Ooops.

I've received a very favourable reception to The Sempra Deck on Occlumency, and just received a review this morning which made me bang my head on my desk several times:

I'm enjoying where this is going so far - very original! I'm just wondering though if Mimi is not susceptible to any magic, how she is able to side along apparate?

Oh. Hmmm. Didn't think of that. Hmmmm. Well, you see, she is able to... Hmmmm. Well, let's pretend she can, and I'll go and dunk my head in a bucket. Hmmm.

Still blushing over that one. Ahh, well. You can't think of everything. Sometimes, you can't think of anything.

This is what is known in scientific circles as an anomaly. I'm sure that magical circles have them as well.

Shit happens.

Don't be embarrassed over that. It just shows that you have gotten the attention of the reader so much that they are picking up on little details like that. If anything, you should be strutting yourself around saying, "I was just checking to make sure you were paying attention."

I am loving this story something fierce! I cannot get enough of your work.
That being said I agree with Mimi "Neither Muggles nor Wizards know everything about their world, and so there will always be anomalies." *nods* Not -everything- has to be explained or needs to be explained.
