![]() We have to go through at least fifteen more letters before cycling back to point B. We can’t just have characters going from point A to point B. Over the moors and through the air to castle Hogwarts we go. It doesn’t take much convincing, as Hermione pretty much rolls over for Draco by now. Falling forever, it won’t be touched again, and Draco will be safe.īut Draco comes to briefly and quietly pleads with her to keep the charm. ![]() She has the idea to throw the pendant into the Bottomless Pit. Hermione is holding the Epicyclical Charm (let’s not worry how she got a hold of it) and musing. Everyone’s in the car, Lucius probably doesn’t have enough air, and they’re sailing over the Bottomless Pit. I’m going to assume that there’s some deep context that I missed from the original books because Harry getting emotional over Sirius being able to hold someone in his arms while handing over a sword is too silly to contemplate. Before you go thinking that this is improv, Sirius hands the sword back to Harry and tells him to not let anyone hold it. Harry picks it up and gives it to Sirius who almost immediately drops it. This has Hermione near tears once more, although you’d think Draco being this close to being snuffed out via nefarious jewelry would have had her bawling.Īs Sirius picks up Draco, the sword drops from the boy’s weak grip. He’ll have to carry Draco to the car since the boy can’t walk. Sirius informs the kids that they need to get back to Hogwarts soon. Just don’t read into this and start shipping them. This is a good time as ever for Harry to place the sword against Draco’s prostrate form in a sign of good sportsmanship. Last time, we saw the Weasleys cramming Lucius into the boot/trunk of the car while the others stand around a barely conscious and mortally wounded Draco. Let’s tuck in to some sugar-loaded goodness and try not to fall into diabetic shock as we finally get through the final chapter of Draco Dormiens. As for the chocolate syrup, well, you usually can’t go wrong with that on any frozen dessert. It’s as if all the flavors took turns on my taste buds, with the creaminess of the ice cream enveloping everything in a wonderful texture. I went overboard with toasting the almond slivers, but the burnt taste added another layer of flavor to the whole mix. I used blue raspberry Jell-O, which added a slight sourness that mingled nicely with the sweet cherry pie filling left over from another recipe. But that’s a consideration for another time. Constantly stirring over medium heat, making sure the concoction doesn’t burn, the hazard of messing it all up if you turn up the heat too high… I probably would have been better off buying flan mix and leaving out the caramel topping. I made my own custard with the instructions from this BBC Food article, and let me tell you, it’s a hassle. Custard isn’t common here in the States, with the exception of flan. ![]() You have layers of custard, whipped cream, Jell-O, toasted nuts, fruit, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate syrup. As for the name itself, it may have come from striped knee breeches or the then-common nickname for New Yorkers. Originating in 1930s America, this parfait-like dessert found its stardom in England. ![]() What better way to celebrate foodie style than with a knickerbocker glory? I used the recipe from The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook, from which I also got a historical tidbit about this delightful tower of sugar. I don’t want to dwell on the coulda-woulda-shouldas. Six months I could have spent on other books. It’s almost over! Six months of my life spent on this story. Thank God, Christ, the Universe, and everything in between. Missed the previous installment? Here, but make it snappy. ![]()
