Barrels

OK since I can't be bothered typing out a long clever response at this time of night, I am going to give it to you in list form!

1. What the hell is a serf?
2. I love Ginny, Cho cries too much and is annoying.
3. Nobody hates Gred and Forge. That's just impossible and i'm offended that you even brought it up!
4. Eurovision is on tomorrow night my time, and no I will not be watching XD. I was invited to my friend's house to watch it but I did that last year and it was SO. BORING. I guess I'm not European enough to get it :(
5. I hear Viktor Krum's loins were ready to make children that would have been far taller and whose genitalia would have been considerably larger than that produced by a mouth-breathing ginger :P
6. Lee jordon would give Hermione mocha babies. This is not relevant to anything, but merely a statement of fact. I find the image of Hermione putting cornrows in her child's hair hilarious.

DONE! XD

Oh Jesus I didn't. I COULD HAVE SWORN I REPLIED and I came online every morning hoping for my daily Barrels VM :(

wait what.... how... no! I replied to that! WHAT HAPPENED

What happened to you :(

Your logic is of course unassailable. If only Dumbledore had thought to teach the wizarding population the spell of "Kittienus changeius" before his untimely demise, the story may have just ended very differently. Perhaps the movie would have depicted Neville screaming like a little girl running across the bridge away from kittens, only to throw a wayward spell which would total the bridge and send hundreds of baby kittens plummeting to their watery end, just like the unwanted kitten babies on a farm are tied into a bag and hammer-thrown into the lake.

Perhaps this is the way McGonagall ends her storyline! She decides to oversee the Battle of Hogwarts (which has now been renamed Operation Kitty in all history books) in her Animagus form, and is swept away in the great kitty purge of 1998 to be the ruler of the new-found cat kingdom created by the Hogwarts populace.

Suddenly the concept of cats is embraced in the wizarding world. Pictures are hung on the Hogwarts staircase of cats who have long-since passed, and instead of the chattering one hears, there is the calming tones of mewing and purring. Umbridge would benefit greatly from this, as her decor choices would finally come back into style. Perhaps she would be employed as the Hogwarts interior decorator in the absence of her master Voldemort.

Anyway, onto the miraculous tale of Ron and Hermione - kids she wanted, and kids she got! Two ugly ginger-haired mouth-breathers just like their father. Did you see those two in the final scene of Deathly Hallows? Those two are not destined for greatness. Her potential was squandered on children anyway; now she will never fulfil her destiny of being the most powerful witch ever born. It's a classic tale really; girl is smart and intellectual, girl meets boy, girl throws caution to the wind and marries boy right out of high school, boy holds girl back from her potential and suddenly they have twelve screaming kids in the back of a mini-van on the way to Walmart to pick out curtains for their mudhut in Terror-Town.

...well maybe it's not a classic tale. But Hermione is certainly far from the first to be led down the garden path by somebody who was not good enough to be in her vicinity :(.

ALSO I SHOULD NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A SLIGHT ON THE WEASLEY FAMILY, BUT RON IN PARTICULAR.

Your argument is potentially more ludicrous than my own! I accept your premise that Dumbledore would not leave the students to run amok around a teacherless classroom and will as such leave that alone.

However, your assertion that because the students are Dumbledore-trained Transfiguration masters, the wizarding war is automatically won as though this is all it would ever take is so absurd it borders on insulting. It is somewhat like saying "Why don't you just unleash the US military into the battle of Hogwarts? Even wizards can't deny the force of raw Texan firepower!"

Let me draw your attention to this passage from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which automatically destroys your argument. Now, if you'll turn to page 24:


One could submit, however, that the Transfiguration teacher that Dumbledore did employ in McGonagall's stead, being a different person, may not have had the backbone that McGonagall did to stand up to Snape or the Death Eaters in the final battle, or care enough about Harry to do all that she did in the lead-up. He could even have employed a disguised Death Eater - Dumbledore himself has said that even he is not infallible.

Your cupcake is on its way to England. I had to send it in five separate envelopes because one would not contain the cakey goodness. I hope it is acceptable to you to eat it in installments. Dieticians say that it is best to eat more often in smaller portions anyway as it aids in digestion. This is important if you are going to remain thin and beautiful. It will also help if we're going to get you laid again before your teen years are complete :P.

I never once said I could beat Hermione, I only said Ron. Which I maintain is true. I expect Hermione would thank me anyway; she was always able to do better than him. I don't understand why she would have settled.

Firstly,


LMFAO. Oh god I can't.

Now, *ahem*, back into the serious business. McGonagall may be a less central character to the series, but that does not at all affect her degree of awesomeness. I also dispute the idea that if you remove her from every scene in which she appears, nothing would change. Think of all those Transfiguration lessons, the children running wild while Hermione attempts to read her textbook to get some degree of value out of the class. Eventually, Dumbledore decides he must step in and teach the class himself - after all, Transfiguration was his old post.

Being the wonderful teacher and headmaster that he is, he transfigures the entire school into Transfiguration masters, however the extra time spent in the classroom and in lesson planning, exam marking and other teacherly duties means that he no longer has the time to put into such endeavours as The Order of the Phoenix and protecting Harry. Thus the entire wizarding war runs far less effective and efficiently and missteps taken by Dumbledore result in Harry dying and Voldemort ruling the land for all eternity. xD

Never underestimate the importance of Minerva McGonagall sir. I will end you. No, she will end you. Whereas I'm absolutely positive that even with Ron's magical powers, I could take him in a fight :P

ok I got the trainer maker pics in my decolonized album. please take a look when you can.

I don't need to defend McGonagall, sir. She is more than capable of defending herself. Ron, on the other hand, would barely know the arse-end of a wand.

His only skill is wizard's chess. It was very convenient that it came in handy that one time, but honestly how often would you find a practical application for that?

Also, I want a cupcake. Fetch me one.

LMFAO. "You do". omg dying.

Though if I forgot Ron it was because he was an ultimately useless and forgettable character, not because of my dementia.

I'm glad to hear that! Even if it is a somewhat Tuesdays with Morrie type friendship, what with me sitting here in my bathchair while you talk to me about the boy-wizard who was around during my childhood, so many years ago...

Lackadaisically? Now you're just showing off :P.

AS BEAUTIFUL AS THAT MAP IS, I DON'T LIKE YOU HAVING OTHER FRIENDS. I MUST BE THE ONLY FRIEND YOU EVER MAKE HERE EVER.

Is that all you have to say for yourself? Usually you are one with the words!

Or is this part of you no longer having time for the likes of me? :P

You are mean and British :(

I'm not stalking you, I'm just being an interested friend! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

The first few games were amazing (books 1, 2, 3 and to a lesser extent, 4) because they were more freeform and you got to go around exploring the castle. Then after that they became too story-driven and you had no freedom anymore :(

AAAAAAAAAAA Oh man I hated that game. Maybe that's why I remembered the line, because I hated that game so much yet I had to make myself play til I'd finished it :P

I AM DROPPING ALL OTHER LINES OF COMMUNICATION FOR THIS OUTRAGE.

You freaked me out when you said "No it wasn't" so I Googled your line. It was Goyle that said it and it was about Susan Bones' aunt, who I now know was named Amelia!

Good day sir!

Holy crap I actually caught you online.

I did not destroy any words! It is a perfectly valid writing technique to write words how they sound when said in order to create a sense of colloquial familiarity! I refer you to every line ever written in Hagrid's voice in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

...Covey. Covey. I want to sit down with that man over tea and have him repeat that word until he sees sense. Covey. Also how do you know this? He never once mentioned that in his baby article. Did you go researching his choice in baby name? Did this interest you enough to go looking? I'm a little shattered. You are going to have children and love them and make them your world, aren't you?

As for that line - AHA. I do know! Well that's a lie. I don't know who said it (probably somebody like Malfoy......... no. Malfoy wouldn't say "reckons". Perhaps a Slytherin jackass such as Blaise Zabini) but I do remember that it was said about Susan Bones' aunt during the fifth book because she voted for Harry to be cleared of the charges he faced at trial. I know this because for some reason I've re-read the fifth book the most out of all the books (though I'm not sure why. It's not even my favourite lmao).

...........oh god what is a bathchair.
