1-15 points: You have a balanced view of the Potterverse. Congratulations! I'm glad that you are actually contributing to the gross national product. Someone has to.
16-30 points: You're on a slippery slope, my friend. Another few steps and you'll be banging your Time Turner on the ground, swearing because it doesn't work, while someone in the thirty point range points out patiently that of course it doesn't work, they were all smashed by Hermione in the Ministry of Magic at the end of OotP.
31-45 points: You're starting to scare your friends and family. Don't worry, though. They won't need to intervene for at least another six months.
46-60 points: I'll bet you've been caught with your head in the fireplace regularly.
61-75 points: Congratulations! Reality has lost its hold on you entirely. Enjoy your Ice Mice.

My score? 1601623859865617034052798.

Apologies for failing HTML before.

Your significant other has dressed as Snape for you.
Oh, but he will and it has been planned pretty much since before we officially got together. Mwah. But look at us (http://pics.livejournal.com/lavinialavender/pic/002h72e0/g904)! We ARE Lily/Severus. ...I just need to powder him a bit. (Seriously, my hair is dark red (http://pics.livejournal.com/lavinialavender/pic/003cdesc/g71), and for what he lacks in proper skin tone, he will chill everyone with his "I hate the world and everyone in it" expressions. Another picture (http://pics.livejournal.com/lavinialavender/pic/002h65cc/g904) of my golden boy to show his hair is canon.)

The first pick is locked, I think, but I see what you mean about the hair! Very cool.

But has he dressed as Moody for you? Now that's the test. *grins*

Whoops, sorry about that - I forget how I randomly lock things sometimes.

Aha, well, as Lily/Severus has been my OTP for five years now (in case it wasn't already clear ;)), since pretty much the very day I came into fandom, I have not yet felt the need to vary what works so fabulously, fabulously well.
