Comment on What's Past is Prologue

    So intriguing! I happen to love unreliable narrators but unreliable history has all sorts of possibilities too. The more I see Salazar (because he's barely Harry anymore) the more I wonder what life has made of him. All of them are adults who've lived through very dark times and to be crammed back into smaller, younger lives like that with all that history between them sounds like it will take a lot of work. At the very least, they won't be dumb kids handling the Ministry and Voldemort.

      True. Salazar has a bit of Harry left in him - he's still got that hatred of bad parenting, and an absolute devotion to those he loves - but life has moulded him into a very different person to the boy he was at fifteen. Then again, from what my parents say that's fairly usual for most people. As for 'dumb kids'...I wouldn't say that applies, not entirely. Hermione's handling of the Ministry's propaganda campaign was fairly beautifully done, and the main problem with the Horcrux hunt was lack of information. But, yeah, the Founders are going to react a bit differently, and because of that, so will everyone else. Dumbledore's already got some theories cooking up, and he doesn't much like any of them.
