Review for A Dish Best Served Cold

A Dish Best Served Cold

(#) Alorkin 2006-12-13

So far, in these first two chapters, this story is well written and interesting.
Fred would make an excellent detective. He has the instincts needed, as well as the experience, from his pranking.
I can see both Ron and Percy turning on Harry, although I have a really hard time with them being able to sacrifice Ginny like that. Ron tends toward Jealousey, and Percy is a pedantic snob. On the good side, Ron is (usually) loyal as hell, but his pureblood status and his lust for wealth would easily turn him. As for percy, I understand he has a marvellous singing voice. It's going to be really interesting how Harry gets even. I'm hoping Ginny and Hermione both help with his plans of revenge. Throw in the twins and who knows? Mebby the Dark Tosser and Lucy the lickspittle will be caught up in it as well.
CH2. This is pretty realistic, in how Tonks and Reemus get in to see Harry. The three of them begin some intensive group therapy, and together, find some closure.
Tonks's explanation of the penseive is my only sticking point. She says it only makes a copy, and in canon, GoF: US, Dumbles says he uses it to hold excess memories when his head gets too filled up, implying that the penseive really does have the memory.
It's also nice to see a Dumbledore who isn't a dark, evil manipulative old bastard. (OK, He is manipulative here, but he's only as bad as he is in canon.)
I have placed this on my 'alerts' list, and hope to read more soon.
