Not all wizards use Latin. Some spells are like a giant game of telephone -- they start in one language, get translated into another and another. End up some weird combination of five different languages that don't exist anymore. Which is why it's not that hard to get things mixed up, sometimes. And probably why most wizarding schools these days teach Latin spells.

I was home-schooled, so I use fake Latin. But it works for me.

Huh. Hadn't thought of it like that. All I know are Latin-based spells and some little things that happen to work in English. Not that they teach the latter at Hogwarts.

Are you a wizard?

I am a wizard. Named Harry, actually, but I never went to Hogwarts. I did defeat a snakey sorta wizard, though. No cool lightning bolt scar to show for it, just a nasty burned up hand.

Man, that kid makes it look so easy. It's totally not fair.

You know of Harry? He's my husband's godson. Sweet kid, a bit slow sometimes, though.

I'm pretty sure everyone ever knows who Harry Potter is. I'm disappointed how few people have made jokes about me being a wizard named Harry, though. You'd think I'd get at least a few every day, but no.
