Half-Blood Prince, Chapter Fifteen
A few of you may have noticed this one yesterday – I posted the chapter yesterday afternoon but then got pulled away by a baby and didn’t have a chance to post the update (apologies!). But anyway, I figured it was time to move past the shipping wars once again and onto HBP15- so here it is!
There are so many things about this chapter that I love. I love Harry’s having to elude all the girls who are in love with him – and then asking out the only one who seemingly isn’t. I love Slughorn’s party (I mean, there are so many reasons an event like that wouldn’t happen in most modern schools). And I love the fact that Harry follows Snape and Malfoy to discover that – for a change – he was right about something! Such mystery and intrigue, and also the official halfway point of the book. Here goes nothin’….
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, chapter fifteen: ‘The Unbreakable Vow’
Nobody ever needs to apologize for getting turned aside by a baby! Whether it is the two-legged or four-legged, warm-blooded or cold-blooded type. You are being turned aside by love, which comes before everything, and anything else you can get back to.
