ravenmb, you must go read Beast and the Beast, A Fractured Fairy Tale, right now, go! A perfect SS/RL story with a delightful fairy tale theme, Severus decides to turn himself into Prince Charming to win Lupin over, but things don't go quite according to plan:

"Once upon a time, there was an ugly, bitter Potions master who was in love with a poor but handsome werewolf." Severus glared into the mirror, his expression sour enough to crack it. "I hate these kinds of stories," he muttered.

Dude, charmed mirrors. Seriously. Go!

And for those interested, remember Lost finale chat tonight!

Wagering

Huh, apparently the gamblers in England are laying heavy odds on which major character will die next in the Harry Potter series. I've got to say their conclusion makes a helluva lot of sense to me, particularly given the kids' covers I've seen lately for HBP. Additionally wagers are being made on who the HBP is, and again the front runner had me nodding. If you don't want to know do not click the link, and you should probably skip any comments as well.

Also any theories as to why there's a potions textbook on the cover of the adult version of HBP are welcome :)
