Internet Discussion #303: Mean Girls In High School.
Aha! I parry with discussion #471 -- When Does Naughty Become Bad, and Bad Evil?
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

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.

If I only had a brain...
Ooh. That sounds like a fun discussion.
I mean, "naughty" is pretty much a compliment nowadays.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
When Does Naughty Become Bad
Killing animals.
and Bad Evil?
Killing people.
It's a black-and-white world, but it's easy to navigate.

See -- most high school isn't that evil after all.

Draco would have sent Buckbeak to his feathery death, though.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
High-schoolers aren't that evil.
Middle-school girls, on the other hand, have a capacity for evil greater than everything right on up to the edge of Godwin's Law.

Maybe he'll be Evil next book.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
He wished Hermione would die in CoS. Does that count?

Then damn us all to hell.
Or just me a whole bunch of times.

ita is dead to me. Again.
I've had a long fannish discussion, and I am convinced Hagrid should be fired over the Buckbeak affair. Draco said something snarky to the hippogriff -- which he hadn't been warned against doing -- and suffered a life-threatening attack. Hagrid has no concept whatever of student safety. If a shop teacher had the injury rate we see in Hagrid's class, he'd be fired.
