Post # 3243 by Lisa Rourke about Halloween: Also, I calculate that Harry
(born July 31, 1980) was conceived on Halloween (of 1979 --- so if Lily
wasn't what Neil called 'a gym-slip mum', she must have finished school
not late than the June '79 leaving class). I've written that Halloween
party for my Lily-fic, but I have to write the Summer Solstice chapter
before I can post *anything*.

Post # 3244 by Joywitch: "How does a 13 year old wizard know how to kill
someone? Obviously he didn't know how to do Avada Kedavra. Was he going
to turn Black into a pincushion? Charm the axe in the corner to hack him
to death? (yech)" There are plenty of ways to kill a person without
Avada Kedavra. As Simon mentions, one way is to levitate him to a great
height and then let go. Making a good size hole in the aorta or raising
the temperature of the brain to 200 degrees Fahrenheit should also
suffice.

Post # 3293 by Kelley, about the next DADA teacher: "My vote was for a
woman, too. Someone smart and strong that we  could like the way we do
Lupin. Maybe someone for Sirius to get together with?" This latest
Sunday, I had some time, so I read around on ffnet and found that 'katie
bell' has Sirius married to a feisty witch named Jenny, with twins two
years younger than Harry and another kid due the summer between book 4
and book 5, and that 'rave' has fixed him up with a half-Sidh named
Anika. That will make things complicated for Cordelia. I kept wondering
whether Anika counts as a Mary-Sue?

Post # 3337 by Joywitch: "maybe the Ministry of Magic is PART of the
British government. After all, it is called the MINISTRY, which is the
same as what we in the US would call a DEPARTMENT, like the Department
of Education." I believe that the Ministry of Magic is a *separate*
government from the Muggle gov't, even tho' it can communicate with the
Muggle gov't. If MoM were part of the Muggle gov't, a new Minister of
Magic would be appointed every time the Out party won an election to
become the In party. Also, if Magic gov't was part of Muggle gov't,
wouldn't the Bulgarian boss man be Commissar of Magic rather than
Minister of Magic?
