Feeling at Home

Well this room is starting to feel kind of homey. Matilda made a beautiful afghan (in Slytherin colors of course) and is using it on her bed. It looks so beautiful and warm and cozy. Daisy has been super busy knitting and shopping and putting together a wonderful package for her swap partner. And Narcissa, well I think Narcissa might be having strange dreams. Something is waking me up and night and I think that Narcissa may be grinding her teeth. I wonder if she has headaches when she wakes up? The pressure must make her head hurt. I'm going to look (without her knowing I'm looking) to see if her teeth are ground to an angle. Sometimes people who grind their teeth have angled teeth from the grinding back and forth.

My Snowy finally made it to Cliodna Hopkirk. I'm so relieved. I had given up hope and sent her a gift card. Now that they are both there she can enjoy the package and treat herself to some well deserved goodies as a college graduation present! I'm glad that Snowy is safe and I hope that Narcissa's cats like owls because Snowy certainly has had a rough few months and could use a good rest til her next journey in about a month.

Possible MIA for a Few Days

I just wanted to let you all know that I am in the process of moving yet again! I recently left my home in Belarus (where I'd been for only 9 months) and am currently living in Lithuania (in a hotel where I've been since May 3rd). I will be leaving to travel to my new home in Baku on Sunday. Posting from me may be scare over the next two weeks, but I will do my best to honor my committment to you all.

I promise I'm not a flake, just the victim of a political tit for tat between the US government and the government of Belarus. You can google for the details or visit my personal blog for some additional information (it really is kind of interesting).

This Term's Class Schedule

extra classes
Ancient Runes -


I took a special quiz today to see what classes I would excel in at Hogwarts and was very surprised by the results, here they are...

You would be best at Defense Against the Dark Arts! And now that everyone knows how important this is, I bet you're a popular person to have around. You can do some very powerful bits of magic, but only for a good cause. You have a strong sense of right and wrong, and aren't afraid to stand up and fight for what you know is right.

Use this magical link to see what class you will excel in.

Still Room for 2 More

Well I have two room mates and room for 2 more. So far my Slytherin room mates are Daisy Scrimgeour and Narcissa Shrivelfigs. We are just starting to get acquainted. I'm sure they are both fun girls and I look forward to getting to know them better this term. We have a huge room dorm room so I hope it fills up. Our common room is actually kind of creepy, there are no windows because it is under the lake and there are skulls everywhere. The color is perfect however; green!

Old Friend

I can't believe it. Today as I was strolling the halls trying to learn these new halls I ran in to an old friend Clidonia Acromantula. Clidonia is awesome. I wish I would have known she was coming to Hogwarts. She got sorted in to Hufflepuff (my old house). I would have loved to have her as a room mate.

I'm still waiting to see who my Slytherin housemates will be. Everyone else is walking around in their robes so I guess I better get out of this muggle gear and start looking the part!

HSKS5 Accepts New Students

WOW! I can't believe it. HSKS5 has room for more students. If you knit and like to have a lot of fun, this is the place for you. There aren't too many spots left so head on over to the main site and see what you need to do to register. You won't want to miss one more minute of the fun!

The Halls are a BUZZ!

There are students EVERYWHERE here at Hogwart's. I can't believe how busy the halls are. Everyone is moving about saying hello to old friends and making new friends. We are all really excited for the new students to arrive later tonight and to be sorted. I'm sure the houses will fill up quickly. There definitely is not much room left in Ravenclaw dormitory or the Slytherin dormitory.

Has anyone noticed how many Emma's are in Ravenclaw this semester? WOW~I don't know how we are going to keep them all straight.

I think there may be something going on in the Great Hall at some point today so I'm going to keep checking in...maybe I'll be able to catch the Sorting Hat ceremony!
