There's actually a theory for how that happened, actually. That Lily somehow learned that Voldemort had made horcruxes, and performed the ritual and made it so that she'd be the sacrifice.

Reactions:
- wait, is Boots invisible? Imaginary? Is Dora seeing unheard of creatures like Luna sees?
- Lol considering the theory about Pinky, Brain, and which is insane, *smile* doesn't speak well for Draco to be Brain
- Dolohov no swiping! Swiper of all the times not to swipe (this isn't one of them)!
- "Regulus – or should he say, Regina" Mills? (starts imagining the saucy Mayor, starts to drool,) "Black" huh? wha? oh.
- Why would there be methane gas in Vegas?
- You know there was once a story on this site where - oh, good still here: s/4565988/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Annoying-Snake-Song the Badger song Potter-fied wherein Harry -as the only Parslemouth - gets tortured by the repetitive song (story Id 4565988 in case the link doesn't show)
- hey Ron's smart, I just earlier today watched the SuperCarlinBrothers prove his usefulness to the series (at least more in the books than movie)
- sequenced glove Michael Jackson reference?
- Severus Batman!
- I figured Draco had a hidden creativity from his Potter Stinks/Support Cedric Diggory, Weasley is Our King, and how he figured out how to use and repair the Vanishing Cabinet. But he just died so moot point. Was Flitwick the choir conductor in the PoA movie "something wicked this way comes"? If so then amusing he's the one investigating (other than the obvious reason of being the Charms professor). Short repetitive lyrics / "earworm" songs don't need magic to be stuck, they'll need a muggle psychologist not a Charms prof to undo that "curse". I hope Ron learns of "the song that never ends" and the "song that gets on everybody's nerves" next lol.
- lol what? How does someone even get that message out in one? My POOR BRROOOM boo hoo hoo! Oh and there's a dead body, NOT IT!
- how'd they know her name, labelled clothing?
- is that going to be Shakespeare? Uh oh which one, dont they have tragic endings? No Remus remember Juliet took Draught of Living Death (recently read another fanfic that stated it, think it was called Pulling Pigtails... s/3093983/)
- technically Dora Tonks COULD probably make herself look like a 5 year old Hispanic/Latina (I don't remember which one is supposed to be used and apparently using the wrong one can be considered offensive) girl couldn't she? Marquez, hmm never knew she had a last name. (Watched enough to remember the full map song after all these years but maybe the last name came out in seasons after I outgrew the show like whenever it was they introduced her cousin Diego seasons)
- Voldy got a letter, he just got a letter, he just got a letter, wonder who it's from?
- oh brilliant, I was thinking "a series of markings that each symbolize a sound and when placed together in specific orders form the words of a language"
(These last two points are the moment when I thought it would be a delightful idea to share ALL my thoughts with you.)
- lol he CALLED in DEAD! I think Striker (now I remember him, and his drinking problem cue splash water in his own face) and Amelia Bedelia would get along well together. Oh yeah forgot about Elaine.
- lol I love Narcissa, but wait Draco! Haley Joel Osment's career!
- Dead horse or dead thestral? Hums: "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly..."
- AWW you brought back Harrysaurus Rex!
- exchange student is Buffy! And Cedric/Edward...less cute and more in need of a bath! I can't BELIEVE "Teddy" is short for Edward not Theodore (there goes Alvin and the Wolfman special episode crossover) ew JKR ew.
-oh just that whole scene slays me. Temper tantrum, thre difference between zombie and Inferi (...wonder if there could be a Wolfblood crossover in Harry Potter...wonder if Americianism versus Englandism is also why we (I can't be the only one) assumed Teddy was the diminutive of Theodore with no idea about Edward.
- Blood Contract...but isn't it Harry's blood in him? Will that affect its validity/effectiveness?
- videotape o.O!
- Flerrup!
- IN STORY REFERENCE Oh God more in-story references!
You author are so brilliant it brings a tear to my eye. What about a Beetlejuice (the show) crossover Beetlejuice (Betelguese only on records when Sirius doesn't feel like pissing off family ...so never) James Black. (I have a plot bunny where 2 of Marge's dogs are mysteriously mixed breed mutts so she tries to drown them but Harry was the at the time and tried to save them resulting in them sharing one lifeforce between them so at any one time they are somewhere between being mostly dead to mostly alive. Harry names their Grim forms (becuse that's what the "mutt" looks like) Reaper and Raven and their human forms BJ and either Lydia as in Deetz or later Saiph or Eta Orion or some other female sounding star name in that constellation. Mainly Harry's their hero and Big Brother (more than cousin via the presumption that Marge must be their Mum and Ripper the dog their dad as the reason they can be both human or dog) long before they find out about Sirius Black or Harry becoming the Master of Death.)

I suppose you didn't need to know my every inane thought...

GAH! That is the sound of me finally dying from laugher-induced asphyxiation. Merlin! The number of times I had to stop reading just to catch my breath... I'm surprised I made it through the first 3 squared chapters unharmed. You are truly a delightful and gifted author!

... okay I'll admit I cheated and Googled children's nursery rhymes to know to which one you referred. I was thinking of "the cow jumped over the moon and little dog laughed" but the dog in your story wasn't little. Then I thought of the "come into my parlor said the spider to the fly" bit I couldn't remember how that went.
...Remember how I said was dead, well then now ghost is dead from reading "There was an Old Lady" out loud. I'm telling you so that you know that you have 2 more horcruxes to add to your collection of those created from reading your story! I'm going to be giggling through the afterlife from random lines from that poem. Perhaps I'll join Harry in Dumble-Hunting.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT answer for those questions posed at the top! And I'm not so sure if I or Severus are going to be upset at the Longbottom's fate the next day. (I would be surprised that Neville doesn't have a younger sibling from that interview but I doubt foetuses could survive Crutiatus...even if they haven't yet developed a Central Nervous System ...

Soul Sperm! Bwahaha Ghost-busting Dumbledore and Minerva and ...oh who was the third? Surely not Severus, it would complicate his believability of unending loyalty.

...Savoury Ducks' other name is Vension Faggot? Why would anyone WANT to (knowingly: coughhotdogsaremadefromwhatagaincough) eat the most likely to be toxic parts of a scavenger animal? Mother says pigs would even eat garbage and she was raised on a farm with cows pigs and chickens so she would know.

You ma'am are my favourite evil author

Heh. I vote, "Deus ex Machina". ;)

The revenge on the Dursleys was BRILLIANT.

As Harry said, though, poor Ron. (If the twins did that to all Pureblood males, there might be a significant improvement in Wizarding IQs within a generation or two, but... meh. :P)

What did I just read?

I've never tried hallucinogens, but this was interesting advertising for what it must be like...

Eh heh heh.

So Harry opines that Umbridge is a bitch and Snape is a (genderswapped) one?

Yeah, Deathly Hallows might as well be named Jo Rowling And The Imminent Deadline.

I think Harry's death wouldn't have been so bad, as it would have spared us Cursed Child... :P Joking, joking...

Oh Merlin, the insanity from the Horcrux-making has already set in...

Whoooooops.

*facepalm* Oh dear.
Accidental Horcruxes ahoooooy~

Ahahaha. Oh dear.

What a mess... Does Voldemort have ANY soul left?

I think the diary was supposed to be the strongest horcrux, since it was the first one he made.

You know that was truly an ingenious way to use fidelius. They really hid ron's penis. Brilliant really.

Ah man. Great story. Ron as the smart one. Good times. If harry listened to ron the series would be a whole lot nuttier. Then again it'd be quite the read.
