The hell with Star Trek. I just wrote another 600 words of "Secrets" and managed to both send Xanthe off and get Professor Sprout to bring Hagrid up naturally in conversation. Now I just need to bring him onstage so Ginny can talk to him.

...And then the remaining scenes, of course, but once I get past Hagrid I can go back to Apple and Daphne and at least temporarily avoid the intense ethical philosophy I've been mired in for the past month. Also, unlike Xanthe (who, while a vivid character in my mind, has an unfortunate tendency to become a plot device in practice), Daphne's life does not revolve around Ginny. Which is nice.

I like Daphne. I like her even better when she's doing a comedy double-act with Apple, which has fallen by the wayside since early chapters of "Secrets." (That is perfectly reasonable, since neither cousin is in a terribly playful mood around Ginny after she starts the fight with Daphne, but it's kind of sad.) One of these days, I really must get around to finishing "The Dragon Debacle," which is my sidestory explaining the mischief Apple and Daphne got up to in Romania the summer before "Secrets."
