Home Work Assignment #1

2010-04-01T19:21:00.000-07:00

#1 Molly Weasley
I like her aclectic flare. Her best qualities are true caring and honesty. Her strength in family and of course the very cool jumpers she wears!!!! This sounds very wierd but the house they created for her and the family I feel is very charming (No pun intended).
#2 Luna Lovegood.
I think her best quality is her self confidence and independence. I also love her style and quirkyness. Of course her vast knowledge of all that is wierd.
#3 Professor Snape.
I know with the first two this choice seems odd. But I think that in his character he is very quiet and secretly very loyal to Dumbledore. He was very good at potions and think that is very cool! Besides the fact that he is easy on the eyes (hee hee).

I love most everything about the book and all the characters. They are all very creative and fun!

Boy this has been a -snowy- week! I have been so busy and haven’t had much time to post! So, I thought I’d do a quickie to tell you about my plans for the weekend! Saturday, I am planning to - work-and -knit- with- a new puppy in the house-. If I have time, I might also -read- since I haven’t in a long time. Sunday will be spent -time planning my package - and maybe -napping- if I’m lucky!

Wheres Winnie

2009-10-30T20:38:00.000-07:00

Well to my best guess would be that she is some where in Norfolk. That is where Cyprian Youdle was from. As for the town with no shops or any thing who would blame her for not wanting to stay very long. Really no shops to shop in I would have to be on my way! But back to the question I have no idea what the town isw called :(

Where's Winnie

2009-10-21T22:29:00.000-07:00

Well I have spent lots of time looking and I think that the first leg is in New Zealand at the Lanarch Castle and then she is flying off to Canada. I cant decide if she is in Onterio or Quebec. There seems to be lots of great Maple Syrup farms.
I hope she tests them all!!!!!

My Hogsmeade Vist.

Before we get into my historical part of my trip I would like to tell a little prelude to my home work. To prepare for the visit I first went to Honeydukes Sweetshop. I will need lots of candy for courage and of course just because hee hee. Then I will have to pop over to The Three Broom Sticks for a drink (or two) of some butter beer. Ok now I am ready for my Historical Visit.

~ The Shrieking Shack ~

Of course to make it a real visit I had to try to get in. But as all of us know that the only way in is through the secret passage at the bottom of the Womping Willow. There were several terrible noises coming from the shack and the gate would not let me pass. I believe that not only did the Shrieking Shack serve a great purpose when it was built for Professor Remus Lupin to transform into a werewolf away from Hogwarts but it also allowed several truths to be known. In the shack is where Harry found out the Sirius black was not the one who betrayed his parents that it was Peter Petigrew. Ron also found out that Scabers his pet rat was none other than Peter Pettigrew in his animagus form.

I am thinking that perhaps my next visit might contain more shopping but seems this was for home work this will have to do.
