> So, Voldemort took Harry advice, and is testing the treatment he wants to do on himself on somebody else first?

|
|
>> Daaaamn, yea, that must be it.

|
|
> What I don't understand is why Voldemort said out loud what had happened. Seems counterproductive and I'm not 100% convinced it isn't some kind of ploy, but maybe he was just really freaked out.
|
|
|
|
>> **u/Escapement** [+9] *Ankh-Morpork City Watch* (37 minutes later)
|
|
>>
|
|
>> I am guessing either:
|
|
>>
|
|
>> A) This is all still mirror-based wish fulfillment
|
|
>>
|
|
>> or
|
|
>>
|
|
>> B) This is all part of some deeper plan to make Harry think he "won" and has been "successful" and can thus *not rip apart the stars in their heavens*.
|
|
>>
|
|
>> Even if B), the acting seems overly dramatic and the sort of thing I expect Harry to question shortly (hand back all Harry's possible tools, then violently exclaim "No if you kill me now while my back is turned I will really no-foolin' die!"? **Really?**) This inclines me towards A); It wouldn't surprise me if in an hour and a half, Harry will question his perceptions and realize he is mirror-bound specifically because of how implausible what just happened was.
|
|
|
|
>>> **u/Jace_MacLeod** [+1] (an hour later)
|
|
>>>
|
|
>>> The the thing that seems confusing to me about B): If Voldemort believes the prophecy is about Harry, then why wouldn't he just *shoot* him? That seems like a much more reliable method.
|
|
>>>
|
|
>>> Then again, we are talking about a villain whom, upon learning a baby was prophesied to kill him, decided to turn the baby *into a similarly intelligent copy of himself.* Perhaps Dumbledore finally drove poor Riddle insane.
|
|
|
|
>> **u/AmeteurOpinions** [+8] *Finally, everyone was working together.* (an hour later)
|
|
>>
|
|
>> If *I* accidentally overwrote more than a hundred lifetimes of save files, I would be screaming and ranting far worse than Voldemort did here.
|
|
|
|
>>> **u/None** [+5] (an hour later)
|
|
>>>
|
|
>>> Think about it, he was going to unlock both the good and evil endings, and now he gets neither.
|
|
|
|
>>>> **u/kaukamieli** [+2] (2 hours later)
|
|
>>>>
|
|
>>>> He gets the bad ending.
|
|
|
|
>>> **u/None** [+5] (5 hours later)
|
|
>>>
|
|
>>> Really? My reaction upon experiencing extreme depths of frustration, and I am a damned hammy person, is usually to lapse into apparent calm and mutter "oy gevalt" or "oh bugger". Seeing that actually shows, for me, *more* exasperation than screaming and ranting. Screaming and ranting shows I am still *engaged* and have not yet started wanting to just fuck off and *not be there anymore*.
|
|
|
|
>> **u/kaukamieli** [+2] (2 hours later)
|
|
>>
|
|
>> I don't even know what happened. Why did his horcrux fail? Because Harry exists? Because the horcrux would affect Harry too, so their magic got mixed and bad stuff happened?
|
|
>>
|
|
>> edit: Was he trying to make a horcrux for Harry? Hermione?

|
> The power Voldermort knows not. The ability to get stuff from the pouch by drawing letters in air? :)
