This is the chapter where Dumbledore’s a total asshole, isn’t it? ::sigh::
Too right. I got in a heated fury about it back in the day (http://community.livejournal.com/deathtocapslock/2361.html?thread=39225#t39225), and my opinion of Dumbles, S.P.E.W. and this chapter in general hasn't changed one iota.
Sadly, I find myself getting my hopes up that the Dursleys will get a chance to show Harry how little they care that Dumbledore has died next year, but presumably Ron and Hermione will descend on their house and move in to bully them for weeks in his place. This will go over with all the readers who haven’t figured out they themselves are Muggles yet.
Or worse yet, R & H will bully each other as histrionically as possible while making a complete wreck of the Dursleys' house. Poor Petunia. :(
By the way, Lupin’s been reduced to donating pints of blood for money, but I’m sure he’d want Sirius’ money to go to you.
Oh man – totally! Lupin is a Token Dark Creature (http://community.livejournal.com/deathtocapslock/2361.html?thread=40505#t40505), who should be thankful for whatever crumbs he gets from the Order and is completely understanding when those crumbs don't come his way.
As for Dumbles forging Sirius' will – Ooooo, you're making me look forward to Book 7 again. Quit it, sistermagpie! ;)
Petunia shrieks. Nothing this filthy has entered her house in living memory. Um, I beg to differ. Harry lives right upstairs.
