after 7 years

the last harry potter book's out and secrets have been revealed, atlast!

i went to the Harry Potter Party last Friday and managed to grab the seventh book at 1am. games, magic acts and contests were enjoyed by harry potter fans throughout the evening as the books had to be given at yet midnight(there was a long line in waiting that's why i got mine at 1 am). i was fascinated by how people, or err, fans displayed too much inclination to the world of Harry Potter in their fashionably wicked costumes. there was Hermione, Dobby the house elf, Dumbledore, Trelawney, Bellatrix, Luna Lovegood, The Weasleys, Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter of course. the night was indeed, magic! i was extremely happy and content. my cousin told me, upon seeing that i was receiving my book, that she felt as though it was my graduation day! lol.

after i received my book! i can really see it now how happy i must have been. my eyes were even twinkling!


we were home at 2am, and yes, i began reading the book even if i was already too sleepy. J.K. Rowling wrote that it will be the last installment of the epic tale of Harry Potter. for some reason and maybe with that awkward fact that i am a sentimental freak, a sudden feeling so poignant that like Harry who for seven years of adventures in the Wizarding World, i too had started reading his story seven years ago.

seven must be some sort of enchantment this year, i thought.

a lot of things had happened in those seven years. for harry, was him figting against the Dark Lord... while i, was curious of the ways of the world.(sakto jud si clang-clang... i-apil-apil jd dayn naku ako self. ahahahah! but that's not my point) everything from that enormous detail of years had contributed greatly to the person that i am now. like graduations, choices of whats and who, resentments, hopes, friendships, frustrations, migration...etc...etc... and in between was me waiting for the next harry potter book! waiting patiently as to what truth is really out there... and who caused who... and why is there a constant connection of the Dark Lord and the Boy Who Lived...

and then i thought, this waiting-in-vain kind of thing... through that whole seven years, was a defiant truth of an equally familiar situation.

you see, seven years ago... i fell in love. lol!
