This post has nothing to do with boobs
But, oh, how I love that icon. It's like Peter Dinklage isn't even aware he's next to boobs.
The Dresden Files/Harry Potter story is now 5500+ words and about to get longer. leaper182 has been brave enough to offer to beta, and she's already earned her weight in praise, having asked for clarification on one of the crackier conversations between Harry, Harry, Snape, and Bob [great law firm name, no?]. I want to explain why Dresden [specifically TV Dresden] works his mojo differently than Harry. The answer? Biology!
I'm in Bio 101 this semester to knock a D off my transcript [and will have to sit through Bio 102 next semester because it's a requirement], and my prof recently covered how certain genetic groups function. One of the topics was gene flow. In short, if you have gene A, and someone else has gene A-1 [mmm, steaky!], and the gene A-1 person moves across the country, the chance anyone else in your area will end up with gene A-1 is pretty much nonexistent. However, a whole group of people with gene A-1 could crop up across the country because the person with the A-1 set up shop and family there.
Slightly oversimplified, yes, but my main theory is this: Dresden's powers can be used without a wand because a genetic mutation in the wizarding population caused some wizards to require a wand and some wizards to not have the same need for controlling their power through wand work. The wizards who didn't absolutely require wands ended up immigrating to the States way back in the day, and thus the Dresden-type magic was born.
And now, off to continue to expand on that topic!
