22:19 - FIC: The Bloody Feather ~ 03 ~ R

Title: The Bloody Feather
Author: [info]batsutousai
Rating: M/R
Pairings: Tom/Harry, others
Warnings: Clearly AU, OOCness, child abuse, anti-Dumbledore, pro-Hermione and Ron and Ginny
Summary: Even heroes need a saviour, and when an unknown admirer starts sending Harry letters the summer before his sixth year, it's time for Harry to meet his.

Disclaim Her: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by JK Rowling, various publishers including but not limited to Bloomsbury Books, Scholastic Books and Raincoast Books, and Warner Bros., Inc. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended.

A/N: A reviewer inquired as to why Harry wanted to return to the Dursleys after what happened with Vernon – it was on HP Fandom or I would have just PMed back – and the simple answer is that Harry doesn't really trust Voldemort. While Vernon's acting weird, Voldemort's acting even weirder. And Vernon he can threaten into leaving him alone. (Or, well, Harry thinks he can...)

A lot of people also asked why Tonks didn't notice the scar on Harry's eye – and how he adapted so quickly to only being able to see out of one eye. The easy answer to the first is that Tonks wasn't looking. The more in-depth answer is that, after a few weeks under Tom's care and a few potions, the scar isn't as noticeable as it had been.
The second question's answer is that Harry had a lot of time in his room with only his owls, so he had a fair bit of time to adapt to working with only one eye. Aiming and depth perception, specifically. (Alternately, cover one eye and go about your daily business for a bit – it really isn't all that difficult to adapt. Or, well, it isn't for me. *sweatdrop*)

Sorry for the wait. At least it wasn't as bad as last time? *sweatdrop*


Chapter Three )

22:21 - FIC: What It Means.... ~ ...To Learn ~ PG-13

Title: What It Means...
Author: [info]batsutousai
Beta: magickmaker17
Rating: PG-13/T
Pairings: None
Warnings: Harry-in-Azkaban, betrayal, angst, Dark-but-not-Evil!Harry, Slightly-Too-Powerful-To-Be-Realistic!Harry, character death
Summary: At the end of Fifth Year, things go as planned for some and not for others. When Harry is sent to Azkaban for killing his best friends, who will stand at his side and who will turn their back?

A/N: The idea behind some things in this chapter come from another fic I read ages ago in which Harry does something similar. ( I don't remember the name of the fic... Anyone?) I don't mean to copy, but I can't see Harry just sitting around, doing nothing, and he's too noble to just escape. I had to give him something to do. And with his dad giving him suggestions through Luna, well, it was inevitable...

Since this fic was started before DH, I won't really use much from that book. What little I do use from that book is largely from memory – my copy isn't with me, nor, I'm pretty sure, is my sister's – so it may be off a bit. Also, since I've basically changed the ending of OotP, I'm calling creative license for any changes I make.

Chapter Two: ...To Learn )

Next Chapter: ...To Have Friends (April 3rd)


(P.S. - This chapter was SUPPOSED to be updated tomorrow – Thursday – but I'm dead tired and don't care to try and stay up 'til midnight my time or try and remember to post this tomorrow, so you get it early. Anyway, it's Thursday SOMEWHERE. XD)

EDIT: I fail at French. 'Soir' changed to 'Nuit'. Thanks, JacobimVonStyluss (FFN).
