I love the unexplained references when I get them. :) The Princess Bride took me by surprise and made me lol. But I can’t figure out what book/movie/whatever this is a reference to, any help?
Moody had once seen an addicted Dark Wizard go to ridiculous lengths to get a victim to lay hands on a certain exact portkey, instead of just having someone toss the target a trapped Knut on their next visit to town; and after going to all that work, the addict had gone to the further effort to lay a second Portus, on the same portkey, which had, on a second touch, transported the victim back to safety. To this day, even taking the drug into account, Moody could not imagine what could have possibly been going through the man’s mind at the time he had cast the second Portus
I know that some fans of this story have never read the original series, so on the assumption that you are not kidding, that’s a reference to the fourth Harry Potter book. Bahl’s Stupefaction was a reference to the Idiot Ball trope.
LOL, not at all. :) It’s hard to spoilerize anything having to do with Harry Potter, given the SKDD meme. There is a statue of limitations on spoilers, and I think “years after the movie adaptation has come out on DVD” has put me over that line.

Thank you. I got through the first three, and I’ve started the fourth, but obviously haven’t gotten far enough.
Well...bleep. Sorry for spoilering you.
