"I would have screamed like someone was using Avada Kedavra on me, that's what I would have done "

For all that Draco is often a brat in this, he really does have some of the most sensible reactions in the series

World building is really where LotW is at her best. Walpurgis alone is worth reading the series for

LotW clearly forgot about McGonagall being the one to give Harry Peter's wand here. I normally give some leeway when it comes to things like this in fic but, given the pace, she would have only written that scene about a week earlier. Not really long enough to forget. At least, not for me and my memory is pretty shit

1: I loathe Lily so much
2: Avada Kedavra is deadly from *any* distance, idiot. That's kind of the entire point.

Not sure if I'm bored by the current plot portion or if 4-ish straight days of reading is my limit, but I may have to take a break to do something else. Focus is basically non-existent and I'm getting antsy

Harry's continued insistence that Connor is compassionate and gentle is one of the most infuriating parts of this series. If I remember right, the dumbass doesn't start to get over it until the very last fucking book despite Connor *repeatedly* being a selfish, bullying shit.

I will never understand why Harry doesn't just tell Connor that Sirius was fucking well trying to kill him here. He may not have permission to explain everything, but no one can justifiably tell him he's not allowed to share his own experiences

Connor, you little moron, how has it not occurred to you that you don't have a quarter of the magical power you'd need to be a lord

I love Millicent so much

Connor going from being reasonably ok at the end of NMBSS and the beginning of this to back to being his usual patronising, self righteous pain in the ass self barely a day into being back at school is way too abrupt. I feel like LotW was probably hesitating about making him less of an ass earlier than she'd planned and didn't think through how it would read
