Couple of new blog posts:

* xkcd-for-my-daughter: a list of XKCD strips, which were the
  most relevant for me.
* enemies-to-friends: most “Enemies to friends” stories are just
  incredibly stupid.
* hinny_dump: just a disorganized dump of Hinny stories
* huna_drinny: one of plot bunnies, which I would like to read
  fulfilled, but I certainly cannot do so myself.
* james-potter-werewolf-incident: it is just impossible of events
  happened how they are described in canon, JKR had to make a
  mistake in ordering those two sub-stories, otherwise James
  Potter would be quite a monster.
* lords-supper-and-magic: I have never understood why the idea of
  magic should be against the Christian faith.

+
+Imagine a classical Huna story (Harry takes Luna to the
+Slughorn’s party and they hit it off), but seen from the eyes of
+Ginny. She has to finally fight the final loss of her hope that
+she would get together with Harry ever. She doesn’t get crazily
+jealous, because who could blame Luna for anything, and besides
+Luna is her friend and friends don’t steal boyfriends from other
+friends, but it is hard and she is moping around the castle
+in not very good mental state. While going through the second
+floor she finds Draco in the Moaning Myrtle’s bathroom breaking
+down because he just cannot carry on in his attempt to deliver
+poisoned mead to Dumbledore. They manage to talk and she gets
+through to him and persuades him to go to Snape and Dumbledore
+for help. While working on his double-agent story, they get
+together.
+
+There is an alternative to this pre-Christmas Drinny, with them
+getting together only after Ron’s poisoning (Ginny spends a month
+or so moping around). How to make it possible for Ginny to get
+involved with possible murderer of her brother? That wouldn’t
+work, so how to do it?
+
+One thing about those first two attacks (the cursed necklace and
+Katie Bell, and the poisoned mead and Ron) is that they can be
+fully orchestrated from outside Hogwarts. Actually, they feel
+weird exactly because they are too complicated for somebody who
+is inside the castle. That’s right, the true perpetrator of these
+two crimes was not Draco, but Narcissa Malfoy, who was still
+trying to save him by making him succeed, because she suspects
+Draco was not able to accomplish the intended assassination of
+Dumbledore.
+
+And when Draco sees somebody actually fighting for his life (more
+Ron than Katie who was unconveniently shipped to St. Mango),
+he might finally realized what does it actually mean to kill
+somebody.
+
+So, it could be possible to have both of my hoped-for pairings
+Draco/Ginny and Ron/Lavender (this time meant seriously after his
+near-death experience). Harry is free to go anywhere or even for
+Harmony or Huna for all I know.
