“Horklump M.O.M. Classification: X The Horklump comes from Scandinavia but is now widespread throughout northern Europe. It resembles a fleshy, pinkish mushroom covered in sparse, wiry black bristles. A prodigious breeder, the Horklump will cover an average garden in a matter of days. It spreads sinewy tentacles rather than roots into the ground to search for its preferred food of earthworms. The Horklump is a favourite delicacy of gnomes but otherwise has no discernible use. Horned Serpent M.O.M. Classification: XXXXX Several species of Horned Serpents exist globally: large specimens have been caught in the Far East, while ancient bestiaries suggest that they were once native to Western Europe, where they have been hunted to extinction by wizards in search of potion ingredients. The largest and most diverse group of Horned Serpents still in existence is to be found in North America, of which the most famous and highly prized has a jewel in its forehead, which is reputed to give the power of invisibility and flight. A legend exists concerning the founder of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Isolt Sayre, and a Horned Serpent. Sayre was reputed to be able to understand the serpent, which offered her shavings from its horn as the core of the first ever American-made wand. The Horned Serpent gives its name to one of the houses of Ilvermorny.”

“My heart jumps to my throat. I whisper emotionally, “I still love you.” Immediately his hungry mouth crashes on mine. “I love you too Tatum,” he murmurs breathlessly in my mouth. “I never stopped loving you.” He kisses me and kisses me—so passionately. We ignite, my knees going weak and my insides bursting. It’s like the figgin’ fourth of July, we’re breathless and on fire. Yet, he never stops kissing me, even as he throws the blond wig in the trashcan.”

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love . . . There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.” —MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.”
