Jen: Hey!  Temperamental perhaps, fickle perhaps, but wimpy?!!  
Fightin' words.  Besides, I have an oak tree in my front yard & it 
sounds like, unfortunately for the ash trees lower Michigan, you've 
got to travel to find a suitable wand tree.

Jen: I can't decide if it's more like math or numerology when trying 
to think of a RW equivalent.  Harmione would like the precision of 
math & it's taught by Prof. Vector.  But then, attempting to find 
logic for anything in the story having to do with maths may be a 
losing battle....

Jen:  Hmm, I'm going to watch out for you too, although you don't 
seem the type to hex behind someone's back.

Jen: Yes, let's get Mikey out of here before he finds another quiz I 
feel compelled to take.;)
