My fav part is revelation of Sia's delusions. It is so intriguing and very well written! Kudos to the writers.

And also Aryan turning in to rat and ishani's hair turning grey🤣

Overall it is a thrilling piece of work that would keep the reader hooked to it throughout. Only a person with excess of creative mind can understand what our writers have done in the story😆

For real! I'm still so amazed at how u understood the hallucination part in one go! The story definitely needs another lens from the viewer's side. Gotta think to understand the symbols. Being a true Ravenclaw, it has always been my favorite part in literature classes 😆

Ah I see!

So storyline is subjective and upon reader's imagination! - Brilliant man - I am not much into writing nor am I familiar with writing elements but I bet this is what many writers may opt for where readers can form their own conclusions! ⭐️

And yes - It can also be a murder angle which may have triggered her PTSD or it could have been the child abuse!

For me "Child abuse" floated out as I read along. So I'll go with that perception because it made so much more heart wrenching with Siya being the Phoenix rising out of her own ashes! 🥳

Ahhhh definitely! Did you catch on that stare between Siya and Riddhima towards the end?!!!

"SHUT UP Aryan!" - This shall be the cue every time someone irritates me! 🤣

"Magical Masters: Artists and Art from India and the Far East." She scowled, thoroughly irritated with Ron. Six years in Hogwarts and the Great War later, he could still mess up spells with incorrect wand movements and incantations! - Love the innovation here and inclusion of International Magical world, not to mention Hermione making a MISTAKE - *THE HORROR* 🤣

Aryan shrank in size and turned to a shade of black, as the hair grew lushly over his body. From gaining a pointed head and tail to replacement of his hands by forelimbs and legs by hind limbs, everything was too quick for the naked eye to comprehend. In the bat of an eye, Aryan was turned into something else, to be precise, a little ugly rat.

- 🤣 I checked out Aryan's pic and he legit looks like an overgrown rat - BESTTTEST!

“You filthy blondie! What have you done to him?”

“Uh oh! That was offensive!” Hermione said as she shook her head. “Verto Alba” she cursed as she pointed her wand at Ishani's hair and in no time, each strand of Ishani's hair started turning grey.

“Sorry but I've no more time to deal with you," said Hermione and casually waved her wand - 🤣 - Our BADASS Hermoine

"Bullies are only as strong as you let them be", said a voice behind her, and Riddhima turned around to find the bushy-haired woman standing near the door. "You can't always have someone to protect you, and you don't need anyone too. You, your nerve, and wit are all you need. The day you stop being afraid and stand up to a bully like Ishani, she will cease to have any power over you. Trust me, I've faced it too", Hermione chuckled as she remembered how she had shown one Draco Malfoy exactly what she, aka Hermione Granger was made of. - Touche mate Touche. Something we should own in our lives. Don't be the damsel in distress, rather be the one to protect another damsel in distress. In the end only you and your strength can protect yourself! ⭐️

"I mean to say I’d "accidentally" make you disappear. I'll get a spell wrong and poof, no Hermione", he grinned.

"That's brilliant Ron", said Hermione beaming at him. "Always the tone of surprise", Ron said dryly, rolling his eyes at Harry who grinned at them both - Ofc that had to be the plan, I mean Hermione and MISTAKE can never happen! 🤣

Siya looked around like a cornered animal, her breath coming out in harsh sobs. Hermione seemed to be fading away. She looked down at her hands; they were empty where minutes before she had held a wand. Siya’s eyes hurriedly went to the window that had the bird’s blood. But it was all clean now. Like it never happened. Had any of it happened? Feeling a heavy stare on her, Siya’s gaze went to Riddhima who stood next to the door. She was watching her. She was carrying a blank face, but her eyes hid secrets. Dark secrets. Just like Siya’s eyes did. Siya felt a sort of excitement as she looked at Riddhima who simply stood there staring back at her. Her presence was chilly, making everyone else look like the background of a dark movie.

THUD.

A loud noise came and Siya stared at Riddhima in shock. Riddhima had a hand on her chest as the blood sprayed out from the hole there like a jet spray. Her blank face from a few minutes ago was filled with horror that mirrored Siya's own, as Siya felt salt in her mouth and shooting pain in her own chest. The two girls stared at each other from across the room, and the mahogany clock outside slowed down to a stop, like a bad omen - THESE LAST TWO PARA and how it wraps the beginning, middle and the end - BRILLIANT - Will explain more as I review the work in the bottom!

Amazing work ALL the writers - 👏

I loved this little twisty and dark take on "HP meets idiotic IMM2 (😆)"

Above parts stood out for me the most! - 🥳

You guys made IMM2's world so much more better, gave it a heart and soul by telling us the story from Siya's perception - A survivor who withstood it all and is still standing tall!

What blew my mind was how well "Child Abuse, PTSD and Hallucinations" were given an outlet via incorporation of the dark side of the magical world i.e Death Eaters!

From what I understood, Siya has a dark past. She was abused as a child by Aryan or someone who looks like him. Hence her frustration and anger that got projected onto Aryan. I would like to assume it was Aryan who made Siya's childhood a living hell, reason why she's still haunted by those memories and her struggle with PTSD and vivid hallucinations!

When she saw Aryan bullying Riddhima, it triggered her defensive mechanism in trying to save her against a bully and a tyrant! While she couldn't do much as a helpless child, she was no longer that child. Hence her imagination/hallucination in the form of Badass Hermoine who wouldn't tolerate any such nonsense. Hence her "Bullies are only as strong as you let them be" - 🥳

Siya's trigger of PTSD at the sight of Aryan- Riddhima's confrontation and her Hallucination of bird, rat, Hermoine and the blood rushing through Riddhima's chest were clear indication the girl is still struggling. She has grown to stand up for herself and others, but she is still a broken soul in need for a closure. And her closure just may come with family being subjected with Aryan's past deeds and him getting punished for his crimes - I guess that's why this FF has an open end!

Tho the story still ended on a satisfying note because Siya owned up to her demons and stood against her own abuser. She was no longer that weak, vulnerable child. ⭐️

P.S - I loved how you guys channeled Aryan's evil side as a death eater who are pro at sucking happiness/life outta an individual. And for Siya, he was that DEATH EATER who sucked out her happy childhood!

ONCE AGAIN - Amazing effort everyone - From writers to editors to their Prefect to everyone on the team who contributed towards this creativity gem and to have managed this feat on their own!

Proud of you girls (and guys if there are any)!🥳

P.S.S - This was my take on the story - I wonder if that's how writers viewed their storyline - Do let me know!

Wow your review is GOLD🔥🔥

This makes so much sense. Since, I am not at all familiar with HP or IMMJ(lol), I had a little difficulty understanding the symbolism related to that. And now that I think about it, the ending is just mind blowing.

Ravenclaws nailed the creativity part for sure in this one!

I love such stories where the writers leave you thinking.
