Pygmy Puffs Everywhere!

Um, I don't know how to say this..... Either Gus or Ernie (I'm not sure which one) is a female Pygmy Puff. How do I know this? Well, because of the dozens of baby Pygmy Puffs I found under my bed!!! Oh No! I don't know what to do with them all! If anybody wants a pet, please take one! (and make sure you keep them away from the others or we'll have even more little fluff balls to deal with!)

Handing in My Homework

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts. Hoggy

warty Hogwarts. Teach us

something please. Whether

we be old and bald or young

with scabby knees. Our heads

could do with filling with

some interesting stuff. For

now they're bare and full

of air. Dead flies and bits

of fluff. So teach us things

worth knowing. Bring back

what we've forgot. Just do

your best, we'll do the rest,

and learn until our brains

all rot."

Pygmy Puffs

I found a few lost Pygmy Puffs under my bed this morning..... I guess they must've still been here from when Fred and George Weasley went to Hogwarts! They are soooo cute. I named the pink one Gus and the purple one Ernie. They don't do much, but they're so soft and cute. I'm keeping them as my pets. Does anybody know what Pygmy Puffs eat?

Want to make your own Pygmy Puffs? There's a few free patterns on Ravelry (to knit and crochet!)

I'm going to make a few myself to keep Gus and Ernie company!

Blushing Yellow

Okay, okay, I admit it. I fell for the Canary Creams Prank. I'm a little embarassed because I should've known better than to take candy from a seventh year (they don't usually go out of their way to be nice to first years) I couldn't help it, I love candy, and well, it was just such a lovely shade of yellow. So I ate it, and yes, it's true, I turned into a giant chirping canary!

It didn't hurt or anything, and it only lasted for a few minutes before I molted and turned back into myself. I was a little embarassed though.... and I've had this overwhelming craving for sunflower seeds ever since!

Wow! Mini-Hogwarts

Look what I found! A muggle artist has created a mini-Hogwarts castle!
This is the coolest thing ever! It looks just like our school, you have to check it out!!!

Swap Partner

My owl arrived with my Swap Partner info the other day.

All I'm going to say about it is that she is in Ravenclaw and I've started making her bag. That's all I can say because I've made my initial contact with her and I'm sure she's going to be checking my blog to see if she can sneak any hints about her kit!
