As many of you know, today (UK time, that is) The Leaky Cauldron is
going to be bidding on the 93 word card that JK Rowling donated to
Book Aid International - the auction will be at Sotheby's.
On Wednesday, inspired by an email from one of our donors, I wrote
this FILK in a fit of t00by madness.
Enjoy. And please, cross your fingers.
