bicrim | cut for deathly hallows discussion

I just finished it. I am crying, and because it was so beautiful as well as so sad. So many dead. Lupin alone, my god. And Severus. They are all gone now, that whole generation, dead. I am so grateful about Draco, and for her loving portrayal of all the Malfoys. In the end, they just loved each other more than they believed in evil. Love saved them. I think that Draco just could not, would not, go where his family would not, even when he hated the side they were on. His loyalty was to them, first, always. I fully expected he would die, and am so grateful that he is alive, 19 years later. I think there is plenty more between him and Harry for slashers to be getting on with, and I am happy for that. Oh, god, Remus. That just kills me.

I'm sure I'll have more to say later, something more intellectual, but for now, all I have is this feeling of tenderness and sorrow, and gratitude.
