Yay! Thank you Jo
May. 8th, 2007 03:36 pmAnswers to a few more FAQs including what house Tonks was in -- and as I suspected, it's Hufflepuff! That's the first confirmed Puff good guy (or gal), apart from the known DA students, I think. More to the point, I think it's more or less the first confirmed non-Gryffindor?
The other house answer is Myrtle, who was a Ravenclaw (surprisingly?). If I remember rightly, the original Mugglenet/Lexicon open letter question was about the house and age of Tonks and Moody, but whatever, and the ages aren't given here. I'm quite pleased with this, as I'm just coming to the point in the NTLJ revision where house affiliations came up for discussion -- so I can now have Tonks say she's a Hufflepuff instead of leaving it carefully unspecified. On the other hand, I've been trying to retract my v1.0 commitment to an exact age for her, so I'm quite happy with that not being specified. :)
The other answers are a couple of simple confirmations (yes, Tom Riddle was born on 31st December not 1st January, and yes, Alecto and Amycus are the Carrows) and a couple of questions about Draco's Patronus and wand.
Lyrics: The last one was that perennial favorite I Think We're Alone Now, originally by Tommy James and the Shondells in 1967, but of course the version most of us know best is the one by Tiffany in 1988! Let's see, who got it? Oh yes,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sparkly_stuff, ladybracknell, lupinslittlesis, muggle_prof, magnolia_mama, maple_clef, dolabellae, and nineveh_uk. :)
Actually, I'd forgotten when I posted that, but Girls Aloud did a version last Christmas -- it wasn't one of their best efforts though ... And when I double-checked the dates just now, I saw a song of that title -- presumably the same one -- reached #23 for "Pascal featuring Karen Parry" in 2002, but I have absolutely no recollection of it, despite the fact that it would be ideal for one of my pub quiz "find the connection in artist of title" selections! (On programming languages, in this case -- I'd still need C# Blues though, which Hendrix apparently recorded.)
About time for a song from this year, I think:
Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?
I could be wholesome, I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try? (2000s)
