Aelf always sends me the very best links, and yet again she has sent me something that just must be shared, possibly the great HP fic of all time:

Harry Potter and the Eagle of Truthiness


"An Animagus!" Hermione gasped, dropping her book and not even noticing.

No longer an eagle, but a man … though still every bit as majestic and impressive. His tall, lean frame was draped in velvet robes that perfectly complemented his unblemished complexion. He smoothed his thick ink-black hair – which had not been disarranged in the slightest – and raised one shrewd eyebrow as his piercing bird-of-prey gaze scanned the room from behind thin wire-rimmed spectacles.

"Allow me to present Professor Colbert," Dumbledore said. "Your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

All around the Great Hall, girls sighed and boys turned green with envy.

"Bloody hell," Ron muttered. "It's like Lockhart all over again."

"Lockhart who?" Ginny asked dreamily, and then she, Lavender and Parvati all giggled madly.

"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore," Professor Colbert said, in a voice that rang with confidence and commanded instant respect. "I know what you're all thinking. You're thinking oh, another one, wonder how long this one will last?"

A murmur of agreement and apprehension went around the room, which Professor Colbert silenced with a single raised hand.

"Well, kids," he said, "Put your wands away and close those spellbooks, and get ready to be Sorted into the House of Truth!"


If you read nothing else in it, you must read Professor Colbert's first class where he introduces the students to today's "Word". Of course then he introduces them to the concept of the "Threat Down", and you don't want to miss that either. Oh hell, just read the whole thing :)

"All right, then. One final question. Albus Dumbledore. Great Headmaster? Or … the greatest Headmaster?"
