I made this the best I could with out photoshop. I thought mabe this could be our icon.
I know its hard to see, but it says " Our greatest victory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

inyourwasher — Thu, 02 Jun 2005 21:48:12 GMT

You know what I just noticed? The Gryfindor common room doesn't a user icon!

inyourwasher — Wed, 01 Jun 2005 21:26:30 GMT

This is the most I could do with out photoshop. If you want to use some of these as an Icon you have to resize them.

Sorry I have been so busy lately. I have Little League, homeschooling the kids, working on my business, working on the cover school stuff, along with keeping up with housework. I would apply to the mom but I think during this busy time I can manage at least once a week. ;) Actually, hopefully more than once a week.

So how was Mum's Day yesterday?

Mine I spent in a half conscious state due to the darn pine trees, allergies, robotussin and dangerously low blood pressure, but other than that it was okay. ;p

Harry the Heir of Gryffindor?

butterflymist — Wed, 27 Apr 2005 02:35:26 GMT

I know I always find news/rumors late, but thought I would post anyway and get opinions. I found this at about.com.

Harry Gryffindor Heir?

I was pondering this for a few days but if Lord Voldemort is the heir of Slytherin. Why can`t Harry be the Heir of Gryfinndor? It makes perfect sense, Dumbledore said that only a true Gryffindor could pull the sword out of the sorting hat, he probably meant that an actual blood member of the line of Gryffindor like Voldemort is to Slytherin. Harry and Voldemort have similiar pasts, parents dead and both half breeds. Harry is the son of a muggle-born and Lord Voldemort is the son of a muggle. This is the reason Harry must kill or be killed, to finish the fight and disagreements of their families ancestors. When Slytherin left unable to persuade the others and had that arguement with Gryffindor.

Slytherin probably vowed that only one will rule with their ideas and that it will never be ruled by the other until the other families line had diminished.Harry and Voldemort must be the ones of their heritage to finish the fight, to finish the vow.

Just thought I would let my fellow Gryffindors know that for the next few weeks I may not be able to be that active. My RL has taken a busy turn, but shouldn't last long. I hope to check in and read when I can...maybe even comment here and there, but not spend as much time as I would like.

Resigning as Prefect and this community.

springbabe90 — Sun, 17 Apr 2005 21:33:45 GMT

Hey everyone my time has come to an end. I am really busy lately and haven't had that much time for livejournal in general besides being the gryffindor prefect in this community. Therefore I am sadly going to resign as your Gryffindor Prefect and this community. I hope this community has a lot more members in the near future and good lucky!
Rachel, Your resigned Gryffindor Prefect

Just something to shake things up....

House Points

butterflymist — Fri, 15 Apr 2005 02:31:14 GMT

Since I am still new, I thought I would ask....

Is there a place that we can check to see how the house points are going against other house points? Just curious.

first look at GOF

ABC has announced the network premier of "Chamber of Secrets" will be on May 7. Throughout the 3 hour airing, "this presentation will include interstitials throughout featuring an exclusive first look at film clips, cast interviews and behind-the-scenes footage from the fourth 'Harry Potter' film." Check out the official press release.

Title: Harry's Secrets

Author: butterflymist

Pairing: hints of Draco/Harry, Harry/Ginny, Harry/Hermione/Draco

Pic Source: Challenge 1 at hp_pic_fics

Rating: NC-17

Summary: Harry has been keeping secrets from his closest friends. Leave it to Lucius to let the cat of the bag.

Standard Disclaimer: I do not own these characters. These characters belong to JK Rowling.

Warnings (if any): Nothing too graphic but since it contains hints of slash and het pairing, I ask that those that aren't confortable reading such things, not to click below. Also, this has not been betaed. This was an entry to a challenge at hp_pic_fics

"So this is the boy that has turned my son into a love sick puppy?" Lucius said with curiousity.

"I am not sure what you are talking about, sir." Harry replied with a defiant tone.

Harry wasn't out of the closet with his interest in boys. Actually, he wasn't interested in boys really. Other than Draco, he enjoyed the closeness of naked girls. Perhaps it was their soft skin. Perhaps his interest in Draco fell along those lines because his skin was as soft as silk. He had never come across a boy that had skin as soft as a girl's.

"Don't be coy with me young man." Lucius began to tease, "I know about you sneaking into the manor just so that you and Draco can endulge your mysterious attraction to each other."

Ron and Ginny looked shocked as Harry still played the denial part quite well. "You must be mistaken, sir. I would not want to go anywhere near the Malfoy Manor, unless it is to see your arrest in connection with Voldemort."

"Harry, Harry, Harry." Lucius played. "I have the security tapes to prove that you and Draco are indeed lovers."

Harry wasn't sure what to say, after all when on tape there was no denying it. His face started to sting with embarassment realizing that Ginny and Ron were standing there.

"On tape!" Ron exclaimed as he turned to Harry in disbelief. "I can't believe you are sleeping with the enemy!"

"Oh I assure you, young Weasley, they are far from enemies." Lucius adding fuel to the fire as he saw how much this news irritated Ron. "In fact, I have never seen such passion between two people before. Why just two nights ago, Potter snuck on to the estate and they spent hours taking turns sucking each other that even I was jealous."

At that moment, Ginny bursted into tears and ran out of the store saying, "Oh, Harry, how could you?!"

Harry realized that the night in question was the same night that he had slept with Ginny and then headed off to see Draco. Ginny had felt great that night, but he still thought of his Draco. Apart of him felt bad about hurting Ginny. The other part realized he only felt bad that she found out. Perhaps, Draco is rubbing off on him.

"Apparently, my Draco isn't your only lover Mr. Potter." Lucius grinned mischiviously.

Ron turned to Harry. "You slept with my baby sister, too?!"

"Yes." Harry whispered.

"She was a virgin! You took her virginity and then left to sleep with Draco!" Ron's anger started showing through as his face turned a fire red. "I don't even know you anymore! Hermoine will be furious, too!"

"She already knows, Weasley." Lucius informed. "She has participated in a lovely threesome with Potter and Draco. I tell you, she is hot for a mudblood."

"You're sleeping with my girlfriend, too!" Ron yelled. "Who aren't you sleeping with?!"

Harry grew quiet as Ron stormed out of the store. At that moment he felt such hatred for Lucius. Just as the hatred began to fill him, Lucius pulled him close and want replaced that hatred. Lucius leaned down and softly whispered in his ear, "Tonight, I will show you what a real man can do. Tonight, you will be mine."

Hey! I'm new here, just got sorted :-)

So here's my survey!

Name: Amy
Age: 17
Interests besides HP: Is there anything else besides Harry Potter? Well, I guess I'll have to think of something...
I'm heavy into photography. I also love makeup. If I can, I prefer to do my models makeup. I like music, but it's really not my life. I love movies and reading, and when I can muster up some creativity, poetry or short stories. I used to write Harry Potter fanfiction but stopped a while back. BUT. If any of you want to see some of my photos, you can add me and you shall see all. Even the boring posts about what I ate that day...
Chat info: I love to talk about theories! I have AIM: ughmynameis amy, I'm usually on at night considering I have crappy dial-up.
High School or College: ::cough:: neither. I went through a rough time and didn't go to school, or if I did, I would skip all my classes. Needless to say I was kicked out. Right now I'm working on getting my GED and going to community college until I can transfer to a University.
Your Own Question for us: What's your favorite cheese?

Birthday??

syustat71605 — Sat, 09 Apr 2005 00:06:39 GMT

I can't remember, do we know when Ron's Birthday is? It is for the journal I am creating for him (I play Ron at sortinghat_rpg.)I am going to do some research to see if I can find out, but if anyone knows, do tell.

Sean

**edit: March 1, 1979 perhaps?

Introductions....

butterflymist — Fri, 08 Apr 2005 20:36:35 GMT

I am new to Gryffindor so I thought I would say hello to everyone.

No hazing though. I tend to have a Slytherin temper. hehe.

So when does the party start? ;D

Zombie fun!

winter_noir — Sun, 03 Apr 2005 08:05:46 GMT

Just thought I'd keep you guys updated with some visual stimulation.

Yes, there were entrails. Being scooped out of the chest wound
you see below, and hanging from band members guitar and bass. It
was nasty, dude, and pig guts smell after a while!

And I didn't kill Victoria. We got along really well today.
Just a bad first impression I guess. Below is our main zombie,
last of the night , whom we worked on together. I did almost all
the blood, the skin for the wound (no that's not his skin under the
ripped shirt, he's actually very hairy) and a lot of the wound makeup,
she painted around the hole, and dide his face minus most blood and
helped me glue down the big nasty mess I made with LOTS of blood!

Big gaping chest wound (torn shirt, torn skin):

Zombified face:

Ain't he pretty? I'm proud of him anyway. That's actually
my makeup on the ledge you see behind him. Well, some of it.

mystical_pools — Tue, 29 Mar 2005 12:27:11 GMT

Hey, would anyone mind if I made a new layout for this community? I'm not saying that the current one is bad or anything - it's actually really good, but a change would be really refreshing. I don't mind if you say that I can't - just consider it.

Thanks!

defyordinary — Thu, 24 Feb 2005 03:55:16 GMT

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that the RPG is up. It'll be a fun way to earn points if you're interested! Just go to sortinghat_rpg! You can make your own characters or play as ones from the book! If you're new to the RPG scene, well, that makes two of us! But hey, it'll be fun, plus, we can earn points!

Well apparently we're supposed to discuss our theories about the new MoM this month, and since no one has started discussing anything (and since I don't particularly want to lose the House Cup), I do suppose someone ought to strike up some form of conversation in this regard, eh?

So, Fudge got sacked. First let me say, Thank God. I hated that guy. As for the new MoM, one really has to wonder. Personally, I think with the Ministy's track record, they're going to pick someone incompetent, but maybe You-Know-Who turning up in their HQ is enough of a wake-up call, in which case, I should think Madame Bones will get the job. She's Susan Bones aunt (or something like that) and she's the one who was sitting next to Fudge at the Wizengamut. In addition, she was genuinely impressed with Harry's Patronus, and her family was active in the Order during the first war. So. I think and hope she gets the job.
