However, they eventually had to make their way to back to listen in.
There may be one “to” too much.
We could always just dump somewhere for a critter to find it or something.
Dump what? Is there a word missing?
Rina pulled him to the floor behind one of the sofas as when they spotted Ron there.
I’m not sure about this, but it doesn’t feel right. Maybe one of these words would be enough?

On the one hand, you only have two left. On the other hand, Order of the Phoenix is probably the worst.
I know this fic is incredibly toxic and you want to end it at a point where Rose is legitimately in danger, but it might be nice to have let it run through to the bit where Dumbledore explains everything. I couldn't really tell how far Rose had "read ahead" on this one, if that makes sense. Did she know about the whole "Fake Moody" scheme, or not?
Overall, you're doing a fantastic job, and I really admire your tenacity.
As far as Hogwarts Exposed goes... Doing Rose Potter and Little Miss Mary is bad enough. Doing Rose Potter, Little Miss Mary, AND Hogwarts Exposed is seriously pushing it (and by it, I mean the boundaries of your sanity). You don't have to kill all the Legendary Badfic yourself; save some of it for the rest of us. ;) -
It was the best opportunity to kill her. by

I know there was quite a bit left, but the agents aren't going to risk getting hurt. And no, she somehow had no idea Moody was Crouch Jr. Very strange.
I'm already 85 pages into RPOotP and feel ill— and I've read it several times before in preparation for sporking.
Anyway, yeah, like I said, those are the main reasons I haven't laid claim to Hogwarts Exposed. My sanity's stretched thin enough as it is and O want to leave something for others to take a shot at. :3 -

"Canin took over again for most of the chapter; Dumbledore introduced the heads of the schools and how the Triwizard champions would be selected, yadda yadda yadda. After the feast, Rose ditched her friends to wait for Cedric in the entrance hall."

But yeah, Halcyon's not really featured enough to be given a personality, or anything like that. He was just Horn's great great grandpappy. That was about it.
That, I think, is another problem with Rose Potter. She doesn't really have a personality aside from her ninja and druid powaz and her misplaced, HIGHLY butchered view of what the author thinks feminism is. -

Okay, well - after he was de-bugged, he essentially hung out at the Jedi Temple for a while convalescing, until Luke decided he was well enough to be a genuine Jedi again.
So he was given his awesome gold lightsaber back again, and wasn't really heard from much...UNTIL...A bunch of Mandalorians (this was before the Clone Wars 'toon made 'em more fleshed out) attacked the temple, then Raynar took on a bunch of dudes who were essentially Boba Fetts and won. Room full of 'em, in fact.
Him and Pellaeon, dude. Awesome Guys. -

Though I'm pretty sure the Mandalorians were well fleshed-out long before the cartoon... they were in the old Nomi Sunrider-era comics, for one thing. For that matter, you're talking about events post-Caedus, so Karen Traviss had already set out her version of the Mandos (which I don't mind admitting to finding very interesting indeed).
Still and all, at any point in time, taking out a roomful of Mandalorians is an impressive feat.

“Amos, think who you’re talking to!” said Mr Weasley, very angrily. “Is Rosey Potter likely to conjure the Dark Mark?”
“Yes,” both agents muttered in unison.
^I love this so much I cannot even express it. ^_^
McGonagall discreetly gave Rose a Time-Turner, and Rose discreetly put it in her invisible pocket.
^Why's this emphasised? It's not a mistake, and the sentence doesn't seem to add anything to the story.
...Rose and Dumbledore practiced the Imperius Curse on each other...

I bolded it because it was used twice in the same sentence. Guess I should make that a bit clearer. ^^;
I endure the stupidity because it's so, so, so satisfying to get to the end and then kill her in the most anticlimactic ways possible. Plus, it's a Legendary! Who can resist the chance to say they've killed one?
But did you stop reading the mission at that point? Because I'd have thought what she did to Ron would be worse... -

No, not the mission. I love the missions! I stopped reading the original "stories" about halfway through CoS, and I'm glad I did, because the rest of this is brain-breakingly bad. Oh, and I've had enough blatant child sexualisation after reading all of Hogwarts Exposed. :-(
Yeah, I see why you bolded it now. It's just that discreet/discrete is a really common mistake and a particular pet peeve of mine.

After and assuming I get permission I would be willing to tackle it. I have managed to pick up the talent to be able to sit through and read some of the most disturbing things known to mankind.

Brief summary:
Replacement!Hermione becomes teacher. Emo!Harry is DADA teacher. They haven't been friends for like five years. A Sue who has been sexually abused by Madam Hooch comes to Hogwarts, is put in Gryffindor. Meets a Sue who looks like Hermione and is a nudist. Mini-Hermione convinces the rape victim to also become a nudist. Then Hermione adopts her and marries Harry. Meanwhile Mini-Hermione tries to give her virginity to Harry. Anyway, then they all become nudists and have naked tickling games with Harry, including Mini-Hermione's eleven-year-old sister. And that's mostly the first story. Later on, there's a sixteen-year-old trapped in a ten-year-old's body. And she has sex, quite clearly for the author's paedophilic fantasy fulfillment. Oh, and Mini-Hermione gets violently raped by Death Eaters after becoming a teacher at age 18.
Yeah, Bad. -

Just one comment - it looks like Kieran Halcyon was using an early edition of the book, because JKR initially did give the counterspell for Stunning as Enervate - that's what it is in my copy of the book, which I got back in 2000. It was corrected to Rennervate in later editions though.

Yeah, I know it won't be used on Rose, you have those planned. But hey, should you ever need to drop a Sue on a planet populated with arsenic-based life, and where man-sized carnivorous arthropods are the least dangerous thing around, there you go.
