Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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

Closed Threads

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."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Snape's hate of Harry, Our Hero, is one of the most clever things in the books. It's refreshing to have major allies dislike each other so much.

The more I read of Harry? The more I sympathise with Snape. Seriously, I've not seen a kid in more need of a smack upside the head.

(I also have suspicions that Dumbledore isn't as pure as we've been led to believe, but argument for that is kind of flimsy.)

I'm still enamored of the Dumbledore-is-Ron theory.

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

Snape hating Harry has never struck me as clever. It's just...there. If I can't have a reason for it (even if it's "that's just how Snape is"), I'd at least like to know why he gets away with it in loco parentis.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If Draco's got Muggle blood in him, seems like the Malfoy side is more likely, since Narcissa's a Black and we know an awful lot about that family tree.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hell, yeah. And, as irritatingly written as it was in OoP, I like that James-at-Hogwarts was kind of a jackass, and that Snape was just the nerd he picked on.

If I only had a brain...

Nobody at Hogwarts would be hired in a decent teaching institution. Well, maybe Madam Pomfret. But Snape? Hagrid? Trelawney? Forget. It.

Jumping outside the frame, Snape is a classic character in British school stories: the Cruel Teacher With Invaluable Expertise. He shows up in Stalky And Company.

If they named it properly, Hogwarts would be Dumbledore's Asylum for the Dubiously Competent.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just read Harry as being a kid, but with more power than most and more pressures and attention. No more annoying than many teenagery kids, but with tons more emotional angst.

If Snape was a big nerd, wouldn't Hermione be the closest to him now and if James was an ass, wouldn't Draco be the closest.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

If they named it properly, Hogwarts would be Dumbledore's Asylum for the Dubiously Competent.

Snerk! Betsy, may I tag?
