没有哈里波特的日子，第17天，阴天

This entry will be in English, if not, too much translation work to do lah.

Alright, as you know, I made the terrible boo-boo about the pre-order. Told my friends, my colleagues, my family, and all agreed I was unbelievably stupid. Instead of being one of the early birds, I ended up being the "late bird", an ungracious term coined by both Sandy and Ivan...
*Makes a face at both*

And so I resigned myself to the situation, what to do right? Wait lor! And after a torturous week, my book finally arrived on 28th July! Against the beautiful sunset, a winged parcel glided through my window, and landed smack on my lap! Ah, what will we become without magic in our lives? And for the record, I devoured the book the very next day, using a speed-reading spell borrowed from Hermione.

Well, I love happy endings, and this couldn't have been better... Harry and Ginny, together! All the missing puzzle pieces are now in place, with the exception of certain parts... Like how on earth did Neville pull out the Griffindor sword from the Sorting Hat? When the sword was already taken away by the goblin Griphook? And what had really happen to poor Ariana?

But whatever, the end has come. And I am satisfied.

This morning, Aunt Petunia came to my mind... Must have been painful to harbour all that jealousy and resentment for so many years... Even til the last moment, she couldn't bring herself to talk about her sister Lily... was she still angry that Lily had what she didn't have? Or was she actually feeling remorseful towards Harry? Resentment hurts, it does. Let it go, Petunia.
