Chapter Two Excerpt:
“This’ll be your bedroom,” Sirius muttered once they reached the third floor. He pushed open the door that was closest to the stairs and led the way inside. “You’re just below Regulus’ room,” he told Hermione once she and Regulus followed him inside. “My bedroom’s upstairs too, but it’s above the library which is just down the hall from here.”
Hermione took a moment to peer around the decent-sized room.
The walls were covered with the same green wallpaper that was out in the hallway, and the furniture was old – Victorian-age she believed – but the bedroom was fully furnished. On one side of the room there was a full-size bed with an ancient rosewood frame. The bedding was green and gold, and there had to be at least a dozen pillows piled at the head of the bed. On the far wall was a matching rosewood wardrobe and an old dressing shade that was folded up and leaning against the wardrobe. Along the wall nearest the door was an old desk and chair, with a spare quill and ink pot tucked away on the top right corner of the desk.
If she was remembering correctly, this had been Fred and George’s room during the summer before her fifth year, after Molly had conjured a bunch of beds for everyone to rest their heads.
“Thank you,” Hermione said, cautiously sinking down onto the bed. The mattress was so plush and luxurious that she almost wept. She unclipped her bum-bag from her hips and tugged it off, placing it next to her on the bed.
Hermione smiled tiredly at Sirius, who had his hands shoved into his pockets as he rocked back on his heels. He looked like he had about a million things that he wanted to ask her, but was forcing himself to keep his mouth shut for the time being.
Hermione didn’t think his restraint would last for much longer.
One totally underrated arc in YOI is the pipeline from Yuuri being a fanboy of Viktor to
Viktor becoming a total fanboy of Yuuri.
and while I am convinced that they will continue as fanboys of one another (and husbands!), I love this detail so much because their mutual admiration for each other is what inspires them to keep skating.
Yuuri pursued a career in figure skating because he admired Viktor, and even when he was at his lowest, this kept him going. And by the end of the show, Viktor admires Yuuri's skating so much that he decides to come back from his hiatus to compete again him.
It's obvious. It's not news. But this symmetry, how they inspire each other and reignite each other's passion is killing me.
i cant remember/find the post, but there was one that was like “dramatic twiyor reveal except they instantly freak out about leaving anya alone” and. yeah. i agree
