There was silence for quite a number of months, then voices

[Neil Ward]

"Burglars, he thought ... but a split second later it occurred to him 
that burglars would keep their voices down, and whoever was moving 
around in the kitchen was certainly not troubling to do so."

To be honest, I'm in total awe of the Advance Guard partying in the 
kitchen. Gee, I've come over all shy...  

Some of you may be surprised to find that I exist outside the deep 
archives of HPfGU, to which my contributions were many and either 
rather insubstantial or wholly administrative. On the other hand, you 
may be thinking, "Who the hell is this guy and when is he going to 
start saying something profound about Snape's angst or the Half Blood 
Prince or Kreacher's inside leg measurement?"

I've fallen into disrepair over the last year, so please don't expect 
any top notch literary analysis or theories decorated with acronyms 
from me just yet. If at all. I may pipe up when I'm a bit deeper into 
my second reading of OoP.  

Magically,

P.S. Oh wow - my intro is the very first message on this board! 

I don't know why I'm acting surprised. I guess I should update it 
though. Let's see - I'm now 43 and I've finished reading those books.
