Boy, it doesn’t get much ruder than that "going to be married" comment right in front of Fleur! Well done, Molly!
It’s sort of weird, anyway. So Molly’s instantly decided Fleur will dump Bill, and she’s sad? But she hates Fleur. The whole book she wanted it to end. I guess maybe she feels bad for him, but then this part’s focus seems like it’s supposed to be ‘Molly makes things about her again and focusses on the petty’ not ‘Molly instantly feels bad for dumped!Bill.’
Harry’s all wanting details of Snape’s bad acts to feed his hatred.
This bit seems really odd, too. So Harry, the guy who gutted someone and managed to make himself the victim; needs extra reasons to go after the guy who sold out his parents, was mean to him for six years, and who just killed his mentor? I mean, it’s pretty much a set-up for the next book, I realise, but Harry wanted to Crucio Snape for reading out an embarrassing article, I don’t really see him as the type who needs to focus their hatred on any specific action before it will come.
Oh, Minerva. You could probably fill a book with spells Snape knows and you don’t.
I sort of love her reasoning, too – he was the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher! (Um, haven’t you been teaching way longer? Especially since Snape was DADA prof for what, nine months? God knows it’s not like you’d be expected to know DADA spells in your role as member of elite force fighting the Dark wizards or anything.) And isn’t DADA supposed to be a shiny, happy, counter-cursing course anyway? Harry taught DADA, and it’s not like he knows any nasty spells! And you don’t think that maybe Snape being a DE would have taught him more than doing Dumbledore approved syllabus for teenagers?
she dropped gracefully to the floor, her red hair flashing like a flame…
The reflexes of an all star Seeker!
Sends Tonks a copy of "The Rules"
I’m sure Ginny and Hermione have several battered, underlined copies lying around. The sad thing is that Tonks/Remus is like the only relationship that’s described positively and still has *gasp* the woman as the aggressor, but since it also has ‘I lost my powers without a man!’, I’m way past caring.
Ginny’s looking at Fleur with narrowed eyes, both hoping that she rejects Bill now that he’s scarred, and looking forward to judging her for it.
Isn’t it pathetic that I was surprised that Ginny got as emotional as her voice trembling when she mentioned Bill earlier? (And typically it trembles on him not looking the same, not the fact he was attacked by Greyback or Malfoy stepping over his body or anything. Not that images or looking like a cool rock god are important to her, or Molly.) Naturally like everyone else here, she’s much more comfortable preparing to punish the wicked, like ‘frozen’ Fleur (because… Ginny’s reactions so far have been so tender?) than deal with indecent stuff herself.
The Order was indeed losing to the second-string DEs.
Especially since Neville was hurt. A side that’s relying on schoolkids, never mind Neville (only italics can express my contempt) - I mean, the DEs needed Draco, but still...
Oh good lord, have I just stumbled into some sick Hagrid/Harry hurt/comfort?!
I never actually cared much about Sirius, or Harry’s feelings, so I’m glad there’s no emo about his death; but furthering the whole comparisons – it’s kinda lame that when the still-young Sirius, the only other non-evil Marauder who made it out of his twenties and the guy Lupin lived with died, Lupin’s instantly ‘He’s gone, move the fuck on!’ and now his ex-employer and high school principal dies at what, 300, and he’s practically weeping. (Maybe Lupin’s thinking ‘Oh, no, our leader, the war effort!’, being a male and thus Considering the Bigger Picture.)
I’m sure the Twins will totally take Ron’s talk into consideration and stop selling dangerous products that make them a lot of money.
I’d laugh if the cash for that powder helped pay for those expensive jackets they’re wearing at the funeral.

It really is indecent!
