Heidi: "1. Is Draco sexy?" 
Caius: "No" 
Simon: "I have to agree here! Now if we were to ask if Ginny (in a 
certain picture findable on the PoU group) or Fleur are sexy then 
quite clearly the answer would be yes!"
Cass: "Can I just say that Dr. Simon Branford is going to suffer for 
that?"

Another threat! Am I going to get chucked in that cell with Lupin?


Neil: "I wonder if we can get through this without mention of leather 
trousers?"
Simon:  "I think we failed by you mentioning them (and especially by 
me then replying!). I get back from a few weeks away and in fan 
fiction land there are mentions of males walking around in boxer 
shorts (and less) and Draco having a sponge bath. Will people just 
face up to the possibility that he is a scumbag? 
Cass: "But it's much more fun to imagine that he isn't. <g> And I 
quite liked Alicia's boxer shorts story. Why shouldn't there be 
a "sansvetements!" spell? In my own defense I discovered while 
searching the Draco egroup messages to see if anyone there had come 
up with a positive characteristic for Draco, that I didn't invent the 
Draco in leather thing. It appears to have been a fixation for quite 
some time. Whole threads are taken up with what kind of leather 
trousers they would be – cut, color, fit, the works. <g>
Apparently I 
am not as weird as I once thought."

No. It just means that there are lots of other weird people out 
there! A think a certain author has a lot to answer for, in writting 
a bad kid who everyone (well lots of people) in fan fic land seems to 
think will be redeemed and be near perfect in the end.
