Witch Tip

Learn from Slavic sorcerers and become immortal by tearing out your soul and hiding it in a needle in an egg in a duck in a hare in a chest under an oak tree on an island in the ocean.  But like don’t let anyone find it or you’re done for.  You didn’t think Ms. Rowling came up with the idea of horcruxes all on her own, did you?

I shit you not, as soon as I posted this, someone in my house started playing ‘Rasputin’ by Boney M.  I think I know why they couldn’t kill him now…
