Taurus

April 22 (or was it 23rd) to… you know what? Look it up!

You are going to have a burst of confidence this week, which will lead to a Devil-may-care attitude. Enjoy this new feeling of invincibility! If you are married, why not have an affair? If not, get addicted to crack! Remember, nothing can bring you down… this week.

Lucky number: Does 4 sound alright?

Sounds like my new wand is going to kill me…
Dragon
As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.
The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.
Hawthorn
The wandmaker Gregorovitch wrote that hawthorn ‘makes a strange, contradictory wand, as full of paradoxes as the tree that gave it birth, whose leaves and blossoms heal, and yet whose cut branches smell of death.’ While I disagree with many of Gregorovitch’s conclusions, we concur about hawthorn wands, which are complex and intriguing in their natures, just like the owners who best suit them. Hawthorn wands may be particularly suited to healing magic, but they are also adept at curses, and I have generally observed that the hawthorn wand seems most at home with a conflicted nature, or with a witch or wizard passing through a period of turmoil. Hawthorn is not easy to master, however, and I would only ever consider placing a hawthorn wand in the hands of a witch or wizard of proven talent, or the consequences might be dangerous. Hawthorn wands have a notable peculiarity: their spells can, when badly handled, backfire.

Crisitunity and Tim Tams: On Harry Potter House Animal Mascots

walkingthroughthequagmire:

I had an interesting thought about the animals that represent the four houses, in relation to their danger towards humans. All actually truly suit their houses:

Gryffindor - Lion - there is no pretense about a lion. It is at the top of its food chain and owns its ecosystem. It could easily kill…

My sister and I saw the movie twice on openiong day, 7 hours apart. Then twice more that week. As of two Sundays ago we’d watched that gloarious movie 4 times in 9 days.
On a related note, I’ve been laid 0 times in the past 365 days.
So yeah, I’m a Gryffindork. And proud of it. Now if you’ll excuse me…*dims shutters and reaches for Kleenex*
