Avert -- Spoilers turn and be turned!
(Apologies to Ursula K. LeGuin for that subject line.)
I'm going to borrow a page from jncar's book and temporarily change the commenting on my journal to friends-list only until after I've read DH, so that random malicious people can't leave spoiler comments. Not that I'm likely to be on anyone's hit list, but you never know.
I'll probably disappear from e-mail and the web entirely from Friday evening through sometime Sunday or Monday -- whenever I'm finished reading! I usually read HP books too fast the first time through to actually catch all of the clues and/or red herrings. (Example: On my second read of PoA, I realized, "Hey -- we were supposed to be getting suspicious of Lupin! Missed that!") So this time I'm planning to stop after every chapter and take notes on what I think is going on -- so I can have a good laugh later at how wrong I was.
Also, I haven't had time to post proper links here yet, but I do have a couple of new Kaleidoscope fics posted at the Last Chance Fic Showdown at metamorfic_moon; there may be a third short thing if I get very, very lucky in the next couple of days.

- Friends (PG/mild profanity, 3509 words)
Tonks has almost given up hope that Remus will ever see her as more than a friend-until Sirius steps in to do what he can for his friends. But no one expects the evening to end the way it does.
- Clarity (PG/reference to offstage character death, 1178 words)
Remus grieves for one friend, wondering whether he will lose the other too-and whether he ever really won her friendship in the first place.
