Agreed. Why didn't he and Ron swith out of Divination for year 4? 
Clearly they hate it! Or are you committed to your electives once you 
choose them? But Hermione dropped hers...

Crookshanks as well?

I submit HINDFEET (if it's not already taken): Hermione Is Not 
Destined For Emotional Ego-building Trophy-dom

There is hope for all of us. Except maybe Pansy.

I have so many ideas, but none that hold water. i prefer to be 
surprised. I maintain that Harry must live, however!

Again, Hermione is *not* an ego-boosting consolation prize! She is 
free to make her own decisions. Ron may like her, but the jury is 
still out on how she feels.

I'm going with the idea that gold cannot be reproduced. I like 
that.

Keeper. I'm afraid of heights, though, so I probably couldn't even do 
that. Still, Keeper involves the least flying around, and I could 
only be attacked if the Quaffle was in the scoring area.

Ginny has not yet developed a character of her own. Now, I am *not* 
necessarily a G/H shipper, but I think in any case we need to know 
this little Weasley better.
