You get a party here in the egroup! (and maybe cake and candles are
being owled to you even now)

Happy birthday to you,
You're a cute witchy-poo
Birthdays are magic
Your wish will come true

Happy birthday to you,
You're a skilled witchy-poo
No witch is grown-up
Until age forty-two.

Happy birthday to you]
Sexy, wise witchy-poo
Go find a wizard
Who appreciates you

I suspect that mothers who are Potterverse witches have a much higher
rate of identical twins than Muggle mothers.

Umm.  I would have admired her knowledge and shared her love of books
(and love of hearing one's own voice), but I was also EXTREMELY shy, and
scared of bossy people. So whether little Rita became friends with
little Hermione would depend on how hard little Hermione reached out to
make friends with me. On the Hogwarts Express in PS/SS, it's clear that
Hermione wanted to make friends but didn't know how... If we had any
classes together, our friendship would have come as a result of both of
us constantly raising our hands to the *sky* but I don't know if we
would have had any classes together, as I would have been a Ravenclaw...

In PoA, at one point someone says Ravenclaw is all on Cleansweep Sevens.
Then Cho is on a Comet 260. This leads me to imagine that she started
the year with a Cleansweep Seven but it was destroyed and her parents
refused to buy her another broomstick so she had to borrow one. As many
of you know, I imagine that her Cleansweep was destroyed in the same
accident as she was injured. I go on to imagine that it was a Quidditch
practise accident.
