Year 2, re-read

[naomikritzer]

I fell waaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind on the re-read and took a long break from it, but picked it back up yesterday. I'm on Y2 October and just read the sequence where the Carrows were planning to Imperius Dean into handing his wand to Hermione in the hopes that they'd get Dean sent back to the camps (and Hermione killed). Pansy overheard them while in detention, and she and Sally-Anne tipped off Hermione, who carried word to Ron and the Twins, who warned Dean.

The thing that's sort of hilarious reading in retrospect is how BLAZINGLY obvious the "red means URGENT MESSAGE!" code is.

I have a 12-year-old now, though, and I have to say, I'm pretty sure that this is exactly the sort of code she and her friends would come up with.
