lls_mutantHeaded away for the next five days, so happy Fouth of July to anyone who celebrates it early! Blow lots of things up ;)
Random comment here: I was reading over the HPfGU list and came across something I'd either not seen or forgotten on JKR's website:
From the bit on the first chapter of PS under Extra Stuff:
Other drafts included a character by the name of 'Pyrites', whose name means 'fool's gold'. He was a servant of Voldemort's and was meeting Sirius in front of the Potters' house. Pyrites, too, had to be discarded, though I quite liked him as a character; he was a dandy and wore white silk gloves, which I thought I might stain artistically with blood from time to time.
Is it just me, or do the slasher's wheels start churning as to why Sirius was meeting "a dandy who wore white silk gloves"? This would almost BEG for a fanfic, except I hate writing cheating and so I don't do it.
But come on. It's begging for it.
Happy Fourth!
