OOh. I want those. I feel like Fay has first dibs though.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

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."

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
You go for it, love. I can't get 'em, 'cause I don't have a credit card. But I can admire them from a distance.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My problem with the Snape thing is that I'm mostly just tired of Dumbledore swearing up and down the he trusts Snape, without telling anyone why. Maybe she'll explain why telling Harry would have been a Very Bad Thing, but I'll take some convincing (And is there no one else in the Order he can trust with the info, so that, if he dies, it's not lost, and just an issue of faith in Dumbledore). I'm tired of it, and I feel like it's been beaten into the ground, and can't possibly live up to the amount of time she's spent hammering "not evil, just an asshole"

Or I could buy them both and then send you one if you send me a mailing address.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dumbledore's the king of not explaining things, though. It's one big reason I don't like him.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Anne, that sounds cool.
Debet, I hear you. We'll see.

Perkins, you are an angel, but I couldn't put you to such trouble.
...otoh, I may end up using my Dad's Paypal account to buy a Ravenclaw patch, or an Atlantis Patch. Or, and this one REALLY tempts me, a Wormhole Extreme patch.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Debet the pensive will be able to convince anyone of whatever the Snape agreement was. And we don't know that some other member of the order isn't in on the secret -- we just haven't seen that one is.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Trudy, that's about the only solution I can come up with that satisfies me at all, but it had better happen within the first half, and, preferably, the first 1/3 of the book. And only the first option is...uncontrovertable enough for the situation, IMO. Either that or a painting.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Google defaults to and.
It's not there for the AND ability, but to insist that both words MUST be in the result. Just as you use the minus sign to remove similar but wrong results.
Though, of course, you know much more about this than I do, but that's what I recalled from advanced query stuff.
