A whetting of the appetite:

We join our author today for a very special treat. Apparently, all of the characters have gone on a much needed vacation. However, as you may have heard from one too many a clichéd source, the show MUST go on. Thus, for your viewing and/or reading pleasure, she has asked a few friends to fill in for them.

Lotus: Excuse me? A vacation? Don't lie. They are all sitting on the front lawn, refusing to be in your story until you promise to never dump pumpkin juice on anyone again. Apparently, it is quite sticky and orange.

Cass: Well, I can't make promises like that. You never know when you need to dump pumpkin juice on someone. What if it is a life or death pumpkin juice emergency and I said I would never dump it again? Someone could DIE. Do you want someone to die?

Lotus: Well, no... I guess I never thought of it that way. But... why do I have to be Harry? He's a boy. I'm a girl. I've actually covered this before, I think.

Cass: You volunteered. Can't back out now.

Lotus: I really don't think, 'Who wants a cookie? I need a favor first,' is really a fair way to get people to help you get your dare finished.

Cass: I really do have cookies.

Lotus: Alright, then. And Jenn is Ron...

Cass: Because the W stands for Weasley. Isn't that clever of me?

Lotus: Well, I probably wouldn't have used clever as the FIRST word to describe it. And why does Zymurgy get to be Hermione, who actually is a girl?

Cass: Because she has lightning. And she uses it quite frequently on people. Not to mention the frying pans and herds of rampaging animals.

Lotus: Quite right... carry on.

Cass: Thank you.
