Hehe... I guess I'm the first one to post here xd

As for the story I have to share... it's a chat on facebook that I had with my Ukrainian school teacher. I thought it was appropriate to post, mainly because it gets interesting after all of the greetings and formalities...

BEHOLD

[20:29] Victor Mishalow: ****Roman Shitkevych
[20:30] Hanucia Kolkolkolacz: XD


THE END


*This is our short form for "Ukrainian school" which we use for anything related to Ukraine

**Ukrainian Insurgent Army = translated into "Ukrains'ka Povstans'ka Armiya", therefore - UPA

***The man's real name was Stepan Bandera, the joke was that the bandura is Ukraine's national instrument, and that my teacher is a well-renouned bandurist

****This man's real name was Roman Shukhevych, and you can probably guess where the joke is in this...

hahaha! very nice XD Alright, here's mine, it's really sad, I found it online, a friend sent it to me, but I really like it. I'm a Christian and so is she, so that's how she sent it to me. Anyways, I thought it was really sad and it relates to me in a ways...


A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many
months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and
knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he
wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs
that his father had purchased the car.

Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his
father called him into his private study. His father told him
how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told
him how much he loved him. He handed his son a
beautiful wrapped gift box.

Curious, but somewhat Disappointed, the young man
opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible,
with the young man's name embossed in gold.
Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With
all your money you give me a Bibl e? and stormed out of
the house, leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very
successful in business. He had a beautiful home and
wonderful family, but realized his father was very old,
and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not
seen him since that graduation day. Before he could
make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him
his father had passed away, and willed all of his
possessions to his son. He needed to come home
immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness
and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his
father's important papers and saw the still new Bible,
just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened
the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father
had carefully underlined a verse;

Matt 7:11, "And if ye, being evil know how to give good
gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly
father which is in heaven, give to those who ask Him?"

As he read those words, a car key dropped from the
back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name,
the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired.
On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they
are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed
this. Pass it on to others. Do not spoil what you
have by desiring what you have not; but remember that
what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

Not a lot of people posting here.

But my dance class finally figured out a song we're going to dance too. We're going to be using the opening for this song (although I'd really like to do the whole thing) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji0xDg6EVvI

and then using the rest of this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR8logunPzQ

It'll be very Charlie Chaplin esque, with bowler caps and jackets. We've already started to choreograph a bit today and it's looking great. Super excited for the show~

Okay so here is a made up story about a duel i once had that took place at Hogsmeade, with an evil man that was later sent to Azkaban due to his actions.

I was walking around in Hogsmeade just shopping like a regular wizard does and when i decided to enter The Magic Neep - a greengrocer's. After i had finished my shopping and was heading for a door their was a loud feminine scream. I dropped my bags and pulled my wand out. There was a large, muscular man yelling at a lady telling her to give all her money to him, his wand right in her face. All the other shoppers had already fleed though some were hiding behind the aisles and others were on the floor hands on their head.

"Crucio", the man yelled and the poor lady screamed in Agony.
"GIVE ME YOUR MONEY LADY! OR ELSE..", he yelled at her.
"Okay..Okay..," the lady replied in sobs.
She gave him her purse and he looked around seeing if anyone saw and then he spotted me staring at him. As soon as our eyes met the man yelled,
"Impedimenta" i jumped to my left i had missed the spell by inches. I got up and yelled "Incarcerous"!
"PROTEGO"!, the man screeched and my spell evaporated because of the shield charm. He hid behind the counter and ducked waiting for my next move. I did the same. Rapidly he got up and so did i, i then yelled, "Expelliarmus". The man's wand flew in the air and rolled on the floor under a aisle out of sight. The large, stupid man was so furious he came running at me.
"Stupefy", i cried. He flew backwards hit the brick wall and landed on his back side. Unconscious.

Their were cheers all around and i dashed to the lady that had been hit by the Cruciatus Curse. Immediately i grabbed her belongings and apparated inside Saint. Mungo's, a Nurse saw us and i explained what happened she took her in. I waited outside expecting to hear horrible results. The nurse said the lady will be okay. From Saint. Mungos i contacted the Ministry and explained what happened. A few ministry officials arrived minutes later to my surprise. I explained what happened again and they apparated to the Super Market.

The next day at home i was reading the Daily Prophet and there on the front page was a article and a large image of the Man. He had been sent to Azkaban, life imprisonment for the use of the Cruciatus Curse on a innocent person.

I'm going to deviant from my normal golden color and go with blue to make this easier to read. Anyway''s I think most of you know that J.K. Rowling wrote a 800 Harry Potter Prequel, dealing with James and Sirius as teenagers. The Prequel was auctioned off and the proceeds went to a charity that J.K. participates in. The 800 word story floated around the internet for a while, and I think Mugglenet might have even had it on their site at one time, however I could not find the story there anymore. So what I'm about to post MAY or MAY NOT be the actual HP Prequel that Rowling wrote.


Quote:
The Harry Potter Prequel, by JK Rowling

The speeding motorcycle took the sharp corner so fast in the darkness that both policemen in the pursuing car shouted ‘whoa!’ Sergeant Fisher slammed his large foot on the brake, thinking that the boy who was riding pillion was sure to be flung under his wheels; however, the motorbike made the turn without unseating either of its riders, and with a wink of its red tail light, vanished up the narrow side street.

‘We’ve got ‘em now!” cried PC Anderson excitedly. ‘That’s a dead end!”

Leaning hard on the steering wheel and crashing his gears, Fisher scraped half the paint off the flank of the car as he forced it up the alleyway in pursuit.

There in the headlights sat their quarry, stationary at last after a quarter of an hour’s chase. The two riders were trapped between a towering brick wall and the police car, which was now crashing towards them like some growling, luminous-eyed predator.

There was so little space between the car doors and the walls of the alley that Fisher and Anderson had difficulty extricating themselves from the vehicle. It injured their dignity to have to inch, crab-like, towards the miscreants. Fisher dragged his generous belly along the wall, tearing buttons off his shirt as he went, and finally snapping off the wing mirror with his backside.

‘Get off the bike!’ he bellowed at the smirking youths, who sat basking in the flashing blue light as though enjoying it.

They did as they were told. Finally pulling free from the broken wind mirror, Fisher glared at them. They seemed to be in their late teens. The one who had been driving had long black hair; his insolent good looks reminded Fisher unpleasantly of his daughter’s guitar-playing, layabout boyfriend. The second boy also had black hair, though his was short and stuck up in all directions; he wore glasses and a broad grin. Both were dressed in T-shirts emblazoned with a large golden bird; the emblem, no doubt, of some deafening, tuneless rock band.

‘No helmets!’ Fisher yelled, pointing from one uncovered head to the other. ‘Exceeding the speed limit by – by a considerable amount!’ (In fact, the speed registered had been greater than Fisher was prepared to accept that any motorcycle could travel.) ‘Failing to stop for the police!’

‘We’d have loved to stop for a chat,’ said the boy in glasses, ‘only we were trying -’

‘Don’t get smart – you two are in a heap of trouble!’ snarled Anderson. ‘Names!’

‘Names?’ repeated the long-haired driver. ‘Er – well, let’s see. There’s Wilberforce… Bathsheba… Elvendork…’

‘And what’s nice about that one is, you can use it for a boy or a girl,’ said the boy in glasses.

‘Oh, OUR names, did you mean?’ asked the first, as Anderson spluttered with rage. ‘You should’ve said! This here is James Potter, and I’m Sirius Black!’

‘Things’ll be seriously black for you in a minute, you cheeky little -’

But neither James nor Sirius was paying attention. They were suddenly as alert as gundogs, staring past Fisher and Anderson, over the roof of the police car, at the dark mouth of the alley. Then, with identical fluid movements, they reached into their back pockets.

For the space of a heartbeat both policemen imagined guns gleaming at them, but a second later they saw that the motorcyclists had drawn nothing more than -

‘Drumsticks?’ jeered Anderson. ‘Right pair of jokers, aren’t you? Right, we’re arresting you on a charge of -’

But Anderson never got to name the charge. James and Sirius had shouted something incomprehensible, and the beams from the headlights had moved.

The policemen wheeled around, then staggered backwards. Three men were flying – actually FLYING – up the alley on broomsticks – and at the same moment, the police car was rearing up on its back wheels.

Fisher’s knees bucked; he sat down hard; Anderson tripped over Fisher’s legs and fell on top of him, as FLUMP – BANG – CRUNCH – they heard the men on brooms slam into the upended car and fall, apparently insensible, to the ground, while broken bits of broomstick clattered down around them.

The motorbike had roared into life again. His mouth hanging open, Fisher mustered the strength to look back at the two teenagers.

‘Thanks very much!’ called Sirius over the throb of the engine. ‘We owe you one!’

‘Yeah, nice meeting you!’ said James. ‘And don’t forget: Elvendork! It’s unisex!’

There was an earth-shattering crash, and Fisher and Anderson threw their arms around each other in fright; their car had just fallen back to the ground. Now it was the motorcycle’s turn to rear. Before the policemen’s disbelieving eyes, it took off into the air: James and Sirius zoomed away into the night sky, their tail light twinkling behind them like a vanishing ruby.

HI!! um alright so i have this story going on for fanfic and it's titled Dimeriah Black. and its an odd sort of plot line because i really like Snape as a father figure so the idea for my story is that Dimeriah who is the unknown child of Sirius Black goes to Hogwarts to find herself through her father. however with the war going on her and a couple of friends make a plan to save people targeted by Voldemort. ANYWAY. she has to join the death eaters to do so. and it's a bit of a whirlwind because it's supposed to be dark and i can't figure out how to write dark so any suggestions would be wonderful. anyway here's a snippet from one of the soon to be newer chapters (i haven't even gotten to the part where she becomes a death eater yet in the fanfic XD).
**

“You failed me.” The Dark Lord said softly, and as he did Dimeirah felt a shiver run up and down her spine. Nothing was more intense, or more frightening then when the Dark Lord was speaking calmly. It was the anticipation; the wait for the loud band, the pain, the roar of frustration, or even the tiniest movement from their wand hand. The way his eyes would glint at you as he spoke, immobile, mocking. That was where the torture came from-the fear came from. Not the Cruciatus. Dimeirah steadied her fiercely beating heart and opened her mouth to speak, however she hardly got a syllable out before her muscles seized up and every nerve in her body was set on fire. It hurt so much she hadn’t realized it had stopped.

“He’s useful, to us.” She said between pants.

“Silence!” he roared, “Crucio!”

A thousand needles of pain darted in and out of her muscles and suddenly her stomach became nauseous. In the back of her mind she heard someone screaming, as white dots danced in front of her eyes when he stopped. Something warm and sticky dripped down her nose

“When I say kill a man, you kill him.” The last two words were bitten out harshly. But Dimeirah swallowed, closed her eyes, and prayed that she’d be able to apparate back tonight.

“No.” The one word hardly uttered in his presence seemed like she had shouted it. Dimeirah looked up at Voldemort and it scared her that she couldn’t read his face. “Not when it jeopardizes everything that you strive to achieve.” There was a roar of frustration and before she even had time to blink he was upon her; lifting her high into the air by her neck, his nails digging in to the delicate flesh until her feet dangled helplessly above the ground. She held her breath, but it was hard to keep calm but she would force herself to think of the only memory of her father to keep her going.

His voice was so soft she barely heard it. “You Gryffindors…should stay home.” Then he dropped her, as if she wasn’t worth his strength to toss her. Dimeirah looked up from her spot on the ground and white-hot anger scratched at her chest.

“And you Slytherins have your heads so far up your arse you barely see past your ego inflated nose.” Dimeirah had the gull to stand up and spit the blood that had found it’s way into her mouth in front of her, where Voldemort was standing moments before. “So Bite me.”

There was strangled cry from behind her and Bellatrix launched herself towards Dimeirah who mentally put up a (supped up prtego) and stupefied her. “Rage blinds you Auntie.” She smirked. Someone would take it off of her soon she was sure. Dimeirah wondered briefly why Voldemort hadn’t cursed her-or killed her for that matter. She never listened to him and she was constantly rude. She took a step towards him (ignoring the shot of pain that traveled up it). “Killing Smithers would have banished the treaty with the Vampires. The only reason they’re on our side is because of him.”

“He betrayed the Dark Lord’s Location Black-I have no doubt the Order has sucked him in.” Snape snarled, Dimeirah ignored the fact that it was him who spoke.

“So be it!” Dimeirah said with renewed fervor a new idea forming, “Let him flounder, My Lord, keep him out of the loop-give him faulty information. I’m sure that the Vampires have lived long enough to think of creative deaths.” Dimeirah said as if that would solve everything. “Think about it!"

Class Notes

Began session October 3. It's a fairly easy class. There are extremely few assignments. I like the way Professor harrypotterfreako has a class agenda and different curriculum for different year students. The professor compares her method to Remus Lupin's. Much like Dumbledore's Army, students are given a spell to practice against each other or on a suit of armor and left to practice until everyone has it down.

Lesson 2

Lesson 3

Lesson 4

How I got my black belt.
End of ceremony.


A tall, fit nine year old was standing backstage next to his sister. "I can't believe it's finally time," he thought, "we're getting our black belts!" The four years of learning, and six months of intense training, had finally paid off.
He gulped, as it was almost his turn. What they had to do was simply run across a stage, do a flying sidekick, and break a board in mid-jump. He became even more nervous as he watched one of the girls in front of him completely miss!
It was time for his sister to go now, so he looked on to the stage, to see her hit spot on. "So if Athena can do it, I can too." He felt a little less pressured now, so he ran on the stage, jumped, and smashed through the board with his foot. "Yes!" he thought.
But his moment of triumph was quickly replaced by a sharp pain in his ankle, which he had landed on after the jump. He sat there for a while, holding his ankle until the pain subsided. He thought, "Thank goodness that wasn't serious!"
Now the ceremony was almost over. He was called onto the stage to get his black belt. The only problem was that he really had to go to the bathroom! As a result, he was very fidgety while his belt was being tied on. "I can tell he has to go to the bathroom," the instructor told the crowd. "Thanks a lot, Kravitz," the nine year old thought angrily. "Go to the bathroom." the instructor told him.
After returning from the bathroom, everyone was on the stage, and the crowd was cheering for them. Finally, after all that, Anders was a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
