No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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."

Ann, that's a ferret.

But now that it's clear that V has returned, the tension with the Ministry will change. It's going to be more of a turf battle for control of the anti-V forces. (Well, unless the Ministry joins V. But I think that's unlikely.)

Percy's death might be a little heavy-handed but could fit either redemption or inner conflict.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

If Neville or either of the twins dies, I will throw a temper tantrum. I highly doubt she'll kill either Hermione or Ron, and I'm not terribly invested in anyone else.

If not Ron, then both of those obnoxious twins could get sucked into a jet or something.

If I only had a brain...

Okay, she can kill both of the twins, thus satisfying both Kate and me.

No! I said I would be affected by their deaths, not satisfied. I very much want them to live.

Well, you said you'd be upset if she killed one. I figure killing two isn't covered by that statement.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

If the company the twins started is succesful, my kittens are on the twins buying it. If they squandered the money Harry gave them, I expect they'll survive.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What about Mom or Dad Weasley? That would suck in a heartbreaking kinda way.

Another social casualty...

I wanted to thank everybody for the rec for The Time-Traveler's Wife. I borrowed it from the libray a week ago, and I plowed through it over the weekend. I could not put it down. I was a wreck when I finished it. It was an unusal way of looking at an old idea, and she seemed to have really thought about her premise in great deal.

I must now buy it.
