Thankyou Penelope for introducing him. I thought that he doth laugheth at himself.But you say not.

But you only have the one anyway, unless you’re reincarnated as an unfortunate punter at one of the pubs McDonagall read in. Think about that…

(Who really doesn’t need any defence.) You really should check out the McGonagall site, Alica, to redefine the word ‘bad’. Thanks for perservering through the stunning mediocrity!

It’s mental chewing gum.
