AWWWW wish we had heart-shaped lollies, those sound so cute akghskga yay for bouquet!! <33

you have to pay even if you dont go?? what the hell?? most of ours are mandatory, specifically the subject-specific ones, but some (like the skii trip) are optional and open to everyone. if you cant go you dont have to pay i dont think? idk what happens if you dont go actually

ayyyy free ticket! i feel you though, theres nothing to really? see? i feel like there used to be a big movie to see every year but now almost everything in the cinema feels really dull. last time i went was to see across the spiderverse (THAT MOVIE IS INCREDIBLEEE) and super mario bros cause there was a cheap deal and a friend invited me along. we usually just buy snacks from tesco and sneak them in cause its cheap LMAO (why is theater food so expensive?? im not paying 5 quid for a bag of popcorn)

ohh man, im sorry to hear that. it sucks when everyone feels like theyre drifting away :[[ i have a pretty close circle but even that feels smaller and weaker lately - people are going with their SOs or just finding other people. its difficult :/

yesss, true: theyre simultaneously harder and easier to maintain i feel. im in a server of online friends that used to be really lively but now its honestly kinda dead: we still talk sometimes but it was so much more active a few years ago :[

!!! <33333

AAAAA thats such a good idea!! i should start taking pictures too! ive been really wanting to make friends with crows for ages now? theyre very intelligent and remember your face and sometimes bring you things, id adore having a little crow friend. shame is theres not very many on my street or garden :[ theres a little robin that comes to our garden often though! maybe if i see the guy i can get a photo

aaaaahhh, i see i see. for us you pick your destination anywhere and it prices based on that? theres different train companies but its roughly all the same really. london is split into zones, and you buy a travelcard based on which zone youre going into and that also accounts for the tube line. its pretty expensive too but i looveee the underground and trains so i love taking them (when i have the money....)

SAMEE!! a large portion of my closet comes from charity shops: i just have better luck finding stuff i like there? also, sustainable!! i got a really cheap little kalimba from a charity store recently :]] you can find so many silly little trinkets its great! i have experience w crochet and basic sewing but ive never made clothing before, that sounds really cool!! ive considered it

MOTION SICKNESS GANG i feel you, i cant sit backwards on trains or i feel sick and i cant read in cars either akgbsng. also god yeah theyre LOUUDD. if you ever visit london prepare yourself for the victoria tube line (its light blue on the map). you cant carry a conversation with the person next to you cause the entire tube is screeching at you

BIG HOMODJFZ godddd, england has some of the worst place names too. theres a set of roads called 'upper dicker' and 'lower dicker'. if you look on google maps at england for 2 minutes youll find at least one town with a stupid ass name. wooden overcoats made up an island called 'piffling' home to 'piffling vale' and if that isnt the most accurately british-

im gonna have to look up big homo on google maps later- i gotta see how small this thing is. as a brit i am accustomed to tiny shitty ass beaches. i actually dont know much about belgium to be honest (my only....association with it is that poirot is belgian....thats it really) so i might have a little nosey around to see what its like <33 i love faffing about on google maps its my favourite wasting time activity DJBGSG

hiya <3

how are ya? i like the new theme :)

i cant really think of another question to ask rn, so just tell me about anything you want? (or not if you dont feel like it ofc)

HP reread! The Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 14: Snape's Grudge

"Professor Flitwick could be seen teaching the front doors to recognise a large picture of Sirius Black." Likewisee: "A bunch of security trolls had been hired to guard (the Fat Lady). They paced the corridor in a menacing group, talking in grunts and comparing the size of their clubs." Why is this stuff never featured in fanfic? Sometimes I feel like HP fanfic is HP minus the humor.

Ron and Harry forgot about Buckbeak's approaching trial because they were too distracted by the arrival of the Firebolt, and now are deeply ashamed. The book features a couple of instances of the kids doing stupid shit although they know it's dangerous, such as getting Harry to Hogwarts, or throwing mud at Draco, or Hermione working herself ragged by taking more classes than she literally has time for. It's kids being kids. Now, this is the same chapter where we learn some backstory about the Marauders. We see the map insulting Snape. We get Remus telling Harry the makers of the map would have wanted to lure him out of the castle; they would have found it entertaining. Most importantly we get Snape telling Harry his perspective on James, and it's not flattering: James didn't heroically save his life, Snape says, but rather try to save his own skin. No matter how forgivable or unforgivable you find the Werewolf incident, all of it is still kids doing stupid shit.   

Harry and Ron are in a fight with Hermione, as her cat supposedly ate Scabbers. As I've said before, the invisible story of Snape and the Marauders is reflected in the visible parts of the story. Hilariously, both the trio and the Marauders are fighting because they blame each other for Peter Pettigrew’s fake death.  

Harry throws mud and "green sludge" at Draco at the Shrieking Shack, which is much better than the white snow in the movie version. When he and Ron encountered Draco, Draco was engrossed in a conversation of two out of his three favorite topics: his dad and how Hagrid is an oaf. Harry is so protective of Hagrid that Draco's opinion about Hagrid even was the reason why he initially disliked him. Now he's seen Draco spending half a year bullying Hagrid in class. So it's a worthy trigger for his first time "fighting back," in an age-appropriate way, against the bullies. (Draco’s third favorite topic, of course, is Harry!)

Crabbe and Goyle have "bulding muscles." I want details on their training methods. ^^ Gimme fic about Crabbe and Goyle getting up at six in the morning for a running routine, and drinking protein shake parody potions. Possibly made by Snape’s best student - Draco. :D

Harry's head is spotted in Hogsmeade, Snape confronts Harry, and you immediately get a sense that this is different from previous times he did that. CoS had a very similar scene of Snape waiting for Harry and leading him into his office. At the time I talked about how much of an emphasis there was on Snape's performance in that scene, being "smooth" and speaking "silkily," enjoying the act itself. This time, such adverbs are largely absent, never mind the usual dialogue humor is still present; the description is much more factual, not offering Snape’s behavior up to us as comedy, but encouraging us to view it more soberly. Snape even starts out with an argument that's more reason than emotion, although it’s still hardly objective: "Everyone from the Minister for Magic downwards has been trying to keep famous Harry Potter safe from Sirius Black. But famous Harry Potter is a law unto himself! Let the ordinary people worry about his safety! Famous Harry Potter goes where he wants to, with no thought for the consequences." 

I feel like the scene is key in the series' development toward a more mature and differentiated narrative that asks more of its audience. Black and white are about to be replaced by something much more complex and difficult, a world where nobody is just a hero or a villain, Snape and Lupin are in agreement about Harry’s safety, things stop being easy to understand. It's not just Harry being forced to look at his dad from Snape's POV, but also the reader. Some people get overwhelmed by that. Arguably, the end result tends to be people demonizing either Snape or James. 

As for Snape's "conversation" with the Marauder's Map: I've always taken note of how suave and proper the boys made the map version of themselves sound. As part of the joke, of course. "Mr Moony presents his compliments (...) and begs (Professor Snape) to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business." Notice how they keep using the professor title all the while calling Snape an idiot. That is a side of them I always feel is underrepresented in fic. From personal experience (on the Dark Side, admittedly), I know that this kind of ... uh, performance of your own superiority tends to piss a lot of people off. Needless to say that Snape in particular, with his background, wouldn't be a fan, and be unable to see how it's all just a harmless version of, "I like hearing myself talk." People like that just get delighted when you talk back at them in the same tone. (what would you bet that that's what the Weasley twins did, and how they obtained the map’s password?) So there’s this clash in attitude between the Marauders and Snape even without taking into account all the other reasons to dislike each other. It’s just not meant to be.
