.


For Halloween Violent and I charmed a bunch of Jack-o-lanterns and had them bite all of the first year students. We had to include some of our first years so it could not be traced back to us. It was the best prank EVER!!!
After we set them loose, we went into the forest with Forenze to work on our Astronomy project. I think Violent might be sweet on him. She has now been finding reasons to go and visit him. It is cute.

That punk kid Rufus has been following Tia around like a bad rash and even sent her some flowers that he charmed to sing to her. They were cute for about 10 minutes then I had to toss them into the fire place.

I sent out my package to my Ravenclaw gal, I have not heard if she has received it yet. I hope she likes it.

busy week

This week has been busy between birthday celebrations, homework, detention from the Potions mess last week. Which I found out there were three items labeled wrong while sorting through all 1000 of them.

Petunia sent me a birthday owl and while it was sitting on my shoulder waiting for its treat it bit me. Blasted bird took a bite out of me and took some skin so it did not get a treat. I figure my skin was treat enough for it.

Dean came over and brought his brother Sam for a visit. He brought me a present, a collection of potion books from the 1800. Now that is the best gift a girl can get.

He looks a bit tired and needs a shave too.

here is my RAOK from Petunia.

Chapter 10

It begins with Professor Trelawney giving a card reading. The results do not make much sense when reading the chapter and you think it is another one of her drunken statements. As the story continues, you do realize there is some merit to her babbling.

Harry wonders if going into the Pensive will help him survive against Voldemort. Professor Dumbledore answers neither yes nor no but says "It has a very great deal to do with the prophecy."

It is where we follow Bob Ogden's memory and see what a horrible life a family that lives only in the past and on pride can have. Years of in-breeding causing insanity to run in the Gaunt family vein. Lack of sense, delusions of grandeur squandered family gold leaves the last of Salzar Slytherin's family in poverty. Not exactly what I think he had wanted.

We meet Merope Voldemort's mother and Tom Riddle Senior. We know she used the Imperius Curse on him and quite possibly a love potion to gain access to his "love". In less than a year, Merope being delusional about love stops using both on Tom and he finally wakes up, realizes the error he made and leaves Merope pregnant.

By doing this, this pushes the already mentally fragile Merope over the edge and she slowly starts dying.

We do find out that Professor Dumbledore has found the ring-with the Perverell coat of arms engraved on the stone-, was wearing it when him and Harry went to talk with Professor Slughorn (who is an excellent POTIONS teacher). It is also left for translation, that is how the Professor injured his hand.

It now shows us that the GREAT LORD VOLDEMORT is nothing but a fake and not the Pureblood that he says he is. Carring on the great family pride and deluisions of grandeur.

Wednesday all ready

Wow!!!
Hogsmead was a fun-fun-fun time. I am so glad there is the rule of no picture taking cause some of us were rather naughty this weekend.

I went with Petunia, Violent, and Thomasina into town. They are all first years and it was rather fun. We hit all of the regular stops and picked up what we needed. Violent does need to special order somethings from France of us to use in Potions Class. Monday we did have a disaster and our project just spewed all over and kept growing and fizzing. While it was rather funny, the Professor was NOT amused. We have detention on Saturday. MY FIRST.

Violent and I agree that his ingredients were mislabeled otherwise it would not have happened. But you can not argue with the Professor because HE is never wrong.

Anyway, back to town and what happened.

We all went over to Hog's Head for a few cups of our favorite beverage and me being muggle raised, I thought I would teach the girls a bar game that we play back home. It is called QUARTERS.

You use an American quarter, a shot glass filled with your tasty shot flavor and skill. NO MAGIC.
What you do is you try to bounce the quarter into the shot glass and make a person drink the shot. You keep doing this until you miss and then it is the next person's turn. It was fun and we all became rather intoxicated in a short amount of time.

This is when Violent noticed the pool table in the corner and asked if anyone wanted to play. So, we all moved over to the pool table. I have to admit I am hopeless at this game and quickly lost the right to play for the rest of the afternoon. Violent, it seems is a pool shark and won quite a bit of money that afternoon. Petunia was good as well.
Petunia and I can not carry a tune we found out when we were doing karokee. That is the fun thing about karokee is you can be absolutely horrible and people will still like it. Although, I think a song we sang instigated a fight that trashed part of the bar. We shall take Lita Ford off of the play list and put Barry Manilow back on.

I need to gauge Petunia and her drinking much better cause she had to visit the infirmary and I had the special pleasure of wearing regurgitated firewhisey and spiked pumpkin juice.

I do believe I saw Rufus there kissing Tia and that no good Vampire was there as well doing to tonsil hockey with Petunia too..i thought he was with Andromedia.

Dean came to town and it is nice to see him.

too many different blogs...

The first week

has gone by quickly. Violent (YES, I know what her name is this one suites her, trust me) is in two of my classes. Potions and herbology.

I am trying not to get cranky with her when she says (which is quite often) "We do things better at Beauxbatons or At my old school we did things better." I am sure things were different there and maybe there done better, but you can not make friends by saying that all of the time. seriously, just go with the flow...

She is getting some of her old books from her Father and I am excited about that. WE talk endlessly about potions. Prof. Slughorn has been rather tedious to deal with since neither of us are his 'pet favorites.' We made our class project perfectly and he gave us a passing. On the way out, I slimed his chair. :)

Minee is still turning green, today is her last day of that.

My roommates are great and we are getting along so far. I am glad we have the largest room between the two dogs and all of our fiber products, potions, herbs and books, there is little room to move about.

I really should take a picture of our room.

Off to find my cheerleading outfit they hid on me.

Picture Day!!

ish I hate getting my picture taken. but one must do what one must do. no one said how current the picture had to be...

Thursday

I can not stop laughing this week. Poor Minerva Kwikspell keeps turning GREEN and Madam Pomfrey can not stop it from happening nor understand why it is happening so sporadically.

I have also seen some Hufflepuff girls I think they are first terms turning into Canaries. Poor Dears, I thought we were not going to see another case of that again. This is not my doing...HONESTLY

Time for me to go find Violent and make something happen in Potions then we are off to Herbology.

turn around,

is fair play right?!

As most of you know I left Ravenclaw this term and became Slytherin. And as most of you know I have a sweet tooth. I went to my favorite place to get some candy, Ms Minerva Kwikspell and while I was giving the new student Violent Black a tour of Hogwarts me being me I shared my candy with her and a short while later Violent is on her way to visit Madame Pomfrey.

All I have to say is someone is going to be turning green off and on during the first day of school.

Thursday

I spent the day with Violent Black. She is nice, a bit snotty she ate all of my candy too. Going to have to be carefull around her, since I now know she has a sweet tooth too.
I hope Minee has some for sale so I can restock.

We do have the same interests in books and we both HATE divination with a passion. "Death is at your door." oooo...what garbage...please tell me something useful.

Violent said she would help me learn French. I think that will be funny to hear me speak French with my Mid-Western accent.

Isis is doing her back scratch on the carpet and groaning and grunting. I wonder if she is part pig?

Today while I had my nose in a book an owl dropped me a package. It is from my new dorm mate, Lavender Diggory-Dolohov. She is Head Girl this term and I am a Prefect. Still not sure how that happened but the Professors know what they are doing right?

See all of my goodies?

!the house cats thought the package smelled good too.
Bo, is visiting Isis before term starts show off their goodies.


there are 3 THREE skeins of Cascade yarn, a journal, reading glasses, a blow horn and pom-poms for cheer leading during Quidditch, a Slytherin patch, an Owl of my very own (cause i do not have one),and my favorite, snap snot.

Wednesday

It is a slow quiet morning waking up in a new dorm room. Isis has taken up most of the bed. I am still in amazement that a dog who is only 24 inches tall and 36 inches long can do that. Plus she burrowed under the covers and managed to take most of them too.

Isis is not magical like Grimm but she gets along with him just fine. It is funny watching them together because she is all dog and pretty much a spaz running, sniffing, digging, and rolling in whatever suites her fancy.
She crawled into that box and sat in front of the heater vent. She is my gift of giggles.

I was asked to be Prefect in Slytherin House and so far there has been alot of use of Muggle computers and spreadsheets. As of this morning we only have 3 people that have not updated their blogs. There have been emails and PMs sent out so it is our hope it gets done today.

It really does not take that long to do it. sigh..

OH NO!!!!!!!!!

Something happened over summer break while I was at the Twilight Summer School.

I am not saying it is good or bad because it is what it is.

All-in-all, summer was fun. I met a whole bunch of new people and learned so much over the break.

I will update what is going on with me in a few days.

This wonderful package was dropped on my dogs head. I get the feeling the Owl does not like dogs. I thought it was funny, Bo did not.

The candy was shared with my Friday Knit group and my hubby. I have 4 wonderful sock patterns , lots of new yarn to play with and more Ravenclaw colours. Now, maybe I can do one of those cool Ravenclaw socks from Emma W. or Minerva K.

Thanks Electra for spoling me!!!!!!!!!!
