As a newbie, I thought I'd offer up a cute drabble in order to make you all love me (I need the recognition [kidding])

Hope you all like

Title: Better Kept Secrets
Word Count: 100
Challenge: Founders
Characters: Rowena Ravenclaw and Luna Lovegood
Originally posted on hp100 for the founders challenge.
AN: I did not write down the riddle, because no one knows the true question, but we know that the answer is 42. (thank you Douglass Adams)

Everyone knew about Salazar Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets. Not much of a secret really. He’d made such a big deal of it when he left.

Hardly anyone knew that Rowena Ravenclaw left behind a secret for her heir. She knew one day a student would come to Hogwarts and, using her ability to think deeply and differently than anyone else, would open the door to her secret chamber.

Luna had never noticed it before, but there was a riddle carved into the wall. She read the riddle and then spoke the answer “42.” The wall slid away and Luna entered.

TRIVIA!

Hey guys, I know that our lovely Deputy Headmistress just posted about this in the Main Hall, but... please go do these 10 trivia questions! They are REALLY easy, I knew most of them off the top of my head! (Ok, that is partially a sign that I have a problem, I admit it.) Slytherin and Hufflepuff are beating the living crap out of point-wise, so if you have a second, go do it, fast! (It's due on Sunday night at midnight.) So go, go, go! :-) Here's the link:

Mary Sue like WHAT

2005-06-03T09:20:10Z

well, as per request by bekijane, here is my Mary Sue fic, starring none other than me! For this fic, I decided to incorporate both my favorite characters and my least favorite character! It was a good opportunity for me to get a little of that venting off of my chest. Hehehe... Enjoy!

Sarah La Due: Transfer Student Extraordinaire

“Harry, who’s that new girl sitting next to Neville?” Hermione asked.

“Dunno exactly, but I’m betting it’s that new transfer student everyone’s been talking about. Her name’s… Sarah, I think? Yeah, that’s right, Sarah La Due. Supposed to be quite mouthy, at least that’s what Dean Thomas was saying at breakfast,” Harry replied, glancing over at the pretty new girl while trying to correctly measure his Armadillo Bile. “Have you met her at all yet, Ron?”

Ron mumbled something incoherent while shopping up a yellow, leafy plant. He didn’t seem to be very interested at all in the conversation.

“Well, she seems alright to me, would you look at that, she’s done with her sleeping draught already, and it’s exactly the right color!” Hermione seemed to be more than a little put off by the fact that someone had managed to finish before she had, but before anyone had time to reply, the appearance of Snape at Neville’s table had attracted the attention of the entire class.

“Well, Mr. Longbottom, I see that you have managed to waste some more of my supplies on yet another failed potion. It seems to me that you would do the entire school a favor by drinking the entirety Mrs. La Due’s potion, hence allowing you to sleep for a few days and release us from your unbearable presence.”

Neville turned a shade of green not unlike that of his faulty potion, but the new girl sitting next to him turned a shade of angry red. “How completely uncalled for,” she said, shocking the entire class into a silence broken only by a few gasps and the sound of Lavender Brown dropping her glass vial.

“Excuse me, Miss La Due? Do you have something you would like to say to me?”

And before anyone knew what was happening, she had begun a tirade as fast as lightening. “Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. It’s clear that you haven’t grown out of some teenage angst faze yet, and I do think that it’s high time you should. What kind of grown man takes out his anger on a young boy? It’s a shame you never grew up when you had the chance, Professor. I’m sure you have some terrible story about your horrible childhood, but the fact is, nothing excuses the pathetic and vile human being that you are today. It’s funny, that in a castle full of hundreds of children, you are, by far, the most immature person within these walls.”

The class stared, open-mouthed and in awe. Even Snape, for once, had nothing to say. As she gathered her things and walked towards the door, she turned and looked back to the table. “Don’t listen to a word he says, Neville. You have moral character that he can only dream of, and the hero that lives within you could out-maneuver Snape anyday.”

Walking towards the door, ignoring the now virulent screams that had seemed to have finally found their way to the Potion Professor's mouth, she tapped Ron on the shoulder and said, “You’ve added too much of the roots, Weasley.” And with a final grin and a flip of her robe, she was gone.

“You know her?!?” Hermione asked incredulously.

“Yeah,” muttered Ron, his eyes wide as he stared out the door where she had left. “She’s dating Fred! I knew she had to be a nutter!”

Because I'm bored

2005-06-01T23:32:53Z

I got this from another sorting community I'm in:

Think of some people in the real world, what house would they belong in?

Ex: I think Winston Churchill is such an obvious Gryffindor, it's not even funny.

My letter of resignation...

2005-05-14T12:55:14Z

The Headmistress has all ready approved this through an aim chat.

I'm offly sorry, but I'm afraid I've to leave the sorting communities all together. Ever since I started High School, life has been giving me more and more todo. My hope is that the rumors are true as far as my school goes and that this year was my hardest year.
Also, I'm just thinking a head of time, but I'm going to be gone most of July due to a huge trip and band camp. Leaving only one 'Claw prefect.

So, in order not to leave our prefect with the duties of two, I'll put up the application.

Prefect Application
Name:
Age:
Were you expecting to be sorted into Ravenclaw/
Why do you feel you can represent your house?
Do you have the time to handle this position?

Email this to aeoneternity (at) sbcglobal.net(take out spaces of course)

I'll wait until there is a second prefect to make my leave official.

HI

2005-05-07T22:03:32Z

I'm officially off hiatus now.. got a new computer, and the semester is just about over... well I have finals next week.. but yeah.

I'm off hiatus. :)

my guess

2005-05-05T02:41:44Z

I cut this because, its kind of random...but excuse me...I have ONE more final..lol (then i become a senior in college! EEK!) :)

Wow...now there is something I had never thought of! Hmm...Well lets see. I guess I would say Neville or possibly Dean Thomas, or wait! maybe seamus!!

Okay so Seamus might be more logical, or Neville...both prefer to be spectators of the sport..if Im correct.

but, whos to say that they will even point out a person for his position, maybe it will be like all the other years and crazy so they have to *gasp* cancel quiddith.

OR MAYBE! :D JUST MAYBE, Oliver wood will come back as a quidditch teacher, or join Hooch with her broomstick lessons, and he could be the commentator.

*cries* Why cant it be July already?

2005-05-03T01:20:09Z

Hey 'Claws...
It's your prefect here telling some announcements.

I'd like to remind/say that the headmistress has redone the probation thing. You now need to sort two people and then also comment at least once in the main area. It'd also be nice to get some activity in here, so don't forget the common room.

Also, I'm co-prefectless....here's the application. Friday's supposedly the due-date....so please, please, please apply.

Prefect Application
Name:
Age:

Email this to kemeki at hotmail.com (take out spaces of course)

EDIT//"Ten points for responding to something in the mainroom - you're supposed to come up with a prompt for them to discuss in the common rooms, something harry potter related.

then they have to make new posts saying what they think and that's how they get the points." -Headmistress

Hey guys! This was a question on the application over at lumos_sorting which I just applied to, and I thought it was really neat. So I figured I'd ask it here, to see what you guys thought!

What would your Room of Requirement look like?

So come on, 'fess up! I want to hear!

Slash

2005-04-01T01:54:21Z

Hey! I'll start this one too.
I'm not too fond of Slash. This does not mean I have anything against those who like it. For one thing, I don't think it has much founding in cannon. I am also someone who values a good strong friendship between people almost more then romantic stuff. I don't care for sexual stuff of any kind and most slash I've seen has not been mild slash but very involved.

Favorite Ship

2005-04-01T01:51:22Z

Ok, my favorite ship... I don't have one. I deal with ships but only as a secondary plot. I also don't tend to care too much which ship it is. (Except I don't like slash much but that's a different post). I guess I also don't care for OC ships much, like Hermione and Draco. There have been a few stories that I have liked them in but something that OC has to be worked up to well, no sudden out of no where stuff. I'm also not too fond of Snape/Hermione, especially when Hermione is younger. That just seems illegal.
Otherwise I'm pretty open about them. I actually like father figure fics best. I don't care who the father figure is but if it is someone unexpected it should be very well written- like with the OC ships.
