Hello, all. Haven't been updating lately as my life's settled a bit into blessedly boring and uneventful.

Hey, if you've grown up with Dark Lords trying to kill you, you will WANT blessedly boring and uneventful.

I'm trying to keep Severus from putting Slytherin House in the red and hexing the rest of the Hogwarts student body.

( Honestly, Snapercup, you're too excitable.... )

Well.

I had the test results a couple of days ago.

I kept putting off writing in here because....

Putting it in writing finally makes it real, I suppose. Not that this is supposed to make any sense (and yeah, I'm not drinking any coffee at the moment).

I have just been sharing Duncan's pregnancy symptoms. Apparently, I am very sensitive to that if anyone else close to me happens to get knocked up. Some sort of weird-ass rare magical shite that, of course, has to happen to me since everything has to happen to me.

I'm not pregnant.

I should be relieved, right? I still have uni to finish and everything else...

But I'm disappointed.

And relieved.

And cold.

God, I don't know what to feel anymore.

Will someone PLEASE convince Severus Snape that I'm not made out of bloody fragile porcelain?!!!

Really, this is getting ridiculous. I've had the tests done. There aren't any results yet. I may not be pregnant after all.

Even if I am sharing the blueberry cheesecake with Duncan.

(By the way, I really must thank Professor McGonagall for the sushi she brought in. Duncan and I really appreciate it.)

STILL! Let's not start decorating the nursery yet, people. NO decorating in green and silver, Severus Snape! I mean it!

AND WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS A SWORD DOING UNDERNEATH OUR BED?!!!!

I have the oddest craving for chocolate today.

And salmon.

And who knew caviar could taste so good? I mean, fish eggs - ew. I suppose Sev's penchant for weird foods is rubbing off me. Heh.

And I think I want some strawberry jam....

( I'm so doomed, aren't I? )

Aside from the fact that Severus is now back to normal - he spent a total of three days as a cat and he developed quite the following of adoring fans. *grins* Who knew that there were so many Hogwarts students who loved cats?

Mine, y'lot. ALL MIIINE!!

Heh. Excuse me.

Who knew Severus would be so adorable with that characteristically dry, Snape-ish "meow?"

In other news: I'm going to be a grandkittyfather.

Duncan is expecting kittens. Six of them, to be precise. He's rather embarassed about the whole thing, having forgotten to take his contraception potion just the one time but we all know that it only takes one time, yeah?

I'm delighted and so is Severus, I do believe - if the eye-rolling and muttering about "domestic bliss" is any indication.

But it seems that Shroom Kitty is quite frightened about his impending kitty fatherhood. After having a screaming catfight with Duncan, who's meowing quite heartbrokenly in my lap, Shroomie is currently sulking in the wardrobe.

Severus is quite exasperated with the kitty soap opera going on. So am I.

Minion, I am quite disappointed with you.

*cough*

*discreetly hides his Dark Lords Anonymous Card*

I dare you lot to say anything. Anything at all.

- Harry
The Dark Bunny Lord

He's faced down Grindelwald.

He was the mastermind behind the fall of Voldemort. (So all right, I'VE been a bit involved in that but I'm not Albus Dumbledore and I don't think I'll ever be able to even fill his purple-and-star-spangled boots. Not that I actually LIKE his purple-and-star-spangled boots, but y'lot know what I mean....)

( But for the first time, I saw Albus Dumbledore wibble in complete and utter terror of Severus' Aunts. )

I have been posting the photos taken of my very good-looking (coughcough) Oxford Professors, basically to please my favorite honorary little sister Ginny who adores the eye candy.

Actually, I like the eye candy too.

For the record, Severus-love, I'm just looking. All right?

Anyway, it has come to my attention that I have been remiss in posting the photo of my rather gorgeous former Hogwarts professor. melody2tds somehow found this pic that I've actually seen around the school and turned it into a rather lovely icon of my Severus.

If anyone's been wondering about the general silliness abounding in my last couple of posts, here's one word to explain it all: EXAMS.

And all those pesky last-minute papers you have to hand in. Yes, I know, I should have done them earlier - I have been doing all of them quite early, thanks ever so. There's just more piled up. *facepalms*

I still haven't finished that American werewolf pack behavior paper - sorry, Remus, I'm handing it in tomorrow, making the deadline by the skin of my teeth. I'm also doing a paper on the Camarilla vs. Sabbat Kindred wars - another thing I owe Spike.

*sighs* And I still have that midterm exam on early Numenorean history to study for with Dr. Pierson. Why do all these things pile up before Easter hols?

Oh, Severus? I really miss you, love.

Yesterday, Severus brought home a cat.

Or, if we want to be more precise, he was adopted by one. I asked how Severus let THAT happen (tongue-in-cheek, of course - FEW people can actually get away refusing to become a cat's human) and Severus mumbled something that sounded like: "adorable," "reminds me of you" and "has your eyes." Can't figure THAT out as I'M not a gray and white cat.

According to the cat (which, very much like Shroom Kitty, is a magical creature), HE is a Deryni Church Cat - named Duncan McLain. According to my Book of Rare and Unusual Magical Creatures, he's quite capable of casting his own magic and tends to seek out only one mate in his lifetime, identifying them by scent.

Which for him is Shroom Kitty. *facepalms*

Shroom Kitty is NOT taking all this well - the notion of having a new cat in his territory, adopting his human-in-law, claiming to be his mate etc. They've already had three catfights, one of which ended with poor Duncan meowing heartbrokenly in Severus' lap, over the unrequited love. Poor thing.

Severus claims that this is the feline version of UST.

I'm trying to act as mediator and I wonder if that means this is how I should prepare for any future children with Severus, especially when it comes to sibling squabbles. :P

You know, Dumbledore said it best. If it's supposed to be a secret and no one is meant to know about it, naturally EVERYONE knows.

So apparently, you lot all know about Severus' attempt to cook our Shroom Kitty in one of his cauldrons.

I keep telling him that the Shroom Kitty is simply asserting its feline nature. Plus, the two of them keep squabbling over all sorts of silly things - I'm prepared to swear that Severus gets this jealous glint in his eye whenever he sees the Shroom Kitty taking up space on my lap and demanding to be petted.

( Honestly, Snapercup, love.... )

Love is definitely in the air, I guess.

I have been catching up with Remus or as Severus calls him, my "godwolf." I suppose it sounds better than "dogfather" but with less of the bite behind it.

I mean, I see Remus in class, being as I've got him as my Professor for Werewolves & Other Supernatural Creatures but that's not the same as popping in on him for a bit of a chat and some tea.

Er. Sorry, Remus - I will NEVER drop by your place unannounced again.

( Now THAT was embarassing. )

Harry,

Whatever it is you're doing to Professor Snape - keep it up. We can hear him laughing OUT LOUD even outside his office! Snape laughing - the world must be coming to an end!

Hail to thee, Dark Bunny Lord!

Still snickering,
Ginny
Proud Bunny Eater and Wearer of Pink Bunny Slippers

Severus,

A bunny rabbit?!

You just called me a bloody bunny rabbit?!

That's it - you've been drinking too much of my coffee.

You're off your rocker, do you know that?!

*is boggled out of his mind*

*is trying to restrain himself from saying, in a bad American accent: "Ehhhh... what's up doc?"*

Not that it wasn't er.... "fun" while it lasted.

*blushes*

Still, I'm glad that I've got all the right bits back in the right places now.

I never thought I'd be so glad to be able to use the loo standing up again.... as gross as that might sound. :P

Note to self: Should I ever travel in future to China, I'm staying VERY far away from Jusenkyo and any sort of Cursed Spring. I attract trouble enough as it is.

And I really ought to find Sadako her own Valentine - so she'd stop sulking already and sending bad luck vibes my way. Pissing off a Japanese telly demon's no joke, you know.

You would think that, just once, we would get a break, right?

( It was just too much to ask. )

I'm supposed to have a class in about four hours.

And a certain someone around here is supposed to be teaching a class in about the same amount of time.

However, he has told me that he is "utterly disinclined" to let me out of his sight.

Daft git.

Snapercup, where's my coffee?
