So, when is Tate going to bring out his Thorazine dart gun? With the leftovers for him? First shot goes to the portrait, though...

Poor Dr. Tate! The Hogwarts crowd didn't quite drive him mad, so the rest of them showed up to finish the job. Snape is unusually forthcoming, though, Albus must have given him one of the *special* lemon drops.

Poor Sauron, all those pleas for mascara falling on deaf ears.

Aaarghh - this is cruel and unusualy punishment! Admittedly, after what's gone on through the books, most of the surviving characters probably need therapy, but if there aren't any qualified Mind-Healers in the wizarding world, shouldn't someone at least have WARNED Dr Tate about this lot? At least Gilderoy seems to have been gradually making some progress over the years - and as Amnesiac Gilderoy has a certain amount of innocence which the original Gilderoy lacked, I'm glad about that. But he's going to get an equally confused impression of the past being treated either by wizards who believe he really WAS the heroic monster-vanquisher he claimed, or by muggles who have no idea what's going on.

Even if they aren't allowed to bring wands, surely one of the wizards (Severus maybe?) should be capable enough of wandless magic to have proved to Dr Tate that it was true. And you'd think someone (Harry maybe?) might have had enough memory of how confusing finding out about magic for the first time, to try and straighten out some of Dr Tate's misunderstandings.

Severus - don't tell me you get freaked out by a chair that's designed to vibrate? C'mon, you grew up in a muggle town up to the age of eleven, you know perfectly well that muggles use mechanical devices, usually powered by electricity, for most things that wizards would use magic for. But okay - trying to communicate with someone like Dr Tate is probably enough to make anyone too stressed to think calmly.

Ah, so Harry is going to benefit from Dr. Tate's attention as well.

Bring in Molly Weasley and we'll see if there's anything left of Dr. Tate's after she force-feeds him a treacle tart.

that blonde wig joke

omg this is hilarious to no end XD
I couldnt stop laughing because of its absurdity xD
poor lucius, but it seems he is enjoying it much more with snape
I think snape is suffering more in the end - especially with gilderoy thrown into the mix xD
love triangle with those three? sounds fun xD
but in the end doctor tate gave up.. I can understand why xD pixie is a street gang? xD
his notes dont make any sense anyway, might as well give it up.. if someone ever reads his notes they will think hes gone mad in there XD

Thank you for the laugh! This was wild XD

Well thank you Roddy bringing Bella (in portrait form) finally drove Tate scared enough to run for his life. Lol

just love this, I laugh so much, is been a long time but totally worth it. They finally managed to drive the shrink mad.

After all this time my love for Abraxas Malfoy has never wavered. It is awesome to hear about him even if he's not in the scene.

Bellatrix was an awesome touch and I'm not surprised that that cuckoo of a dr ran off during this particular session. She can drive any man crazy with her banshee cry. Haha. Honestly, I think her crush on Abraxas is cute, but I just hope she doesn't get it in her head to try to go into his portrait. Thalia would tear her a new one. That would be one hell of a fight if you ask me.

Now that I think of Snape I think of Kylo Ren and when I think of Lucius, I imagine an older version of Viserys Targaryen. How weird.

Awesome chapter. Just awesome.

Dear, dear, the lunatic (dr) really was in charge of the asylum. (And now the other lunatic gets to be in charge of the other asylum...)

OMG - they finally broke the doctor. I knew if anyone could do, Bella could.

And she needs to stay away from Abraxas - he loves his wife, err his portrait loves her portrait.

Oh dear now Dr. Tate has Harry in his clutches. Well maybe he could use a little mind healing.

So if you told the good Dr you are wizards why not show him magic to prove your point?

Oh Lucius how the mighty have fallen.
