Yes, there is no problem you friending me ;)

About the icon... that one is for personal use for now, yes. I'm sorry to be that picky but I made it for myself for now, I'll share it with everybody else at some point but right now I prefer if people use any of the ones I made for sharing.

However I do have to say that you're really nice for asking since it has happened to me before that somebody decided to use an icon I made for personal use and didn't even ask or credit me, which made me sad when I discovered. I know I have no control in the use of icons, but there are nice and polite things to do because making icons takes time ;)

Having said that, here is the link to those icons I mentioned, included the one you say, the 'unexpected' one:

And as you've been so nice to ask for permission (and I feel guilty for being not so nice and asking you to wait a bit longer for using it), if you want me to make a tailored icon for you with that Cedric/Hermione manip, tell me (I mean if you want some different text or not text but other colors..., etc).

Just a question. I saw your LJ... you're not going to post in your LJ ever!? Don't have to answer if you don't want to... just curious.
