urbandruidAm now up to chapter- um, nineteen? Can't remember. It's a good book, but I find I have to read it in sections. Some of it makes me angry, some of it is upsetting- this is a dark book.
I love my book, hence the icon, but I am also a little unnerved by it. It is- creepy in places.
I think I may vanish off LJ for a while here, at least until I finish the book. I'm too tempted to click on lj cut links for things I haven't read yet.
My year 5 fic is seriously AU already, as the Order of the Phoenix is not quite what I imagined it to be. I am not changing my Order one bit- I like it the way it is, and it's interesting I think from a looking back sort of perspective.
Am trying to mentally prepare Mom for OoP, how it's different from GoF or any of the other books, but there's no way- Umbridge can't be described, really, she has to be experienced.
"She's evil," I say. "Vile, horrid-"
"Oh," says Mom. "Snape's new girlfriend?"
Oh, I tell you, I almost threw up.
"Not even!" I told her.
The horror...no, please no, gods no, anything but that, not her, not that hag, that sadistic fucking bitch-
Oh gods. I need a hug. That was scary.
Voldemort's girlfriend, maybe...but not even Snape at his worst...
Oh, Mom. You may have scarred me for life here, and you'll never know it.
