Just from a plausibility perspective, I think this is a more likely outcome than Draco being in real opposition.<br /><br />Then I guess the final third is about them fighting their real opponent.sty.silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07530983588727140446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047698153058029905.post-51561722507013990392017-05-19T22:05:51.232-04:002017-05-19T22:05:51.232-04:00i was suspected both Draco is playing evil ( Harry...i was suspected both Draco is playing evil ( Harry is like good Palpatin now :D), and Narcissa's bomb at the beginning being a fake.<br />and also Bellatrix return, howewer that was epic. <br />It is impossible to write something realy unpredictible, dont worry, its realy nice story :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16482857039779031470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047698153058029905.post-37794660869621763382017-05-11T07:17:04.293-04:002017-05-11T07:17:04.293-04:00AGAINST Monroe's Three Greatest Creations.

No, this was very well done, because Draco really could have gone either way, up or down. Your "50%" number is the exact right number to have, based on like the 2nd to last chapter of MOR, because we don't really know what Draco chooses. I mean Hermione had her suspicions and everything, but this was very complicated intrigue with lots and lots of new actors, and these Three and crap. "Crap. Crap. Mega crap. You deal with it Bones, you don't build a castle out of the crap and live in it." I don't think there was enough actual evidence to get closer to 50% with good reasoning. Except.<br /><br />No, the bloody stupid obvious gaping I'm-such-a-retard REAL hint that was dropped was Ch. 30-33 of MOR. This was such a fundamentally asshole thing of them to do <br />a. Wizarding Britain. <br />b. all of Britain. <br />c. Wizarding Europe. <br />d. All of the World. <br /><br />that really, I am giving myself a T for Dunce that I didn't suspect the lot of them were being this much of a jackass from page one. This chapter felt like Ender's Game crossed with the freaking Baudelaires from Lemony Snicket. <br /><br />this is the last time I trust Hermione Friggin Jean Granger for anything. :P <br /><br />it took the little tykes about 10 hours after Hermione came back from the dead to come up with a pathetically comic book scheme to take over the world and it worked perfectly despite their best efforts to shoot themselves in the foot because if "Lord Voldemort" was more fun than "David Monroe", then in what possible universe does the Wizarding World have a chance for David Monroe's Three Greatest Creations? <br /><br />And the other shoe Drops. Hermione, Draco, and Harry are the mysterious "Three", because duh, of course they are. <br /><br />lol.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495683505881561068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047698153058029905.post-15046517245177046622017-03-22T00:04:47.534-04:002017-03-22T00:04:47.534-04:00I kinda suspected from the very first chapter that...I kinda suspected from the very first chapter that Draco might just be playing the part of villain, since being opposed to Harry for real seemed like too much of a swerving departure from the original, but I admit I never really gave the theory more than 50% weight until the reveal. It didn't feel like there were a lot of hints at the time, and yet I guess there were after all.Brickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205279994171209511noreply@blogger.com
