This week is restaurant week in NYC, with $20 lunches and $30 dinners at some of the city's very best and most expensive restaurants. Today Kim and I went out and had lunch at a really nice place in Clinton (ok... Hell's Kitchen). Best salmon I've ever tasted. Kim looked absolutely gorgeous and was walking on air after buying a really cute summer dress on sale. I love it when she's loving the world... Her smiles make it a much brighter place.
California awaits!
I'm reading HP 5 furiously to prepare for July 17... Kim's fascinating theory: Ginny is an animagus. Check it out. Is Harry a metamorphmagus? Maybe not, but remember how his hair always used to grow back? Interesting thought.
" The instrument tinkled into life at once with rhythmic clinking noises. Tiny puffs of pale green smoke issued from the miniscule silver tube at the top. Dumbledore watched the smoke closely, his brow furrowed, and after a few seconds, the tiny puffs became a steady stream of smoke that thickened and coiled in the air.... A serpent's head grow out of the end of it, opening its mouth wide. Harry wondered whether the instrument was confirming his story: He looked eagerly at Dumbledore for a sign that he was right, but Dumbledore did not look up.
" 'Naturally, naturally,' murmured Dumbledore apparently to himself, still observingt the stream of smoke without the slightest sign of surprise. 'But in essense divided?'
" Harry could make neither head nor tail of this question. The smoke serpent, however, split itself instantly into two snakes, both coiling and undulating in the dark air. With a look of grim satisfaction Dumbledore gave the instrument another gentle tap with his wand: The clinking noise slowed and died, and the smoke serpents grew faint, became a formless haze, and vanished."
Is this just Dumbledore realizing that Harry and Voldemort are connected? "In essense divided" is a real puzzler...
