Wanted: Info on America and some people to snub Blaise Zabini

[dolorous_ett]

Because I am a Quixotic masochist who really doesn't know when to take a break, I'm trying to work up a response to the omniocular Post-War Challenge. It's going to have to be quick and dirty because I'm very busy, but what the hell...

For this story I need two things.

First, whereabouts in the US is a good place to situate the ranch of a wealthy Wizarding landowner? It needs to be somewhere with a lot of space - somewhere with bison for preference, though these are optional.

Second, I need some walk-on characters to snub Blaise Zabini in a pub. I already have Hagrid, Crabbe and his wife, Eloise Midgeon and possibly Colin Dennis Creevey (changed at the request of synaesthete7) lined up for this - but the tables are large in the Leaky Cauldron, and I think it'll take quite a lot of quiet disapproval for Blaise to cotton on...

Just leave a message saying which canon character (preferably one who might plausibly be still alive post-war) you'd like to do the snubbing, and I'll do my best to accomodate. Thanks!

The funny thing is, I didn't like it as a child. I was both bored and baffled!

Though that may not be indicative of anything. I was a very strange small child.

Ah, well, we all have different taste. I had a burning passion for the countess of Ségur, and God knows when I picked it up again as an adult I wondered how I could ever have been infatuated with such sickening stuff. I wonder why my parents weren't disturbed by it and worried for me: it's XIXth century education at its most manicheistic, sugar-sweet and violent (parents beating the crap out of their children was perfectly OK). So there's no accounting for taste, I guess.
