I was flicking through the quotation dictionary, trying to track down a half remembered quote about purity, when this caught my eye:

Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,
And blew.

Robert Browning, Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came

Please excuse me while I scrub my brain. Then I will write the Hogwarts Influenza Epidemic of 1976. Promise.

Oh dear...
But thanks for reminding me about that fact I love Childe Roland.

And re. Hogwarts Influenza Epidemic of 1976, have you read nineveh_uk's Truth or Dare (http://www.thedarkarts.org/authors/nineveh/FATOD.html)? This isn't at all a plagiary accusation! - I'm just really interested by the way fic universes can co-exist as well as contradict each other (and sometimes direcly influence each other, since I've borrowed - with permission! - a few bits from a_t_rain's world) and even though it's evident that your flu epidemic isn't going to match up neatly with Nineveh's, my brain will enjoy imagining ways in which they might come together...
