Petrafing Draco Malfoy

Since the last million of my blog posts have been about final examinations—which is honestly the most boring topic in the galaxy—I've made an executive decision to change things up a bit. Plus, ya know, finals are over now.

I was doing the average pre-Christmas room cleaning, when I stumbled upon two books. Cleaning is boring and being sentimental is fun, so I spent half an hour being sentimental instead of cleaning. Thus, the bed of rooms is still very messy.

 The first thing I found was that Katherine and I wear the same glasses. It's pretty hard to tell from this picture, but I swear they look alike. I went for the stylin' charm eggplant color when I picked these rockin' frames out two years ago.

Book number two is one that I recie—(i before e except after c) . . . received when I was a wee lass in second grade. It's the Harry Potter Hogwarts Journal that I bought at the dollar store for like five dollars. Maybe you've seen it before in stores, but if you don't know what I'm talking about, the cover looks like this:

Oh gosh, I remember loving this thing. Here are some of my favorite pages:

A map of Hogwarts. As you can see, the common rooms are all in the corners of the castle with cleverly labeled "B" dormitories for boys and "G" dormitories for girls. The Quidditch pitch is on the right side there, and next to the Slytherin common room is the Whomping Willow. I would call this an exact if not almost exact replica of Hogwarts.

Secrets wishes of Hogwartians. Freedom for house "elfs," Hermione. Better memory, Neville. Playing Quidditch, Dean and "Simus" (I'm assuming it's Seamus we're talking about here). Being in Gryffindor, Cho Chang. Be with Cho, Cedric Diggory. Be a muggle, Luna Lovegood. Why does Luna want to be a muggle? Beats me.

This is just a simple picture of the Hogwarts houses and their colors. Apparently Hufflepuff is now orange and white and their mascot is the dog. The puli to be specific.

This is a picture I drew of standard Hogwarts attire. Most wizards do have obscenely long torsos and short legs. I love their elfish clogs, too. I have to admit, though, that that owl is pretty adorable.

Fun stuff: Petrafing Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. I can only assume I mean petrifying.

Most definitely my favorite of them all, I think this picture speaks for itself. Tell Percy he's fat. Even as a little kid I was a beast with the insults. (Ya-hoo.)

Also in my Hogwarts journal was a list where I listed everyone I knew and sorted them into Hogwarts houses. Coincidentally every boy I liked in the second grade (ah, the steamy second grade crushes I had) ended up in Gryffindor. But that's way too embarrassing to show pictures of.
