Just a bit of Brit-picking - for historical reasons, what the Americans and Australians would call a private school is called a public school in Britain (I think it's because when they first started schools, private schooling was in the home and public schooling in schools)

Ok. CPS is doing their job and thank goodness
Arthur was there to offer a quick and welcome solution to the problem to everyone's agreement.

I look forward to more. pms

I think I finally figured out what "Wizzywig" means. What You See Is What You Get. WYSIWYG. Am I right?

Ishtar replied:

That's what the computer term means, yes.   The wizards (like Arthur) use the term for a wizard disguise (a "wizzy wig") - what you see is what you get unless you break the spell - like Ron with his apple/raisin.   Harry's   illusion wasn't good enough to stand up to Ron actually touching the fruit.   (The first Muggleborn computer wiz that compared both terms probably spit butterbeer all over their keyboard ...) I rather enjoyed the play on words, and you're the first person who's commented!   Yay for you!
