Aloha to all,

just a few random responses to topics that have been flying in all
directions these days.

--Student Pop.: Perhaps there are *more* than three Gryffindor girls
going into their fifth year; J.K. doesn't always blatantly state minor
facts like this. Case in point: no one knew Padma's name until Book 4.

--Sorting Hat: Any situation that involvles a hat that's got more
brains in it than are in the heads that it sits upon seems a bit fishy
to me. I'm sure that there's more to that hat than what we know.....

--Personal Sorting: The hat would scream "SLYTHERIN!" as soon as it
touched my static frizz. I'm ambitious and cunning, and I think I'm
developing a bizarre infatuation with Draco Malfoy..... well, perhaps
this is just wishful thinking, as my study habits more or less resemble
Hermione's.

--Romantic Relationships: I'm a staunch supporter of H/H, and have no
fear of voicing this view (in live surround sound, no less) to everyone
on ff.n. I think they're sick of it by now. :) "Oh, God, another story by
Alicia..... wonder what farfetched argument she's got in *this* one....."

I've also been converted to possibly the most bizarre pairing in all of
HP: Draco/Ginny. There is absolutely no evidence to support this pairing,
they don't even have any *scenes* together, but because I'm such a rabid
H/H fan, my tendency to support "Romeo and Juliet"-type relationships
(which would traditionally point towards Draco/Hermione) leans toward
this strange pairing that will definitely *not* be seen outside the
boundaries of fanfic.

--Anglophilisism: I, too, have a newfound love of all things
British. Napster's been working doubletime downloading the Beatles for
me. I'd kill to attend Edinburgh University, but I can't even afford
airfare. Here's hoping that I manage to come in first in my class,
earning me free tution at the University of Massachusetts.... all right,
i've just gone majorly OT. Ignore that.

P.S.: Please ignore all SPGs that may appear in the context of this
message-- I've just finished writing my archaic summer reading essays,
and as the total number of pages surpasses 20, my penchant for nit-picking
SPGs has been overused. So has my vocabulary.....
