HSS3 Yarn Prize

I just wanted to post quickly to show off the lovely sock yarn that I had won in one of the contests. For the life of me, I can't remember when it had arrived. But I absolutely love it. Thank you Cassandra!!! I also love the stitch markers. Sorry for the wait in my posting the thanks. And since I totally forgot that today is Tax Day here in the US, I will be waiting until tomorrow to mail out the package to my dear spoilee pal. At least the owl does not have far to travel. Just one state below me.

Hogsmeade Trip


Dear Diary,

I am soooo very excited. This weekend is our first trip to Hogsmeade. Hogsmeade has the distinction of being the only all wizarding villiage in Britain. I had read that it was founded over a thousand years ago by Hengist of Woodcroft as he was fleeing from Muggle persecution. After all the studying that has happened since the beginning of term, it will be nice to have a break. The first place I plan on going to is Honeydukes. Or maybe The Three Broomsticks for some butterbeer. Plus a trip to Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop for a new quill and some stationary. And who knows where else I will end up? I think that I will stay away from The Shrieking Shack though. It just looks really creepy. Mum told me that I had better behave myself or she will bring me straight home.

Huh?!?!?


Am I in the right house? I was taking some time from studying and thinking about the upcoming search for the Golden Snitch when I took another sorting quiz. This time it put me in Slytherin. This might be just a weird fluke. Mercury in retorgrade or something like that. But then I am still trying to figure out how Cho Chang got in Ravenclaw. But it does make me wonder how I might look in green. Things that make you go, hmmmmm.

Expecto Patronum!


Your Patronus would be a Phoenix!
Take this quiz!

"Your Patronus would take the form of a Phoenix. Phoenix come from Egyptian mythology. When it is time for them to die, they build a nest and burn themselves, only to be reborn from the ashes. They can also heal through its tears and chants. The Phoenix is a symbol or ressurection and immortality. They are benign and benevolent and exist to protect, not destroy."

The wand chooses the wizard


Wood type: cherry
Length: 11½ inches
Core: Dragon Heartstring

get your own wand!


Cherry:
Cherry wands are not only exceptionally beautiful, but also very useful. These wands excel in Divination spells, and the bearer often has an innate talent for diving things or else a strong intuition.

Dragon Heartstring:
Wands with Dragon Heartstring cores are excellent for hexes, or for dueling, not to mention fire magic. They tend to choose a witch or wizard who is strong not only physically, but also emotionally, and who usually has very strong opinions on things, though they often tend to be strong willed and thickheaded as well.

I kept telling myself that I was not going to do it. I was not going to sign up the latest Hogwarts Sock Kit Swap. There was way too much studying to be done. But everyone in Ravenclaw Tower was talking about it. So I blame it on peer pressure. Well, that is my story and I am sticking to it.
