Another tidbit on the Cloak
Nov. 20th, 2013 01:52 pmThe Cloak makes one disconnected from other people, right?
So that effect is probably mitigated in respect to, and only to, people who are under it with you. People you share it with, if you share it with anyone.
So Hermione and Ron are more real to Harry than anyone else.
And... remember us complaining in DH9 that Harry's indifferent to the Weasleys' fate, the family that had taken him in and treated him as their own, until he thinks of Ginny?
He was ordered to keep his cloak on his person at all times the previous spring, right? If you wanted to snog your girlfriend without ticking off her big brother, your best friend, by being too blatent about it, what would you do?
So that's why Ginny's more real to him afterwards than most people.
