Homework is Done!!

1- Who wrote the obituary of Dumbledore in The Daily Prophet? Elphias Doge

2- What is a Squib? A witch or wizard who can't perform magic. Like my Aunt Arabella. But she is still a member of the Order of the Phoenix and I'm really proud of the way she helps out.

3- Who stole the locket Horcrux from the Black House? Mundungus Fletcher

4- What are the Albus Dumbledores' siblings names? Aberforth and Ariana

5- Where did Hermione leave the money for the eggs and bread that they stole from the lonely farm? Under the chicken coop.

6- What is the quote Lily and James Potter have on their tombstone? "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."

 I'm not exactly sure what that means but I love reading the stuff people put on their tombstones. Does that make me wierd??

7- Why did Gilbert Grindewald leave wizarding school? He got expelled for performing dangerous magic on students. How embarassing.

8- Where does Xeno Lovegood first say that Luna is when Ron, Hermione and Harry visit? Collecting plimpies. I would love to know Luna. She sounds really interesting to me.

9- What wood is the wand from The Deathly Hallows supposed to be made out of? Elder wood.

10- How did Harry, Hermione and Ron escape the vaults of Gringotts? Riding a dragon. I love dragons. You can see pictures of them on my blog.

11- What is the name of the all-female Quidditch team that Ginny has a poster of in her room? Holyhead Harpies.

12- Describe what the Undetectable Extension Charm is. It makes the inside of a space larger than the outside. I want to learn this charm so I can use it for the box I store my yarn stash in. Seriously.

An Owl Came

An owl came yesterday with the best swap package ever. Squee! When I opened the box I found a great project bag containing the stuff for my bag felting project, cat toys!, gummy worms and cookies which were tasted and proclaimed excellent before I had a chance to photo anything. (If you click on the pictures they will get bigger and stop looking blurry....)
While I was taking photos, the catnip mouse was also "appropriated", tested and proclaimed to be most excellent.
Then I looked inside the felted bag kit and found yarn (with 2 colors of red so I could pick which one looked most Gryffindor), a pattern and Addi Needles. I need to make this bag to get over my fear of felting....


The red and gold bag is beautiful and will make a great project bag for medium sized projects. It has a place for storing knitting needles and a million pockets and the pockets were all FULL.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Gel pens (which I can never have enough of) PINK skull beads - SQUEE - and other findings to make stitch markers (because I like to make them), and tubes of pink, white and red and gold mixed beads, a red M&M tin for carrying stuff in knitting bags and Body Shop Papaya Body Butter which I will carry in my knitting bag for when I want to knit and my hands are dry.


Thank you Fleur for these most excellent gifts. You really went above and beyond. I hope you like your swap package as much!

Finished Carol's Shawl

My latest finished object. Made of Interlacements Toasty toes - and yeah, sometimes hand dyed yarn has color variations even within the same skein. The left side clearly doesn't match the right.

Darn muggle yarnz. Anyone know a color fixing spell??

Basilisk??

I got this new yarn this week:


It is called Basilisk and is made by Muggles who live in Germany. I didn't even knew that Muggles knew about Basilisks. But I think they are scary so I wouldn't use such pretty colors if I were going to dye yarn and call it Basilisk.

Arithmancy Homework

After solving the sudoku puzzle you get the letters EDIDNPLYTU. Rearranging them yields the character name Teddy Lupin.

Teddy is the child of Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks (my hero). Both of them died while Teddy was a baby (just like Harry Potter's parent's right?) in the battle at Hogwarts where Harry defeats Voldemort.

Homework

Its a good thing my mom doesn't read my homework. She might not approve....

"Harry looked around; there was Ginny running towards him; she had a hard, blazing look in her face as she threw her arms around him. And without thinking, without planning it, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching, Harry kissed her."
