But it IS a private
(private...public...er...which one's
the British version?) boarding school.
Most of these have uniforms...at least
the private day schools I attended did.

I could see them wearing muggle clothes
under their robes during the "off
hours" but not during the school day.

And while I prefer to think of them
lounging around the common room in
their normal wear (jumpers, trousers,
what have you) and throwing on their
robes only when heading into the school
proper (sort of like you would with a
job uniform, such as when I wore a lab
jacket. I didn't wear it unless outside
the back rooms), Harry mentions in GoF
that he's seen the Weasley children
wear muggle clothing during the
holidays, indicating they don't wear
them during the in session portion of
the school year.

was five.  I have it all planned,
invitations, cake,  heck I even know
what flatware to use.  I'm twenty-three
now, and I'm watching those dreams go
up in flames.  All because I'm a
lesbian, a second class citizen.
