Oh, God.
I just had the most horrific DH experience.
So. Me and my friend are on a train, and we meet someone she knows. We go to sit with him and his girlfriend. He looks at my ipod.
Him: Harry and the Potters?
Me: *suddenly feels sick and flails to grab it back*
Him: So you're a Potter fan, yeah?
Me: *grins in delf-deprecating manner* Yes.
Him: *looks at girlfriend* Can I tell them? Can I?
Girlfriend: *shrugs*
Him: Guess what I'm getting tonight.
Me and my friend: *raise eyebrows*
Him: No! Not like that - I mean - you know what's coming out in two weeks?
Me: ...
...
No.
Him: Yes.
Me: No.
Him: Yes!
Me: BUT HOW. AND WHY.
Him: Her mum *gestures to girlfriend* works for this business - she knows people. And she got emailed the entire manuscript.
Her: I don't even know how she got it.
Him: It's 600 pages in A4. I'm going to print it off tonight and read it all night. She's been using it as blackmail all day. *goofy grin*
Me: But - but - but you're going to read it and know. You're going to know what happens.
Him: Tomorrow morning! I'm going to know who's dead.
Me: Do you have it with you??? [In head: OMFG 600 PAGES OF DH COULD BE IN THAT GIRL'S BAG AS WE SPEAK]
The girlfriend: No, it's on my mum's work computer.
... and so on. We then went on to talk about who's going to die. Which prompted my friend to draw coffins with GINNY written on the top of them on her Metro. (I desperately need some new friends.)
He'll be reading it, right now. I know that if she'd had it with her, which I honestly believed for a minute, then I would have read the first paragraph, and then probably flung it away from myself in flailure.
I could have given him my email address and had him send it to me.
*rocks backwards and forwards*
In other news: am going AWOL next week from Sunday to Sunday, so I will be a bit non-existent on the commenting/posting/reading front.
Also, I posted fic. I'm done. Bring it, Jo. Also, considering it's Friday night and no one's going to read it, I think that if you do you have a moral obligation to review. Yar.
Now I got to watch JKR AND Gok Wan on Jonathon Ross. *EXPLODES*
