Kill Me Now Author's Note and Foreshadows
Harry Potter Fanfiction
India Kieser
Author's Note: Just a bonus chapter.
I used foreshadowing a lot in this story, of course, because it's a nice touch and interesting when you know what's going to happen. This is a list of the foreshadowing I used. Hope you like it.
Foreshadows in "Kill Me Now"
Chapter 1-Sirius's girlfriend is named Mary: Mary is from the Greek name Miriam, which means "sea of bitterness" or "false truth". We knew Sirius didn't really love her, and that his heart belonged to someone else.
Chapter 1-Lily strokes Harry's forehead: I quote from the chapter: "Lily crossed over and kneeled down in front of Harry, and stroked his perfectly smooth forehead." His forehead will not be smooth for much longer, we all know. This was emphasizing what will happen.
Chapter 2-The green glow on Harry's crib: When Lily goes in to help him fall back asleep, a light from outside is making an eerie green glow on his crib...just like the death curse will soon after.
Chapter 3-Harry's favorite toy: Quote from chapter: "Harry began grabbing for another toy. It was a little lightning bolt that made sounds when you pressed it." A lightning bolt...like his scar. Hmmm.....strange that he was attached to this toy.
Chapter 7-The silver ball extracted from James: Later, in book 4, all these balls come out of Voldemort's wand and connect with Harry's wand, remember?
Throughout the chapters: You may notice that the fire in the hearth is always in proportion to how James is feeling. It wasn't lit at the beginning, but the angrier he gets, the more I described the fire.
Their Hogwarts Life
I do not know if I made this clear, but, Lily was definitely the popular girl that had, like, seven boyfriends in one week. And James and his gang were like the popular guys who liked to make girls swoon, but never actually got who they wanted. In the end, James got Lily, but maybe it was more a high school romance? Sirius had tons of different girlfriends. He was a total player. I hope I made this clear in the chapters when James was yelling at Lily.
The song
Yes, I did name the story after the lyrics in that Killers song. If you read them, they go pretty perfectly with this story. I was amazed when I read them at how well they went with my idea, and so I was even more inspired. I hope you read it, it means a lot to me. He even mentions London in the song.
Thank you!
Once again, thanks to all my awesome reviewers. You guys rock. Really. Please tell friends about this story! It's different, right? How can you not like it? (Well unless you're a total :Lily James shipper.)
