Dog hair answer

I believe that low pressure in the hold makes animal hair come off. At least, that was the conclusion I came to when this happened to me. A much better surprise in your luggage than the discoverey that your shampoo is all over everything you packed!

Patrick, can you confirm? It sounds like we all want to know!

This is OK

R/H Shipper, this is OK. As you can see from the rest of the letters, plenty of people are like this. I remember being a senior in college, with a boyfriend and friends and classes, and staying up until the wee hours reading X Files fan fiction. I went through tons of my childhood obsessed with Star Wars and essentially writing fan fic in my head throughout the school day. And it was OK. Every few years I fall in love with a story, and I fall into in for a while. I think HP fandom is filling an emotional need for you right now, in a relatively healthy way, and when you don't need it anymore, it will go away. Good luck!
