Chapter Three Is Now Up

[Mamorien]

Still reading, but I hit a particular line and just had to ask.

"I bid them goodnight, politely declining an invitation to join the latest round of the cut-throat floating poker-like game the staff played at least two nights a week using Tarot cards."

Did Hagrid's predecessor as Keeper of the Keys import Cripple Mr Onion?

EDIT as I, too, reach the concordance:

You've not been reading enough Potter fanfiction if you don't know that fanon Sirius Black gets a lot of mileage out of "Sirius/serious" puns.

I used one in my (unpublished) prose adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Flack-Jacket Mafia" (my friend Janet Neilson's crossover of HP with her Daria self-insert "The Look-Alike Series"). There's a moment where Marcus "Warlock" Bishop, the TLAS character she had as DADA teacher in place of Umbridge, is explaining a plan to clear Sirius' name (by getting him to testify under Veritaserum), and Harry blurts out "You're serious." I had him thinking No, he's Sirius, I'm Warlock, you're Harry Potter. Try to keep up. (It's actually sort of in-character because Bishop, like the real person Jan based him on, is a Pythoniac.) Now you know, and knowing is half the Mandatory Educational Content Segment.
