shackinup_sesa list, I'd encourage everyone to read most of it, or at least Part 1. It's Our Private Universe, by busaikko.
The reason I'm pointing this particular story out is becausebusaikko played with a concept I'd been wanting to play with, and that was senility in the Wizarding World. (Incidentally, she did it much better than what I'd planned, although I may still continue with my fic IF inspiration hits.) busaikko took Mr. Lupin and made him senile from an overexposure to magic, and one of the reasons Remus was acting so oddly the first war was because he was caring for his father. This is technically R/S, and pretty explicitly so. If you're into R/S, it's wonderful :) If you're not, read up to January 1 anyway, because frankly, up until then it could count as gen. But the aspects of dealing with senility in the Wizarding World... they're painfully and subtly done.
Please go read!
ETA: Dumb question, but still. Brits: when you talk about your height, what units of measurement do you use? I know people talk about their weight in kilos, but I'm not sure on the height. This would be talking to a doctor, btw. Or close enough.
