"No, I mean, your mother's actual eyes. You have them."

"Wha???"

"Dumbledore left them in the letter he gave to Petunia, the evening he left you at the Dursley's doorstep. She has kept them safe for you. They are very powerful weapons, which you will need to use inorder to destroy Voldemort."

"EW! And, how?"

"Throw them at him."

"Throw them? Will they, um, blow him up?"

"No. They will really gross him out, though. And while he's all frantic and trying to wipe off leaky eyeball juice, you will be given the opportunity to kill him."

Holy crap!! Where did I miss this?

I love that I'm reading this in the morning where I can laugh my ass off then show the people at work when I go in!
