Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

See, I was seeing Hermione more as the Wizarding World's Ed Danvers -- she is a Wizard attorney, right?

Ron is definitely Bayless.

Oh! hmmm...I went the easy route with the being a girl and the wild hair.

I don't really see Ron as Bayliss at all. Maybe Neville though.

I think Neville is the expert witness on Herbology that they pull in to resolve some sort of exotic poisoning case.

An HP fansite forum that I read occasionally (Sugar Quill) has been having fun turning all those hilarious "Chuck Norris will f--k you up!" type quotes into ones for Neville--"Draco's hairline wasn't receding, it was running away from Neville!", etc.

That Teddy Lupin fanfic I linked to yesterday just updated, and has Professor Longbottom leading the first-years in to the Sorting, a responsibility/honor given to him by his fellow teachers since he has the connection to the Sorting Hat.

Hermione m ight be more of a Russert than a Kay. I can see her being the first female Captain-equivalent that gets bumped down to Detective for insubordination.

"We know you were there, Malfoy. No one can induce that state of admiring terror in the house elves like you can."

"Of course I was there, Potter, I own the place. By the way, will we be seeing you and the lovely Ginevra at our annual Christmas Charity Ball, or shall I toss your invitation straight into the trash to save time?"

OH! I totally forgot about her. Perfect. Clearly I need to rewatch my Homicide.

I've never seen Homicide, I'm just working off of every hard-boiled detective show I've ever seen.

Who decided that detectives were like eggs, to be hard-boiled?
