Chapter 24 - Sectumsempra

Sep 09, 2005 15:00

Harry tells Ron and Hermione about the horcruxes during charms. Ron is so astounded that he makes it snow which leads to the first time JKR uses a non-aggressive adverb in describing Hermione talking to Ron. SCORE! Of course, Lavender can tell that Hermione is talking "patiently" instead of snapping, berating, or otherwise belittling Ron and she ( Read more... )

This is my favourite chapter in HBP.

#1. Draco has gotten depth. DEPTH. FINALLY. Haven't 99% of us in the fandom been waiting for this? This is my absolute SQUEEing moment, because this cleared the doubt I always had. I'm no Draco fangirl, but I really, really, really liked how JKR portrayed Draco here. Crying, putting his defences down and "confiding" in the unlikiest person ever. That said, *SQUUEEEEEE*!

#2. Roonil Wazlib is mentioned here again! The exchange between Harry and Snape totally cracked me up for some reason! XDDDDD

#3. VINDICATED. Who endured the fandom taunts of being the "n00b/weak" ship? The H/G 'shippers. Man, I totally am in love with the H/G kiss. What's more, Hermione was there, as ever so supportive! And poor Ron, if he only had a clue about his bestmate fancying his sister, he'd have reacted like Hermione! Pity Luna wasn't in the scene! It's not a bad thing JKR's leaving us the Walk to our imaginations, is it? SUNLIT-DAYS, people, not wet and salty!!! =DD

And I can't help it:

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Okay, I'll shut up. Don't want to hurt anyone's feelings on this.

But.

It's H/G. Sealed with a kiss. *dies*

Yeah, me too. I'm actually a fervent Myrtle/Draco shipper now ;) Seriously, I totally loved Draco in this chapter and the tower scene. You can really feel his pain and his struggle with himself. I'm glad JK put so much depth into him.

Myrtle/Draco and Harry/Ginny in the same chapter? This has got to be my favourite chapter in all of canon!
