It's funny in places, but it's odd how boring some of my choices ended up being! Oh well, here it is anyway:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to tell you about the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;dreamy&lt;/span&gt; time I had in Diagon Alley last weekend! My friend &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Patonga Pinkstone&lt;/span&gt; and I decided that we really needed some new &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cable needles&lt;/span&gt; and had to get over to Diagon Alley immediately. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Patonga&lt;/span&gt; put on her &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;belt&lt;/span&gt; because it was &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;bright&lt;/span&gt; and did not want to get a cold. I grabbed my &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;notebook&lt;/span&gt; and we headed to the trains.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While waiting for our train to Diagon Alley, we chatted with &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Prendolyn the Weird&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Victoria Pettigrew&lt;/span&gt; who were planning to visit Gringott’s. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Victoria&lt;/span&gt; did not want to go alone because she was collecting a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;kitten&lt;/span&gt; that was very &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;adequate&lt;/span&gt; and brought &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pren&lt;/span&gt; along for her excellence in protecting spells.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The train arrived and off we went. Our seats were very comfortable and the train sped along towards Diagon Alley and we were there in a flash! Before heading to Yrsa’s Yarn Shoppe, we went into an &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;armchair&lt;/span&gt; that sells &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;slimy&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ice cream&lt;/span&gt;!!! As we neared the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;armchair&lt;/span&gt;, we noticed quite a lot of commotion! The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;armchair&lt;/span&gt; owner had set the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ice cream&lt;/span&gt;-making machine and it had gotten stuck! Ice cream was &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;descending&lt;/span&gt; everywhere! I ducked as a cream-filled &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ice cream&lt;/span&gt; came &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;descending&lt;/span&gt; right at me and it &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;exhausted&lt;/span&gt; into Professor &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Snape&lt;/span&gt;’s &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;sock&lt;/span&gt; just as he walked through the door! A &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cinnamon&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ice cream&lt;/span&gt; did a nose dive and splattered all over the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;door&lt;/span&gt; most elaborately! We made it out of the store just as an &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ice cream&lt;/span&gt; frog and a kettle of Bertie Bott’s every flavor beans collided in a rainstorm of goo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we were still &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;vertical&lt;/span&gt;, we walked the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;thirteen&lt;/span&gt; blocks over to Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor! I decided on a cone with &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;chocolate&lt;/span&gt; ice cream and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Patonga&lt;/span&gt; got the hot fudge sundae with extra &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;sour cream&lt;/span&gt;! Yummy! Professor &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Snape&lt;/span&gt; had made his way over here as well after the incident at the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;armchair&lt;/span&gt; shoppe and had chosen a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;lemonade&lt;/span&gt; float.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, we passed Gringott’s and headed to Yrsa’s Yarn Shoppe! I tried not to look at the beautiful skeins of silk and bamboo and wool and instead, headed toward the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cable needles&lt;/span&gt; while &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Patonga&lt;/span&gt; stopped to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;meander&lt;/span&gt; the stitch markers. I found a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;buttery&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cable needle&lt;/span&gt; made out of steel and made my purchase. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Patonga&lt;/span&gt; kept hedging between the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cable needle&lt;/span&gt; she came for and a pattern for a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;blanket&lt;/span&gt;. She chose the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;blanket&lt;/span&gt; pattern and we walked back towards the train station just in time to make the 12:30 train. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After sitting down, we noticed &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pren&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Victoria&lt;/span&gt; were on the train as well. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Victoria&lt;/span&gt; looked quite &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;sweet&lt;/span&gt; to have the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;kitten&lt;/span&gt; with them. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pren&lt;/span&gt; however did not look &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;sweet&lt;/span&gt; at all. While waiting to go into the vault, a baby goblin waiting in line with his Mommy had &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;slept&lt;/span&gt; on &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pren&lt;/span&gt; getting &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;tacos&lt;/span&gt; all over her clean robes! The smell really was just horrendous! Apparently, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pren&lt;/span&gt;'s protecting spells don’t work well against &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;tacos&lt;/span&gt;!! We made our way to a less smelly compartment and talked about how we were going to explain missing Professor &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;McGonagall&lt;/span&gt;’s lecture on the valuable ways &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;hippogryffs&lt;/span&gt; are working with the Department of Mysteries in solving unsolvable &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;iPods&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/2490195693832747783-8065930620215794264?l=hsks7.blogspot.com" width="1" height="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6394931683593475481-982851500969852122?l=andromachetonks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andromachetonks.blogspot.com/feeds/982851500969852122/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6394931683593475481&amp;postID=982851500969852122' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6394931683593475481/posts/default/982851500969852122'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6394931683593475481/posts/default/982851500969852122'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andromachetonks.blogspot.com/2009/04/mad-lib.html' title='Mad Lib!'/><author><name>Michelle</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6m3rI46dLSM/Sgc5pOemx8I/AAAAAAAAACo/NmtqDP9so9I/S220/me2.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394931683593475481.post-3613689220175257570</id><published>2009-04-23T15:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-23T15:58:00.540-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ravenclaw Homework!</title><content type='html'>Obviously, we are doing Mad Libs this week.

On which day did the Order of the Phoenix come to get Harry?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;c. Saturday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. During all this chaos with Voldemort and the Death Eaters, people still had lives to live and Ron's oldest brother, Bill decided to marry Fleur Delacour? Who were the uninvited guests at Bill and Fleur's wedding?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;b. Death Eaters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Voldemort had seven Horcruxes hidden in different places. Six of them were hidden at the Gaunt shack, Hogwarts, a cave, inside Harry, inside his snake, Nagini and Tom Riddles Diary. Did Voldemort hide the last Horcrux inside the Malfoy's vault at Gringotts?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;b. No&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Why did the Dumbledore's move to Godric's Hollow?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;c. The father went to Azkaban&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Harry and Hermione read a part of "Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore," written by Rita Skeeter. Then they met Dumbledore's brother Aberforth and he told them the same story, just with a few details changed. Which of the following did Aberforth and Rita Skeeter agree on about Dumbledore's past?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;b. That Dumbledore was friends with Grindelwald for a while.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. When Harry and Hermione visit Godric's Hollow, they visit the graveyard to see Harry's parents' graves. Harry walks by a tombstone that we later learn belong to tone of "The Three Brothers." The brother buried there once owned what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;b. The cloak&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. The Trio finds out that Luna had been kidnapped by the Death Eaters , and that they won't give her back until they got Harry Potter. Why did they kidnap Luna?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;a. Her father sided with Harry and Dumbledore&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. After Voldemort killed Snape, he left the room and Harry came out from under the cloak. Snape gave Harry some of his memories all the way from when he was a child to just months before. Harry dived into the Pensieve and which of the following did he not see?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;c. Snape and Lily having fun in a potions class&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. On the search of the Lost Diadem, Harry finally gets to talk to the Gray Lady. Who was the Gray Lady when she was alive?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;c. Helena Ravenclaw.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Which of these is not one of Harry or Ron's children?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;d.

I've been so busy with  (school)work and things that I've hardly had a chance to talk to anyone! Today's busy-ness was of a fun nature, though. We went to see Coraline 3D! I'd already read the book so I was very interested to see how the movie came out (and how well the 3D effects worked with it). I was VERY impressed! The movie was great and the 3D definitely seemed to add to it--it wasn't just a gimmick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you still have the chance to see it in 3D, you should try to go! (Unfortunately, it got kicked off most 3D screens as of yesterday so the Jonas Brothers movie could take over the space--Bleh.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that we went to Mom's for dinner and visiting.

What momentous event was the reason that the members of the Order of the Phoenix felt it necessary to move Harry out of the Dursley’s house?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;d. Harry’s upcoming birthday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Who revealed the actual date of Harry’s transfer to Voldemort, despite the misinformation the Order had been spreading around that the move would occur on the eve of his actual birthday?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;b. Snape&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. With the use of Polyjuice Potion (and to confuse any possible attack by Death Eaters), six member of the Order were disguised as Harry and escorted out of Privet Drive, along with the real Harry. Which member of the order did not survive that night?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;a. Mad-Eye Moody&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Who informed Harry, Ron and Hermione of the bequests left to them in Dumbledore’s will?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;d. Rufus Scrimgeour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. During the wedding celebration for Bill and Fleur, Kingley Shacklebolt sent a Patronus to tell the guests that the Ministry had fallen, Scrimgeour (the Minister) was dead and the wedding celebration was about to be attacked by Death Eaters. What form did the Patronus take?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a. A lynx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Escaping from the wedding to London, our three friends found themselves confronted by a pair of Death Eaters, disguised as workmen. This close brush impressed on them the need to find someplace to hide. Where did they decide to go?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;b. Sirius Black’s house&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Kreacher’s animosity towards Harry, Ron and especially Hermione (a Mudblood) was well documented in book five, “The Order of the Phoenix.” His initial interaction with them showed that his attitude had not changed. How did they win him over?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;d. By giving him Regulus Black’s old locket&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Who did they eventually find was in possession of the locket/Horcrux?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;d. Dolores Umbridge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. What did Harry find embedded in the door of Umbridge’s office?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;a. Moody’s magical eye&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. After retrieving the Horcrux, they tried to return to their safe place but they were pursued (actually Yaxley tagged along when they disapparated). This meant that the Death Eaters knew their hiding place and they had to go somewhere else. Where did Hermione take them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;d.

I'm back from Hawaii and settling in at Hogwarts (only a week or so later than everyone else...). Can't wait to meet more of my schoolmates--this term is going to be fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's my homework for the week:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;1- What form does your Patronus take? What does it symbolize for you?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mountain lion. Strength, courage, and resilience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;2- Did you bring a cat, an owl, a toad, or other pet with you? What is their name?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cat; her name is Tobias (Toby for short).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;3- What is your favorite class here at Hogwarts?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arithmancy--I love numbers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;4- What is worth sneaking out of the castle for, even if you got caught?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Escaping to spend time at a yarn shop or with a knit group is ALWAYS worthwhile!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;5- What has made you laugh so hard that you've had butterbeer come out your nose?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My brother--when he gets on a roll, he's the funniest person ever. Even better when my brother and my husband start playing off each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;6- What yarn do you covet? Link please...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm. I'm not sure there is a specific yarn I'm coveting at the moment. I love indie-dyed sock yarns with a passion, though--I'm sure there are many out there I haven't experienced yet! If I stumble on something specific, I'll come back and update this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;7- What is your favorite flavor... the one thing you could simply not live without? Is brand important?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lemon...? Not sure what my favorite flavor is--I like lots! As such, no, I don't think brand matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;8- How many HSKS terms have you participated in?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my third! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;9- Do you have a birthday, anniversary or other big Muggle event during this year at Hogwarts? If yes, please tell us what.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Er, not exactly...not a traditional event anyway. However, next Saturday (Feb 21) marks two years cancer-free, so to me that's a pretty big day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;10- You in 5 words.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kind, empathetic, analytical, creative, stubborn.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6394931683593475481-1066621078766727404?l=andromachetonks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andromachetonks.blogspot.com/feeds/1066621078766727404/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6394931683593475481&amp;postID=1066621078766727404' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6394931683593475481/posts/default/1066621078766727404'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6394931683593475481/posts/default/1066621078766727404'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andromachetonks.blogspot.com/2009/02/week-2-homework.html' title='Week 2 Homework'/><author><name>Michelle</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6m3rI46dLSM/Sgc5pOemx8I/AAAAAAAAACo/NmtqDP9so9I/S220/me2.png'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394931683593475481.post-9141941864120705693</id><published>2009-02-06T10:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-06T10:21:05.174-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Did I mention that I'm in Hawaii?</title><content type='html'>I took this photo just a few blocks from where I'm staying:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hellomoviehouse/3258699974/" title="Kailua Beach by hellomoviehouse, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3123/3258699974_1a5456bd8b_m.jpg" alt="Kailua Beach" height="180" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I've done a pretty good job this week of participating in Hogwarts happenings even though I won't really be joining you all at school until next week.
