Buffistas

I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Don't forget about the firewhiskey and wine drunk in DH, in addition to the mead in HBP.

I just read a drabble at Sugar Quill that had Neville learning from one of his students that the kid has a cousin named Neville (his aunt was a sixth year who fought at the Battle of Hogwarts). He, of course, being Neville, was flabbergasted at the tribute.

There's lots of flower names. Lily, Petunia, Narcissa, Lavender, Pansy

Feeling even more stupid by the minute.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Doesn't Dobby's wife get drunk on butterbeer, though? Would seem to indicate at least a little alcohol content.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Winky gets trashed on butterbeer. One of the kids says (roughly) "but that's not very strong stuff" "It is to a house elf"

So there's something to it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Poor Dobby.

I want a Petunia II and Lily II going to school together fic. RIGHT NOW.

Wrod. And yet, I want Lily II to be a vicious bitch and Petunia II to be a sweetheart. Because I'm... like that, apparently.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I want some of JZ's butterbeer.

Well, the butterbeer is certainly less alcoholic than the firewhiskey. (Hermione gets all "You. Are. A. PREFECT!" when Ron considers seeing if they can get served firewhiskey, but there isn't any problem with them drinking butterbeer.)

I thought of it as shandy-likt (half lager, half lemonade), which children drink all the time in England. Yes, it has alcohol, but a negligible amount

That's kind of what I was imagining. ETA: Now I want a shandy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What's everybody's fic wishlist then?

We've already seen desire for:

Neville, Ginny & Luna at Hogwarts during DH
Harry, Ron & Hermione returning for their 7th year
Dudley's daughter Petunia going to Hogwarts with Lilly

What else?
