Buffistas

Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Closed Threads

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."

Ann, that's a ferret.

I think Draco has pretty well declared himself. It's more a question of whether Voldy wants him.

As for Snape, there's one Big Question JKR almost has to answer in Book 7 -- why did Dumbledore trust him so implicitly? Until we have the answer to that, we have no idea where Snape is going to be. That may be the reason for Dumbledore's ghost to make an appearance.

But there's another question -- is Snape really the HBP? I remember somewhere that the HBP's Potions book was 50YO. That's Tom Riddle's day, not Snape's. Unless that's more misdirection because Snape could have bought it second-hand.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm guessing that the 50 year old Potions book was Snape's mother's. If his father was as abusive as the Pensieve memory in OotP indicates, it would make sense that he wouldn't want to spend too much money in the magical world, especially when Snape could just as well use his mother's schoolbooks.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Oooooh, good one Kathy! Also fits in perfectly with Hermione's repeated "how do you know the Prince was male?" motif.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I don't think we'll see any of our characters as ghosts, as Nick made it pretty clear that it's a kinda crappy afterlife.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Could anyone remind me which chapter of OotP has the bit with Snape's family life?

Art Crawl!!!

Hee. . .maybe the final chapter of HP7 will be called " Graduation Day ".

Art Crawl!!!

And really, it is rather likely that a giant snake will be involved somewhere in HP7.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I don't know that I'd go for giant , but the title could actually work. Oh!oh! And Snape could be eaten by the snake. Or bitten, whichever.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I think the Snake would be the one poisoned, in those circumstances.

Compassionately intolerant

Yes! Snakes!

Also, I'm wondering how the all powerful/valuable, potions book ended up back in circulation. Wouldn't Snape hang onto such a treasure? His beloved mom's book? All his valuable work? Kinda careless just leaving it lying around to coinky-dinkyly get into his sworn pita's hands, eh?

I'm suspicious.
