Guessed: HER  OLD ANTS.  

Sorry about the delay.   I'm just super-busy every day.

May I have an I, please?

Yes, of course. Quite a few ones, actually.

This needs to be solved because the anagrams just can't get any better.

Professor Snape was forcing them to research antidotes. They took this one seriously, as he had hinted that he might be poisoning one of them before Christmas to see if their antidotes worked.

OoP, preparing for O.W.L.s.

LOL, Shepherdess!

Congratulations, the quote is correct! The book, however, is GoF. (They weren't even preparing for their O.W.L.'s yet.  )

The next puzzle is yours!

Julia, I'm beginning to wonder if Molly and Arthur are ever going to get married. Do you and Verity still count the words in a story? I only ask as I haven't seen any posts in that thread mentioning the word count.

I'm wondering, too... Verity is in Melbourne, isn't she? She must have been really busy recently, but I hope she'll be back on the Five Words thread. The last post in the story is mine, so I'm waiting right now. Anyone else could add the next five words, BTW. We don't count the posts any more, it has been mainly just the two of us for quite a long time, and we have been taking it easy. But it's nice to know that you have been reading.

But back to Hangman.... May I have a D, please? DARE

Characters guessed - DARE

Yeah, Verity's in Australia. I don't remember when she's due back. If there are only the two of you playing the game, I see no reason for you not to do it they way you're both comfortable. And yeah, I'm reading along. I'm not good at playing, but I find the stories entertaining.

An S, please?

Is there a K, by any chance?   STARK DEW (A nod to The Song of Ice and Fire series, perhaps. Or not.)

Yes.
