Snape leaks pensieve juice? Um. Ew.

Haha, that's totally what I was thinking when I read that bit. Not "oh, what a noble sacrifice/last act/whatever". But "he's leaking?"

[thistlerose]

Yeah, that was...an odd image. O_o

[mad_maudlin]

PERCY. PERCY PERCY PERCY.

I need to write my epic Percy!fic now. Because Percy is love. The poor boy finally gets his head on straight in time for the last hurrah. And he avenges Fred. ::cuddles him.::

[thistlerose]

Percy IS love! He was one of my favorites way back in the beginning, and it was SO nice seeing him redeem himself, finally. Oh, FRED.

[3goodtimes]

Really? I have to say, all the anticipation leading up to THE KISS sort of killed the actual thing for me.

I was kind of like, "Yeah, yeah... now, who dies next!?"

But then again, I was never a huge Ron/Hermione shipper. Just a Ron/Hermione believer.

[thistlerose]

As you say, you're not a shipper. I've been waiting for it for YEARS.

[3goodtimes]

Haha, well, I'm certainly glad it paid off for you. :D Yes, indeed. I have to say, Ron really impressed me in this one. So, it's nice they got a bit of payoff finally.

I just wish I could say the same about my favorites... oh, Remus! :(

[thistlerose]

I know. I am sad about him. He finally had something really important to live for, and then... *sniffle*

[aome]

Well, all Pensieve 'juice' IS is a person's memories, ie the stuff Dumbledore produced in little bottles throughout HBP, and the stuff he and Snape would fish out with their wands to keep things private. So this time, Snape's memories/thoughts just oozed out, instead of being taken out in a more controlled fashion. Hey, the guy was dying. :P

[thistlerose]

I know. It was just...a weird image. :)

Oh, the awful boy! I didn't even think of that. Neat.

[mellafe]

PERCY!! Everybody was like "he's an ass. DIE!" and I was all alone in my corner going "No, he's a Weasley, he'll come around, don't die please". HA! IWIN. Actually, we ALL win. :p

Did you care that Lupin and Tonks died? I didn't. I know you like Tonks, and I don't, but still. He was such an ass throughout this book that I DIDN'T CARE HE DIED. I never thought I'd say that, but I've been saying it for four days now. WOW.

[thistlerose]

625!!!!!!!! I may need an icon that just says 625. :P

Seriously, for the first four books, Percy was one of my favorite characters. I kept hoping he'd come around and NOT die, and I'm so glad things worked out the way they did. Though I ache for Fred.

Heh. Remus and Tonks. I felt this jolt when Harry saw their bodies. I really wasn't expecting both of them to die. Truthfully, I'm sad for Teddy, who'll grow up without parents or a grandfather. But - and I haven't finished the book yet - I suspect he'll have a doting godfather.

I don't know if you've seen Rowling's recent interview, where she talks about which character got the reprieve and which got the axe in his/her stead. I'm glad she went the way she did, because...gah.

[mellafe]

I may make one! :p

I ache for Fred too. SO BAD. :(

I did read them. I have to say I would've been ok if Arthur was the one who got killed, if that meant Fred were spared. Honestly. I mean, Ronestly.

[thistlerose]

Oh, Fred. I keep thinking about Percy telling his family, telling George. *sob*

Yeah, I'd have traded Arthur to keep Ron safe, and possibly Fred too. But for Remus and Tonks? It's harsh that they both died, but I adore Arthur.
