Okay. I should really go to bed ... and my headache is just getting better, so this is a good opportunity ... and I hadn't wanted to post another entry before finding out if anybody wants to behead me, actually ... and I'm tired ... so what.
I've finally read my flist now, yo.
1) The Malfoys. Narcissa. Why hasn't anybody mentioned Narcissa. I was very surprised that the whole Lucius-is-probably-safer-in-Azkaban thing and the Narcissa-is-a-Death-Eater-but-kinda-neglects-Voldemort's-orders-to-protect-her-precious-son thing and the Draco-is-forced-to-kill-people-but-can't thing actually turned out to be true. I mean, how FANON is that?! Don't tell me it isn't. Hello, Draco crying his eyes out in the bathroom? Uh huh? I particularly loved the scene with Bellatrix, Narcissa and Snape in the beginning. (And Wormtail, mwahaha.)
2) Dear Tom Riddle. WTF? I really, really, really don't like that he was apparently BORN EVIL and stuff. I mean, of course he IS evil, I don't doubt that, I'd even go so far as to say he's 100% evil, but where's the bloody REASON?! Nobody is born with a desire to become immortal and take over the world, I refuse to accept that. That's the first thing I didn't like.
3) While we're at it, Tonks?? OH NO. Woe is me. I really like her, but ... Moony ... no ... I don't want this ... make it go awaaay!! That's the second thing. Hahaha, I bet you expected something else.
4) Dumbledore. I had been expecting that for a while, so I wasn't too shocked ... I still screamed "No!", though, because I hadn't expected it to happen that way. It was weird. I'm not exactly sad that he's gone, now, I never was a big Dumbledore fan, but it means that everything's going to be very different. The 7th book is going to be very different from the rest of them, that's a bit unsettling.
5) SNAPE. asdfghjkl. Right from the beginning of the book I expected that it must be him ... No, not quite from the beginning, I didn't really start thinking about it until after quite some time. But then I just knew it. I liked that! Potions being Harry's best subject all of a sudden, that was funny ... And the killing Dumbledore bit? Oh, I don't know. He would have died if he hadn't done it, eh? And someone would have killed Dumbledore after all, so ... That creepy werewolf fellow shocked me a lot more than Snape because I'm still not sure whose side he's on. Actually I was still convinced that he was on Dumbledore's side throughout the whole book, it was just a feeling that I had, until I started thinking about it. Then I thought, okay ... maybe he isn't. It's a possibility. But his little speech in the beginning ... arrgh, I can't quite form coherent thoughts yet, let's just say that I don't think this HAS to mean he's evil.
*goes to bed*
ETA: Harry/Ginny? Why not. I was actually quite sad that he kind of broke up with her in the end.
