My advice would be: don't be afraid to come back. If for some reason life gets in the way and perhaps you're not as active this year (or next year, or the year after that) as you would have liked, remember that HOL isn't going anywhere. The community here is so positive and welcoming that it might f...

Fame and glory all the way! (Honestly, sometimes I think I should have been a snake)

What is your favorite baked food?

Bella walked slowly into the Great Hall, and paused to take in the grandiose mix of colors and clean, neat layout of all the different booths. Bella had been away sick from school for a few years, and although all the buildings looked the same, she couldn't help but feel something was ... different ...

As I just created a new signature in August, I'm going to also use it as my name tag! My name tag features a blue, slightly fuzzy/pixelated background which is actually one of the first long exposure night-sky images I took with my new camera! You can even see a few stars. The color scheme is mostly...

My goals are:

1. Earn 300 points in at least one class
2. Earn at least 4 quills this year
3. Complete at least 3 OWLs.
4. Participate in at least one RQT match
5. Become a Reserve Prefect

Fingers crossed ... better get to work!

Though I do enjoy tea a lot. Well, its herbal/fruit tea so TECHNICALLY not tea, buut.. My favorite is either Peach or Chamomile with Lemongrass, Lavender, and Honey. They also generally have a few other things mixed in like orange peels and such. There used to be a lovely tea shop a short drive awa...

Happy Birthday, Kathren! Have a magical day!

I used to go to Starbucks WAAAAAAY too much. My go-to order was a Matcha iced latte, light ice, soy milk with an everything bagel, warmed, with cream cheese.

I also really enjoyed Matcha frappucinos, seasonal frappucinos and basically anything with whipped cream. It's my 2nd favorite food

I've been doing a form of muggle camping. Instead of apparating into a forest, we've parked our camper in a public campsite and told ourselves we were "getting back to nature and roughing it." Same here, sort of! A muggle friend was going on vacation so I'm looking after their cat while they're gon...

Wow that actually sounds pretty fun!

What was so good about Seasons? I never got to play it..

My favourite series would have to be The Obernewtyn Chronicles by Isobelle Carmody. Definately tops the Potter Series (although I haven't reread them in a while)

I also like the House Of Night series by P.C and Kirsten Cast

I only recently got Sims 3. I don't have any expansions but I love the game already! I turned the aging process to slow because I don't want my sims to get old and die.. Well I do, but more slowly! Next I'm going to try and have a kid. Oh the joys of virtual parenting.. And I only used the money che...

I currently don't play an instrument but I've secretly always wanted to learn to play the violin. If anyone knows where I should start (whether I should buy myself one or just get lessons etc) that would be much appreciated!

Hi everybody! I'm Bella Coupland, 2nd year Ravenclaw. I am studying Biology at university (hopefully I can use some of that knowledge to help us win!). I also think we should have some cookies, being on the Dark side and such.. *goes to help Eia Donne* Oh and perhaps we should start an IRC channel f...

I have the same question. I am completely stuck.

^ Same here Scarlet. I took a quick look at some of the clues and was like "hey this will be alright" .. then spend the rest of the time pulling my hair out hahaha

Task Two took me 2 and a half hours :/
