Well, after the last Pensieve, this was relatively tame for me. Richard…GAH!! It’s frustrating to hate a character, because there’s nothing you can do about it. At the same time, I love him as a character. He’s evil, and insane, but he doesn’t show it. Add ‘very intelligent’ to that list and you have a very dangerous person. In a way, I think this is how Tom Riddle was at the beginning.
I understand why Rcihard’s speech got to Draco so much. After all, there is some truth in what Richard said. Draco would do whatever it takes to help those he loves, and he’s never been committed to abstract principles the way Harry is. It was this chapter that made me like Richard. In any other story, he would be one of my fav characters. In this one, though, I can’t forget what he did to Draco.
Could it be that Draco knows Harry’s planning something? I can’t wait to find out :)
(And I think Harry should ask Draco what he needs before he does something stupid)
