I am so loving this rpg, its so intriguing to follow a game right from the start and really wonder about all the little clues thrown to us, fantastic! Thanks all players!
I try not to Brit-pick, but some things really throw you out of the HP world... Today I noticed Lucius used the word 'nonce' in the title of his post recent post. Last week Molly used it in one of her entries. This completely threw me, the first time I saw it because in the UK a nonce is a slang term to refer to a paedophile! :S I actually had to look it up to discover it had a meaning that referred to time! Just wondered if anyone else was initially off-put by that word.
