Um... I did tell him once that if he shaved his beard I would leave him.
Remind me to give you notice when Bears are having their next shindig in the Castro.
I can beat up demons until the cows come home, and then I can beat up the cows.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hey, I like Hagrid. He loves all the ugly animals no one else likes and is incredibly loyal. Despite his lack of smarts, I'd hang out in his cottage and have a cup of tea with him.

The animals which continually endanger everybody? Btw, he was a crap teacher too.

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

And DIE unless Harry saved you.

Not always, sometimes they save the day.

Ptui on the rwo of oyu,. Hagrid is no more dangerous to his friends than the Weasley twins--and with less malice.

Oh come on! The twins gave Harry the map. For that alone they're plus 10 against Voldemort. They're smart and sneaky and they'll come in handy in the big fight. Hagrid hasn't done anything useful since he put tail on a Dursley.
Undoubtedly Hagrid will muster a flock of Dragons and horde of spiders for the finale and go down tooth and claw. Then he'll go back to achieving neutral usefulness.

Speaking of names, I got lucky with Sara. My mom's name is Sara (though, being a child of the fifties, she was always Sally), but so is Sara Crewe's, the one character that inspired me to name a child after her. My mom doesn't know that part, though.

Everyone seems to assume that Esme (one of Lillian's middle names) is a Pratchett nod, when it's actually a family name I've wanted to use on a child since sometime in the 80s, before I'd every heard of, let alone read, Pratchett.
That said, the association's not at all a negative one, and may be why Paul agreed to the name in the first place.

My girls will be tortured with the middle name of Rae. And they'll like it.
