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.

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

(I'd be interested to see something in the HP Wizarding World that incorporated the Prague Golem, myself.)

I'm almost positive I've seen this.

Yes: [link]

(I didn't read the whole thing. The combination of religious stuff with Harry/Snape was too weird, and I had to close it before my brain exploded. Totally my own issue.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, that's a great story. But yes, wholeheartedly slashy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmm. Occurs to me now that the interjection is "Bollocks!" and I never thought about spelling the verb.

hip deep in pie

Okay, not the movies thread but I just watched Goblet of Fire. I totally didn't realize that David Tennant was Barty Crouch Jr.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I know! How many actors have transformation scenes in both of their biggest projects?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I don't have my copy of DH with me right now, but does it say what color Lily Potter's eyes are? Harry's daughter.

Art Crawl!!!

I can't remember whether it does.

Just make them green.

See, that's the thing. I want them to be brown, like Ginny's.

Petunia's getting Aunt Lily's eyes.

It's gonna play into Lily's feelings of having to fit into her grandmother's shoes.

Okay, I would guess that green and brown would likely give you brown because I think that green is actually brown with a modifier that makes it lighter. Like a dilution of brown.

Punishingly Intricate

but does it say what color Lily Potter's eyes are? Harry's daughter.

Aren't the younger son's eyes noted as being the only ones like Harry's/his mother's of ther the three children?
