We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's what I get for not keeping caught up here. Damn, I could have been reading it months ago!

I have a HBP question: Who thinks that Snape didn't previously know what Narcissa and Bellatrix eventually revealed to him when they showed up?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Me, ita. He was totally playing them.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I agree.

Also, Where was Hedwig? Did I miss it somehow?

That's the biggest thing indicating his "innocence" to me -- which is irritating, since I want him straight up black-hat-tie-you-to-the- train-tracks-soon-my-electro-ray-will-destroy- Metropolis bad.
Ah, well.

And, I skimmed a lot so I don't know if it's been talked about, but could Snape have used a nonverbal protection curse/hex to protect DD from the Killing curse? It was a "thing" and nothing again.
And why wasn't Harry able to move until DD "died" ?

But is there anything that protects against Avada Kedavra, other than the blood magic that Lily used for Harry? Oh, and Dumbledore had cast an unspoken Petrificus Totalis (or something similar) on Harry before Draco disarmed him, and the spell only lasted as long as DD did. As soon as he died, so did the spell.
And I have just tried every single Borders, Barnes and Noble, Waldenbooks, and independent bookstore in the area around both work and my apartment, and nobody had "Sorcery and Cecelia" in stock! Grr...time to order from Amazon.

For the first: it'd be nice if that setup paid off, wouldn't it? It was such a big deal, and then nothing. I'd thought that Harry would use one when paralysed, but now I'm thinking most of them had hand gestures too.
As for the second point -- because it was AD that froze him, and it broke when he died. However, since we didn't hear it being cast, maybe that was the non-verbal spell payoff?
