Rereading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: Chapter Three - Will and Won’t

i can only say SORRY 4 THA WAIT so many times before it gets old but FURREALZ not a lot of downtime for reading our old pal HP here  in tokyo. BUT IM STILL TRYNA GRIND SO HERE WE GO

Harry Potter was snoring loudly. He had been sitting in a chair beside his bedroom window for the best part of four hours, staring out at the darkening street, and had finally fallen asleep with one side of his face pressed against the cold windowpane, his glasses askew and his mouth wide open.

and here he is folks, our fearless leader. 

- how the FUCK did i not know ‘higgledy-piggledy’ was a word

- were basically just reading things lying around in harrys room to recap what went down last book. AS IF I COULD FORGET

- OH HEY HEDWIG missed you girl. shes rolling her eyes at harry sleeping just like us

- ok ew its already mentioning the inferi and it just reminds me how UNready i am for the end of this book

“Judging by your look of stunned disbelief, Harry did not warn you that I was coming,” said Dumbledore pleasantly. “However, let us assume that you have invited me warmly into your house.”

how is dumbledore this kewl? GOD i missed him

These words seemed to rouse Uncle Vernon. It was clear that as far as he was concerned, any many who could look at Harry and say “excellent” was a man with whom he could never see eye to eye.

this passage is amazing. i mean, its horrible bc this is harrys guardian saying it about him, but still. hilariously amazing.

“Albus Dumbledore,” said Dumbledore, when Uncle Vernon failed to effect an introduction. “We have corresponded, of course.”  Harry thought this an odd way of reminding Aunt Petunia that he had once sent her an exploding letter, but Aunt Petunia did not challenge the term. 

LOL harry if only you knew theyve corresponded more than that one time. this is the little girl who begged dumbledore to let her go to hogwarts!!!!!!

- spotted: dumbledores old gross shriveled up blackened hand I WONDER WHAT THAT COULD BE FROM

“But first of all I must tell you that Sirius’s will was discovered a week ago and that he left you everything he owned.”

ouch. was not expecting this type of hurt in this chapter.

“His godfather’s dead?” said Uncle Vernon loudly from the sofa. Dumbledore and Harry both turned to look at him. The glass of mead was now knocking quite insistently on the side of Vernon’s head; he attempted to beat it away. “He’s dead? His godfather?”

BOY IF YOU DONT STOP for fucks sake its like my hearts being stabbed every time he says ‘dead’

- KREACHERRRRRRRR IS IN THE BUILDING YALL!!!!!! his story is probably one of my favorite plot lines like, ever.

“Er - Kreacher - I want you to go to Hogwarts and work in the kitchens there with the other house-elves.” Kreacher, who was now lying flat on his back with his arms and legs in the air, gave Harry one upside-down look of deepest loathing and, with another loud crack, vanished. 

kreacher is me whenever im told to do anything

- im still upset that buckbeaks name is now witherwings. what kind of a downgrade is that. but whatever IF HAGRIDS HAPPY, IM HAPPY

Dumbledore paused, and although his voice remained light and calm, and he gave no obvious sign of anger, Harry felt a kind of chill emanating from him and noticed that the Dursleys drew very slightly closer together. 

and THATS why dumbledore is such a boss ass bitch. ya hes old, whatever, but this is why the dude is the most powerful wizard 

“You did not do as I asked. You have never treated Harry as a son. He has known nothing but neglect and often cruelty at your hands. The best that can be said is that he has at least escaped the appalling damage you have inflicted upon the unfortunate boy sitting between you.”

hot DAMN. dumbledore just spit some truth AND threw a grade-A burn. hes my idol

- dumbledore asking the dursleys to let harry return to their home one last time next year got me FUCKED UP. guys, were almost done.

Aunt Petunia, however, was oddly flushed.

how does jkr make me hate petunia but also feel really really sad for her at the same time? home girls a literary goddess.

And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.”

if that isnt the DOPEST ending to a chapter idk what is.
