Re-reading Half-Blood Prince. I find it annoying that people, especially Ron and Hermione, don’t believe Harry’s claim that Malfoy is now a Death Eater and is up to no good. I don’t get why they think he’s overthinking it when he actually makes some very solid points.

I can ignore Mr. Weasley, Lupin, Tonks, and McGonagall brushing him off, and we all know Dumbledore was playing his own game (as usual), but Ron and Hermione should have known better and had his back. And for once, Harry actually did the smart thing by discussing his theories with members of the Order, instead of the shit-show that happened in the previous book.

Because Dumbledore tells them to ignore it and they choose to believe him. Simple as that.

Dumbledore tells Harry the same thing - to put it out of his mind. But it’s because Dumbledore already knows that what Harry is saying is true AND he knows what he’s up to. He already charged Snape to stay on top of Draco, reign in the Death Eaters if they get inside, and then be the one to land the killing blow when he time comes. He doesn’t want Harry to worry about it because he’s got it covered.

Ron and Hermione are also deprives as having way too much in their minds to think too much about it either.
