Me:
Why can't a Gryffindor be ESE? I don't think Percy is; in fact, I 
quite agree with your likening of him to Quirrell. Still, I see no 
reason that brave and evil are incompatible traits, just as I think 
one can be intelligent and evil. I even think you could be loyal and 
evil -- it depends to whom you're loyal. You could also be loyal and 
not evil per se, but be driven to evil deeds because of your 
loyalty. In any case, as I've said before, I think ESE-ness 
transcends house.

Me:
This seriously chilled me, probably because I think it's so likely. 
Just the description, though . . . eek! I'm going to go sit in the 
corner and think comforting thoughts now. And feel bad for Arthur 
and Molly. Really, really bad.

seems to have fallen into it nevertheless

P.S. On a weird note: the original subject line (Scabbers/Percy) 
made me go, "No. Tell me this person isn't championing evil!rat!
Animagus and misguided!bighead!Percy slash. Ewwwwww." Did anyone 
else have that reaction, or am I just bizarre? Just weird? Yeah, I 
thought so.
