The Grey Shadow stops his tireless persecution of Tabouli's good ship, 
a wolfish grin spreading in his muzzle and a strange sparkle on his 
eyes. A challenge! Wolves love to play, and he's not the one to back 
down such a graceful offer. Seconded, too! 

Which means: I'm giving it a try. How does this look:
G.A.N.G.S. (Ginny And Neville: Great Sorcerers)
or better yet
G.A.N.G. W.A.R.S. (Ginny And Neville, Great Wizards, Always Remain 
Secretive)
or best:
G.A.N.G. W.A.R. U.P.H.E.A.V.A.L.S. (Ginny And Neville, Great Wizards, 
Always Remain Undercover Protecting Harry's Exploits, Although Visibly 
Are Largely Squibs).

Of course, as soon as Tobouli straightens out her problems with the 
I-net conection, she's going to use MAGI to develop a much better 
acronym, so all this work was probably worthless anyway, but it was 
fun:

However, if the paws of the wolf are behind her incarceration, he has made one fatal error.  The MAGI (Magnificent Acronym Generating Instrument) is out of his reach, locked in the chamber with her.<snip>

Three things, Tabouli. (1) I hope your ISP problems are solved soon, 
else the Grey Wolf will soon dominate the Acronyms Services of this web 
(and a great loss that would be, since my acronyms tend to be quite a 
bit more forced -probably due to the fact that I'm working in an alien 
language)

(2) Ever watched Evangelion? If not, you just made an unintentional but 
very appropiate parallelism between that series super-computer and your 
own MAGI. I loved it, even if it you didn't notice, though.

(3) Do you relly think a half-wolf such as an Irish wolfhound is going 
to catch up with me? I thought you held more faith in my capabilities. 
I'll just have to demonstrate further, I suppose.

With a last howl, the great wolf stood on his feet once more and, with 
no apparent effort, threw himself once again into the chase, forever 
shadowing the ship, waiting for that fatal flaw that would allow him to 
jump aboard and discover it's inner secrets...

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf
