactly but close enough. Now I'll have to look at my notes and make a change or three. . .
