Oh, I saw that Padma and I do sympathize. I think you should be quite proud of knowing as much as you do. Don't listen to Seamus. Should Harry and Malfoy ever want to have a child one day, well, now they know they can if they really want to.
Thank you Lavender. Sometimes I think only you and Vati really know what it's like to be treated badly because of something you know and share with others.
Hm, the more you know, the less people seem to listen to you. To my experience anyway. I mean, people never listen to the knowledgeable person and always end up having aliens eat them or meteors smash them in those Muggle movemees my Nan used to love to watch.
Bit of advice, Padma. Telling a bloke he can become pregnant is scary beyond all reason.
And don't listen to Hollywood versions of legends; people don't really believe poltergeists suck them into televisions... Muggles aren't ridiculous, you know; there's nothing silly about my folks.
You don't get boggarts in Muggle communities much; they don't like places where people dismiss them as figments of their imaginations.
Well it's not like it can happen accidentily Justin! He has to TAKE the potion himself. Well. Unless someone else slipped it to him or something. But I doubt that happens often.
What about the Loch Ness Monster then? That seems awfully silly to me. Everyone knows it's just a Kelpie or something. Not some prehistoric beast.
I'm sure your folks are very reasonable people; it's just incredibly funny to see the muggles who really do believe that about magic and such.
It's still scary! Our bodies aren't built for that sort of thing. I mean, what, do you change into a woman temporarily for that thing? And if not, how do you get the embryo, since that comes from a woman's body and not a man's? How would you combine two male sets of genetics, anyway? And since the x and y chromosones determine gender, what would happen if both males gave a 'y' chromosone? Would there be a new gender to deal with? Boys and girls are confusing enough on their own; I don't think I'd want to deal with an entirely new sex.
Nessie? Most Muggles believe that it's a hoax built up into paranoia. Most don't seriously believe all that hype, nor about yetis or the like. You've got your mad folk who'll believe the strangest things among Muggles just like you do among Wizards. And then you have some who just like to believe in possibilities: not that there's a prehistoric beast in a Scottish lake, perhaps, but that there are things out there that haven't been discovered yet. It's just the mystery of it all.
Actually, from the description of what happens when a man ingests the potion, I'd say you're spot on with the sex change thing. A little womb forms, and the man's sperm seem to mutate or something. I'm not really clear on the details. The bloke in the picture seemed to be in a bit of pain during that part though. But the baby has to be cut out because the man doesn't lose his...you know...bits..for the duration of the pregnancy. But I don't think a y and a y would ever pair, because like I said, the sperm mutates. But there were only two instances of it actually working that the book described, and both cases produced male children. So. Yes. There you have it.
I was so disturbed when I read that last night. I mean, don't get me wrong: helping people is great and all, but REALLY. The whole thing was frightening. ESPECIALLY pairing poor Harry with Malfoy.
Excuse me, Neville. I was not the one responsible for pairing Harry and Draco. I simply gave some information on why it is indeed possible for them to have children if they ever felt the need to.
Still. I should hope that whichever girl they're involved with when they want kids isn't barren, because now they know they can just get some guy to.. you know.. impregnate them and whatnot. I'm pretty sure Malfoy'd do it. What with keeping the Purebloodedness going throughout their family line.

It's all quite weird. Muggles are a tad insane. I think it's because they don't have magic.
