Beyond the Prophecy by the_bartender713
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 287]
Summary: Oh, I'll tell you a tale of a sainted wizard, of his friends and their adventures in store. And I'll tell you a tale of an evil wizard, of the decimated world torn apart by his war.
But be warned, I say, think not far ahead. For where you might see gain, loss may be instead.
Heavily run the theories and conclusions dreamt out of whims, but know that what you hope lies most likely not within.
She's written the words, and told the lot of trials, tribulations, and soul-eating rot.
But I won't tell you how, and I won't tell you when. Just know your illustrious Bartender has done it yet again
What lies Beyond the Prophecy and Harry Potter's life- who knows? Only the exalted one, Merlin, and the one who writes.
That was AWESOME!!! The innovation, the humour, the way everything fits snugly into the logically compliant plot, the redemption (and slight archetypal twist) of the Drawling Wonder, and the delicious Philosophy of Mortality... what can I say (other than what I've just typed, that is)? You're a brilliant writer, and no mistake.

Summary: Ms A Cadwallader wishes to improve herself and apply for a better job. Unfortunately, despite her impeccable qualifications, she is thwarted by a certain Junior Under Secretary for the Minister of Magic, who has let it be known that basic spelling errors can never be over looked.
This story, written in the style of a series of letters, first appeared in The Battle of the Genres over at the SBBC forum.
I am not JK Rowling. She would probably have been more amusing.
This story is for Minna because it was her birthday and she likes this pairing.
Thank you Natalie for liking the drabble and encouraging me to expand.

This was great! It's the first epistolary humour fic I've read in... er, eternity.
Also, I don't mean to sound heretic here, but was that partly inspired by Stroud? The "boiling your head" part and one or two of Percy's urbane replies?

Author's Response: Um, I don't know what you mean by Stroud unless you mean the place in the UK, so no, it wasn't inspired by him/her or it. :). 'Boiling your head' is a phrase I think I picked up from Enid Blyton a few years ago, or something like that. Thank you very much for the review and I'm glad you liked the story. ~Carole~
