dangermousieFinished it. Now, I am sure I should talk about plot and clues and deaths. But my first post is going to be about the all-important issue of... shipping. I had three hours of sleep so that's all my brain is good for. I am so happy I could dance, as every single one of my ships worked out.
Oh, the ships in the book made me happy, especially as I was unspoiled.
Bill/Fleur: so cool. I too, thought, JKR was setting Fleur up for a fall, what with the disparaging comments the Weasleys were making, and was rather dreading it as I've always liked her. But that bit at the end at Bill's bedside, is actually my favorite part in the book, even though it has no Harry in it. Proves, of course, that it doesn't matter if Mrs. Weasley or anyone outside the relationship thinks it's weird, as long the parties themselves are happy. It obviously works for both Bill and Fleur and it's not just the looks. "I am beautiful enough for the both of us, I theenk." My. Favorite. Quote. Guh...so perfect. Go Fleur!
Ron/Hermione: that felt so real. I could see myself (if younger) being involved in precisely that way. Ron snogging Lavander made me laugh, and Hermione's determinted attempt to make him jealous (quite successful) was wonderful.
'And it doesn't hurt that you've grown about a foot over the summer, either,' Hermione finished, ignoring Ron.
'I'm tall,' said Ron, inconsequentially. ROFL. I love them!
Harry/Ginny: be still my shipper's heart! Never in a million years did I think all that would happen. I was glad Harry got some happiness: the boy deserves it. I loved Ginny, fun and strong and she never stopped liking Harry. There was no akward panic like he had with Cho (perhaps because they've been friends). Harry wouldn't be happy in a R/H relationship, the constant bickering would get to him. But with Ginny he sounded like he just relaxed. But yes, what impressed me the most was the maturity and comfort of the relationship. The bit at the end where he lets her go for her sake, is such a beautiful scene. And I love that he just knows she will understand and not make a scene. And she does. These two are made for each other. Not even in my wildest hopes...*sniffles* And he snogged her in a room full of people. And the love potion smells like her. And he is so going to come back to her if he survives. And his whole comment that the past weeks with her have been so wonderful they were "like weeks out of someone else's life." Wow. That might be one of my favorite HP quotes ever. Because it says volumes about the kind of life he has and expects.
Remus/Tonks: a bit out of nowhere compared to past books, but hints were here all over the book. I was never a R/S shipper, so I am glad it looks like Remus will get to have some love and happiness. Poor man deserves it. And he was being sweet and self-denying. Awwww.
Draco/Moaning Myrtle: ROFL. Though I feel sorry for poor Draco. Never thought it.
Snape? Snape? Snape???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still think there is something more here than meets the eye, considering how at one point Harry sees that Snape is in as much pain as the dog trapped in a burning building and that Snape roars at him not to call him a coward. But, Snape??????????????? *dies*
