Is it wrong that I still cry sometimes about it? Oh Harleen you are sooooooo coming to the right person about this. I read HP in 2000 and the "Remember Cedric Diggory" speach still makes me cry and I don't give a shit about Cedric (other than occasional use in my slash). But seriously......siriusly my very favorite character is Sirius OotP came out in 2003 and I am still not over it. I cried when he died and I still cry about it and often. It's not even my heavy online HP obsession which started post HBP. When HBP was coming out I cried because I couldn't imagine a book without him there somehow and it crushed me. When Snape died I sent torino10154 a condolence card because it just sucks so bad to have the person you love so much die. Those are the things that just stick with you no matter what. Part of the reason I love fic you can give the character you love and hold so dearly the love they deserve.
