SUDDENLY: MISTLETOE.

[fu_noobspeaker]

Well gosh! It's all so festive, y'all!

[TODAY, there is mistletoe everywhere. Hanging over obnoxious cabin overhangs, planted in inappropriate spots in the mess hall, twisted around various poles and the few trees in farm camp - you name it, you can probably find it there.

happy holidays. :') ]

Sometimes, I think it is a very, very good thing Voldemort has never found out about this place.

I don't even want to think of the possibilities.

I would like to think that the woman in charge here could handle him.

...It's an interesting mental image, I'll give you that.

[we sure are doing a good job not talking about those plants over our heads]

If I could bottle some of this up, I bet George could make a killing with it. Genderswitching and turning into small animals and all that. I bet he'd like it too, right about now.

I hadn't thought about it that way before, but now that you mention it, it does sound like it'd be right up his alley, doesn't it?

[livedtwice]

All of it, really. He'd even like the mistletoe. Truthfully, I'm surprised it wasn't lying around Hogwarts before we even ended up here.

[wellgrounded]

I'm sure someone's come up with the idea of enchanting it for a practical joke before.

It's only this time that we don't have any sort of countermeasure.

Maybe you should spend the month looking for one. You are rather brilliant, aren't you? If anyone can, it's you.

[wellgrounded]

[okay while she's still kind of down that definitely makes her feel a little pride]

Well, of course. I'd been thinking that exactly.

[livedtwice]

And it's more than all right if you start now.

[wellgrounded]

Oh, I'm trying. Counterspells aren't instant, you know.
