Apparate/Disapparate that is the question.
OK, I know this question was posed awhile back and I thought I had a clear understanding of the meaning of and difference between Apparate and Disapparate.
My take was: Apparating was arriving, and Disapparating was departing.
So, if Severus appears in my living room (in my dreams): POP! Severus apparated into the middle of madeleone's living room.
But if he was leaving my house to return to Spinners End, he is departing so he Disapparated: Severus Disapparated from madeleone's house to Spinners End.
But in posting a chapter of a story, where I say of Hermione that: "She didn't seem determined to Disapparate off to murder Theodore Nott", I was told: "change this to Apparate: Disapparating is arriving after Apparition)"
Disapparating is arriving? I thought it was just the opposite? So now I am totally confused again. Can someone set me straight?
