. Incidentally, the way to KO them is apparently to hit a jewel on their heads. I'm not entirely certain, but I suspect that the Suethor stole that from some video game appearance or something. I don't know, I seem to remember that in some stories, they had writing on their foreheads that kept them "alive" and you had to destroy that to deactivate them. Maybe she was going for that. But probably not.
ZeldaQueen: Okay, how large is that snack, that it can back-tail her like that? *pokes at typo*... now I'm getting an image of Holly being KO'ed by a Twix bar. Sorry.
Merely telling them of his downfall and recovery, tone rich and full like the most sinful dessert. So... Voldemort's voice sounds like a midnight meal of chocolate pudding while you're supposed to be on a diet? "Sinful dessert" just sounds ridiculously yummy.
And hit her with a percussion wave that drove the air from her lugs and knocked her back on her arse. Her lugs? *digs around on Wiktionary* Her ear lobes (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lug#English) were filled with air?
Firing back a Disarming charm the same time that Voldemort cast an orange curse she didn't recognise. The two spells intersected midway between them. Please don't tell me the Suethor actually managed to miss the symbolism of that scene. I had a bit of a rant about that ready to go, but you already summed it all up beautifully.
ZeldaQueen: Um, no. [Priori Incantatem] only reversed the deaths. "Every death the wand did, in opposite order" Sorry, but it did cause the wand to spew out all the spells it did in reverse order: "Voldemort's wand began to emit echoing screams of pain[...] a dense, smoky hand flew out of the tip of it and vanished...the ghost of the hand he had made Wormtail...more shouts of pain" (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, American edition, p.665) I took the screams to mean the Cruciatus Curses, as he didn't kill anyone after giving Wormtail his hand. (Makes me wonder where the Imperius stayed...)
JESUS H. FUCKING CHRIST SUETHOR, HOW IN THE NAME OF GOD AND ZEUS DO YOU MANAGE THIS? THIS IS THE FUCKING CLIMAX OF THE NOVEL!!! THE MOTHER-FUCKING CLIMAX! THIS IS THE PART WE ALL WANT TO SEE AND YOU JUST SKIP OVER IT LIKE IT'S NOTHING OH MY GOD I HAVE LOST MY COHERANCY AN MY SPELLING AND GRAMMER OH LOOK AT THE PRETTY LIGHTS My thoughts exactly. Well, almost, if you'd add a bit of YOU REALLY FUCKING THINK YOUR FUCKING ROMANCE DESERVES MORE SCREEN TIME THAN THE GODSDAMNED CLIMAX OF THE STORY GO DIE IN A FIRE HOLLY I'LL TEAR YOUR FUCKING HEART OUT AND MAKE YOU INTO A PIE AND SERVE YOU TO YOUR SUED FRIENDS! ...Really, this was both a Crowning Moment of Awesome and a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming in the story, and because the Suethor has to have her stupid rituals it loses the heartwarming, and because she just fucking summarized it it loses the awesome.
A kaleidoscope of colours. Reds and blues and yellows and purples. But no green. None at all. *sings* "It was red and blue and purple and yellow and scarlet and black and ocher and peach and ruby and olive and violet and fawn and lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve and cream and crimson and silver and rose and azure and lemon and russet and gray and purple and white and pink and orange...and green!" *AK's Holly* *gasps for breath* (Lookie! I know another musical other than Jekyll and Hyde!) (Didn't know the lyrics to this one by heart though - I only saw the German version and they changed some of the colors IIRC)
Eleven. Fragments. For the Reveal. Of the story. I'm starting to. Talk like Shatner.
