Love, Actually
After a long hiatus from the blogosphere, I return today with a doozie of a post that has been rolling around in my brain for a while but that I hadn’t really figured out a way to write it until now. This is the story of how I fell in love and fell apart. And eventually, it is the story of how I pulled myself together and figured out some important things about love and first loves in general.…

Drifter (And Why I Feel Like Garbage About It)
Drifter (And Why I Feel Like Garbage About It)
I am a drifter.
By that, I mean that I have never really stuck with anything for very long. When I was younger, I played guitar for a little while until I got bored of it and moved on to the next thing (even though I picked it up again a few years later). When I was a kid, all I wanted was to ride horses, but after witnessing someone get into an accident while riding, I lost my passion for it – I…

So according to computer scientists, the election results might have been hacked in 3 important swing states. x x
“The scientists, among them J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, told the Clinton campaign they believe there is a questionable trend of Clinton performing worse in counties that relied on electronic voting machines compared to paper ballots and optical scanners”

the internet is a strange place

HARRY POTTER AU
(long but it happened while I was marathoning the movies)
-One of the Weasley twins (George) is a squib (we’ll get to why that’s important), as is Petunia Dursley (nee Evans).
-Hogwarts allows non-magical/squib siblings into the school if their brother or sister is a witch or wizard. They can take classes like herbology and care of magical creatures, but otherwise they learn muggle subjects such as home economics, math, science, etc.
-Squibs have a club where they try to practice magic even though they know they won’t be able to do it anyway.
-Petunia always tries her hardest to cast spells but isnt successful because she wants to be like her little sister. She always has an appreciation for magic and respects her little sister despite feeling a bit jealous of Lily’s abilities. Petunia keeps trying to practice magic despite how Vernon feels about it, and again, she isn’t successful.
-After Lily dies, Harry is sent to live with the Dursley’s. Vernon is still an asshole, but Petunia loves Harry like her own son. She doesnt always show it in front of Vernon because she doesn’t want Vernon taking out that anger on her or Dudley or for Harry to experience any more abuse, but she does. Even though Vernon forces Harry to live under the stairs, every night after Vernon is asleep, Petunia sneaks downstairs and carries Harry out to the couch so he can sleep comfortably for the night. Whenever Harry has a nightmare as a child, Petunia makes sure she can be there to comfort him and that he always feels safe coming to her when he’s scared.
-Dudley still picks on Harry a lot, but he thinks of him as a brother and will stick up for him when he gets picked on or is in a fight
-Harry grows up loved and cared for both by Petunia/Dudley, as well as the Weasley’s. He’s got a huge family that all care about him deeply (except Vernon)
-Petunia seeing how much Vernon’s abuse has affected Harry and allowing him to go live with the Weasley’s just to protect him, even though she will miss him and his spirit when he’s gone. Harry (same as in the books) considers the Weasley’s to be his family but still goes to visit the Dursley’s every chance he gets.
-By the time the Battle of Hogwarts rolls around, Petunia is so concerned for Harry’s safety that she goes to the school to try and help however she can. She arrives just in time and helps out with different things around Hogwarts as the magical community fights.
-Petunia’s only successful spell comes when she blocks a killing curse meant for George because she knows he cant defend himself. She knew the loss of George would absolutely devastate Harry, and she doesn’t want him to lose a brother. She doesn’t know at this point that Fred has been killed, but she knows she has to protect the family that has helped raise Harry.
-George’s only successful spell comes with killing Yaxley, thereby saving a younger student who wanted to fight.
