It's ok. I am actually happy with the release day because I will be on my annual leave at that time  :)

I'm like... 90% certain that Lea was there from the beginning, yeah.
Margaret is the one who made the "fairy godmother bargain" after all... before Harry's birth!

What's more, I'm betting that (even still in the womb) Harry was protected by that bargain; in particular, I think Harry was "un-findable" (as Morgan was, via Summer's protection in Turn Coat).  And that if Harry was... so was Margaret.  When Harry was born, the protection followed him, and no longer covered Margaret... and Raith's Entropy-Curse struck the now-findable Margaret, causing "death in childbirth" (the exact details of which we don't actually know).

Yes, that is why the entropy course hit her only when Harry was not inside her. I know that but I meant, in practice. Was Lea actually taking care of baby Harry or just did a magical ward like Harry Potter when he is at his home.

Bad Alias, I do not remember that. Oh well, don't worry. I am sure there are many more interesting questions, it is just that one always intrigued me. Anyways, have fun in the convention and please, tell us what happens. Thank you!

I am too far removed from that, like 9000 km
I would like to know if Lea took care of Harry since his birth, or, on a broader sense, just have more information about the beginning of his life. He was in an hospital, I assumed, when his mother died. Malcolm was not there. It was a good moment for Lord Raith to learn how Margaret had died and to find that she had a child. Methinks Lea took care of things.

Well, to be honest, some people do have early release copies. I am not one of them.

That is interesting to know, but at the moment I am watching far too many things.

So fun about watching your own lymphocytes. I hope you are completely healthy very soon (and your colleagues too)

Thank you!
I love the Día de Reyes but it has been slowly replaced by Santa, so children (generally speaking) now got a gift on Christmas and a smaller or cheaper one on Reyes. It was different when I was a child. Back at the time, everyone (adults and children) got gifts at Christmas and children generally received serious thing they needed,  like clothes or things for school (except from grandparents or extended family that could give them funny toys and games) but Reyes were only for children who received things to truly enjoy, so toys, games, books of course, costumes (that they could wear on carnaval and small bijouterie for coquettes). I used to receive books. And I also remember three very special Reyes gifts. One was a small truck who charged coal. It was all on batteries and I have been watching at it in the toy store for months! Another were the walkie-talkie. And, at 8, the skaters. My parents had told me that I was not allowed to have skaters until 8. I thought they would be my birthday gift on Christmas, but no, they came for Reyes  :)

I am sorry you are ill and I hope you get better very soon. Did you really watch your lymphocytes? That is so cool. Well, obviously drink a lot of hot things and remain warm and cozy.

I am looking forward January 15, when Netflix would release Agatha Christie's Seven Spheres. I am a fan of Christie, but I have not read that book in ages and I only remember some parts. Looking forward to watch it!

Lost in Space. I have never watched the new show. The film, I did not like it. The original show was something I watched as a child but not consistently. It was just occasional, I do not remember having liked it too much, not even the robot. And I liked Guy Wiliams because he was El Zorro and he liked Argentina, even lived here. And later I discovered the girl was on Sounds of Music! But for some reason, I was never into Lost in Space.

Yes. Stranger Things big spoilers ahead.
(click to show/hide)

Take care of yourself and drink lots of hot beverages. We are suddenly having around 16 C here, which is amazing. We had 38, almost 39 on December 31!  I hope it remains nice and rain-free.

I am also watcning Emily in Paris. I am on chapter 5 of the season and ithis one felt super long for some reason. I don't want to watch another one for a while but at least I am mid-season.

I liked the Stanger Things finale! Not perfect, but a solid ending.

I am still in 2025, for an hour. We already had dinner. At 12, it will be a toast and probably an icecream.
I don't think I will see the final episode of Stranger Things until tomorrow night or even later but I have up-to-date until now.

So, HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR EVERYONE!!

It is perfectly fine. I want more CS too. And even when i love the DF I agree 12M is probably be too angst-filled so it is perfectly fine to want something...lighter.

Thank you, my dear!
I loved that you made me a thread and those cupcakes were amazing!
Among my gifts these year I had a sweet Krypto and a Grogu Funko (not my first one, we have lots of Grogus around the house). I also gave hubby a Grogu HotWheels that is super cute.

I hope you all are having a great day and Regen, I am glad you are enjoying your reading. And yes, less than a month!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE,! (if you don't celebrate Christmas, at least hopefully you have some days off)  :) :) :)

Thanks my beloved forumites for being there and have a lot of fun!

We have all ready for tonight, so I am now relaxing while watching the submarine streaming here, especially when it is live so they did some Christmas decorations and they are amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpO8VPuY698

Classic AI hallucination, with a light dusting of genuine references, taken in incorrect contexts for a surreal result.
  I know, I had dealt with that regarding the DF before. The things the AI told me were hilarious, but nothing so complete, detailed and wrong at the one Lehane posted.

WT...H?????
Also, this question:
"If Harry successfully killed Nic, would Rudolph be a good host for Anduriel? No. Nobody likes Rudolph. Even the Fallen are like 'That guy? Give me something better to work with'. Nic is a main series villain, Harry will be dealing with him till the end, take that for what you will. " [From the Transcript on Reddit].
was so weird. So random.
