Up until the last century?   Millions.  :-)  Marvin initiated a very 
interesting conversation about what the wizarding world was like... 
we think that it's both similar and dissimilar to our own.  

If one argues that it is more traditional (i.e. "they're just kids--
they're not late bloomers at all"), then the conclusion can be drawn 
that traditional patterns of mating *could* apply.

As for my fanfic, it's not a fic for fic's sake at all... it's a 
science project.

And every experiment done according to the scientific method has 
controlled variables.

Interesting--we H/Hers get heat from the R/Hers *and* the no-
shippers.  ::::wails::::  No one likes us!

That's probably because we're right.
