reasons why Wendy is fucking awesome besides her...
She also sent me some Kerouac (On the Road, The Dharma Bums) and Burroughs (Naked Lunch, Junky) for Christmas. Oh and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Prisoner of Azkaban in Japanese/ PoA in the UK child cover. SO AWESOME. :D
Cormac McLaggen: No hard feelings, eh, Weasley?
Ron Weasley: What do you mean?
Cormac McLaggen: I'll be trying out for Gryffindor Keeper too. Nothing personal.
Ron Weasley: Really? Big, strapping fellow like you? You look like you've got more of a Beater's build to me. I mean, to be Keeper, you've got to be a quick and agile sort...
[McLaggen snatches a fly buzzing around Ron's head with his fingers]
Cormac McLaggen: I like my chances. By the way, you wouldn't mind introducing me to your friend Granger, would you? Love to get on a first-name basis with her, if you know what I mean...
Watchthis brought the lulz.
