Re: Pets
Hi Kat! Welcome to HOL As it says in this Handy thread Q: How do I get pets and what do I do once I have them?

Re: White Noise
For years, I've gone to sleep to the sound of distant thunderstorms. My mum has an ancient white noise machine with a range of watery sounds that I've pretty much stolen as it now lives in my room. The storms setting is the only one I really find restful: the ocean is too intrusive, the babbling str...

Re: So, What Are You Taking?
The excitement is palpable but in case you'd not noticed, it's the spring term and classes are open! Yay! So, time to ask this question again: what's everyone taking?

Dealing with Dragons - Chapters 1 to 4
9 times out of 10, talking is a way of avoiding doing things Here we’ll be discussing chapters 1 to 4 of Dealing with Dragons.

Dealing with Dragons - Chapters 5 to 8
Whoever heard of a princess who could spin straw into linen thread? Here we’ll be picking over chapters 5 through 8 of Dealing with Dragons.

Re: Monthly Book Discussions
Due to a highly confusing and convoluted series of events involving a frog, a pot of colour-change ink, an iron skillet and a stack of pocket handkerchiefs that I’m struggling to fully comprehend (let alone explain), the announcement for our next monthly book is slightly late. But I’m delighted to s...

Mask, Flower, Question
Something caught his eye and he crossed over to the dressing table. Beside a single orange flower lay a masquerade mask, neatly cut from plain brown paper. He fingered the stem of the flower. Was this a threat? A question? A warning? (42 words)

Re: HP Themed Parties
I think I speak for everyone ever when I say… NY at Arianna's place! Those games sound sensational and really fun. We once had a HP themed Girl Guide camp where we were sorted into houses based on what tents we were (even there when it was totally random, I still ended up as a lion) and each house w...
