By Request of Jennifer...

This is quite nerdy sad. You were warned.

"Damn Wronskians..."

Jen gave a puzzled look.

"It's math," I mumbled. I suddenly turned cheerful. "Hi! Calculus and Linear Algebra are uniting in a desperate alliance to destroy my insanity. I believe matrices and Diff E.Q.'s mated and had offspring."

Jen shuddered.

I continued. "I just needed to vent. It's evil. What's up with you?"

"Just talkin about Potter."

"Heard that last book is OMFGood?"

"I've read it"

"I still haven't read Order of the Phoenix..." I sniffled.

Jen tried to hex me. I just stood immune and proclaimed that I am immune to hexes by virtue of being a scientist.
"If you want to hex me, you have to put it in mathematical form, and I don't think you have the expertise to do that...
On the flip side, I can't hex you."

[It's a little known fact that scientists are a special case of muggles immune to anything magical...]

Jen continues to try to hex me, except now she includes the number 16. She get's an A in effort, but overall the effort ends up being an F at max.

"If you could hex me then I could travel through computer lines. It really is a pity I can't be hexed, or I could travel to Newfoundland through MSN in under a second. I wonder if I would exceed the character limit though... Perhaps Gmail is a better bet."

Jen quibbed, "Since you are quite the character"

"More than MSN can fit inside a single message." I don't get compliments too often, so I overextend them like the worst of metaphors sometimes if I receive one.

"You might end up getting only my arm. Then I'd be armless and saddened."

I paused. "What would happen if you hexed somebody and stuck them in a do-loop?"

"Silly boy, technology doesn't work around magic," Jen countered.

I disagreed. "Depends on the level of math involved. I mean, if scientists are immune to magic, they can make technology that ignores magic. As such, you run into 'What If' situations, such as if Einstein made a theory around Voldemort casting a powerful spell? That gave us quantum physics, I think, and we're still sorting out that mess."

Jen rolled on the floor squinting her eyes.

"See, J. K. Rowling underestimates scientists because she went to Hogwarts, and it's well known that a scientist could never get to the appropriate station to head there," I elaborated. "We've got this non-magical turf for the most part, except for stupid He Who Cannot Be Named. And other such players. Heisenberg, for example. The uncertainty principle was the magic world's greatest attempt to foil our plans to control the universe."

Jen vanished as she headed to supper.

I returned to doing work.

This was made from an MSN convo
