I Sinistro I Honestly, I wanted Ravenclaw but I got into Slytherin but I can kinda see why I was placed in Slytherin; I'm very ambitious, and I'm cunning, which is what Slytherins are known for: Their ambition and their cunning nature. But, I'm also smart like a Ravenclaw, and brave like a Gryffindor. . But, at the same time, Slytherin colours do look hot on me. Same with Ravenclaw colours! ;D dude, I'm exactly the same! xd I have an OC who's a Ravenclaw who hangs out mostly with Slytherins. 17-year-old 5th year who keeps getting held back because he steals potions ingrediants and goes into the restricted section of the library, as well as concocts alot of experiements that break school rules. whee

I didn't think Hogwarts held people back. I think they just serve or survive through terrible detentions or get kicked out. At least I haven't heard of anyone who has being kept back. If I could have an Hogwarts OC based off my Pottermore house, it'd be a muggl-born Slytherin.

Rune Chime I didn't think Hogwarts held people back. I think they just serve or survive through terrible detentions or get kicked out. At least I haven't heard of anyone who has being kept back. If I could have an Hogwarts OC based off my Pottermore house, it'd be a muggl-born Slytherin. I had assumed they had a system for punishments based on severity... that's what it came across to me when Ron and Harry were almost expelled in 2nd year.... but I like the sound of that! biggrin Slytherin House would be your character's means of proving her greatness in the face of her peers -- ironically also in Slytherin house! kind of an underdog type of story?

I suppose, I just never heard of a left behind character, then again we don't really hear much about the other houses in Hogwarts. Outside of those key character who end up representing their houses like Cho and Malfoy. Always annoyed me that Slytherin never got any recognition as good people, even when Slug brought reinforcements. Heck, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw didn't even get noticed really... I've always loved underdogs. Though it's more just an experiment to see if I could create such a character and turn her into a wanna-be hero or in this cause heroine.

Slughorn was manipulative, but caring. Snape was a jerkbag and used it as cover with others, but was still a jerkbag. As for Dumbledore, yeah we saw him as good for ages. So when it turns out he fell off the wagon once, we instantly forgive him...as does Harry over time. Black was black, a loyal immature jerk. He wasn't shaded in grey as much as he was immature and very stubborn. He never got over his pettiness, he didn't grow up really, and he refused to listen to authorities much like a teenage boy. As for Draco, I never really got anything other than that he didn't want to get blood on his hand, but really wanted to be admired. In the end, he kinda just lurked in the background and again no one noticed him. Like most good Slytherin.

Maerua Nariana What if later on we have another, bigger raid that we can't handle, so in a last attempt, we all manage to retreat back to Serole through the secret portal?? : O I actually have a portal raid planned, just not affecting HQ. It'll be more like another place linked to Serole through the portal network gets literally bugged and a horde of locust-like aliens are released into the kingdom. The kingdom's new armor sphere goes into effect, the portals are shut down to prevent any more from coming in or leaving, and it plays out like any survival horror plot (think of our Halloween plot, but in a less modern and more magical setting). But it's more than likely going to happen when there's nothing else going on, because it WILL take a while. Alternatively, it could be made into an RP of its own. Although an HQ-centered raid with Serole Imperial Guard backup is fine too. I don't think the castle folks would appreciate it though. just wanna point out, you may want to take some things into consideration if it has to do with a Portal Network. =w= I know, Serole has a very tight security link on it... but still, just remember Pen's old "alt reality" arc? meheheheheh.

I liked him from the first book on up until the end of Half-Blood Prince... and then hated him. and then I loved him again during Deathly Hallows (though I hated Deathly Hallows for being a hastily written wrap-up). he's a man of Honour and Integrity, who made some mistakes as a young adult because of how he was pushed around by his peers. yet he never stopped loving Lily, even after she betrayed him for that a*****e, james potter. Severus joined the death eaters, but he also saw the error of his ways early on, and rushed to the protection of Lilly and her son -- even though he was also the son of his greatest enemy! furthermore, he risked his life for nearly 20 years in service to Albus Dumbledore to set things right out of loyalty to Albus and to Lily. and all he asked in return was his privacy. he refused to back down from his promises no matter how complicated and precarious they became! and he SUCCEEDED! eek if that isn't worthy of respect, I don't know WHAT is!! as for Slughorn... yeh, Horace is definitely a coward and a cad... but in a good way. and he has a sense of dignity and purpose. he understands the concept of civic duty, and will do what he feels he is required -- even of no more than the absolute minimum. Draco was just a kid who was under alot of pressure. pressure from his family, his family's obligations, and all under the threat of his own life being taken away! his father was ruined, his family goes through hell, and he now is in a position where he has to make the hardest decisions for the good of his family and himself. it wasn't fair to him at all. Sirius Black grew up some, not much... I'll give you that. but he was loyal to his friends, and their family. james potter was essentially the family he didn't have back home. I hate how he mistreated Kreecher, but he DID explain to Harry the importance of recognizing that not everything is good and evil.

I love her storytelling abilities. They are amazing!! As for Snape, the dude was an obsessed stalker who despite his obsession with Lily carried just as much hate for James. The dude was loyal to Dumbledore only cause he was still obsessed with Lily. He didn't really care for anything other than making right with Lily. That is it.Black well, he was obsessed with James or the idea of James living on in Harry. Poor boy had two mentally disturbed men (both obsessed with his parents). In truth Dumbledore manipulated both their obsessions to his own ends.
