#SOMEONE HUG THIS CHILD (via conjure-at-your-own-risk)
Amen.
And can we talk for a second, about how he actively let go of the one person in the entire world that makes him feel normal (and that he wants to be normal most out of anything else is a whole other essay), like he’s got a future, because he thinks he makes her a target, and not only that: if anything happened to her it would be HIS fault? Can we???
I mean, they obviously got their happy ending and all, but he walked away from the girl whose kisses had the same effect as firewhiskey on him, who has been described by him in poetic terms since he was twelve years old. Harry has been completely gone on this girl for months, like, he’s trying to find a way to have Ginny as a girlfriend and Ron as a best friend at the same time, even having seen Ron’s rather extreme reaction to her and Dean earlier in the year, that’s how much he loves likes Ginny. Then they get together and are blissfully happy, and he lets her go, because his upbringing pretty much ensured that he thought he, a teenager, had the responsibility to deal with a situation that has plagued multiple generations, and he wanted her to be safe. Meanwhile having little regard for his own safety.
I have no kind words for the Dursleys.
