Oh my GOD.
Okay, riding the bus home after Uni when all the younger teenage school kids are on it is usually quite hellish. They are loud and obnoxious and they yell rude things and they play HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE music by people singing into auto-tuners so they sound like robots without talent and augh I hate the bus at 3:30 pm. Today though...oh today.
Today, there was a younger teenager and he was telling his little brother (who was about 11 or 12) about Harry Potter. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
The little boy was rapt and the other brother told him all about Harry finding the horcruxes and Voldemort and the brother said things like "I thought Dumbledore might have a horcrux then so he wouldn't die!" and the older one said, "No! You have to do a murder to make a horcrux and Dumbledore only murdered one man and that was his boyfriend and that was because his boyfriend went evil so then Dumbledore had the elder wand" and the little brother said, "that must have made him sad!" and the other brother nodded and then the little brother said "so Voldemort killed seven people then?" and the brother said, "no he killed LOTS like MILLIONS because he's a murder man and that's why Harry has to stop him because he's a bad man" and then the little boy said, "it's so complicated" and the older one said, "I haven't even told you the most complicated parts yet! But in the bank underground there's a DRAGON" and he went on and on and I just... Oh ♥
Seriously. I could have hugged them, except that's probably frowned upon, because as we all know, ANY affection we give kids automatically makes us paedophiles. Not that random kids WANT to be hugged by a crazy "YOU ARE AWESOME BECAUSE YOU AREN'T A DOUCHEBAG" lady, but still... That's a rant for another time because those kids just restored my faith in young teens.
(And I got pink stripey thermal shirt to wear under my t-shirts and it's awesome and :D!)
awesomeness,
harry potter,
yay!
