The Latest Controversy

Well.... the silver doe promised a post on the latest controversy surrounding Dumbledore,; but hasn't done so... probably because she vanished ( Whether it was Lily or Snape who cast her initially is still under speculation !). So its up to Fawkes once again to come to the rescue, or this blog will become redundant like so many others.

In my opinion, Dumbledore isnt gay. Not that I have anything against it, but just that it sounds a little out of place with the story. When I read the book, it came across to me as that Dumbledore, being brilliant, needed some like-minded company; especially after the tradegies that struck his family. Someone with such a brilliant mind would obviously feel trapped in those circumsatnces, since he was saddled with the responsibilty of taking care of the family. Dumbledore being Dumbledore, the thought of deserting his family for his personal goals would have been appalling; but none-the-less, he would have felt let-down after what he had seen for his future and what he was left with ultimately. So it only stands to reason that when he met Grindelwald, he must have seen it as a chance to live his dreams; if not in person,then by discussing them with his new-found, equally brilliant friend.

But I dont think this means that he "fell in love "; to put it sooo eloquently (ahem !) with Grindelwald. Just because we meet someone like-minded and become really good friends and discuss plans together doesnt mean that they're in love. The thought doesnt come across as very real or even expected. Suffice to say, the thought didnt fall into place like others stated by Mrs.Rowling. It didnt click with the facts provided in the book.

Do I hear anyone seconding the motion ??

Finally! The Trace is Gone!

Well, now that all the contributors of this blog have turned 18, we are legally adults. So in our muggle world, the trace has finally gone from all of us. Which means that we can now explore all corners of any kind of magic we want, without worrying about the consequences !!!! SO beware everyone.

Also, having given our OWLS and the NEWTS, we have now decided what we shall pursue higher studies. The silver doe is pursuing History of Magic and Ancient Runes. LostWeasley is pursuing Muggle Studies and a bit of Potions. (Best of luck to her). And I, Fawkes, am pursuing Arithmancy.

And just like Fawkes, I too have done a bit of a disappearing act these past few months, only to resurface when help is truly needed - now that LostWeasley has lost her beloved computer. Correction : Her old wand has snapped. So she'll have to wait to buy a new one from Ollivanders before she can begin to correspond with us once again using Patronuses !!!

That's all there is for now! Thought I'd share the exhilerating feeling of having no trace, with you all! I'm disapparating now!

Welcome!

So I've read Harry Potter 7. NOW what do I do with my life??

My feelings precisely.

I practically lived in the world for six years. A world that isn't really so far removed from ours, is it? They're merely separated by that thin boundary named imagination. And for me, it never really is too hard to cross it.

So anyway, being the fan that I am, I thought it was time to have my own 'tribute'...and so was born this blog. And yes, I know it's rather drab and boring right now, but hey, we've only just started. If it turns out as I dream it should, I promise no one will think twice about visiting it. So welcome!

And I daresay LostWeasley will be coming here shortly to label my post the most boring she's seen yet, so I'll let her write you her own welcome note.

So then, let the magic begin!!
