They're adorable. One of them likes to perch on my shoulder while I write because the movement of my fingers is like magic while the other curls up under my laptop <3

Lol, Rise of the Guardians. That movie is adorable. When I came back from Thailand, my sister was like "you're going to sit here and watch it and write fic about it for me" - but she ships Bunny/Jack and I lean more towards Pitch/Jack so it hasn't happened yet XD Not to mention I keep adding more and more things on to the list...

I hadn't really participated in challenges before this year. Now everything I write seems to revolve around them.

It does make sense that Sprout would be the one to supply all that, which kind of makes you wonder if that's what she bases her lessons on. I mean, we see the Mandrakes, but what about the rest of the time? Either that or there's got to be some extra greenhouses that the students don't see. Stocking the Potions lab would be a full time job all on its own!

I like that idea. I hadn't thought of it that way. I think part of my problem is that the Hogwarts described in the books isn't a 10th century British castle. I mean, that was probably the logic behind whatever system they were introduced under, but it probably didn't belong to the Founders - they're a later addition, which kind of makes you wonder what the original defences there were. Which is part of my other architectural problem: no one found the Chamber of Secrets except Tom Riddle in all that time? Really? When indoor plumbing wasn't a thing for most of Hogwarts's history, and the Chamber being there meant that the sink it was under couldn't work?

Wow, yeah. Voldemort would have had a hold of it with Quirrell. He probably did a lot of looking into Cerberuses and used it to give him time to hunt down a dragon egg. I love the idea of Barty going out and exploring the world again. It's kind of sad, in a way.
