Urgent translation issue!

Can anyone help me with agricultural technology here? Rosina maybe?

How do you call the crop huddles you get after harvesting a field, when you bind the crops (wheat or whatever) together so that they form conic shapes? "Crop huddles" just doesn't sound quite right.

Yes, humming. And working. Luckily I have no co-workers in earshot or they would have spent the day cursing, as I cannot carry a tune in the proverbial bucket.

Out of sheer hopefulness: are you still thinking about the Snape/Lupin fic you mentioned working on a while back? (Interest only, no pressure intended.)

I cannot carry a tune to save my life, either. Oh well.

The Snape/Lupin fic, eh? I've been working on one for over a year now - 'working' being used very loosely. It's sitting on my harddrive and is not forgotten. I hope I can finish it before the release of HBP, because I fear that it's Remus' turn to die, which would make the fic AU. And thanks for your interest :-)

Glad it's not forgotten ;). I have some fears for Remus too; I was enthusiastic when the release of HBP was first announced, but I've become rather fearful.

I am convinced he won't make it alive through the series. The only thing I hope for is that he dies somewhere at the end of the last book. But someone important is bound to die in HBP, and Remus doesn't seem to fulfil any important functions any longer :-(

But we will still have fanfic!
