waaah!
Kathy spilt water on my phone charger so I couldn't use my phone to call the laptop people to get my laptop fixed and it conked out during a conversation with Sian!
...which sucks since thanks to Book Six, I really need to change how I was planning to play Draco over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I mean, Draco CRYING in a bathroom about how he has to kill Dumbledore or his family will suffer? Points to JKR for having at least given his character some depth and pulled him away from the black-and-white area but waaaaah! That means my char is stuck unwillingly working for Voldemort and is probably going to ANGST about it.
As a sidenote, the Harry/Ginny came out of nowhere, as did the Tonks/Lupin. I am highly displeased with how many times during the book I had to keep blinking to make sure I wasn't reading printed-out fanfic. Bad fanfic at that. Deus ex machina, anyway?
Or, to quotebubonicplague, 6. JKR needs to step away from the angsty teen romance. Seriously, I have seen better in Sweet Valley High. Really.
And Bill. Ohgods. Don't get me started on the half-werewolf, half-vampire, half-elf liekomgsototallycool!111eleventy-one!!!!Bill. New and improved with extra Stuness.
On the bright side, I did like seeing Voldemort as a kid and strongly favor the idea of Snape still being a double-agent.
And I love Narcissa like nothing else around. I suddenly crave Narcissa/Severus/Lucius, and my liking for Draco/Severus has been renewed thanks to the oath he took.
I really want to see a fic now post Book Six where Draco threatens self-harm in order to manipulate Snape into his bed. Too bad Draco seems too weak to do that now ^^;;
R.A.B is totally Regulus Black where I'm concerned, and I think that Harry is a Horcrux of some sort, or at least partially one. *nods*garlandgraves wrote a good mini-essay about it here.

You know, you and I-chan have a point though--more pages would have been nice. This one does feel lacking in areas.
Harry as a Horcrux kinda makes me wince, because now that you mention it...gah...that would make so much since. X__X Bleh. Like Sirius' and Dumbledore's deaths weren't enough.
And honestly, I felt like I was reading fanfiction myself, but I felt the same way back when I read Book 5. Hasn't anyone really considered that this just means some fanfiction is really good if you can read an author-written work and wonder? *shrugs*
Draco...oy. x__X He wormed his way into my heart, and had definite depth...but I don't think he's too weak to threaten self-harm--he just isn't fond of hurting someone else. And for some reason, I don't see anything wrong with that. It made me like Draco...the fact that he couldn't do it.
Regulus Black--sounds good to me. And as I-chan also pointed out, makes sense and would explain some things.

Book Five wasn't that bad. I mean, it wasn't good either but it didn't strike as me 'OMG, she's writing fanfic!'. I think it's just that all the angsty teen romance in this made it come off fanficcy since it seemed to have more of that than anything else ~_~ Plot, anyone?!
Draco, I mean he's too conflicted and ripped up at the moment to consider seducing Snape with the threat of self-harm. If his family is in danger, he's unlikely to be messing around with sex and stuff really. XD Not that I'm saying there is anything wrong with him, I adore him of course, but he's too angsty at the moment. *can't believe the char she picked for being cool, arrogant and in control turned into an angst-ridden tool of Voldemort!*

And I don't go, "OMG! Is this a fanfic." I stop, I blink, and then I look at the cover, see it, then go back to reading. ^^;;
I think everything else we covered. Points made and loved. >3 <3
