Anyway, I, about 30 minutes after all this went down, decided to see if there was tracking information to tell me when my book would arrive. I found tracking information, went to UPS, and discovered that UPS said my book had already been delivered. What?
So I checked all the normal places UPS would leave a delivery. It was nowhere outside, nowhere in the garage, etc, etc. Then I figured it must have been hidden. Going inside I went straight for dad's luggage. Guess what I found...two copies of HP 7---one for Kristen, one for me. Dad and Cory were particularly surprised and how quickly I had found the book, especially since they thought they were the only ones aware of its delivery.
It only goes to prove that the magic of Harry Potter and the not-so-magical package tracking trump parents and husbands any day.
Funny story! They must have been pretty quiet about the whole thing...I wasn't aware the books had arrived...and I had not been made aware of the secrecy plot either! :)
EVIL! I finished it that Saturday. Please give my hopeless Harry Potter geek gold star please! I was so afraid of being spoiled by someone running off on the plot that I didn't watch tv, get online, or talk to anyone on the phone until I had finished...I really don't know what I would do if I discovered such an underhanded plot in my home! Gasp.
