Megaera Rocks!!!

I received a bonus owl delivery from my swap pal, Megaera Black yesterday!
Check out the super cool little charm se sent me! I think this might end up finding a home on my keychain. I just can't get over how cool it is.


She also sent me this awesome HP golden snitch cloth. I'm not sure what yarn she used but it's soooooooooo nice. I've been using it and it's the nicest cloth I own! I want to make more like this, so hopefully Megaera will tell me what she used. (hint, hint!)


Thank you Megaera! You're the BEST!!!

Oh wait, I actually did win!

Well, it seems that I did win the last Hat Duel round after all! After much confusion, my owl finally reached its destination. WooHoo! I'm in the finals!

Oops, never mind.

Oops. It seems I misunderstood the gossip that was going around that I had moved on to the Hat Duel finals. I ran into Cressida in the corridors and she told me she hasn't actually received her hat yet. Well, now I'm a little embarrased that I was patting myself on the back without justification. Sorry Cressida. We're still waiting on our owls I guess.

Ooooh, the suspense is killing me!

Duel Club Finals?

I've been informed that I've made it to the Hat Duel Finals! Can you believe it!? I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time. Am I really ready for this? I've been practicing my knitting spells and I sure hope it pays off. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to continue my nervous pacing as I await the announcement for the final requirements.

Wish me luck!

Gryffindor House Quiz!

"I am not weak," said Harry in a low voice, fury now pumping through him so that he thought he might attack Snape in a moment. "Then prove it! Master yourself!" spat Snape.


That was a tough one!

Well Received

My swap pal, Stuart, received the package I sent him. He seems to like everything, which I'm very happy about. I had so much fun putting his sock kit together. I'm really loving this year at Hogwarts!
