Harry Potter and the Distaff Side

You continue to deliver a fresh commentary and point of view.
The Room of Requirement's Holodeck simile works well on so many levels - remember Barclay's Holadiction? Nice that Luna's simulated father had the presence of mind to warn her against that.
When Luna finally has her wicked way with Harry will there be some physical manifestation, some magical indication that he's lost his "virtue?"
I'm more than a little surprised that Blanche would hire such an obvious bigot, with a record of pureblood indulgences, as a teacher.
It was nice seeing her get her comeuppance.
Write on, write on!
N!

Author's response

- Mostly I wanted to 'give' Luna something without having her end up hogging the room... Of course now that she knows about the room she might go on virtual Snorkack hunts...

- I wouldn't thinks so... Though Luna might walk funny...

- Strews was ministry appointed... I'm saving Umbastard for something special...

- I had to show Moody that he could do the accelerated magic, this was a good excuse.
