Huh, I'd come to the same conclusion - the Author's Note says "Yes, you could consider this a cliffhanger… but not when you think about it." and they'd planned on having Barty snitch 'Harry's wand' for their little trap, so they should have taken some precautions... and that would be the funniest way to handle it, both in-universe and out.What if the wand that Crouch is using is one of Gred's and Forge's joke wands? As in, he shouts the curse and the wand promptly turns into a rubber chicken
IIRC - and it's a fairly vague memory - he's said that any scar Horcrux was crushed by the soul-merger when Harry came back; this may or may not have been phrased in a hypothetical, "If it existed in this universe that's what happened to it." I don't even remember if it was an AN or a forum post.Though I can't for the life of me remember if the Authorlord has said anything about the scar being a Horcrux in this story or if it was 'just' a connection.
Seems legit. Good thinking, everybody!Huh, I'd come to the same conclusion - the Author's Note says "Yes, you could consider this a cliffhanger… but not when you think about it." and they'd planned on having Barty snitch 'Harry's wand' for their little trap, so they should have taken some precautions... and that would be the funniest way to handle it, both in-universe and out.What if the wand that Crouch is using is one of Gred's and Forge's joke wands?

But instead it said this:His eyes cleared and he snarled an incantation an instant before Eric's stupefy reached him: "Avada Kedavra!"
Written that way, it's not necessarily Crouch Jr. who said "Avada Kedavra!" He could have snarled something else, at the same time as someone else cast the killing curse in a much louder voice, making this a case of the Bait-and-Switch Gunshot trope.His eyes cleared and he snarled an incantation an instant before Eric's stupefy reached him.
"Avada Kedavra!"

It didn't do so in canon. At least this version gives Harry's words a little more weight, so we can hope...Speaking of sensitivity, maybe hearing Winky's opinion of Dobby will make Hermione think twice before trying to established an activist organization on behalf of the house elves whose goals and methods the vast majority of the elves themselves would not agree with.
It was the last week in July, the first time Harry tried to ‘flood his body with magic’. Instead of the tingle his godfather described, he felt a searing pain in his chest and almost passed out before he could stop it. He let out a muffled groan that had Sirius by his side in an instant. The pain faded as soon as Harry released his focus, but it came back just as strongly when he tried again.
Sirius looked like someone had just cancelled his Christmas. To his credit, he continued working with the others while coaching Harry on trying to get past this latest stumbling block. When nothing else worked, Mrs. Weasley bundled him off to St. Mungos and Healer Stanhope. Harry was concerned enough to go without protest. He figured that Healer-Patient confidentiality aside, he wasn’t outside the law unless he actually succeeded and then failed to register.
The healer presented him with mixed news. On the one hand, his peculiar fused core was growing together and slowly stabilizing. On the other, he couldn’t explain why Harry was experiencing such excruciating pain. It was possible that he was simply supplying too much energy to the mix, but his attempts to hold some energy back didn’t seem to make a difference. The pain was just as excruciating as before.
Harry let out a heartfelt sigh. Even if the worst happened, all of his information wouldn’t necessarily be lost forever. The part of his dream about his core exploding was probably just his imagination going into paranoid overdrive. He’d never heard of such a thing happening before, but it did make for a very dramatic ending.
He’d think back, later, on the irony of such a thought.
