In my spare time (hah!)... Ok. I have a rule: The books I am reading in the kitchen and the bathroom are "fun books", "spare time" books because I can't be bothered with criticism texts early in the morning or while eating lunch. I read enough of them during the day.
Anyway! In my spare time, I've been re-reading the Harry Potter series. Not only has this made me appreciate Rowling's ability to plot and use continuity, it has also made me appreciate "Order of the Phoenix". It is a lot better than I remembered it from the first, admittedly rushed, reading. The same goes for "Half-Blood Prince", where I've just reached one of the final chapters, the one where the thing happens that was a Big Effing Spoiler when that book came out, even though a friend of mine knew what would happen beforehand.
So, we were all wondering about that "Severus, please...", right? And do you know what, I think I figured it out!
( cut in case this is considered this a spoiler, well, you never know, better to be on the safe side and all that; besides, this must be rather uninteresting for people who're not into Harry Potter )... and why can't I have brainwaves like this about stuff that matters? :D
