Chapter Fifteen: The Unbreakable Vow
In chapter fifteen of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Harry makes me proud by asking Luna to a party, Ron covers himself in more refuse, and Hermione tries to anger Ron in classic fashion.
(Please be advised that this is a reread and I will be discussing book and movie spoilers.)
We start off with Harry’s avoiding stalkers because he’s suddenly popular now, Ron snogging Lavender constantly which is GROSS screw people who constantly engage in this level of PDA! No one wants to see your slobber!
Poor Harry is doing this
while his respective friends whinge about their non relationship at him, proving that Romione is a terrible idea and Harry was right to fear it. I will go down with this ship, dammit!*
*so it will be destroyed
Finally Hermione talks about something other then her own Chest Monster for Ron (Ron?! RON, Hermione?! You’re the brightest witch of your age surely you can do better) and is like btw every girl is trying to drug you with love potion Harry maybe ask someone to Slug’s Christmas party. WTF? Why are love potions talked about in such a cavalier fashion in the wizard world? Why are they not totally banned? Why are they treated as a joke? I’m sorry, but a love potion is a form of assault. You are changing someone’s mind against their will at best, and at worst, sexually violating their body and mind.
GrangePotz argue some more about D-Malfs being a Death Eater
though at least Harry has temporarily shut the fuck up about his CHEST MONSTER. Let’s skip over the fact that Malfoy is lurking like a little stalking creep and gets his idea to poison Dumbles by overhearing this convo because it bores me and move on to more of Ron Weasley being a dick.
I really do love Ron. And I think the movies did him very, very dirty. But Ron is my least favorite of the trio for a reason, and that reason is his mean streak. He makes fun of Hermione being eager in class (yes I know Hermz laughed at his mustache first but IMO, this is not the same thing) and Hermz runs out in tears, ,where she’s found by Queen Luna Lovegood, who has been sorely lacking in this book.
Harry has one of his best ideas of all time and asks Luna to Sluggy’s party with him as friends, and Luna kind of breaks my heart with how happy she is to be invited to a party with a friend. Screw Ginny/Harry, Luna/Harry is where it’s at!
Ron is more of an ass when he’s like “lol Harry you could’ve chosen any girl why Loony Lovegood you wanker.” Ron? when you’re sucking face with LAVENDER then you can’t throw stones. Also? Luna is fucking awesome and everyone knows it. Ginny stands up for Luna and Harry stands up for Hermione, and while I hate this ship it’s a good moment for Hinny.
Hermione goes to the party with McLaggen to annoy Ron most and I think we all know who would’ve really annoyed Ron the most, eh?

Harry’s not having the greatest time: Trelawney is waving crystal balls at him, McLaggen is pawing at Hermione, Snape is oozing around, but D-Malfs gets caught gate crashing and Harry’s one true love, stalking Draco Malfoy, is activated.
This time Harry’s stalking is rewarded with the sounds of Malfoy belting out a twelve song musical about how he’s working for Voldemort as a Death Eater to Snape, but I’m sure someone will try to act like Harry’s crazy when he voices his suspicions!
