#to really emphasise when he runs into situations without any help. how fucking tragic it is

[mast7r]

does it really matter since i jumped canons? no. however. i still hate how there was a plot thread hinted at and. just abandoned. and that was death eaters watching hari closely in case they could get some influence via him. like malfoy snr likely hinted to draco he should try and befriend hari. and in the second book im p sure mentions something about how he could be useful. anyway where im going with this is that i fully and completely believe that by the time the graveyard happened, hari fully trusted barty. probably saw barty as the only one at hogwarts trying to help or be honest with him. and barty taught him some stuff just in case. somehow. the plan failed. voldy didnt come back. so he could hitch his wagon to another figurehead. 

#tldr i think canon underused hari's distrust of authority and at least one antagonist shoulda tried to manipulate him properly #so here we are. im beating hari into the ground emotionally through 4th and 5th yr. #idk it just makes so much sense to me to make his distrust of authority worse via 5 different avenues #to really emphasise when he runs into situations without any help. how fucking tragic it is #but also make it clear its not hari being stupid. its about right for what hes gone thru. #tbd.
