Maybe the Prince is Krum??
That'd be cool. And Hermione could smirk and Ron would have apoplexy. All good things.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

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."

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.

If I only had a brain...
A friend of mine suggested Flitwick (the goblin professor.)
I'm betting Viktor, the mysterious almost-evil Durmstrang kid. That would explain why the title was considered for Cauldron.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I thought it was Chamber of Secrets she'd almost used it for?
