We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Her world sometimes makes my head hurt.

No effing kidding. I think she needs to release a big ole flow chart for the adult fans when she's done. I'm sick of asking my 12 year old cousin questions. Bad enough he makes fun of me for not knowing how to work my digital camera.

Aimee's mind is even more disturbing.

Yes, yes it is.

Maybe the Prince is Krum??

That'd be cool. And Hermione could smirk and Ron would have apoplexy. All good things.

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

Ron would have apoplexy.

Would this make him bug his eyes out MORE?

Herding cats for fun

Plus, he'd turn red and then stomp off in a huff. Cool.

Edit:

(Yes, I'm still clinging to the notion that Petunia is a Squib. Also, that Lily and Snape were involved, and that her eventually rejection of him caused him to join the Death Eaters. What? Stop looking at me like that ...)

Love this... except tiny brain cannot remember, what is a Squib?

Plus, how does it work with the different schools? Do some people get acceptance letters from Hogwarts and Durmstrang and Beaubaxtons?

probably regional. like you have to go to PS182 if you live between Elm and Oak Streets.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

I'm with Vortex - I assumed that wizarding sprogs from central Europe went to Durmstrang and Beauxbatons was for the French.

In somewhat-related news, I just finished a YA book called A School for Sorcery which was not all that great, despite a promising blurb from Joan Aiken. Some original ideas, but strange pacing (three years go by in fits and starts) and the plot gets very confusing towards the end. It's certainly not a patch on A College of Magics.

New-ish; it came out last year.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

what is a Squib?

A non-magical child in a magical family. They thought Neville was a Squib until someone threw him out a window and he levitated. Or something. Neville's family is weird.
