Karkaroff definitely. Fudge has power. That was your motivation for
going after him in the first place, IIRC.

Wait a second! No-one joined you? You're absolutely sure?

<clears throat>

Of course, I wasn't asking for any particular reason. Of course not.

Cindy, I believe you will find that I did take you up on the offer
down the line. I'm not sure what I was drinking. I even started into a
rant against xenophobic HP fans who read the books to "crush on those
stiff upper-lip English" and marched about yelling, "Up with the
Slavs!" plus I quoted D.H. Laurence "The English are so nice." I'm
still surprised that didn't bring down the whole list about my ears.
The English must indeed be nice, in a non-D.H. Laurence sort of way. 

So, with the idea that it's better to get it over with now rather than
let you do it. Here's the incriminating part of the post.

Krum, I'll take. He's an age-appropriate crush for me, actually. I'll
pass up on Karkaroff.

Go Cindy!

And remember that Crouch Sr. is definitely dead sexy.

So... ummm... yeah. At least, I passed up on Karkaroff. Not sure why
I'd want Krum, though.

I still stand by Crouch, as you know. 

Thanx for sorting out that trouble with George, btw.
