Meh I wouldn't worry too much about it... The new term hasn't started yet (the students
are just heading home now). I'd make sure you post in proper colors once fall term starts
though! xd I actually got lectured on color postings my first day here. I (habitually) posted
in blue as a house elf lol. rolleyes Luckily forgetful lil me got reminded and didn't do it again. rofl

You probably know more about that part of the world than I do! I'm more acquainted with
the German part of my heritage than any other part. All four of my grandparents spoke it
to some degree (a couple fluently). I'd have to inquire with my dad on any further info. 3nodding
As for the return to the lovely Harry Potter, I do have an active imagination. emotion_kirakira I'm one of
those people that seemingly stare off into space but I'm really seeing what's in my mind's
eye as clear as a picture before me. I often find when writing that really immersing myself
in my world, even going so far as to talk out scenes between characters, is quite helpful. heart

Haha, well, when you study it in undergraduate courses, I would hope I might know something about it. The culture is fascinating, really.
I am glad to know that I'm not the only writer who immerses them-self into their stories. I always treat my characters more as legitimate beings rather than my own imagination. Quite a few of my plot-ines have been hijacked due to this, I'm sure.

Nikkiquin I was aware of the larger sized homes (which take forever to load and lag BADLY). I had
not heard of their being separate rooms in Gaia Homes (i.e. clicking on a door to enter a
different area in the same home/flash space). Are you sure both of those exist James? ninja
Randomly, you didn't address my earlier comments to you in reference to Dark LordS. Did
I clear up some confusion there? If not I could go into greater detail on their history. mrgreen
Also i didnt care about a dark lord other than the one from the books

Huh, I didn't see that announcement. Though to be fair I missed quite a few for a while
there. sweatdrop (I was offline more or less for about 5 months. It sucked.) I'll look in on that.
Well, Gellert Grindlewald is pretty important seeing as he's the reason Albus Dumbledore
is the way he is. It's literally the turning point in Dumbledore's life. So if nothing else you
should count Dark Lord Grindlewald (who comes up in the last book, Deathly Hallows). 3nodding
He's the reason Dumbledore even had the Elder Wand since Gel found it in the first place.

Ha! That's the best sign when your characters take over the story. heart You know they're
really alive and flowing through your fingertips when they suddenly change your whole
perspective on the narrative. I swear sometimes it feels like they know more than I do
lol. I've had times looking through a character's point of view where they're better able
to convey what I was trying to say and failing. It's amazing how perceptive they can be!
It's awesome that you've studied a fair bit about that part of the world. If I get back to
school someday I think I'll do my best to take at least a class or two on world studies. whee

Fair enough. 3nodding It's just that you'd said there was only one Dark Lord in Harry Potter
so I felt obligated to clarify. I'm really fond of Dumbledore related stuff (especially his
past) so I felt the need to speak up for dear Dark Lord Gellert. mrgreen Not to worry, Tom aka
Voldemort is one of my favorite characters as well. I have a lot of love for him too. wink

I always liked charms potions defense against the dark arts transfiguration and the apparation/flying classes cause those seemed like the most useful for witches and wizards that might see combat or for the every day witch and wizard anything else is just a hobby or for recluses
History of magic would be interesting but not useful for every one and divinations is only useful if you have the talent astrology is kind of interesting ancient runes is too focused on books and exploring old things and arthimacy is wizard math

Ah it's cool that you like Dumbledore as well! emotion_kirakira (My current avi is actually teenage
Albus because I adore him.) A story from his point of view would make my decade. rofl
Potions is my favorite type of class because I've always had a fascination with them.
When I was a kid I loved the pretend-play games where I was making potions... 3nodding
Charms is useful and also fun so it's in my top four as is Transfiguration. (Although,
Transfiguration being Dumbledore's favorite class probably helps its cause as well.)
DADA rounds out my top four class picks because I find learning about both sides of
something (conflicts, opinions or in this case magic) very important. Plus being able
to defend yourself is necessary as a wizard, right? wink
Apparition and Flying Lessons are par for the course (though the thought of flying
delights me), I don't like math so I'd probably hate Arithmacy. Ancient Runes and
Astrology are actual things I enjoy in real life... mrgreen I'd likely be interested in those
classes (plus ruins would be necessary for translating old potion texts). And as for
History of Magic, I'm sure at the basic introductory level I'd like it. Once it moves
onto tons of date memorization and endless droning about what feels like pointless
motes in wizard history I'd get fed up. xp

Potions then Transfiguration for sure. I always enjoyed English (my native language)
and Science classes in real life school. heart Chemistry was facinating and exciting. As
far as magically concerned thinking goes, I'm very interested in the ways in which
potion brewing and the ability to transform objects would impact ones daily life. 3nodding

I like the concept of thestrals (feared and misunderstood), so they're probably my favorite mythical beast in the Harry Potter world.
