crossover_chick | Happy Birthday Neville Longbottom!

In his honor, the Docs will read out random facts about Neville:

-D: *ahem* If Neville had been the lead character in Snakes on a Plane, the movie would have been over in two minutes.-
-VD: There is no evolution for plant life -- just plants Neville Longbottom has decided are worthy of growing.-
-VD2: Neville Longbottom isn't bad at Potions. The potions just fear him so much they go bad in a desperate attempt to flee.-
-DW: Crookshanks now lives in eternal fear that Neville Longbottom will discover he stole Neville's password list in PoA. (Don't worry, Hermione's talents with a wand should keep Crookshanks safe.)-
-OD: If the series had been "Neville Longbottom and the (Place Name/Title of Person)," there would have only been one book.-
-TD: When Voldemort goes to bed, after checking the closet for Molly Weasley, he checks under the bed for Neville Longbottom.-
-RPD: If Molly Weasley had adopted Neville Longbottom, the resulting combination of quiet badassery would have wiped all Dark wizards off the surface of the earth.
-HD: A time-turned Neville Longbottom was the real reason Ireland has no snakes. Neville just let Saint Patrick have the credit.-

Okay, yes, heavily leaning on Neville's WICKED swordwork in "Deathly Hallows" here. And the Crookshanks thing comes from me wanting to punt that cat after learning what happened to Neville's passwords.

CROOKSHANKS! I just realized something -- what the hell happened to Hermione's cat?! I mean, I assume she sent him off with her bewitched parents, but still. . . . *hopes Pig survived at the Weasley house too* Bad enough we lost Hedwig. :(

*pokes self* Write something, you.
-TD: *holding the poking stick, looking disappointed*-
-HD: You can't poke yourself!-
Why not?
-HD: Because it directs your energy from writing. Let those who are paid to poke poke.-
. . . I don't pay you.
-HD: . . . Well, then, you'd better start.-
*rolls eyes* You get free room and board, your own little fleet of time machines, and a fully-stocked lab, and now you want pay? *turns to audience* This is why I'll never have kids.
-D: *angry* We do not act like children!-
-VD: Victoria! VampDoc2's has the good wrench, and he won't share!-
-D: . . . I REALLY set myself up for that one, didn't I. . .-
-HD: Here, have some tea to take away the sting.-
-RPD: What are you trying to work on?-
Edits, mostly. Got the files back from Tracey for "Gift and Curse" and "What Lies Within." Trying to get back into the groove for "V.D." and "Marty In Wonderland" too.
-OD: *tentacles chatter* The boys suggest you make a list.-
I would, except that I'm the type who'd put all her energy into the list. *thoughtful* Maybe that's the reason I haven't been able to do anything with the purple notebook -- subconscious knowledge I'd get too obsessed.
-VD2: Well, that and your various tidbits of information are scattered everywhere.-
Yeah, I've only just gotten into the habit of saving the important stuff. I've already decided that, if/when I do finally get stuff organized in the notebook, the notebook is my fanon -- anything that contradicted it here or elsewhere is automatically disqualified.
-VD2: Good idea. So we can expect progress eventually with "What Lies Within?"-
Yeah. If I can get up the stupid energy to do anything with anything.
-DW: More anger about the job?-
I -- I always feel like I have to be the "responsible" one! I miss my three day weekends. *sniff*
-TTV: I thought you were going to ask about taking a week off.-
I'm definitely planning to. The problem is the number of people quitting. If things keep going the way they're going, I'm going to be the longest employed-employee. And I only started working there two years ago.
-TD: *whistle* Maybe YOU should start looking for another job.-
That idea's crossed my head too.
Well, anyway, gonna try to go SOMETHING before the night's out. I have to finish my page on "A Note of Madness," at any rate.
-VDM: Must we?-
I know his dialogue's creepy, but he's just snapped!
