Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, the Voldermort one is fucked up because he looked like a normal kid at the baby through adulthood stages.
And the werewolf wasn't a werewolf baby. Also, Harry might be a bit young for the scar, but I don't know that detail off the top of my head. Those babies do look wee, though.
Go Idris! It's your birthday!

Hey, who wants to come help me move in two weeks???
*crickets*
Yeah, so we found a house! And it's really pretty and has a dishwasher and a backyard and two bathrooms and we're super excited to move there, except for the part where we have to move. At the height of a Nashville summer. With two weeks to prepare. This means, among other things, that all the local moving companies are already booked for Sunday, July 31st. We're hoping we can hire someone for Monday August 1st, but I think we're going to rent a U-Haul on Sunday and move as much stuff that day as we can, and just let the movers do the heavy furniture. So, Sunday will be a fun day for us. And most of our strong, able-bodied friends are also moving or out of town that weekend, so I'm envisioning it's just going to be M and me and thousands of boxes full of books.

Where's the new house, Kate?

Our wings are not tired.
Kate, I swear to dog, that one reason I am buying my house? I DON'T EVER WANT TO MOVE AGAIN.
Ahem. But hot damn, I am glad you found a place you love. The horrors of moving will quickly be forgotten once you're all nestled in.

Congrats and good luck, Kate!

Ginger, it's in East Nashville, near the southern tip of Shelby Park. It seems like a really nice, quiet neighborhood within walking distance of 5 Points, plus we love the park.
javachik, oh yeah, I know what you mean! I wish I knew we wouldn't be moving again for a while. I mean, it's possible we could be in this house for years, but it's also possible that M will get a job back in the Northeast next year and we'll be moving again. I'm betting (and hoping) it'll be at least another couple years, though.
Thanks, Jesse! I'm looking forward to unpacking and decorating and arranging everything just so. That's the best part about moving (the worst part being pretty much everything else).

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So I'm stuck in the basement with a stomach bug. Which is okay, because I suppose I'd rather be in the basement with a stomach bug than running around outside doing camp stuff in 95 degree temperatures.
So anyway, I found this game. Do you think it will improve my spatial perception issues? It has very soothing music, anyway.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, man, Kate. I feel you on the move thing. But congrats on the house! You can do it!
So now I know to move my car onto the sidewalk in a storm like that (but not right in front of my house, because there was water flooding into my yard). I gotta say, it was freaky to see a visible CURRENT in the streets, all rushing away from the river. I saw a manhole cover popped out and flipped over. I was totally doing that thing you're not supposed to do, which is drive in moving water.
Silly me, thinking it only flooded here during hurricanes.
The rain is finally tapering off, so I'll head out and do those errands in a bit, including buying rain boots. If Fleurty Girl isn't all sold out, that is.
