Kelley:
Yes, that's what I was wondering; a 'working' title, as 'Doomspell'
was. And, of course, 'Doomspell' isn't what made the final cut. I
very much like the idea of going into a 'new' magical world.

Kelley:
Thanks for the assistance, Nick. This was the passage that Scott
found, too. Well, heck, I was sure it was in there somewhere.
~Where~ did I get that from??? (At least I can take comfort in the
fact that Scott was thinking the same thing. I am not alone in my
madness.) <g>

Okay. This is really bizarre. Am I just making these things
up? ;o] I cannot figure out why I believed these points...

Kelley:
Yes, that idea has been bandied about. And, don't forget, Dumble's
hair used to be red (auburn) too... Since we've learned Lily's name
was once Evans, do we agree that that's all there is to it? She's a
muggle-born witch, just like Hermione?

Good, I at least got one out of three... Maybe I should just hang it
up now. Doesn't seem as though I'm improving at all. ;oD
Thanks again, Nick.
