Grins...... of course you can use the title, after all your story is why I thought of it! (winks) Now that was an entrance, and I hope that Neville and the others have excellent seats for the show that is about to begin! Hmmmm....will the house elves provide popcorn and other snacks? Of course, most of the students might enjoy it but Dumbles, Snape, Malfoy and the Weasleys might end up with a nasty case of indigestion.....and the first smackdowns of the school year. It's a pity the twins aren't there, they could have made a fortune running a book on how many times per day Dumbles and company are going to be dealt with by the Potter-Black family. I wonder if Colin will get a good set of pictures for "Dark Lords and Idiots"....they'd fit in well with both the Quibblers's article(s) and the book. Thanks again for the story, and I can't wait for the Molly/Hermione bout. Either verbally or physically Molly'll be outclassed. And if Ginny and Ron go after her they'll find out the hard way why she's considered the smartest witch in Hogwarts......and it will hurt. A lot. Then again it might be better for the human race if neither of them breed. As for Neville, it'll be lovely to watch him dish out some payback as well. Chuckle, Snape might not realize who or what had hit him......and he deserves whatever he gets! As they say it's always the quiet ones.......and if anyone tries to cross Neville or someone he cares for it will get very ugly. Add in his friendship with Harry and Hermione and Hogwarts will be ground zero thrice over! I can hear the theme from Apocalypse Now playing through the halls of Hogwarts.....chuckle.

I would suspect that Ron or Ginny would have to worry more about Hermione's bonded than the lady herself... She might show mercy, they most certainly won't.
