I suppose that to a Muggle, magic seems unexplainable. To a Wizard such as myself, there's nothing at all mysterious about magic. It's simply a matter of being born to it, and then receiving the proper education and training so that one learns the most optimal incantations and gestures and potions to use in any given circumstance. While it's true ( Read more... )

If you want to know about betrayal, you needn't look any further than my family. You can't imagine what growing up in that family was like for me. If you're interested in anything other than Quidditch or idiotic pranks, or fawning over Harry bloody Potter, you might as well be a Death Eater so far as my family is concerned. God forbid that you ( Read more... )

I'm not the sort of fellow who likes to play around and have a string of frivolous, meaningless relationships with a lot of different girls. Perhaps Penelope Clearwater spoiled me for any other woman. She taught me how to open my heart and reach out to someone with true love and friendship both. I simply can't imagine having a romantic relationship ( Read more... )

What an outrageous notion, to hit someone with a fish! A simple tripping charm or my sister Ginny’s speciality, a bat-bogey hex would be far more effective means of humiliating someone than hitting them with a fish.

What is so important to you that without it, life would not be worth living? Why?

What is love?

I'm not sure. I know what it is not. To my brothers Fred and George: Love is not teasing someone mercilessly for years and years. Love is not trying to confine someone up in a pyramid. Love is not sending a package of dragon shit in the post to someone's office. To my mother: Love is not holding up one child as the "perfect" example ( Read more... )

I know exactly what would make me live happily ever after. I've always known what I wanted. I want to be Minister for Magic. I have a lot of ideas about our society and our laws. Big ideas! One day, when I am Minister, I'll be able to put those ideas into action ( Read more... )

I've been to Egypt! My Father won the annual Daily Prophet Grand Prize Galleon Draw! It was the most money any of us had ever seen! My family has always been quite poor, you see. That rather much meant that the only traveling that we ever did was to Hogwarts in Scotland and then back home, with the occasional trip to London to shop at Diagon Alley ( Read more... )

I must apologize in advance if I sound or appear uneasy, but any time I am asked about my sense of humour, or, as my siblings would have it, my lack of a sense of humour, it brings up such terrible memories of being tricked and teased by my brothers that I cannot help but to feel somewhat bitter. Fred and George were always having one over on me. ( Read more... )
