Yikes.  I think I will start a new trend.  The tieless Hermione. :)

Where did you get the patch?  No, don't tell me.  I am nearly finished
painstakingly cross stitching my own. :)  My skirt is straight, not pleated
(shame on me) and I don't have a sweater (it is entirely too hot in
Louisiana, I'll be lucky not to pass out from heat exhaustion with a robe
on, let alone a sweater!)  And from the looks of it I may not have a tie
either.  <sigh>  Well, I've got a cool wand, that's what's important. :)

I just can't see why everyone drools over Legolas.  Now as for Aragorn
<sigh> that's another story.

He was incredibly likeable.  Even if it was an act.  He had an interesting
mind.  Shame he was corrupted by evil so early in life.

Now, now, behave yourself.  :)  Still, as long as Lupin takes his Wolfsbane
potion he said himself he just curls up in his office and sleeps.  He could
still keep your feet warm on a cold winter night.

Oh, me, me, me! (waves hand wildly)  I'm a Data fan myself.
