so here's the deal guys. in the past week i reread my way through prisoner of azkaban, goblet of fire, order of the phoenix, and half-blood prince. i am currently halfway through deathly hallows. and as i was eleven the last time i seriously read harry potter. i forgot that it allows me to unlock secret shrimp emotions that humans aren't normally capable of feeling

#I HAVE BEEN ROYALLY MESSED UP. AGAIN.#I HAVEN'T FELT LIKE THIS SINCE I WAS A LITTLE BABY NERDLING AND NOW. OUAGHHHHHH #also it's been really interesting reading them through the eyes of an older and wiser person #because i'm picking up on a whole bunch of things i just didn't have the capacity to understand as a kid y'know #good gravy ESPECIALLY ron and hermione's relationship and its development #like the first time i read the series i was pretty meh about them but NOW. OH MY GOSH #it's the fact that they didn't even like each other when they first met and then became best friends #it's the fact that they fight and bicker and squabble SO much but it's never been permanent #and any time one of them is in danger the other doesn't even think twice about burying the hatchet #it's the fact that they've loved each other since at least their third year but didn't know that cause they were thirteen #it's the fact that they spent so long as friends!!! before!!! they started really considering romance!!!#like even once they did realize they were in love they went about it in a fashion appropriate to their age and the state of their friendshi #IT'S THE FACT THAT RON'S HEART WAS NEVER REALLY IN HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH LAVENDER #THAT THE WHOLE TIME HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH LAVENDER WAS BECAUSE HE JUST WANTED HERMIONE TO NOTICE HIM #AND THE FACT THAT THERE WASN'T ANY REAL SUBSTANCE TO HIS FLING WITH LAVENDER #BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T FRIENDS FIRST #AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW EACH OTHER ON THE INTIMATE LEVEL THAT YOU ONLY GET TO IN FRIENDSHIPS #IT WAS JUST A WHOLE BUNCH OF EMPTY PHYSICALITY #BUT EVEN THOUGH I DON'T THINK YOU EVER SEE RON AND HERMIONE KISS IN THE BOOKS #(and if they do it's like. one time)#YOU CAN TELL THEY DON'T NEED TO TO PROVE HOW MUCH THEY LOVE EACH OTHER #AND IT'S THIS BEAUTIFUL COMMENTARY ON WHAT TRUE LOVE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE AND ANYWAY I AM. FINE AND NORMAL #WHY DO YOU ASK #margin rambles #harry potter
