*Dumbledore and Harry are still in the ante-chamber, and must penetrate the inner place, where the real danger lies. It’s like the Cave of H/G metaphor!
Vagina dentata, vagina dentata!!
*Dumbledore apologizes for forgetting the Power the Dark Lord Knows Not that Harry has in spades does not include elementary comfort spells, so he can’t dry himself off after swimming.
Hasn’t Hermione done a drying charm at some point in this series? Or is that total fanon?
*Voldemort’s mistake, says Dumbledore, is that age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth. It’s Voldemort’s mistake because Dumbledore would never make such a mistake. Or…would he? Mwahahaha!
Oh, my God, I so never connected that! Ten billion points to Draco.
*Harry clicks into his "Woe is me I shall never see the warmth of Hogwarts and my friends again!" At least there’s the small comfort that he didn’t have a good-bye scene with Ginny.
You wonder if this was maybe because Rowling tried to write a segment of emotional intereaction betwen them and just failed. Because with where Ginny is as a character now, I can see Harry attempting some sort of overly dramatic goodbye speech as she stood by and filed her nails. Coolly.
*Dumbledore’s concluded he’s got to drink the Potion. Doesn’t even try getting rid of it in some other way, like pouring it out, spitting it out or vomiting it back up. Wouldn’t it be funny if Dumbledore was sort of killed by his own confidence that he couldn’t be wrong? Oh wait; he kind of was killed by that anyway.
You know, if Dumbledore was less of an egotist, I’d sorta wonder about his motive here. Seeing his he has yet to figure out Draco’s plot and Snape and Draco’s numbers are up if he can’t.
*Which in turn makes me think how funny this trip would have been if it had been Snape and Harry.
I can see it now, "Potter, summon an Inferi. I don’t think the contents of this bowl would have much effect if you’re already dead." "But that's not brave or noble!" "Should be right up your ally then, Potter." THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BRILLIANT!
