if its any consolation, it was not on a full moon...
But somebody else had spoken Snape’s name, quite softly.
“Severus…”
The sound frightened Harry beyond anything he had experienced all evening. For the first time, Dumbledore was pleading.
Snape said nothing, but walked forward and pushed Malfoy roughly out of the way. The three Death Eaters fell back without a word. Even the werewolf seemed cowed.
Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore. And there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.
“Severus…please…”
A friend told me something like this is about to happen. You have been prepared for this, I told myself. Its not as if it came as a surprise…but I still cried.
And as I go through the last few chapters of you-should-not-ask-how-much book 6, I still can’t believe it. I was expecting, hoping, and yes, even I was surprised, praying that a twist somewhere will change what happened to the headmaster.
I will surely miss his robe; it’s my favorite. I think I am more affected than Harry. I feel the loss. I can’t imagine Hogwarts without its headmaster. I can’t imagine the Order of Phoenix without its leader…I can’t imagine Harry Potter without Albus Dumbledore.
Why should it have to be in the hands of Severus Snape, the man he trusted so much? Dumbledore should know better, shouldn’t he? Worse, Harry was put in a helpless position, feebly watching the grim incident under the invincibility cloak. He could’ve done something.
As I close the book, an old video file of GMA was being played in the news. “I’m sorry”, she said pertaining to her alleged lapse of judgment. Then, I thought, maybe it’s also a case of lapse of judgment on Dumbledore’s part. Even him can make mistakes, this time he committed an unrectifiable error.
Looking at GMA’ s face on the screen, I can only empathize to Dumbledore. His is a world of wizardly and magic after all. A product of imagination and creativity. And GMA’s case? She’s a reality with a wild imagination and creativity in a desperate attempt to get away from the scandals of her own doing.
I can almost hear Dumbledore saying:
It is important to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting for only then could evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated…

(wala lang, konsensya lang ako kasi sa gitna ng anti-gma campaign nakuha kong pagpuyatan ng dalawang gabi ang librung ito, kaya kailangan kong iraise at ilink, hehehe.)
