Skip Wiley (Tourist Season, by Carl Hiaasen)

Skip drops into a chair out of nowhere. He glances with some puzzlement at the hole in his jeans, but appears to decide it's not important. Having nothing better to do, he readies himself to answer the questions put to him.

The Miami Sun was a sort of broadsheet or journal, then?

[flameofdecember]

A newspaper, yeah. I was an editorial columnist there.

[estebanmd]

Ah. What sorts of material did you write about?

[flameofdecember]

Mostly how messed up the world was getting, especially Florida. I believe that the psychiatrist said he could tell I was insane starting around the hurricane column.

Nihil sub sole novum. There is nothing new under the sun. We have another journalist here, called Spider Jerusalem; perhaps you will meet him. I am Dr Maturin, the potions master. To which House do you feel you are best suited?

[flameofdecember]

Perhaps I will meet Mr. Jerusalem at some point. I'm pleased to meet you, doctor.

From what I've heard of the Houses, Slytherin seem like the best fit for me.

Then Slytherin it shall be. Welcome to Hogwarts.
