@Nate—”Not everything needs to be fair.” Man, I was three times your age before that wisdom ever passed through my mind, and I don’t think I ever was as mature about it as you clearly are.

@Jade—Yash=Hufflepuff. That’s hilarious.

@Asher—Excellent! I’ve been looking forward to your thoughts, you always seem to spot some details that I miss. And I think the only rule is don’t comment on future chapters. Catching up on earlier ones (or going back to find clues when things are revealed later) is perfectly okay.

But I’m still trying to decide about the rest of the slugs and all of the football tagalongs. (It’s not helping that I’m reading just one chapter a day… my long-term name retention is slipping!)
