It's certainly working.  I hope they "come out" in my lifetime!  I 
want a tour of Hogwarts before I die.  Unfortunately, I'm an HP 
'tweener; the only people who are my age are Bill and Charlie, and 
they just aren't my types.  But 8 years isn't too big a gap, right?

Yeah!  A blood relation, like his daughter.  And he can't counteract 
the magic because he's a Squib.  He's been taking Kwikspell courses 
feverishly ever since that tragic day, hoping he'll be able to learn 
enough to bring her back, and too proud to ask Dumbledore to remove 
the curse.  I'm not kidding; I think it fits his ornery character.

This out-of-character moment has bugged me ever since I first read it. 
 I like your explanation.  LOL to your filk, too, Pippin!

>Doreen, who has relatives who are Dementors-in-training

You mean people whose presence makes you relive the worst moments of 
your life and who suck all the happiness out of a room?  Sigh...yeah, 
I know what you mean.

Oh, boy, I'm ducking.  I don't want to be hit by crossfire on that 
one.  Magda, it'll be interesting to see whether 4 changes your mind.

from the pages of an unread HP?!)

I think Madam Pince must write them.  Or her magical 
signout-and-date-stamp quill (she's a busy woman).

BTW, someone (Ebony?) said Hermione's handwriting didn't look right.  
It's described as something like small and neat (beginning of PA, I 
think)--I pictured printing, not writing, but otherwise this is about 
what I figured.  What do you picture?

   "I've got two Neptunes here," said Harry after a while, frowning 
 down at his piece of parchment, "that can't be right, can it?"
   "Aaaaah," said Ron, imitating Professor Trelawney's mystical
 whisper, "when two Neptunes appear in the sky, it is a sure sign
 that a midget in glasses is being born, Harry. . . ."
