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.

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."

Well, two things are happening here. One is that this is an anomaly, the other is that events are happenning that will change in the future and this is allowing her to do this.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

It stands to reason that there would be anomalies in magic, as in science, really. Some examples of scientific anomalies to cite? Glad you asked! Bumblebees! It is impossible, according to the laws of aerodynamics, for them to fly. But no one told the bumblebees that, and so they do. Also, nothing is supposed to travel faster than the speed of light. However. Quantum physicists have discovered a particle that seemingly DOES travel faster than light: the tachyon.

Neither Muggles nor Wizards know everything about their world, and so there will always be anomalies.
