It would be nice if I still had friends that actually wanted to hang out with me but nope instead I have to practically beg them to spend time with me and god I’m so sick of nobody giving half a shit about me but hey at least everyone else is happy right?????
NO BUT DO YOU WANT TO HEAR MY THEORY FOR THIS SCENE
This doesn’t comply with the books, I realize, but it doesn’t exactly not comply either.
Why would Malfoy rip a page out of a random book? If he wanted the book, he could have just bought the book himself. He’s not poor, his family doesn’t discourage learning. He chooses to rip a particular page with a pointed glance out of a book. Why?
Think of what this and Dobby’s actions of warning have in common: Lucius Malfoy. The one who was apparently talking freely of the dangers that would face the Muggle borns this year. I think Draco knew more about what was going on, or at least figured more out, than he let on to his friends. Why? He was worried.
How does this connect to the ripped paper? How did Harry and Ron find out about the basilisk? How did Hermione?
A ripped piece of paper on basilisks.
Now we’re to assume that Hermione found this in a library book and promptly ripped it out to take with her.
But why would Hermione, with her love and care for books almost on par with the librarian, rip a page out of a book she could have just checked out? My guess is she didn’t find it in the library.
My guess is Draco somehow slipped her the piece of paper that he ripped out of a book before school started, detailing the monster he knew was in the Chamber.
He slipped Hermione the paper somehow, whether by leaving it on her desk or planting it in her bag. He tried to warn them, as best he could.
HOLY SHIT
I always wondered why they so importantly showed Malfoy ripping the page from the book. It was strange to me. Yes he’s destructive but honestly there is no point in showing that. But you’re right- Hermione would NEVER rip out a page of a book- this makes so much sense.
THE EPIPHANY I JUST HAD.
Fun fact
In 49 I repeat FORTY FUCKING NINE states you can kill a trans person and use the “trans panic defense” as your reason for fucking killing someone like me and IT ACTUALLY WORKS. My life is nothing as long as the person who killed me was scared enough to fucking murder me.
Who should really be the scared one here?
Marriage equality is great and all but FUCKAND THIS MOSTLY AFFECTS BLACK TRANS WOMEN.
SAY IT WITH ME NOW.
BLACK TRANS WOMEN.
[pre-gifs] “…So, she [Paris Hilton] was a very wealthy woman, [initially] not that well known and then she gets to mega-stardom. How? The sex tape. Which was made by her boyfriend at the time, who was married, and thirteen years her senior. She sued to try and stop it [the tape’s circulation] and she couldn’t and it became the best selling sex tape for two years on the porn market.”

I think everyone should watch this video. It’s so real and the heart wrenching truth…
I would like to formally apologize to every woman i ever talked badly about without ever considering what you went through as a human being. I am so very very sorry.

as an art historian, may i just say: fuck banksy.
instead of banksy, the white guy who has been funded and coddled by the elite as the darling of the circle-jerking art white male art world, TRY:
