So long as it basically makes sense, I don't think McHaggis will mind. Pushing charms and curses slightly beyond the boundaries of what's actually seen in canon is an easier leap to my mind than some kind of unseen form of magic of unknown conception ;)

I did a quick look at runes on HP Wiki, and the article's not exactly highly-detailed, but it seems they're just an ancient alphabet (in the same way real-life scholars study hieroglyphics).

If you're planning any particularly outlandish traps, it may be worth mentioning what you have in mind for Her GMship's perusal.

Certainly wouldn't mind having them be colleagues in the ministry, though after seeing Larry do an about face and not finding out about the Imperius, Drew probably wouldn't be too keen on seeing him again (at least until he gets an explanation). Same for the muggle tech.[/quote]

I'm planning on running a similar plot with his mother, Alberta, who takes a very similar view to Drew on these matters. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out. :)
