The Seventh Hogwarts Common Room

Seven is considered a magical number in our world so make this a memorable one students :)

Because Halloween is upon us I am requesting you all to take extra care and leave the furniture in a decent state especially if you are planning to have a nice party on the big night.

Thank you, Professor.

yes, thank you very much! see you in Transfigeration Professor McGonagall!

Wow! ,Nice shiny new Common room Looks around a sees we need to rescue a few things from the old one . Rescues the Popcorn maker and Dessert and Drinks bar from the old common room.

yay!!! New room. Good thing to, the old one was starting to smell.

Geez, Professor, give a warning next time! Now I gotta lug all this stuff in here...

Okay, the library's set. Now for the pool...

and the hot tub....

... Oh yeah, Halloween, I forgot about that. *suddenly regrets getting a haircut and shaving... now he can no longer dress up as Mr. Darcy*

Ooh, a pretty new room! The pool is a nice touch!

Nice new room! Is our Halloween party going to be a costume party?

http://www.cosforums.com/album.php?albumid=902

i think i got everything in there...i'm too tired to set it up. i mean, that's what house elves are for, right?

ok, kidding, kidding. i would never make them do that.

off to bed i go.

*wakes up in a dim corner*

*takes Muggle Studies book off of crumpled nose*

*blinks in utter confusion*

Wha'?

Where am I?

*looks around blearily*

OK, wait. We rearranged the HCR again already? No explosions, no rampaging beasties, no Geminio curses on the books or anything?

:hmm:

This is more disorienting than the hardware counter at work. I helped move the shelf & table to make room for a printer on Wednesday. I remember doing it, but still felt the world spinning widdershins ninety degrees every time I looked up from counting I-beams and brass clamps.

I'd been facing South doing that task every day for six months, and suddenly I was doing it facing West. It made me dizzy a couple times.

Of course, that may have had to do with sleep deprivation as much as anything else. It's Midterms Week at GRCC!

I see KiD brought in a nice red x. In other words, your picture isn't showing up.

Costume party?

Yay, costume party on Halloween!

Costume party!!!!!!!

Oh, ah, common room items. Thank you. I don't know why you have that Slytherin thing in there.

A new Common Room? But the old one hadn't been destroyed/overrun by bunnies yet. :lol:

A costume party sounds awesome! I wonder what I'm going to be . . . :hmm:

*runs back to old Common Room to grab her chair*

try a giant book!! :lol:

Nice chair and :lol: megan!

Suggests the Monster book of monsters as a great idea for a costume or maybe the Invisible book on invisibility or someone could come as Snapes old Potions book.

All good ideas though I'm not quite sure how to pull that second one off.

yeah me nether

... Megan just got like 80 times more awesome simply by suggesting that idea.

thanks!

try a giant book!! :lol:

Not a bad idea . . . :hmm: :)

Happy Halloween!

And Happy Death Day to Nick!

Happy Death Day Nick!

Bags and Bags of candy! nom nom nom

SWIMMING POOL!!!

That means I have to consider a water-related costume.... The giant squid it is!

A new room? Where's fred and george? this place needs to be trashed up a bit. or peeves. Yes, we need the poltergeist.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4070/4212559438_1d7aa944db.jpg

That is such a good costume! I want ittt!

Fred died.

Ouch Jookyle!

I have an idea Flashmemory - lets share it! We can make it a 2 headed siamese twin squid :)

Oh, ah, common room items. Thank you. I don't know why you have that Slytherin thing in there.

for us slytheris who like cookies?

or someone could be dressed as snape...?

I elect to come as "most useless hunter ever."

I think I'll go as a vampire this year:

http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/166/6/f/Belle_as_vampire_by_rancidom.png

Fred died.

I know that, I am talking just in general, not chonologically.

I like how we all committed to the Halloween party =P

i'd give cake, but i ate it.

we should have a party.

Cool costume, mollywobbles! Is that a Disney vampire, Anhelda?

Fred may have died, but he still visits the HCR. ;)

fred May Have Died, But He Still Visits The Hcr. ;)

Yeah!

It's after Halloween, but I did find an awesome costume:

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSjdltLgwVSFLiNWXXTEVQ9yufNa0Z7U gEuedkEP1mjHsYJ4u8&t=1&usg=__kdjwUV3bJ5Pgd4eBxgM8EGjbBiA=

Sorry it's a bit crooked (and the sunglasses were a gift, I swear).

That is cool.

Is that a Disney vampire, Anhelda?
That is a picture I found on deviantart, doing a search for "Vampire Belle." So yes, it's a Disney vampire, but not an "official" one. ;)

Fred may have died, but he still visits the HCR. ;)
I still haven't forgiven Jo for killing Fred....I don't think I ever will. :grumble:

.......... *blinks* which book is that? Also, is that you?

My contribution to the Halloween environment: Darth Vader reading The Raven (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXU3RfB7308).

I have to take Midterms.

:eeep:

Checking it out now.

I have to take Midterms.

:eeep:

:huggles: I'm sorry!

oh well...no party.

boo. and the basilisk was the guest of honor.


and now, back to your regularly scheduled common room program.

Bring. Back. The Basilisk! Even a Basilisk would be preferable to midterms. Muggle Medicine... why did I decide I needed to study those nutters that cut sick people up? :yuhup:

Even a Basilisk would be preferable to midterms.

Is this still preferable to midterms?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MahTKZDHXaA

That's very preferable, APolaris! It's not as exciting as a Basilisk, but at least it's a bit of a laugh :)

Oh, yeah. That was so bad I might never stop chuckling. First question posed to me by a classmate last night? "So how excited are you about November 19th?"

.

:scared:

I thought I was hiding my Harry Potter geekdom a little better than that at school.

:blush:

Was that a typo? :wave:

There's so muck I should be cracking on with! But darn!

I thought I was hiding my Harry Potter geekdom a little better than that at school.

:blush:

It alway shines through.

GreenA, I doubt it was a typo. If you look at Anhelda's avvie, siggies, and albums, you'll see she's obviously a Disney Belle fan and never a Twilight Bella fan.

I wonder what a Vampire Bellatrix LeStrange would look like... that would probably generate a few hits on da! :evil:

Was that a typo? :wave:

There's so muck I should be cracking on with! But darn!

Was what a typo? :hmm:

Like Lyra said, I'm represented on this forum by Belle from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Until I read Lyra's post, I never even thought about Twilight, which I am almost wholly unfamiliar with. (I admit, I saw the first movie at a friend's house when the DVD was playing, but after being totally unimpressed by it, I have never seen a reason to watch more of the movies or read the books, so...)

*mobilicorpuses Green Arrow into the pool for old time's sake*

:D

.......... *blinks* which book is that? Also, is that you?

I think it's some kind of fairy-tale book, I can't quite make out the title. And no, it's not me. There was some kind of photo contest online for parents to enter their kids in (most creative costume and whatnot) and that was one of the entries. There was another book costume available, but I would never wear it and I don't think it would be welcomed in a Harry Potter forum.

Bring. Back. The Basilisk! Even a Basilisk would be preferable to midterms. Muggle Medicine... why did I decide I needed to study those nutters that cut sick people up? :yuhup:

Basilisk? What? *grabs a mirror*

Like Lyra said, ...

:rotfl:

and Lyra has requested this lovely lady to pay us a visit (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rSoF595feWU/Sxu1AsXK2iI/AAAAAAAAAAc/DUwiZRYTnUY/s320/Basilisk.jpg). Pardon me, my parseltounge is a touch on the rusty side.

:wow: The basilisk was female? I had no idea!!

that was Mr. Riddle's little secret.

*looks up*

Did you say something, KID?

*sees Basilisk*
*is petrified*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not witchsmart... nooooooooooooo! Why God? Why couldn't it have been me instead? Damn you, cruel fate!

... *receives his Oscar* k, thanks :)

*slaps statue of witchsmart on the back* nice award I've got he... *witchsmart statue falls over* oh... rrrrrrrrrrrrright. Way to be happy for me.

I'm going to send an urgent owl to Madame Pomfrey and another to Anhelda. I'm hoping, between the two of them, there will be enough mature Mandrake to compose the cure for witchsmart's petrification! We really need her, here, and on the Quidditch Pitch, and all over the board.

Well, at least we have some where to hang our coats.

Wonders just how KID could sneak that big monster into the school right under Head mistress Mc"s nose ? :hmm:

Well, at least we have some where to hang our coats.
That's what the enchanted suits of armor are for. Not witchsmart!

Hm, should I carry a mirror around or just constantly walk behind Nearly Headless Nick?

id pick Nearly headless nick

Wonders just how KID could sneak that big monster into the school right under Head mistress Mc"s nose ? :hmm:

i have my methods. :evil:

and i have the mandrake *hands it over to lyra* i knew it would come in handy for something.

Oh, good, there's the mandrake...I've got the rest of the potion mixed here in my mini-cauldron, just need to add a bit of this.....there we go. And now, two stirs clockwise..seven stirs counterclockwise.......and three wavy stirs~~~and it's ready to go. Curo imbibo!

*mandrake potion dose flies out of cauldron and goes into witchsmart's mouth*

There...give her a few minutes, and she should be right as rain. Meanwhile, I'll put some anti-basilisk measures into place to prevent any further mishaps. Avis gallo!

*flock of roosters flies out of wand*

So, at the first sign of the basilisk, these roosters will start to crow, which should stop the little monster in its tracks.

Roosters don't fly. they attack. and some have loads of gleam.


should i bring my pheonix in here too?

Roosters do fly--when they're being shot out of the end of a wand. Afterwards, they just settle on the chairs.

Never a bad idea to have a phoenix around, just in case. ;)

Erm, I'm just the messenger of grace; Anhelda is the certified Healer. ;) Good job she was here before I was, I might have mucked up the widdershins stirs and botched the potion.

Beautiful phoenix, KiD!
Is Julia all better yet? We have a DQ match to wrap up elsewhere on the board.

in that case, yes they fly. but can't we have some attack roosters? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yuhup:



Beautiful phoenix, KiD!


thank you....another gift from someone who i shall not name, but since i don't name said witch/wizard, it will make you curious to ask, yet i won't give into the temptation......

All this makes me think "we're doomed".

[DOOM]: the attack of the flying roosters??!

:lol:
I'm doubt anyone else will understand the reference. :D

Sit back and join me with finishing off this chocolate which everyone else runs around headlessly.

Phoenix tears cure basilisk bites. :tu:

I have to send my computer in to get fixed. The fan has become too noisy. So, it'll be shipped next week, and :upset: you may be without me for a week. I'll try to find another computer to visit, but if I don't, please don't forget who I am!

Oh, btw, I am now part of the I-Bought-My-Ticket-to-DH-Part-One Club (or whatever it's called).

Is Julia all better yet? We have a DQ match to wrap up elsewhere on the board.

Dairy Queen? What flavors/toppings and how many sundaes has the leader eaten so far, and how many days are left to join in?

:lol: DQ is dragon quidditch, APolaris...quidditch played on dragonback.

Phew, thanks a ton, Anhelda! :huggles:

. . . why am I covered in coats?

Oh no, Leah's computer is going away? We'll miss you! :(

You're welcome, sweetie Smartie! :huggles:

And ditto to the bad news about Leah's leave of absence--hurry back, Leah!

:lol: DQ is dragon quidditch, APolaris...quidditch played on dragonback.

.................................................. ...............

Why has nobody made a sequence of straight-to-DVD episodes depicting this yet?

And yeah, sucks about Leah's computer and all. I just got a new one a few weeks ago myself, after spending nine years with my previous one. As one of the new one's many novelties, it can do what my old one had for some reason suddenly become incapable of around 2008 but done fine before then: tasks such as staying logged in to MSN Messenger long enough to hold a conversation, watching videos on Youtube without ceasing to load halfway through, and having webcam conversations.

Phew, thanks a ton, Anhelda! :huggles:

. . . why am I covered in coats?
Want some help with that? :)

GreenA: wait. What? Do YOU understand the reference to [DOOM] and [DOOM] unbrackedted?!!
Oh, and hand over that chocolate. I have PMS and a handgun.

Leah: NooooooooOOooooOOooooooOOOOHH!! I'll miss you terribly. Only I might have to set TigerStar on Picollo, since a) you won't be around to defend him and b) they're ordinarily both lap-pet sized, and only engorigio'ed for the length of the Match. :whistle:

AP: What Annie said: Quidditch on live mounts instead of cold, dead broomsticks. Not all the mounts are dragons this year, though; some of us are riding Flying Tigers in honor of the Year of the Tiger. I was starting to think we'd see the Snitch caught soon, but now that Julia's unpetrified, I hope we all wait until she brings in her third surprise mystery guest commentator. :eyebrows:

Good to have you back, witchsmart. Have you found a better place for all those coats yet? For example, stuffed down the throats of the people who decided you'd make a nice coatrack? :evil:

Thanks! It's good to be back. And actually, I think I'm just going to keep them, they're rather nice coats. :D And thanks for helping me de-coat rack myself, Green_Arrow.

I can see it now "Witchsmart's Used Clothing Emporium" it'll make money I'm sure it will ! :lol:

About the Dragon Quidditch is there a thread showing all the mounts in use in the game ? I'd love to see them all in one place .

I think you can see all the mounts in the DQ Match & Related Festivities thread in the Fun & Games fora, though you'll have to scroll through several pages.

Many of them are in the Social Group for Cedric Diggory, Head of International Sports.

Is it ever too late to jump boats?


Witchsmart, tis my pleasure! ;)


Edit - Yes Lyra. I am one of those old people, with the ultra long white beard and owns several nifflers in my back yard who sits on the computer all day stalking every single forum out there. :yuhup: I do occasionally visit MT now and them just to reply to PMs and check out references if I need to. Socially, the threads have become depressing.

*breaks slab of chocolate and offers some to everyone*

OWL me your screen name. Or I will never rest until I find a way to Rictumsempra you through the mysterious inner workings of the magical interwebz.

Oh no, Leah's computer is going away? We'll miss you! :(

I'll miss you, too!


And ditto to the bad news about Leah's leave of absence--hurry back, Leah!

Thanks. I'll try my best. They say the box should be here tomorrow and then I have 3-5 business days for it to be returned. Shipping it out tomorrow that would mean the earlies it would be returned is Friday and the latest is next Tuesday. Counting down the days all ready and it hasn't even left me yet!

It was about a year and a half ago I got this computer. It was amazing. My old computer was slower than Christmas. I was so surprised at how fast things could be again. It was, dare I say it again, amazing.

Leah: NooooooooOOooooOOooooooOOOOHH!! I'll miss you terribly. Only I might have to set TigerStar on Picollo, since a) you won't be around to defend him and b) they're ordinarily both lap-pet sized, and only engorigio'ed for the length of the Match. :whistle:

Leah, you know I won't really. It's just that something about DQ really brings out the :slyth: in me.

Even though I'm more :huff: than :slyth: in real life, and even those are an infinitesimal portion of my thoroughly :rave: personality.

Anything that features both Stephen Colbert and the Everly Brothers' lovely song is very welcome! Thanks for posting it, AP! :clap:

How long will you be away, Leah? Can't you borrow or rent a laptop or something while yours is in the shop? Things won't be the same without you on the Quidditch Pitch. :no: :(

Concerning Dragon Quidditch, I believe most if not all dragons and other mounts (currently tigers) pictures are on the DQ thread. I believe every player says which dragon or tiger they will be riding at the start of the game. From what I can see, the pictures are posted both on the thread and in the Cedric social group. But whoever wants to see all the mounts has better have a lot of time and patience. In the social group, the pictures are not all posted in the album, they are also posted on the main page, which is very very long by now.

Hey, if you get bored with being unable to go online, you could always print a copy of the fanfic I started the other day (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=126319) and bring it with you. That way, you've got something (other than Twilight) with a writing style so horrendously spartan you can make fun of it to keep yourself occupied.

OWL me your screen name. Or I will never rest until I find a way to Rictumsempra you through the mysterious inner workings of the magical interwebz.

Member confidentiality! :yuhup::yuhup:

Meh, I don't believe you were actually there in the days of [DOOM] unbracketed, anyway. A year and a half ago you were like a tourist in a new city when I told you about the Floating Log.

Me -- I don't think I've poked my head in there for many, many months. I totally agree about the social atmosphere; it's about as welcoming as Nockturn Alley these days. :sad:

Such a cynic. ;)
You'll be very surprised if you find out who I am. ;)

*muahaha!* I sound like a crazy psychopath.

I'm on my Mom's computer. I can't get used to the feel of her keyboard. I have to constantly remind myself to move my fingers over one letter. If I don't I end up typing something like this: kwH49 (that's supposed to be my screenname). I know she likes to use her computer (mostly to play the different versions of Jewel Quest she has) so I can't hog it, but now I don't have to spend this week away from you all (and from looking at pictures of the DH P. 1 World Premiere tomorrow and the NY premiere on Monday). I do like that my Mom's laptop is a widescreen (I have a Lenovo tablet and they don't come in widescreens).

I never asked my mom if I could use her computer before I shipped mine off yesterday. I fully expected her to say something like not much because she does like to use it herself, but last night I got on it and when I returned it this morning (that means I brought it downstairs from my bedroom) she said she didn't expect me to do that.

I actually thought about that. Yesterday, while driving home from shipping off my baby, I mean my laptop, I got a hankerin' for reading some Dean Thomas centered fanfic. Then, I realized I wouldn't have my computer to do so. I then thought about downloading and printing fanfic. I have actually thought about printing my fanfic, but then it would be more open to my family reading it and I don't know why I don't want them to. It's not embarrassing (the embarrassing stuff is what I wrote when I was in high school and had myself inserted in the stories). I will check your work out.

I wonder if I would have cared so much about being away from my laptop for a week if I had a job where I spent the entire day on a computer.

GreenA, the only Mercan Opelear you even remotely resemble is Yomer. Or possibly Dark Link's Green Twin. Hm.. newer people... Lorien, maybe? I don't remember Lorien drinking wake-up-drink much.

But if you remember me from my Dark Diocese Days... I wonder that you'd want to frequent the same threads as I do at all. Such a sad, sick, warped individual I was and still am!!

nice to be back from....well, i won't say.

so, what's been happening?

One would think one would try to forget terrible memories and make room for future happy ones.


Let's not turn this into a guessing game. :argh:
;)

so, what's been happening? I have a new pet. :clap: It shoots rainbows out of its' butt. Can you guess what it is.

Anyway, I just realized that we've gone over 100 posts in here and haven't had a single cake yet...that's just wrong. So, here we are:

http://www.blackbunnybakery.com/img/Celebration/i02.png

All the ususal keep-fresh, name-your-own-flavor, and self-replenishing charms apply. Enjoy!

Ooh, that's lovely! And it's delicious too :)

Hey cool, a cake that's actually not outside my dietary allowances. Well, unless it's got seeds or slivered almonds or something inside.

Yay! Cake for breakfast Yummy!

Cake looks lush. Why must you tempt me?!

AP, the whole point of Princess Awesome's every-flavour cakes is that if you think of what flavour you want (and what ingredients you don't want) while you slice yourself some, you get exactly what you want.

And no temptation involved in a webboard cake. No calories, no guilt, no temptation.

;-)

*cuts a slice, thinking of moist mocha espresso cake*

Temptation in the sense that I am willing to drive down to the local store in my jammies whilst it's raining to buy a delish triple choc cake. Did I mention the rain!?

A little rain never stopped me doing what I liked.

Of course, I have always lived in the greater Seattle area, where it rains all the time, regardless of anything you might view on the Weather Channel. :whistle:

Plus I have webbed feet and would never touch an umbrella.

:wave:
So about two months ago, I supposedly came back and decided to be active on here again, and somehow ended up disappearing again! :no: Anyway, this time around I solemnly swear that I will be more active amongst my fellow Hogwartians :)

Is it too late to eat the muffins that Anhelda so kindly left for me two months ago? Don't they have some kind of charm on them that keeps them from going bad?

Torrential rain!

Anyway, back to some business case productio[zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]n

Welcome back, Lumos! If those muffins haven't been eaten by students/animals then I suppose go for it. I, personally, am grabbing a slice of that cake. :drool:

Blast! Muffins are gone! :grumble: I just finished binging on some cheese and crackers, but I wouldn't mind if Anhelda whipped up another magical delicacy :eyebrows:

Last month I had some cheese and crackers at a vineyard's wine tasting on LI's north fork. I still don't actually know what most of those cheeses were, though I know one was brie and one was some sort of very sharp provolone. I just know they weren't like any other cheeses I'd had before.

Sweet lord, you're making my mouth water! Cheese is just about one of my favorite things in the world! Can we get a cheese platter up in here?

Aw, Lumos, I'm flattered. How about this for a cheese board?

And, since you requested so sweetly, some muffins, with all my usual keep-fresh, name-your-own-flavor, and self-replenishing charms. Enjoy!

Holy ****, that looks AMAZZZINNGG!!! :drool:

Thanks!!! :clap:

I have a new pet. :clap: It shoots rainbows out of its' butt. Can you guess what it is.

i'm afraid to answer.

:hmm:

Anyway, I just realized that we've gone over 100 posts in here and haven't had a single cake yet...that's just wrong. So, here we are:

... Chonklit?

Oooh! Cheese! You made me one happy camper.

I thing that is what happens when you try to type with Chocolate covered finger. :lol:

Surreal moment of the day: I'm on webcam/microphone with my prospective girlfriend, and out of nowhere, my stupid cat digs into a paper bag. Well, the lady in question insists that I show her, so I turn the camera on the cat, then she pulls out a random fortune cookie and starts batting it around, hugging it to her stomach, and throwing it. I think the low point was when she tossed it, it landed right next to her, and her idea of chasing it was to... roll on her back, reach her claws in the opposite direction, and... yawn then give up. So yeah, I have a cat who, apparently, can't take down a fortune cookie.

Luckily, the lady in question disagrees with me - she thinks it's cute rather than pitiful that I have the Worst. Hunter. Ever.* as my pet.



* I actually do have to give her SOME credit. A few weeks ago she managed to catch a moth, a considerable improvement from the previous month when she spent an hour hiding in the litterbox from one. Yet for some reason, when she decided to try to eat it, she just ate the wings and left the body sitting on my comforter. It also took her about 15 minutes to even make the kill instead of letting it go then staring at the ceiling while "roo?"ing.

:lol: Great story, APolaris!

:lol:

No, it's what happens when I spell chocolate the way I ususally pronounce the word with a chunk of it in my mouth.

Even with one finger hunt-and-peck typing I spell better than that.

AP, any girl would think that was cute and adorable. We're not looking for superior hunting skills in our boyfriends' pets.

Mother issues, me thinks! :grumble:

Oh, I don't deny that she's cute. I just think she's cuteness incarnate to look at (even if her eyes are the Embodiment of Evil) but pitiful to watch.

Then again, I suppose this is actually an improvement anyway. I mean, losing to a fortune cookie isn't quite as sad as, say, backing away from a piece of steak then running like hell. Or, for that matter, getting scared and hiding for three hours from... air. Yes, the latter is true; it happened the last time I tried to take her outside.

My Kiki did that the other day. Of course it wasn't air she was hiding from. It was the rain and she hid under the bed.

My mug changes colour when something warm is in it .

Isn't it just as likely she got bored with the fortune cookie as it made no hint of either running away or bleeding when she clawed it?

It's sad your pet is a fraidy-cat, AP, but don't take it too seriously. Maybe she just needs some affectionate rough-housing. That's one of the things Tinkerbelle loves best, and why she (and I) is happiest when Sage & the girls are here to play with her.

Mine turns friendly, brave, and affectionate at night and in the morning. Actually, the turning point seems to be about a half hour after whenever I get out of the shower, whether that's 9 am or (more frequently these days) 2:30 pm. It's led me to the theory that what she really fears might be clothing, although she's perfectly content to use it as a bed when it's just laying around.

what she really fears might be clothing. . .

:wow:

My cat is ten times more likely to pounce on me if I'm wearing a bathrobe than if I'm in jeans and a t-shirt. And she stays far away from my skin, because she knows she'll be in trouble if she draws blood.

:relax:

I almost thought that said your mum changes color. I was wondering if your mother was some sort of odd metamorphmagus or something. ;)

BTW, I see when I am gone for two days you bring out the food. :( Of course, I see the cheese and muffins are still here so I shall partake.

Oh, another BTW, my lappy is being sent to me as we speak and should be here Monday. That's earlier than I expected. I think as soon as I get it I'm making a new icon for my signature, something DH1 related.

(You like Disney, don't you?) :huggles:

Anhelda, that's a beautiful cake! Will you do one on the 30th of November for me? Being that my mom has to go out of town to sign papers with her siblings to close on grandpa's house, my brother & sister-in-law will be flying back from Seattle, and my friend at work is on vacation that week, I am looking at having a pretty lame and boring birthday.

My birthday is 2 weeks to the day after blondie's, apparently.

You guys should switch days. Just cause.

Note to self- Never go over to KID's House if invited over for a quick bite . :whistle:

Nice Kitty,Nice Kitty,kitty, kitty ,how about a nice jookyle or Leah49 sandwich ?

Walks slowly towards the door . Don't make eye contact ,don't make eye contact, ah finally the door,twins bolts outside to get Hagrid so he can remove the nice kitties from the HCR.

they don't bite unless provoked. if you start to play with them, they won't attack. if you try to hurt me or any slytherins, and a few other select house members, then they will bite. they truley are sweeties- liking a nice belly rub. i also have the smaller version- the cubs just love human contact, and a nice warm basilisk steak.

i also have these (http://cheezdailysquee.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/5d48679e-9228-411b-9848-a50f62b0bed2.jpg)....

KID, do you have a zoo around your dorm? The tigers are ok, but peacocks really?

well....peacock are beautiful. high maintenance, but i like 'em.

and no, they are at my property. i would never bring a peacock to school. or a tiger. too dangerous. i'd rather release the basilisk before i do that. those are prized animals- hogwarts is not the proper place for them.

Likes the Albino Peacock do you get them from the same source as the Malfoy's ?

The only knock on Peacocks is they can be very loud when they sing .


In RL we have them living in a small zoo park downtown where I live . They are beautiful but loud.

Muggle do-dads!!! :argh: :argh: :argh: well so here's the story. my father spilled his :relax: into our tower so now I have no internet. :upset: :upset: and it feels like sometime before we get it back. I will try to check in every week.

I am not going to say.

Yay, Leah's back! :huggles:

Yep, I'm back, but I will be gone this weekend. Going to my niece's baby dedication. I'm so excited because I get to see my little Lillie.

Showing off my signature and avatar. I'm not sure how much I like my avatar, but it'll do.

Oh EM GEE... I'm going to the midnight premiere tonight and I can't take the excitement!!!

:clap:

I'm at work and I can't focus! :argh:

Waiting for the fervor to die down. Of course, I still can't concentrate; unless I'm chained to a chair with nothing within my reach but my textbooks. Or at work, where we only have intranet and can't look at anything not work related.

That sounds like fun. I'm not meeting up with my sister until 8:30.

Well we're going to dinner beforehand and probably won't even get to the restaurant until around 8. Hopefully we'll be at the theater by 10:30! I'm a little nervous that we're going to be cutting it close!! But I got to the theater for HBP at 11 and even though the theater was packed we still got good seats. I'm crossing my fingers! :D

No spoilers in the HCR, please, from all you peeps who are crazy enough to go to midnight premiers. I desparately want to wait until the first week of December to see this one, and I don't want it ruined for me.

Can we use spoiler tags, Lyra?

No spoilers in the HCR, please, from all you peeps who are crazy enough to go to midnight premiers. I desparately want to wait until the first week of December to see this one, and I don't want it ruined for me.

I second this--I'm fairly positive that I won't be seeing HP this weekend, and possibly not until Thanksgiving or later, so I also request that spoilers be avoided or at least kept under spoiler tags for a little while. Thanks in advance! :)

Can we use spoiler tags, Lyra?

If you muhn, dearie, but I'd really prefer that you do all your discussing of the movies in Muggle Studies instead of here. Here is for relax, eat cake, drink coffee, read books, and chat with people from all Houses about just stuff. Just stuff, not necessarily Harry Potter stuff.

Because I hated getting spoiled for reading HBP by people who just couldn't shut up about "ZOMW Snape killed Dumbledore !!!!111!"

... Oh yeah, that release was today, wasn't it? Hahaha.

Oh well, at least now I have enough tutoring jobs to afford a trip to see the film at all.

The only thing I'll say about the movie, besides that I really enjoyed it, was someone behind me fell asleep!

That'll be SageRacer, I bet, when we go see it... later. Unless, of course, he's needed to keep the BeckaFly from dying of acute HateHarryPotterMovieItis.

I know. :D

:huggles:

Because I hated getting spoiled for reading HBP by people who just couldn't shut up about "ZOMW Snape killed Dumbledore !!!!111!"

By the time I started reading HBP (or any of the books really), that spoiler was already up there with "Vader is Luke's father" and "Aeris dies at the end of disc 1." I'd imagine the less famous spoilers would be more bothersome, such as "the locket is a fake."

I"m purposely avoiding the threads on the DH movie. I'm not going to get to see if for a few more weeks.

Ok I promise, absolutely no spoilers. All I will say is that I can't believe how FANTASTIC it was. Far exceeded my expectations! :clap:

AND I won some posters for answering trivia questions before the movie started. I was the freak sitting at the edge of my seat waving my wand in the air yelling "I KNOW IT! I KNOW IT!" :D

:rotfl:

AP, I didn't hear any other spoilers before reading HBP; I did a pretty good job of avoiding them. It was my teenage sons who blurted out the "Snape Kills Dumbledore!!"

I was furious with the movie theatre last night. We went to see Megamind, as I have a policy against going to popular movies on opening night. They cancelled all their later showings of Megamind to put Harry up on more screens. So we drove down to Auburn after supper and saw Megamind an hour later than I'd planned, which means we got to bed really late. Now I'm too tired to study before work.

It's not as though the theatre was mobbed with HP fans, anyway. There were no crowds, no long queues; just a line on the ticket sales readerboard saying all showings of Megamind have been cancelled. :grumble:

Ah well, Megamind was very good. Hilarious, actually, we laughed a lot. And I might go see HP: DH next week, after all. KitKatVik gets to see it in IMAX along with the HP Exhibit with her school. Why didn't my school do stuff like that? And BeckaFly isn't really interested in HP, and might IMO be too young. So, perhaps I'll drag SageRacer to see it on the Thanksgiving weekend instead.

Now, I have a research paper due Tuesday. I've printed out pages and pages of research on the topic... and I have no ability to concentrate on them. Help!

Places everything Lyra needs( books, references, food, toilet, paper& pens ) inside an isolation booth, sends her inside and closes the door, there no distraction to keep you from finishing the work you need to do.

"Water! Please, water (not from the toilet! EW!) I haven't written a single word because all I can think about is how thirsty I am!!"

Also, paper & pens are no help when I am required to turn in an electric copy. Which is probablyy a good thing, as the more I use this KeyboardCharm thing the more illegible my handwriting becomes.

That depends, Lighty, on whether we're talking about an opinion on Snape, or an opinion something much less important, like, say, global warming or the modern slave trade. :shrug:

I'm not sure. Depending on the mod in question, some will delete part of your post and even give you warning points simply for disagreeing with their own opinion, while ignoring blatant rudeness from those who agree with them. Generally, though, if the person has crossed the line between debating a point and personally attacking you, then if you report the person (there's a report function on every post) a mod will look at the post (it's fairly prompt usually). On this site, that line just happens to be so strict that you can actually face warning points merely for telling a person their point is poorly thought out or irrational (again, unless certain mods agree with your side). In your case I lean towards thinking they'd probably take the report seriously, if the person was really saying that.

Is it just me, or if Snape became a musician, would he greatly resemble Steve Vai?

There aren't any up right now. They seem to come along once or twice a year, 'cause I joined about 5 months ago and there's only been one section of one contest since I joined.

Oh :( Well that's sad :no:

Well the Holiday Calendar is up but it's not really a contest.

No worries, mate, you were helpful. Really. Also it snowed here yesterday, and everyone knows that the greater Seattle area ceases to function when it snows, so school has been cancelled. I still feel like I should do my best to finish my paper and turn it in, though.

On Snape-the-musician: Vai, no. Too pretty-boy, he'd have had no trouble with Lily being more attracted to the handsome James Potter, and the nose is all wrong.
Akopyan, now; I have no trouble at all picturing him as Snape. Much better nose for the part than Rickman, IMO. Only real difference between him and the Snape in my imagination is the strong, squarish jawline and the lack of greasy hair and yellowed teeth. :whistle:

See, I'm not in my right mind. I risk offending Snape's fangirls by describing his less attractive features and his physical lack of resemblance to Alan Rickman. I do hope no one actually takes offense, though, as I don't believe that describing Snape's physical appearance as described in the books qualifies as character bashing.
