Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/13230340/93/By the end of the lesson, Harry was sort of getting the idea of what Aberforth wanted to teach them.
After six years learning how to do magic, to the point where you could do it without thinking, he was trying to teach them that you should try not to do anything without thinking – but particularly anything related to Defence Against the Dark Arts.
They read a bit of the other book on the list, as well, The Four Directions, and again Aberforth pointed out different ways to think about some of the quotes in the book. Like the one about how a teacup was to a Muggle a piece of work that might take days to create, but to a wizard was simply a teacup… that was about (or you could think of it as about) how using magic to make something happen quickly and easily could make it so you didn't really think about how valuable it was.
And, at the same time, how being able to make things with magic was also positive because it meant that you didn't have to worry so much about something being broken. But that taking it for granted would be to lose some of the wonder involved.
