I wonder. I mean, I'd like it to be some sort of big cat, like a leopard. or maybe a raven or a stallion. But, I wonder what my true inner self would produce?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, that's the thing. Like, I don't think a cow really represents my actual personality at all.

Hey. New board.

Oooh! Fun game!

Mine would be... um. You know what I'd most want it to be because I just read Alice in Wonderland? A Cheshire Cat. Stuck in the grin phase.

Dementors: WTF it's a giant smile! Run!

Then again, it's not like a frickin' doe really defined Snape in any way.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Would a Patronus be less effective if it were some slow animal? Like a giant turtle or sloth?

It represented his love for Lily -- I bet it was her patronus too (or something.)

I think that Harry says in his final showdown with Voldemort that Lily's Patronus was a doe.

In more post-DH fic recs, I like this post-battle fic (not too long, but very well-written).

I was thinking the same thing, tommyrot. I don't see a slow, plodding cow being very effective at scaring dementors.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, Kathy, that was a lovely fic. Thank you!
