Packing up and off to James' tomorrow on the train. May Remus have fun with his fifth year minions while we are gone, and hopefully Peter won't eat the whole kitchen, either ( Read more... )

BOOK! Really, really lovely book. I didn't realize so many Muggles had managed to affect wizarding society. You're very lucky none of that candy got on it, but I don't mind you included them. Not at all.

Perhaps I'll only attempt revenge on James.

Eee. Shall spend the rest of tonight reading.

Now really, Minda. You go around exacting revenge on James but not on Sirius, and fairly soon you'll have both of them thinking you favor them in some way. Single either one of those two out, and they'll think the sun shines out of ... well, you know.

However, if you'd like, I'm sure I could arrange for something small, harmless, and exceedingly embarassing to happen to James. Not that I really think you should be too indignant over a little change in hair-color -- God knows it's happened to Peter and I, not to mention the majority of Gryffindor house, more than once -- but if you really would like James to recieve some sort of punishment, I'm sure something could be arranged.

Also, have you gotten the present I sent you? It's a collection of a Muggle comic strip called "Peanuts" I discovered over the summer, and as you like Muggle things, I thought you'd enjoy it. (Though the whole idea of baseball puzzles me greatly. It's even stranger than Quadpot.)

Oh, I suppose you're right. I will have to punish both of them, but I still suspect this was more James's plan than Sirius's. If you'd take care of James-- I'd love that-- I will exact revenge on Sirius.

And it wasn't just hair color. They neglected to mention the other bit, I see, and I'm not going to go into it.

However, after the rather serious tome Sirius gave me, the "Peanuts" comics were exceedingly delightful. I've been reading them on and off this afternoon since classes got out. Break! Finally!

Remind me to explain baseball sometime over the break. And once the blizzard stops, we can enchant snowmen.

I find the way your House common room works absolutely fascinating. Helga must have been brilliant. Hiding her badgers in a very safe den...

If you're not too protective of it, I'd be delighted if you'd let me look at that copy of Midsummer sometime. It sounds hilarious.

However...I can think of someone (who shall remain Josh Mittelmann) whom it would fit to a T. Now I just have to find a way of getting him to try it on.

If you're serious about that, please be careful.

After I read it myself, sure. I will want it back, of course. (Auberon's and Titania's annotations differ in almost every respect. I'm looking at Act II, Scene 1, now, when Oberon and Titania meet in the wood and start arguing with each other in coldly polite rhyming words. I can just feel the air crackling as they talk.)

If you're serious about that, please be careful.Actually, I'm daydreaming. I'm not a great prankster, Minda, you know that. Being the youngest of four either makes you a brilliant prankster or kills any taste you have for pulling practical jokes ( ... )
