Wand and British money

[Rachel Bray]

My wand is REALLY short....

Phoenix feather, maple, 7 1/2 inches long....

geez....I hope I don't lose it!  Wonder what the punishment is for 
losing a wand?  :-)  Then again, maybe there's some sort of homing 
device that brings it right back to you after awhile.  Oh wait....it 
didn't work for Harry at the Cup, did it?  Oh well.

When I was in England I had the worst time with the money.  I 
don't know why but it really confused me.  So it got to the point 
that I would just stick out my hands with all my Brit money and 
say "Take what's needed" to the clerks.  I don't think any of them 
screwed me over but they thought it was really amusing.  "Stupid 
American girl."  :-)

I'm exhausted.  I saw U2 the other night and then Billy Joel/Elton 
John last night......I need a day just to sleep.

Oh, the thrill of the chase as I soar through the air
With the Snitch up ahead and the wind in my hair
As I draw ever closer, the crowd gives a shout
But then comes a Bludger and I am knocked out.
