9 Hours, 45 Minutes
Jul. 21st, 2005 08:54 pmIt was Hermione and Ron pledging to stay with Harry that did it. I was perfectly, completely fine until then.
But it was Snape's betrayal that rankled more than Dumbledore's death. And I must now go reread DS, because I now have this bizare suspicion about the Four Worthy Objects. Not to mentio RAB.
Excuse me while I go cry in betrayal. And try to find a nice fanfic to cheer me up.

Edited 22-07-05: Now that I'm over the initial shock, I can actually stop and think about this. Objectively. And it's now so obvious I can't believe I missed it the first time. Snape is obviously not a traitor (to Dumbledore that is). The scene is just full of the reasons why not. It's brilliant on JK's part, really. Snape had to kill Dumbledore, because there was just no other way! Snape is now (again) my all time favourite character. And Draco has redeemed himself.
