as soon as i saw the newspaper headline i just stopped and stared and thought, "how perfect." the article was just brilliant.
i was worried about harry but he surprised me and i love love loved his reactions. these lines made me break out in a smile:
Harry began to smile. He had the feeling that the smile would look rather distended if he confronted it in a mirror, but he had no mirror in front of him right now, and the thought tearing through him was desperately sorrowful, desperately pitying, desperately proud.
He doesn’t know me very well, does he?
*cheers*
and the letter? OMG!!! i'm just so proud of harry. this part was my favorite:
I have to thank you, though, for breaking your hold on me the one way you could: through disappointing me. You haven’t betrayed me, not really. You’ve betrayed all that’s best in you, your own compassion and honor and pride and dignity. And having done that, you have nothing left.
