>>5942995Agusta maybe would be alright. It is her son and daughter-in-law Rowena are using. And I have a strong suspicion she already knows something isn't right, given she knew them before they ended up in St. Mungo's. I had a really bad thought about her calling them out as imposters in the middle of the ward and pulling a wand on them.
I also had a fun thought about meeting Gildroy again and it turning out he had pieced everything back together years ago and recovered from mind wiping himself, was perfectly sane, and knew the place was sitting on Avalon His hint was a big part of why I figured out where Avalon was and he was a Ravenclaw in the end.
He only stayed in the psyche ward all this time to protect the place from dark forces.
Then he rips his paintbrush's end off, possibly with paint still on it, to reveal one of his fans had sneaked a wand in for him years ago and his painting was just covert wand practice, so he actually was no longer incompetent. Then he joins us on our adventure to try and redeem himself for being a dick, pre-Obliviation.
I am on some painkillers right now and they kinda give me fever-dreams like that.Regardless of my Gilderoy shit, I think Neville is a no go. To close to Potter.
As to him already knowing the world is at stake, yeah, but he is not so completely sure we ourselves will end it, personally. If he ever came to the point he thought it was a zero sum game of torturing us and our friends or mind raping us or even a Final Solution to the Hallaster problem vs. apocalypse, I know which option he is picking.
I will now go back to writing about Elliot tenderly and lovingly fucking Arty in the ass so I can get this fanfic of a fanfic done.
