alt_fenOh, Severus. I was wondering who was going to infiltrate Hogwarts under polyjuice. When Barty faked his own death, I thought it might be him ... but to parallel canon year four it should be someone working for insurgency, which makes Severus perfect. And allows for both the occlumency lessons of year five AND potentially for Harry to get more information about his parents.
Also, I will be quite busy for the rest of the evening. No need to leave me irritating notes. Hah.
Also also, is anyone else speculating about what all this means with regard to the end of year five? Severus is set up as holding Sirius's canon role in a lot of ways - introduced as one of the prisoners of Azkaban who turns out to be on Harry's side, complaining (albeit one year early) about being trapped in a house, arguably taking risks motivated by love of Harry (although this is only Alice's statement, so far). I'll admit to worrying quite a bit about who in the Order will likely die at the end of year five, and it could very well still be Sirius, who's still fulfilling some of his canon role through fire chats on strategy and letter-writing.
Speculation aside, my hat is off to the players. Y'all are simultaneously crafting a 'verse that hits all the parallel points of canon in ways that are satisfying AND playing out a story that is uniquely and organically it's own. For each major event (and some minor ones!) I have had both a feeling of pleased inevitability and breathless surprise: I cannot foresee what you'll do, but once you've done it I can't think of a better way for it to have happened. Cheers to you.
