I am so shallow. I mean, it's too much bother to stop reading (and taking copious paper notes) & post about the less... uh, predictable things, but. Well.
It is canon, folks:
Harry, however, had never been less interested in Quidditch; he was rapidly becoming obsessed with Draco Malfoy.
:D :D :D
Okay, no, I changed my mind.
'The Boy Who Scored' would be much better to inscribe on someone's forehead. Say, Harry's. By Draco. *whistles*
...He... he stared down Draco's "girlfriends", and was left "infuriated", and then snapped at Ginny. I mean. Yeah. Do the math.
I myself was totally like... I know this isn't the 'monster' of his jealousy/lust for Ginny, but. It's some kinda monster, all right. It's just an even more repressed one. (Actually, he's not really repressing his feelings for Ginny-- they seem... normal enough, if confused and sudden). But this-- this is so... all-consuming he doesn't even notice it, because it's just part of how he thinks and who he is, man. It's. *sigh*
I actually think H/D is now more 'canon' preslash (I say this pointedly in quotes) than S/R ever was, I think. Mostly because we have firsthand evidence of Harry's state of mind here-- we have the smoking gun, basically. Whether it comes to anything or not is another question, but at this point I am seriously saying it's right there, in the text. I'm just being bludgeoned to death with it. I mean... yeah, Harry's paranoid, and yeah, it's necessary to the plot, but....
He's -way- over the top and into outer space. Way, way. way.

Date: 2005-07-19 02:21 am (UTC)I just finished the book & was like, um, wtf, and then I realized that was the Room of Requirement thing ^^;; *laughs* I'd totally sailed right past that, my mind not being given to puns at the best of times :>
