Happy birthday, dear! Thank you for the delicious cupcakes, professor! They are yummy!

Congratulations, everyone! Well done, keep it up!

I would have this dark symbol for me and my followers to use. It is a modified version of the Adinkrahene, an African symbol of greatness and leadership, which looks like 3 concentric circles (I have always dreamed of learning African magic, especially shamanic rituals, so I naturally fled to the darker parts of Africa to learn dark magic rituals, incorporating the Adinkrahene in my dark symbol is a tribute to the same). I chose the African symbol of greatness and leadership because most wizards who turn to the Dark Arts are obsessed with power, and I was no different. Inside the Adinkrahene, are my three favorite dark tools - dark potions, dark spells (wand), and dark rituals (bird feather). Below, steams away a smoking cauldron with a thick smoke, the fumes looking like thick clouds, to serve as the symbolic source of power and also to indicate that dark African concoctions are the mainstay and signature hallmark of my dark magical practices. For anything wrong that me and my followers will do, a cauldron with thick fumes will likely be involved.

When you are frisked before being detained, they usually take away all things in your possession that you can use to hurt someone else or escape. They take your wand, any potions, dangerous magical objects, and are even inclined to take any ordinary Muggle sharps such as lock-pickers and knives. The Aurors who gagged me, put me on a broomstick, and deposited me at Azkaban frisked me for the same things, except, they didn't realize what a useful thing I had in my possession, my shoelaces, and, if you will believe me, soap. They thought I wasn't going to get away. Little did they know that the harmless looking things are the most handy. You don't need a wand until an exceptionally smart Auror strips you of your basic (and harmless) necessities. I untied my shoelaces, pulled them out, and now I had two pieces of very handy and flexible but sturdy string. A small piece of soap was in my pocket, one they almost laughed at because it would finish in a few days anyway. I smeared the entrance to my cell with lots of soap, making it as slippery as I could. Then, I tied my highly elastic shoelaces to form a sort of chain behind the door of my cell. Then I made a racket saying that someone had apparated into my cell, and pretended to argue in two different voices. This brought the Aurors to my cell door, for they were worried about the safety of whoever was in my cell, but more worried how someone had breached their security and entered my cell in the first place. They kicked my cell door to open it, but the shoelaces were doing their job. As they pressed their bodies against the door, the door refused to budge, and they had to blast the door down with a Reductor Curse, and the shoelace finally gave way, but they fell with more force than usual on the slippery soap suds in their sense of urgency. One of them fell with a hand outstretched, and the wand shot out of their hand. That was enough of a diversion for me to pick the wand up and run out of the prison cell past the Aurors still trying to get up from the slippery floor but slipping down back again. I ran out into the Azkaban grounds, retrieved a Nimbus 2001 broomstick from the Aurors' broomshed, and took instant flight, keeping low to avoid being in the line of sight of the other Aurors posted near the other wings of the prison. It was a while before they found out what had happened and gave chase, but I already had a good start.

Harry Potter is not the only one with a lightning-shaped scar. His terrific mount, the Firebolt, takes its name from an ancient species of dragon - The Thunderfires. These dragons have a roar that sounds like thunder as they open their mouths to breathe out a rich golden fire. They have unique (to each individual dragon) lightning-shaped marks on a single silver scale on their foreheads, and these marks are the same as the unique one on the egg that they hatch from. The shape of the mark is not determined by genetics but is as unique as a human fingerprint. The eggs are rock-grey in color and have zigzag patterns in addition to the unique mark which is golden in color. The chicks are silvery white upto two years, then start turning golden in spots that join to become bigger. The adult dragons are a shiny golden in color all over, except for the one silver scale on their forehead, which bears the unique mark. Their size is slightly more than that of a Chinese fireball but significantly less than that of an Antipodean opaleye. They live in rock caves in mountains and their glistening bodies are often mistaken for treasure.

Preparing a nesting site for a dragon is a thoughtful act. It helps for the she - dragon to trust you, otherwise it may be difficult to get them to nest around you at all, but, torturing them like at the vaults in Gringotts is certainly not one of the ways! Dragons can be territorial and especially aggressive when nesting, and certainly so for the Chinese fireballs, so you want to begin by creating a space where other species or threats can't just fly in! Usually, the females will not even like the males of their own species hovering around, especially for the Antipodean opaleyes. The actual nesting site will require you to build it out of fire-resistant material such as tungsten or steel which can be in the form of crates full of sand, or you could choose natural rock to save you the labor and costs and provide a natural environment. The more resistant (and dragon- like ), the better! There should be enough room for the mother dragon to regularly breathe fire on her eggs without accidentally making the surroundings go up in flame, so no combustible materials! It will be assuredly difficult to create such fiery temperatures artificially, so it is mandatory to check in with the climate that the species is native to and the preferred amount of heat as well as the season! You cannot clean the area with water once the nesting has begun, because cold water sprays can cause delays in hatchings. Artificial enhancement for the hatching process can be provided through music! They love jazz! The not-so-little chicks will stay there with their mothers for two years, so plan accordingly. They will prefer dragon milk from their mother every half an hour, but in case of emergencies, only a bucket of brandy mixed with chicken blood could serve as an alternative! Their flying training will begin by the end of a year, so keep an eye out for hatchlings flying away. An underground level nesting site of enormous size with several tall brick or stone towers surrounding it can ensure that the chicks don't venture very far!

Happy Birthday, Cassie! Have a blast!

Use Scourgify when you clean Be it yellow or be it green Be what colour may the muck Be it house, or your truck, Even though dirty had it been.

This is known as an organizer. It is an expandable container-like enchanted instrument with a mouth on its top face. Whenever something is thrown carelessly out of place in the household where this instrument is kept, this instrument sucks that thing or those things into itself through its mouth, then neatly levitates it to the place where it belongs. For example, if you accidentally drop your keys on the living room mat or carelessly leave your socks lying on the floor, the organizer will suck your keys or socks in through its mouth and deposit it into your key rack or laundry bag respectively by levitating your keys and socks to the right place. No mess left to clean in the household before guests arrive, and no chance of losing things even if you have a habit of carelessly misplacing them. And of course, it's expandable to fit bigger things as well.

Very happy birthday! Janne! God bless you!

Happy Birthday, dear!
