Paige Woods' Reply: 
 I hate it when she does that! More when I feel stupid when I didn't catch tiny words like "wasp". Geez. It annoys me, and yet it inspires me to use words as hints like JKR in my own writing. Off topic, I know, but maybe Dumbledore *can* turn into a bee or wasp. If only Hermione can tell us all we want/need know! 

 There was a discussion connecting Ginny to a cat, and I found a clue. But let me re-read the rest of the book before I put that clue up so I can put all of the clues up at once.
