Potioncat:
First, uh, I was going to suggest the owls were because
 1) Folklore considers them bad news, making them perfect for 
magical communication and
 2) In T.H. White's books, Merlyn kept a pet owl who could talk to 
him...but, uh, I can't think of anyway to make it funny, or clever 
or filled with innuendo. So, erm well...

Hi,
I was invited to join this group last fall just as I had convinced 
myself to stop spending so much time on Harry Potter. But when I saw 
who was over here...well, I couldn't refuse. I am honored to be 
invited and wonder if it wasn't a mistake? (Too late,I know the 
address!) 

At the same time I became involved with a nefarious bunch of HP fans 
who have kept me pretty busy reading old posts. So, while I had a 
TOC membership card, I rarely visited and lurked at that. But 
now I'm ready to say hello.

I'm a nurse by education and a homemaker by choice. I have to admit 
I'm sort of a cross between Pomfrey and Molly. My kids call me a 
Potterhead and my husband thinks I have a cyber-boyfriend. I've 
written fanfiction but really prefer arguing HP details.  My aunt 
was a seer, she always said "Kathy, you would argue with a post!

What I like most about this site is that I can take several days to 
think of a snappy reply to a thread...and still post it in a timely 
manner.

Kathy/Potioncat, looking forward to joining in.
