wacking one's head on one's desk repeatedly does nothing but murder innocent brain cells
as Homer Simpson once so eloquently stated: I hope I didn't brain my damage
thanks to
sam_storyteller (and I'm wary of giving that link so openly but, meh, what can ya do?), I now want to write read a Harry Potter Lacaoon's Children/Ender's Game crossover. Harry, Draco, and Padma would be Ender, Bean, and Petra. Snape would be Rackham (I think that's how you spell his name). Dumbledore would be General Graff. I have no idea in hell how the other characters would fit in, although for a moment I saw Collin as Bean (but where's that leave Draco? Crazy Tom? No...probably one of the other squadrant leaders, though...it works since they're all in different houses/squadrants/launchie groups here), Oliver as Alai, Bellatrix as Stenson, and Quirrel as Bonzo...if you squint your eyes you can almost see Dudley or even Vernon as Peter and Dora as Valentine, but you really, really have to squint...
Snape could be queen of the buggers in canon
well, I never claimed to be sane anyway, so...
but in my defense, I wasn't the only one who read Oliver calling Harry "firstie" as Oliver calling Harry "launchie" in Year One
anyway - ta!
