Finished

[lexique]

I just finished the book. I have passed it on to my 15 year old. When she is done, then I get to read it out loud to my son.

Any posts in my lj about the book will be behind cut-tags (such as below) and properly identified for the forseeable future. Comments to such posts are apt to have spoilers, so reader beware.

Nope, my slash pairings are safe.

Snarry: Snape was acting on Dumbledore's orders (Dumbledore would never beg for his own life)

Drarry: Draco is having doubts. enough said.

Lucius/Harry: Wasn't canonically possiable in the first place.

Sirius/Remus: Ummmm... Sirius is dead so I don't see a problem here.

I loved HBP! Was in shock for a while, but now that i've read a couple of posts on it, and have had time to think, I actually like how the book ended. I also think Dumbledore is faking his death.

I'm SO curious about where the story is going to go from here. The trio not planning on returning to Hogwarts, regardless if it opens or not!! I'd love to hear Mr. & Mrs. Weasley's opinions on that

Absolutely! Previously, I could never really understand Snape/Harry, but if I keep reading fic (I haven't in a year), it will be one of my new favorite pairings. Not only is the chemistry between them that shippers have loved for so long there in spades, they now have reasons to respect one another as well

PS: Previously I couldn't understand Snupin, either, but now, after seeing Lupin depend both Snape and the HBP, that's completely changed.
