Comment and I'll give you a letter. Then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. After, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.

My letter from [livejournal.com profile] bratty_jedi was G.

1. Gold.
2. Green.
3. Gambling. (To a degree;))
4. Ginger. (As in the spice and neighbour's cat).
5. Gee Gees. (Because I have to get horses into everything).
6. Galaxy.
7. Gardens.
8. Google.
9. Guillemots.
10. Gilpin Lodge Hotel.

And following on from my exciting visits to supermarkets, I popped to the newsagents this morning, and for a minute thought I'd discovered the Remus and Tonks of the West Midlands. The girl in front of me was proclaiming loudly to her mate: "I know he's dangerous, but he's so good in bed what can I do?" Turns out he'd just been done for dangerous driving for the third or fourth time (she couldn't remember), rather than a werewolf problem...

LOL. Did you have to do a comedy hide-behind-a-newspaper-pretending-to-be-reading to stop her seeing you laughing?

I can't tell you how fascinating I found the date on the carton of milk while craning forward to hear. Then I was dying to say to her: "Can I use that line in a fan fic?" I'm visualising Tonks to Molly, over tea and sympathy... ;)

Molly's eyes would widen for a moment, and then she'd say 'Really? Well it is always te quiet ones. Digestive?'

Or: "Well, I always feel like that about Arthur, dear, when he's messing around with his pruning shears. Jam tart?"

LOL. "Really, Molly?"
"Oh yes, dear. You don't make seven babies sitting around knitting."

I can't think why JKR didn't write it like this, you know. It would have cleared so many things up...

"So Arthur only advocates pruning in the garden, then?"
"Yes, dear. And I never knit in the bedroom, either."

"We could do ourselves a terrible mischeif on a stray needle...."

"I always wondered why you never crocheted..."
"After the incident with the hook, dear, we learnt a hard lesson."

"How about weaving?"
"Oh no, dear, that's far too dangerous in the bedroom. Terrible incident with a stray weft thread. For a while we wondered if Arthur would be able to father children at all...."

"But obviously you've stopped worrying about that?"
"Well, I still have the occasional doubt, dear, which is why I sometimes drag him away from his model aeroplane making."

"The smell of the glue goes to his head and gives him some awfully funny ideas...."

"I think I know what just you mean. Remus swears he's at his most dangerous after chocolate and I'm always buying it for him."
