another chance to use my Harry Potter icon
I just had the most awesome dream last night, and I have to write it down before I forget. It started out as Phoenix Wright, with the role of Phoenix being played by my dad. (And no, it was NOT a slash dream, so don't ask. :P) We were trying to solve this big murder/conspiracy thing, so we were running around gathering evidence, and not always in the most legal of ways. Breaking into an office building to steal files and driving on the wrong side of the road were both involved. (People still drive on the right side in my dreams.) The victim had also left behind a bunch of random posters, news clippings, assorted objects, etc., and we were sure they meant something, but we couldn't figure out what. I don't quite remember the first method I tried to use to decipher them, but it ended up not working, and our three days of trial were running out, but then I realized that each item corresponded with a song, like the song would be "Cruel Cruel Summer", and one of the news articles would have the word "cruel" in it, so "cruel" would be the keyword, and you had to find all the keywords and arrange them to make the message left by the victim. Then the dream morphed into Harry Potter, and I became Harry, and the Phoenix/Dad character became Mr. Weasley, and the message we were trying to decode was this spell that Voldemort had created a long time ago that was like a thousand times worse than Avada Kedavra (this dream was sort of an alternate, and imo, much better, version of book 6). So forget Horcruxes, it was this spell that was the key to Voldemort's undoing. But it was a very complex incantation, and back at Godric's Hollow, he'd slipped up on a word, and that's why Harry didn't die and the spell backfired. So we had all the key items, and we had to take them to this abandoned house to decipher them, because for some reason we'd be safe from Voldemort there. But of course the Ministry had been tailing us, and Umbridge, Filch, and Shacklebolt showed up, ostensibly to look at the house because Umbridge was thinking about buying it. Shacklebolt pulled us aside, and was like, "I'll keep them busy in the rest of the house; you hurry up and finish decoding the spell and get it to Hogwarts, and btw I really think you should those magnets on the fridge," because some of the items were those magnetic alphabet letters, and he didn't want all the clues in one place in case something went wrong. But I'd already flipped ahead a few pages in my dream book, and gotten spoiled for the part where Umbridge slipped away under an Invisibility Cloak and popped out at us as soon as we'd finished decoding the spell, so I knew that in his haste, Harry had to forget to leave those magnets behind. So we reconstructed the spell (it turned out that some of the clues weren't hidden in our objects, but in other things that were close to Voldemort, like the Malfoys, but those were pretty obvious and easy to guess), and realized that it was far more powerful and horrible than we had ever imagined, and it never should have been reconstructed in the first place. And then of course Umbridge popped out and was like, "Tee hee, I'll be taking that," and we were like, "Noooooooooo, she be takin' our spell," but as soon as she took it out of the safehouse, Voldemort knew it was complete, and attacked. Somehow, we got the spell back and took it to Hogwarts, but Voldemort followed us and there was a big battle. The tablet that had the spell on it was destroyed, but Voldemort took Hogwarts, and everyone had to flee. It was a narrow escape, because we nearly ran into the Malfoys, who were rushing to Hogwarts to lick Voldemort's feet, but we were able to pass without them seeing us. And we were afraid that Voldemort would try to follow us, but we saw the light of an Unforgivable Curse back at Hogwarts, and nothing else, which we thought was kind of odd.
Then it was time for the Angsty and Brooding Post-Climax part of the book, so it was a few weeks later, and the anti-Voldemort faction was broken and scattered, and I happened to run into Neville, who'd fought bravely during the battle. And we were talking about stuff, and in the light of everything, it became clear that bcause of the Godric's Hollow incident, Voldemort himself was no longer able to reconstruct the spell, and he had purposely allowed Harry to find the clues. And then Neville was like, "What's that smoke coming from the top of that hill?" So we climbed the hill and found some crispy fried Malfoys, along with all the other clues, assembled and left there by Voldemort. Only this time, some of the clues were replaced by the bodies of people important to Harry, like one of the clues was "red", but instead of the original red thing, Fred's body was there. And so the book ended with Harry in the dilemma of re-reconstructing the spell, and taking the chance of it either falling into Voldemort's hands, or corrupting him and turning him to Voldemort's side; or else trying to find a different way of defeating Voldemort, which would likely cost the lives of many more friends.
ALL IN ALL A MUCH BETTER BOOK 6, DON'T YOU THINK?
Kyoto is very awesome and also very hot. My area of town is pretty modern, so I don't have all the old shrines and stuff that the main part of the city has, but it also means my apartment's a bit nicer (and has air conditioning!) There's a Book Off right across the street, but I'm going to be good and not buy anything there until I get my first paycheck. (What is the Prince of Tennis OVA "Invitation" DVD, anyway?) There's an ice cream shop a few blocks away, but ironically, it's too hot to go there. I feel very sure that I'll horribly offend everyone I come in contact with and do a terrible job at school, but I think a lot of that is me being thrown for a loop by my uncle's death. :/ Today I need to figure out the washing machine, and then repack so I can go to Gifu for Obon.
