But then...at breakfast this morning....
Self-Possessed Tot: "Daddy? Who does Hermione marry, after the books are over?"
Husband, sounding fatigued at the very thought: "Ron. She marries Ron."
Tot: ".... Ron?"
I wish JKR had given smart little girls a more inspiring picture of their romantic futures.
[this is so wonderful]

[are there other places than this link to read the story? with reviews? I haven't gotten to the reviews yet]
[how could I have gone to Azkatraz and not attended this author's panels?]
GUH.

pythia_delphi ! May the coming year bring you rest and healing, and all the fun you can stand.My fantasy is to score someone's old Harry Potter and Twilight/Edward t-shirts and some red fabric for ban symbols so I can stitch together my "Cho Chang Married a Muggle" costume. Suitable for a 41-year-old Asian woman with two wee ones, no?
I am nearly vibrating with excitement at being able to do a little more sewing these days. Thank you, thank you, O wondrous daycare and kindergarten.
( I tried and failed to avoid snark about Dan Brown. And yes, I know they make it from hooves. )
Back from weekend road trip to Bethesda. The Maw hates traveling. (Sorry we missed your call,
tssandwich ; we were on the road.)One more full day of vacation for Self-Possessed Tot. Then kindergarten begins and I can #!@##$%!@ clean the !@@#!$$%@! house. She has requested that we spend tomorrow watching the IMAX version of HBP, and she reserves the right to say when it's too scary and it's time to leave. (When we saw the standard version, I took her out of the theatre before the Burrow attack.)
Thank you to the SSHG writers who have written the joyful, redemptive adult romantic love into JKR's series. It belongs there; it is there in her life, now, and it belongs in her story, too. Thank you for creating characters I would want to be.
