This is making me realise I have some serious Draco issues. Self, he's a fictional character! Kindl stop being freaked out/scared/whatever because "people are judging him for what he's like at fourteen!" Because really, if you use that little grey mass that is your brain, you know they're completely right.

And you know, i'll take the issues over the fucking apologists any damn day, thanks.

Re Sirius: He's one of those characters whom I think, if I knew him in reality, I actually would dislike and stay away from--I get the impression, and I cheerfully acknowledge I may be completely wrong, of someone who has (had?) a trigger temper and a real streak of cruelty in his personality. I mean, that little trick he pulled on Snape in the Shrieking Shack when they were kids not only could have led to someone's death, it would have led to Sirius's ostensible best friend, whose *incredibly stigmatizing secret* Sirius was allegedly guarding, emerging from his altered state to realize he'd been enticed into a murder. I mean, if *that's* how you treat your friends, I don't wonder so much that Remus believed Sirius committed Pettigrew's crimes.

Sorry for rambling, but I'm knee-deep in writing these youngsters and you gave me some food for thought. :-)

Just when I think I'm safe from the Harry Potter addiction, you go and mention Snape's past. Now I need to read the third book. Yeesh, this series is like metaphorical crack-cocaine--one read and you're hooked!

Honey, you NEED to read the third book! There's good reason why it seems to be everyone's favorite, trust me. :-) And then the fourth as well, c'mon, know you wanna...

Which is EXACTLY why I don't like him. And he was, what, 16 at the time? Old enough to understand what he was doing, and to have taken responsibility for it, and as far as I can tell he never did. If you think about it, they never really said how close the rescue was, for all we know, James was in danger of being killed too. And then Sirius would have caused REALLY big problems :)

Wow, at least I'm good for SOMETHING :)
