A gauntlet thrown... and picked up.

May 06, 2005 22:05

I do believe it was Draco Malfoy who called me a "right little know-it-all", last night. He seems convinced that I have an answer for every question. To my great surprise, both Harry and Ron intimated that this was true. I believe their words - in one form or another - were "I really wouldn't ask her anything, she might just have an answer for you ( Read more... )

What in hell happened to my hair?

mostgiftedwitch May 6 2005, 20:24:32 UTC

A rather interesting question, to be sure... Did you shave it off, my lord?

eagle_of_words May 6 2005, 20:33:57 UTC

'Fraid not.

Then perhaps it is simply a case of genetic predisposition? Just like some of us are born with blue eyes and others are born with brown, some of us are - in our genetic make-up - predisposed to hair loss?

I have a question.

Shouldn't that whole "mudblood" thing be useless for a race insult? It's not like they all have a different skin colour or anything, they just have parents that don't have magic.

mostgiftedwitch May 6 2005, 20:37:05 UTC

A question with many layers indeed. To answer this question properly, one would have to delve into anthropology and history a bit. However, in the interest of expediency, I shall attempt to be brief ( ... )

Huh. OK.

So guess that some of the purebloods inbreed to keep their bloodlines strong? Like royal families?

mostgiftedwitch May 6 2005, 21:05:05 UTC

Exactly like that. For example? The Weasleys are a pureblood family. Had they opinions like the ones mentioned above (which, thankfully, they DON'T!) the relationship between Ron and myself would not be allowed, for I am muggle-born. And I don't even want to THINK what wizards like that would do with this baby I'm carrying!

Why don't I believe in anything except Enjolras?

mostgiftedwitch May 6 2005, 20:41:05 UTC

Because you refuse to believe in anything else? Or perhaps it is just because you drink too much and thus befuddle the mind.

*miserable* Pray, thou maiden, will my Lord e'er regain his senses?

mostgiftedwitch May 6 2005, 21:19:41 UTC

With plenty of rest, therapy and someone to love him... perhaps.

Ah! Here it is. An old man on a street corner yelled it out one day, and no one has ever answered it for me. Of course, I doubt he wanted an answer, but I have always found the answers to rhetorical questions to be the most interesting.

"What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"

mostgiftedwitch May 6 2005, 21:16:55 UTC

To some, a soul is only a part that can be bartered for something better. There are some in the wizarding world as well as the muggle world who care little for souls and all that "nonsense" and would rather have the world. Voldemort would be one of them, if you are looking for an example.

So depending on your frame of reference, the value of any part of your person is only what value you assign to it.
