At last... HBP

[basildestiny]

Ok, GAH! He died. I'm sad. I love my white wizard. Everyone had their favorites and loved the old man who had a sweet tooth with a broken nose, a retarded scar, favorites in the school, and a long beard with half moon spectactles.

I'm totally with nikgirl. I want Snape to be totally evil. It looks like he is a real turd, but it also appears that he's upstanding in some way? Don't call me a coward in caps locks of rage indicates that he's a real stand up kind of guy, right? We all know he could have killed Harry in an instant. And someone with such awesome Legilimens skillz would have noticed Harry. He knew the kid was there. I think there was an Unbreakable Vow between the Dumbly and Snape or something to that point. There was something, some reason that Snape was trusted.

And Kreacher was in this! He was kicking on Dobby. But... I hate to admit it, but Dobby actually grew on me in this book. I was glad to see the little guy beating up Kreacher! Way to go, Dobs! I can't believe I switched sides like that, but I have to admit that shippy/non-angsty Harry makes me much happier and he's much more endearing.

Reading this book really had me thinking about Harry Potter and the D.I.C.K. Snape kicking the dog was awesome and I really enjoyed meatloaf covered Draco. Oh the days! I was waiting for Harry to discover his baby picture on Dumblydoor's desk. "Alas, Harry! Have you had a chance to rumage through my worldy possessions to find my most cherished picture of you as a baby?" But then I realized that I'd made that part up. I also was waiting for the scene where Harry snuck up on Snape trying to get into the headmaster's office and he'd shouted a million different muggle candies at the thing and he'd finally given up, but then I remembered that was also fiction, not canon.

And the shipping, the shipping, the glorious shipping! I read someone else saying that JK was really into those obscure ships. I really enjoyed all of the ships because they met up with what I wanted so hurry for me for getting what I wanted. Too bad no Rosier/McGonagall... because he's dead!! WHY!?!?!?!?! Mr Evil Mad Eye Moody. *sniff, sniff* Ah, the fond memories of PoA. The Dementors. Sarah and Anita. The poster. The Texas IHop in Atlanta.

I've been lurking in the other fandom journals. Good discussions there, but I'm a slow reader so...

I'm ready to roleplay now!

I too want Snape to be evil.

And I SO thought of you during the Rosier reference

Alas. Good times!

I need to renovate my icons! I had some stellar Rosier icons. And I need an Albus one, with like... his whole name.

It'd be so much easier for him to be just plain evil. And there wouldn't be all of his silly fangirls writing angst AND POSTING IT! It's the posting it part that kills.

I knew you'd think of me. :) How could you not? I really appreciated the whole MWPP experience. All of that research into the time period and the characters really helped my understanding.

But did it appear then that at least one of the Lestranges and Avery would not have been at the school during MWPP?

Awesome times! Good, great stuff. Peeing one's panties is always fun!

It definitely seemed like the timeline was vastly different than ours (and an older Lestrange NOT doing his work???)

But I think we always played with the timeline. When do you suppose Evan really went to Hogwarts?

Yes, we're still on a first name basis.

I'm still so not satisfied with why Dumbledore completely trusted Snape... Dumbledore may have believed in the good in people, but he was not stupid enough to believe Snape like that... Argh. There must be a better explanation. *prays for one*

Ah, HP and the D.I.C.K.! I remember reading those... Thems were the good ol' days... *wonders if she can find them again*

For real! What's with older Lestrange not doing his work? Apparently he turned all Draco Malfoy on us and didn't see the point in completing his work.

We definitely did play with the time line. We needed more characters. But Evan did go in the time frame we set up because he was seen with Snape. He just might not have been the age we decided upon. He and Snape were definitely buddies. And I was glad that he was there with Nott! I was like duh! Of course they were hanging out! But where was Rab? lol Is that wrong?

[basildestiny]

They are still on the board. They will remain safe there. So fun that was!

I think there must have been something he didn't discuss. Something that will be revealed next book... with the Hamlet ending. I'm more and more convinced that everyone will die.
