I’m doing a reading of good fan-fiction at a con this weekend, to counter the many “bad fanfic reading” panels. I want to read an interesting passage from HPMoR, but I can’t remember any particular passage myself, and I don’t want to re-read the whole thing this week. Can anyone remember any scene or passage that stuck in their mind as impressive?
It should:
be less than 1000 words
be understandable to someone who’s read Harry Potter, but not HPMoR, with at most one or two sentences of background info (please write those sentences in your reply)
be good at the things that make HPMoR special, e.g.,
a clever “exploit” of Muggle society using magic
gobsmacking you with a new way of looking at something you thought you knew well
convincing you that something that seems evil is the right thing to do
Quirrell or Harry creeping you out, scaring you, or making you question your ethics by being ruthlessly rational
