<Cassie also cries "Foul!" Hermione hardly limits her glaring at Ron
to the times when he's goggling at Fleur. She glares at him * plenty*
in Books 1- 3, when there is no Fleur, not even counting the times he
makes her cry.>

MC would also cry "Foul!", but it's becoming overdone. Hermione is a master 
employer of the glare. It's just a trademark thing. I do think there is some 
significance in the fact that she glares at Fleur right then, but the girl * 
does * glare an awful lot.

About the whole KKK D/Hr thing - gah. Not at all, really. Draco is born into 
an uppity family where you just don't except those that are different. If 
you want to compare it to a black/white thing, it's more like a southern 
belle from the old south falling in love with a black man. Not that I'm 
saying Draco is anything like a southern belle...bad mental image.

Psst, Cass - seventy bucks if Emily and Ben have a wild affair!
