Hogwarts Analogies Make Bad Days Better

I need a break from "facts" to complain. I don't like to complain, but you know what, it feels good to do it. To start off, I feel like absolute crap. My stomach hasn't made this much movement since that time Hacienda took an hour to serve me and the wafts of deliciousness from the kitchen tempted my tummy to become a gurgling monster. To add to this, I have a paper due tomorrow, and it's for a history class. Ironically I tend to get worse grades in my history classes because I'm good at history and unfortunately I know it. If I can do minimal work and still get a B+, then yes that's usually the avenue I will take. But anyway, because of this laziness I need to write a good paper, but also, because of this laziness, I have yet to start said paper. Now thirdly. I am a member of my colleges Resident Hall Association, actually I am the Vice President. I really enjoy it, I like to work hard and see people enjoy and appreciate the fruits of my labor. However, recently things have become such a mess. One member, let's call him Draco (yes I'm doing this in Harry Potter terms), seems to be rebelling? That may not be the word for it, but as I'm not entirely sure of what's going on I don't really have a better word for it. Anyway, things happened, my temper got the best of me and I made some not so kind remarks to Draco expressing my displeasure at his previous actions, or non-actions perhaps. I kept enough dignity to not raise my voice, but I am still ashamed. Not apologetic-ashamed, no no he was definitely in the wrong, but ashamed that I acted a bit like a middle school girl. It's not something I do often, which I've always prided myself on, but even worse, this time I didn't even do a good job of it... So more things happened and now Draco is in procession of knowledge that he shouldn't have. How he got it is a mystery that I think I can solve, but I'd really rather not because it implicates someone I'd rather not ever have to implicate. Then this evening I got more unsettling news first from Mr. Weasley, and then from Ron, (btw sorry for snapping at you Ron!) who I snapped at. Unfortunately it seems that my descending to middle school level has served as a signal to Draco that he may further delve into the depths of middle schoolishness armed with incomplete and incorrect knowledge. Now I don't know will happen, and I really don't like that. There's every possibility that Draco could get the rest of Hogwarts to follow him because they don't know the facts. And if they do, well I don't know what I'll do. My last hope is, well, Draco does turn good in the end of the books... right?


Update: Harry Potter is innocent, Draco remains to be seen...

It's always appreciated when a Muggle makes analogies in their lives to Hogwarts!

About Me

My photo
I love pretty pictures and fashion, decorating and paper. I use Harry Potter pseudonyms for all of my friends because as of now they are skeptical of the blogging world. I expect when we grow and up and move away and have babies we will all have blogs because that seems to be the thing to do. And when that day comes I will laugh and gleefully answer all their questions about blogger, thankful that they can finally share in the obsession with me! And secretly, I will be very proud that my archives stretch back much farther then theirs. Pennies From Heaven is where I write everything. I put my favorite photographs there, my favorite fashions, thoughts, stories, and humorous conversations between Hermione and I.
