other than the obvious, of course.

*It can restore neuraeul (nureal? Neureul?) pathways, if someone's been paralysed. I understand that St Mungo's uses it that way occasionally under very special circumstances.

Did you know that the cruciatus curse was invented by a Ravenclaw? That might not have been one of our House's finest hours, though.

*It can be used to stop a dog fight.

*Opening wine bottles without a corkscrew. It's rather unusual, but something about the magical field generated when you do the curse will make a cork pop out every time (or so I've been told).

*There's a rare Peruvian snake, the topaz-spotted ox slider, that likes to have the cruciatus curse put on it. Something about their nervous system recognizes it as pleasure, instead of pain. But it must be admitted they're rather exceptions to the rule.

Most people dislike it rather a lot.

I've never had it put on me. There are a lot of things I haven't gotten around to experiencing yet: drinking champagne. Eating sea urchins. Diving out of a muggle aeroplane with one of those silk sacks they use for floating to the ground, like a dandelion puff. And experiencing the cruciatus curse.

I should add it to my list of the things I intend to get around to trying some day. Not that I think I would especially enjoy it, might you. But perhaps I might learn something.

I know you're supposed to be all weird and everything, and it's one thing to natter on about something no-one thinks is important, but if you honestly think this is being helpful in any way, it's not.

It's thick to say that you want something like that in a place everyone can read, especially just after someone else got it and is still hurting from it and most likely wishes she never had gotten it in the first place.

I know you didn't want to cast it, you wanted to get it cast on you. And I'm not sure what is worse.

I just think it was rather awful for you to go on talking about "how interesting" it would be while my friend was sick and in pain because of it.

You're not going to learn anything about pain thresholds. It hurts and there isn't anything you can do to make it stop.

The information about the lizards and wine bottles is interesting though, did you get it from a book in the library? I did know it was invented by a Ravenclaw.
