 Re: How many lucky turns? (another chapter for “T.I.R.A.D.E.”)
1) Of course the Grey Lady just happened to be near when Harry needed her.
2) The entire tiara horcrux was beyond lucky. Harry remembering it at exactly the right moment, snatching it up at the last second, but most importantly, out of that entire room of hidden objects- Harry manages to but the Prince's potion book next to the tiara. Or the tiara next to the book.
3) Hogsmeade- them being near enough to the Hog's Head that Aberforth could cover for them. And that his cover was even accepted, at all. They could have had drastically different Patonuses.
4) If you think about it- the one group they overhear, that they need, is the one being kept in the Malfoy Manor basement? How many other groups were probably running away from the Snatchers, after all?
5) Finding the shard of Sirius' Mirror- There being a shard of Sirius' Mirror large enough to still use. I'm suprised under all of Harry's books it wasn't crushed to smithereens.
More, but I' feel nearly incoherent...so I can't think of any now. :/  |
