I'm so glad the potion worked. It was a little more difficult than what I'm used to, but with so many people helping out, it went smoothly.

[filtered to people from the HP world;]
Are all of you alright? I know a few of you were affected by Barbas, and I just want to double-check.

	It was comforting to know you where there, every step of the way, assuring me, directing me, as to what to do next. Where would I be without your potions genius? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I do not need your self aggrandizement. Keep it in perspective, Granger, we were not helping you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	msknowitall 2009-10-04 03:23 am UTC (link)
	Everyone was working together. You were helping me, and I was helping you. That's the way it works when a bunch of people are involved in the same thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snark_master 2009-10-04 03:27 am UTC (link)
	Please, I was not helping you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	msknowitall 2009-10-04 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Not me, personally. But everyone who was working on the potion? Was helping each other put it together in some way. I'm sorry you're too thick to realize that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snark_master 2009-10-04 03:38 am UTC (link)
	It is your manner and way of explaining that it was because we helped the whole thing went off without a hitch that offends. From the way you worded it, if I had no idea I was the Potion Master and you were just a student that has not even taken the N.E.W.T.s yet, I might think you were the genius, and not me. It is good I have prior knowledge to rely on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	msknowitall 2009-10-04 03:43 am UTC (link)
	Then maybe you need to learn how to read properly, since I never implied anything even remotely close to that. Or at the very least, you should find something else to do besides sit around and overanalyze everything people write, because I'm sure you'll only end up finding fault in everything. ~~But that isn't really a shock.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snark_master 2009-10-04 03:52 am UTC (link)
	Right, because I have been responding to every single message posted on this forum. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	msknowitall 2009-10-04 04:04 am UTC (link)
	And there you go, misinterpreting and overanalyzing again. Find something to do, and quickly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snark_master 2009-10-04 04:07 am UTC (link)
	Oh, wait, when you mean 'everything people write' you were only over exaggerating for show! Dear me. Here you tell me that I should take your comments at face value and not imply anything. So I listen, and take your comments word for word, and now you want me it infer meaning, or lack of meaning, in what you say. Make up your mind, you are damn near confusing.

I was talking about my posts. The word 'people' was just a generalization, since I don't pay enough attention to you and your forum-related exploits and I don't know what you say to other people. Does that make it clearer? And in that vein, why do you spend so much time arguing with me almost everytime I say something on here? If you don't like me, it would be less of a hassle if you just didn't bother, don't you think?

Over generalizations all over the place, my god.

We have conversed a total of three times using these devices, which, incidentally is not the totally number of times you have either made your own posts, or jumped into comment on others. Comparatively, these three 'conversations' are hardly 'almost every time'.

If you do not know what I say to other people then refrain from making untrue, over generalized statements about such.

Oh, I see, we are back to literal, word for word - I thought that was rhetorical, you know, in the vein of inferring from your comments.

You insulted my status, and intelligence - not to mention everyone who was present two night previous - I merely spoke up to clarify your post, which I maintain is misleading.

Here, I will help point out why:

The subject in your second sentence is ambiguous leaving the reader to wonder what the action contained in the next independent clause could be modifying.

The people who matter will know what I meant and what I was referring to, rather than trying to point out something to try and make me feel stupid or like I was insulting people on purpose.

Now, I'm going to kindly ask that you leave me alone, and that you stop talking to me altogether. If you do, I won't respond, so you'll only be wasting your own supposedly precious time.

	I should not be laughing...I really should not be laughing. If my da were here and not a sprat, he'd scold me for laughing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ms. Potter snark_master 2009-10-04 03:25 am UTC (link)
	Then by all means, laugh - I see no reason not to. As if we were there to assist her! I am not allowed to hex her, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She's my aunt, and I'm supposed to respect my elders. And...I do love Aunt Hermione...even though she can be a little bit...full of herself. It's like loving Uncle Ron even though he's an utter prat whose foot lives in his mouth.

But I guess if nobody knew I was laughing...well, nobody who would get offended...they could never prove it happened.

No. People would make decidedly unhappy faces. And there would be lectures. And you'd probably have to pretend to care to shut them up. A lot of negatives for minimal rewards, if you ask me.

	Ms. Potter snark_master 2009-10-04 03:41 am UTC (link)
	Do I strike you as someone phased by 'unhappy faces' or lectures? Plus, I have never pretended to care, ever. So if that is the only reason you can come up with for not hexing, hexing it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Severus. thepottergirl 2009-10-04 03:51 am UTC (link)
	I'll be very sad. Not that I expect this to dissuade you. Just stating fact. And I think everyone could use a break from drama. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ms. Potter snark_master 2009-10-04 03:55 am UTC (link)
	You are right, that does not dissuade me. I would make it drama free - I am great with memory charms. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Or you could do something more productive and fun.

I've been contemplating an adapted version of Wolsbane to account for the absence of certain ingredients. It would take a lot of testing and it would be challenging. And, while he is great at chopping things up and handing them to me, Albie doesn't actually enjoy working on potions with me. Something about not liking explosions in the name of discovery.

I just need something to do to not go mental here. And it always goes better with someone to collaborate and bounce ideas back and forth. Besides, Teddy would kill me if he knew I was letting his da go through full moons without something.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ms. Potter snark_master 2009-10-04 04:04 am UTC (link)
	Pfft, I can do both, with one hand tied behind my back, and cast a shield charm to protect us from the explosions. And, I think Lupin is unawares he has a kid, so... somehow that means you do not have to worry about his supposed kid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Severus. thepottergirl 2009-10-04 04:11 am UTC (link)
	Well then, you're just practically perfect in every way, aren't you? Capable of one-handed wizardry and stirring potions with no hands...I'm on the verge of swooning. Yes, but with how this place is evil, Teddy will show up. And make angry faces (see example: >.<), which will be rather disheartening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ms. Potter snark_master 2009-10-04 04:14 am UTC (link)
	Well, that was surprisingly easy. And you need to learn how to ignore faces. Take the example above, I am sure Granger is making all kinds of faces at me, and yet that does not dissuade me from continuing to insult her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Severus. thepottergirl 2009-10-04 04:30 am UTC (link)
	I know. I'm terribly easy to please. But you don't like ~~anyone~~ Hermione. I like Teddy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ms. Potter snark_master 2009-10-04 04:45 am UTC (link)
	Than perhaps the trick is not liking anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent)
