the most grief and annoyance for Harry and the most enjoyment for

---has got work to do, but is too tired to start and is instead
reading Harry Potter forums and lists, thus rendering her eyes even
more useless... I got elected team-leader only a couple of days ago
and am already spending far more time than I ever wanted to designing
leaflets and thinking up Big Strategies...
