And speaking of missing persons
I realise I've been absent for a while. Sorry-- life bit me on the arse.

In the spirit of a vaguely fandom-related post, I give you the LJ Name Meme:

My journal is called: "And what are you two doing here?" It's a quote from Prisoner of Azkaban, specifically, the passage from which my LJ username is derived.

My subtitle is: "an odd place to meet," once again because of the passage in PoA. It's one of the few times Harry and Snape are anywhere approximating alone together.

My friends page is called: "friends," because I am lazy and somehow never got around to naming it. Alas. I think I shall change it directly I finish this meme-- I didn't know I'd forgotten it!

My username is: oddplaces (on JF) or anoddplace (on LJ), because this journal is mostly HP-based, and aside from being a rather odd character myself, there's this scene in PoA:


"Hary quickly pulled out his wand, muttered 'Dissendium!' and shoved his bag into the statue, but before he could climb in himself, Neville came around the corner.

'Harry! I forgot you weren't going to Hogsmeade either!'

'Hi, Neville,' said Harry, moving swiftly away from the statue and pushing the map back into his pocket. 'What are you up to?'

'Nothing,' shrugged Neville. 'Want a game of Exploding Snap?'

'Er -- not now -- I was going to go to the library and do that vampire essay for Lupin --'

'I'll come with you!' said Neville brightly. 'I haven't done it either!'

'Er -- hang on -- yeah, I forgot, I finished it last night!'

'Brilliant, you can help me!' said Neville, his round face anxious. 'I don't understand that thing about the garlic at all -- do they have to eat it, or --'

Neville broke off with a small gasp, looking over Harry's shoulder. It was Snape. Neville took a quick step behind Harry.

"And what are you two doing here?" said Snape, coming to a halt and looking from one to the other. 'An odd place to meet--'

To Harry's immense disquiet, Snape's black eyes flicked to the doorways on either side of them, and then to the one-eyed witch.

'We're not -- meeting here," said Harry. 'We just -- met here.'
