    Yayyyyy!!! Thank you Dario! *scampers off to frolic around the shiny CR*

  2. Prof. Sky Alton

    What do you get when you cross a lion with a guard dog? ...A terrified Postman. (Too bad not to share)

      I'd be lion if I said that wasn't justified

  3. Prof. Sky Alton

    Randomly struck by how lovely the word leonine is. Say it with me....leonine.

    1. Prof. Tarma Amelia Black

      Prof. Tarma Amelia Black

      It is, isn't it.  But now I realize I've never said it out loud -- just read it! So how does one pronounce leonine?  Sort of like I never knew how to say Hermione until I heard it in the movie.  I think I was saying it, in my head, Herm-E-on. Ooops.  :)

      I believe it's Lee-on-nine (though I've heard some people say neen). My friend's dad read HP aloud to her and to this day she finds it weird hearing people pronouncing Slytherin as 'slither-in' because apparently he said it very differently!

    Yo, lirking Lions, harry Potter Book Festival over at the Bookclub on the hol forum, be there! (Well...if you want...and who wouldn't want more of my questionable humour?)

  5. Prof. Sky Alton

    "I've lost them!" "Your marbles?" "The Deathly Hallows!"-the chaos that ensues from trying to put HP charms on an incredibly fiddly bracelet.

  6. Prof. Sky Alton

    Paw Print Article complete, just a story to magic up now! Anyone got a quick quotes quill handy?

    In the jungle, the mighty jungle...

  8. Prof. Sky Alton

    Happy holidays, lions! (And obviously to any other beings who happen to be around)

  9. Prof. Sky Alton

    Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lanes, snow is glistening....

    Someone save me from my own powers of procrastination

  11. Prof. Sky Alton

    Getting a lot of Internal Server errors from the CR, anyone else?

    1. Prof. Jenny Lupin

      Prof. Jenny Lupin

      Yep, we are looking into it. :) We think it is something with the host... 

    2. Prof. Sky Alton

      Prof. Sky Alton

      Ah, good! Just wanted to check ;)

  12. Prof. Sky Alton

    Does the walker choose the path or the path the walker?

  13. Prof. Sky Alton

    Pottermore says my patronus is a Nebelung cat. Anyone else discovered their's?

      Ugh, why won't they make it accessible?? That's awful. :(

      I'm also not much of a dog person, but still got an Ibizan Hound. They seem like super nice dogs, though! And it's comforting to imagine them chasing bad thoughts away... ahhh.

    2. Prof. Sky Alton

      Prof. Sky Alton

      Reggy, for most people, it's just a case of not thinking until it's either to late or enough people hammer it into the corperate consciousness. I recently upgraded to windows ten and the accessability advice for most functions was  'Screen reader users are advised not to use this feature at this time'.

      But you have to pick your battles in life and Pottermore (let alone Microsoft) is not one I currently have the disgruntled disabled person clout for.

      Sorry guys! Tangent. If it's any comfort, I love all of your patronuses (Beagles are one of my favourite breeds and Amanda's made the Philip Pullman fangirl in me squeal)

      Dolphin, here. I was disappointed at first because I wanted an owl, but now I LOVE it.

    Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts, to goblins and ghosts and to magicl feasts; it's all that I love and it's all that I need!

  16. Prof. Sky Alton

    It would appear that I'm a 4th year..... time at Hol is flashing past.

  17. Prof. Sky Alton

    According to the forums it's your birthday ... so happy Birthday :D

      Happy birthday, Hailey! :)

    Each time you smile, it'll only last a while. Life maybe scary but it's only temporary.

      Beautiful ^^

      It's from the finale of the Musical Avenue Q. Most of the songs are unquotably inappropriate for HOL but this tiny snippet is great. ;)

    Missing: My Motivation. Fear it may have escaped while I wasn't looking and  been hit by a car. Reward for information.

      Ours probably escaped to Antarctica together.

      Prof. Sky Alton

      Gosh darn it. Well, I hope they have fun motivatedly building igloos and snowmen without us.

  20. Prof. Sky Alton

    Someone just used the term 'Dark Mark' on the news. Everybody take cover!

      Wait, what!? O.O
