My eldest sister has just finished reading the seventh Harry Potter book and in firmly in the Epilogue? What Epilogue? camp.

Which makes me happy.

Due to her dissatisfaction she went online to find analyses of the books and from there the jump to fanfiction wasn't far.

She's been reading Snape/Hermione fics.

This makes me ecstatic!

We spent the whole evening discussing Dumbledore (is he good or is evil - we say very not good indeed), our hatred of Hermione/Ron, and why the epilogue was full of crap!

My *squeeee* will never be harshed!

Heee. Family interests are always a great, great thing, aren't they?

Also, Dumbledore is definitely not a good man...but Ron-Hermione is supposedly destined, because every smart girl needs an oaf to fall madly in love with.

Wouldn't be much of an adventure story between a boy and his mates if Hermione went with someone in Ravenclaw whom she was happy with. They'd be stuck trying to have wacky hijinx with Luna Lovegood or something, and heaven knows that just wouldn't fly...

[/sarcasm]

It would have been much better had Hermione actually gone with someone her equal or Ron turned out to not be quite so much of an oaf as the books went on, but no, he's stuck in his role, too.

I don't think Dumbledore is very nice, certainly. Oh what the hell honestly he's kind of fucked up, but I do think that he--by no means all of his actions, mind--was necessary.

I had a dream about Sorcerer's Stone last night actually, now that I think about it, it was a movie that in some weird world had been made after book 6, so they were talking about the Peverells? I'm not sure, my brain is strange, but the point of the dream was Harry aged 11 agreeing with Dumbledore's plans for his life past and future and telling Voldemort that it was worth the cost to him, Harry, personally. And then I thought again about how much Harry loves Dumbledore, oh poor Harry. People Dumbledore loves do not have happy lives.

I prefer Draco/Hermione, but if you have any good Snape/Hermione recs…

I just finished a re-read, and the epilogue is so wrong, so stupid. And then I remembered the sneak peeks from the film which came out awhile ago, in which they are all aged up to look 50-60 instead of 36... so much fail.

I haven't been paying attention at all to the movies purposely, but... seriously? YIKES.

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*

-"V for Vendetta"
