I don’t think I’ve ever been completely normal. Not once, in my entire life, have I been what anybody would call “normal.” It’s a tad bit sad, knowing you’re the only one who doesn’t live up to anybody’s expectations.

Bill and Fleur's wedding is not the joyous occasion that everyone had wanted it to be. Especially for Ginny, who must endure Harry's departure, and the question of whether she will ever see him again.

Voldemort seems to have died. But a characteristic property of many events occurring both in the wizarding world and the Muggle world is that things aren't always what they seem. The moment Draco Malfoy was branded with the Dark Mark, Voldemort discreetly placed a curse on him which would allow Voldemort to possess Draco Malfoy should he die. His last resort should his Horcruxes, in the unlikely event, fail to save him. Now Draco/Voldemort's evil is becoming more and more apparent, signs and strange events only hinting at Harry, and the wizarding world's, ultimate fate.
