Trying to get a few things straight in my head for future reference as I work on HB: HP stuff. Suggestions welcome.

1. John's going to have to learn the Patronus Charm at some point, and I'm considering animal possibilities. I'm thinking something small, vicious, and persistent- polecat? Stoat? Pit-bull terrier? Mink? I'd say raccoon, since they're basically curious intelligent balls of ANGRY ANGRY MUSCLE with five out of six ends pointy when enraged, but, well, they're not in England.

Badger also possible because the damn things are known for being formidable defenders and nasty as sin, plus they have a rep in England for carrying bovine TB.

2. Speaking of badgers, sooner or later he's going to have to put on the Sorting Hat. Reluctantly, as he really doesn't fancy the idea of an artifact that can perceive his inner nature, but it's going to have to happen because people are gonna get curious. The way I see it he qualifies for three out of four houses- I can't see him in Ravenclaw no matter how clever he is- but I'm not even sure about Slytherin. Not ambitious enough in what I've read, but I haven't read everything...

I think he'd be a Gryffindor, but he'd be very put out by it. Which would hopefully avoid the KEWLIEZ syndrome. Like, "Fuck off. 'Mnot saving you. That's what you think."

Probably go about in a black cloud for days.
