Ceridwen:
I'd think the Dementors are breeding everywhere.  (What am I saying?  
that's exactly what I thought!)

Ceridwen:
I read that, and bookmarked it.  I've been looking for just that sort 
of thing.  I know someone on the list (Geoff?) posted something 
similar, but I'm not sure now where it is.

I did find a nice little seaside town called Budleigh Salterton on 
the internet.  Lots of otter references in the area, including the 
river.  A mill in a nearby town, but I think it was a flour mill.  
Well, that's why one posts one's thoughts - to get more information.  
Right?

Ceridwen:
I was certain he saw something out the window.  Or, someone.  Maybe 
PP, but as you say, why did he leave the house when Snape had 
interesting guests?

That's why I thought it might be Dumbledore and Harry that he saw.  
Coming, or going.  I do think he saw something outside, though, that 
made him change the way the conversation was going.

Ceridwen:
I forgot about that!  Lots of comings and goings in the beginning of 
the book.
