Alternity dealt with themes of education - formal, informal, and via one-to-one tutelage. Which makes terrific sense when you're writing a story that encompasses the span of schooling for its young protagonists. But in Alternity, the scholarship relationships outside of the classroom offered opportunities for characters to work side by side - and often, secretly at cross-purposes.

Through the magic of my phenomenal alt-moderator powers, I have the pleasure of being able to introduce to this thread some very special guests. These individuals forged deep, close connections with each other in either actual or virtual master-apprentice relationships.

We invite you to ask any questions you may have - about their training, about their relationship, about their suspicions, about how their training prepared them for the fights they eventually fought, or lessons they learned that they would pass on - whatever you want to know! Time and space are immaterial here; the individuals who are participating are free to answer in whatever way they see fit, depending on what's called for in your questions.

Please welcome:

Antonin Dolohov
Justin Finch-Fletchley (Noble Arts)

Severus Snape
Hermione Granger (Potions)
and
Draco Malfoy (Occlumency)

Aurora Sinistra
Evelyn Longbottom (Astronomy)

Barty Crouch, Jr.
Hydra Lestrange (Death Eaterdom)

Savitha Desai
Ron Weasley (Auror training)

Poppy Pomfrey
Sally-Anne Perks (Healing Arts)

Of course I feel betrayed, my dear. I was betrayed.

You were the one whose answer on that question I was most sure of.

I suppose it might be better phrased "Is betrayal the only emotion in play, or are there others?"

Sorrow for what we lost: a society built by wizards, for wizards.

I suppose I do agree with Antonin that things had gone awry, somewhere. But given time, we could have fixed things; instead, the whole society was simply discarded like rubbish.

More self-delusion.

I'm a wizard. And I didn't see much sign that you lot had any inclination to 'fix things' for people like me or Hermione. Or that it even occurred to you.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

In fact, a major concern about mudbloods was that your kind would throw in your lot with muggles and use your magic against the rest of wizardkind. Which in fact is precisely what you did, so I'd say our concerns were justified.

And who took everything away from us, giving us no choice but to make common cause with them?

Merlin, you sound just like Amycus Carrow.

Abusing someone and then telling them they deserved it.

Your comment here brings up a question that is perhaps off-topic from the original purpose of the discussion, but is something about which I've always wondered. Feel free not to answer if you don't wish.

For the Death Eaters here: what was it about the Lord Protector that compelled all of you to follow him, and moreover to bring your own followers and students into his service? Professors Dolohov and Desai, it was clear that both of you had the charisma to attract followers yourself...why was it that you pledged yourselves to him instead of leading your own movements, especially since he was not a pureblood?
