Mal ,'War Stories'
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."
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'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.

that sounds vaguely familiar. is it new?
New-ish; it came out last year.
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.
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.
I thought it was Chamber of Secrets she'd almost used it for?
Flitwick's a goblin? Huh. I mean, I know he's small, but I don't think he's a goblin. He's an awfully good-natured one, if that's the case.
I'm assuming that before she finally plotted out what she ended up renaming ... right? Since it has a lack of princeliness. So it could still be Hagrid, or something, and just royalty deferred.
I'm thinking too hard with too little data.
It's making me light-headed.
