I'm leaving for Harry Potter in just a few minutes, and what does my mother tell me? She tells me she threw out my Harry Potter scarf, because she remembered me telling her I didn't want it anymore.
"You said it was too short."

Too short?
I sat for weeks, MONTHS ever, knitting that stupid scarf. I think I was pretty damn pleased with the length, thank you very much.

What do I do now?

Can I really go see Harry Potter without my scarf?
What will people say? What will they think?
"Look, she hasn't got a scarf. What a twat."
