The name of the street where the Dursleys live is a reference to that most suburban plant, the privet bush, which makes neat hedges around many English gardens. I liked the associations with both suburbia and enclosure, the Dursleys being so smugly middle class, and so determinedly separate from the wizarding world. The name of their area is 'Little Whinging', which again sounds appropriately parochial and sniffy, 'whinging' being a colloquial term for 'complaining or whining' in British English.

J.K Rowling:


Although I describe the Dursleys' house as big and square, as befitted Uncle Vernon's...

1. I will not poke Hufflepuffs with spoons, nor will I insist that their House colors indicate that they are "covered in
bees".
2. No matter how good a fake Australian accent I can do, I will not imitate Steve Irwin during Care of Magical Creatures
class.
3. "I've heard every possible joke about Oliver Wood's name" is not a challenge.
4. Putting up Doug Henning posters in Filch's office is not appropriate.
5. I will not go to class skyclad.
6. The Giant Squid is not an appropriate date to the Yule Ball.
7. I will not use Umbridge's quill to write, "I told you I was hardcore".
8. I will stop referring...

Dear Mr. Potter,
You have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
One sentence to change millions of lives, to begin a decade...

"Harry Potter...the boy who lived...come to die..."

One sentence to end-an era-a lifetime...everything.

"The stories we love best do live in us forever; whether you come back by page, or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."...

One sentence, to bring it all back.

Re-post if you will stick with Harry, until the very end. Until the spines of your books are weakened and the pages are falling out, until you're 80 years old...

Some interesting fun facts I found and wanted to share with you! Credit to the Harry Potter wiki:

The original last name for Neville's character was "Pupp"

If you rearrange the letters in "Severus Snape" you get "Pursues Evans".

The only autograph Harry ever gave out was to Colin Creevey.

Both Michael Corner and Harry have dated the same girls, but in a different order, Cho Chang and Ginny Weasley.

Harry Potter is still the only wizard to this day that has had all three Unforgivable Curses cast on him and survived.

David Thewlis had originally auditioned for the part of Professor Quirinus Quirrell,...

Chapter 1 - a wish come true....well sort of


I had just finished reading Harry potter and the deathly hallows 'sigh' "I wish I was a witch and that I could meet Harry Potter and maybe he would fall in love with me instead of Ginny" I thought aloud. Look I know what your thinking 'wishful thinking never going to happen in a million years' yeah well a girl can dream can't she. I was perched on the windowsill gazing out the window when I saw a couple of shooting stars passing by and I thought well I've got nothing else to do so I closed my eyes and said "I wish I was a witch and that Harry Potter...

I mark myself a Slytherin. Yepp, I said it and I feel no shame.

After all, we can't say that all of them are bad. (Regulas Black, and Severus Snape being notable examples.) as well as Narcissa Malfoy and Horace Slughorn (the fun, jolly fellow he is)(As noted in comments)

Its just a house with a bad rap, because of a few bad people.

Saying all Slytherins are evil would be like saying Germany is an evil, and horrible country JUST because Adolf Hitler originated there.

My personal opinion is that, yes some Slytherins went as bad as you could go, but others just got wrapped up in the "misconceptions."...

Chapter 4

Okay, trudging up a big hill in the early hours of morning wearing a skirt wasn't the best of choices.

But it was Ginny's fault! She's the one who made me wear a mini- skirt, and she had no right to stomp n my foot when Harry choked on his cereal when he saw me. As far as I'm concerned, she can have him.

I'm not really the type to fall in love, or food poisoning, or whatever you call looking like your trying to suck eachother's faces off.

But there I was, looking at Cedric, wearing a black mini-skirt, black and white striped knee...

1. Ask him why he 'doesn't have such a cool scar?'

2. Laugh at him.

3. Wake him up by singing Beach Boys songs in his ear. 'Round, round, get around, I get around...'

4. Knit him things. Really hideous things.

5. Give him kangaroo-ears for a month.

6. Smile during Death-Eater meetings and say you taught him everything he knows.

7. Chew bubblegum all the time. Should he address you, your only response will be a series of huge bubbles in quick succession, the last of which will burst everywhere and make a mess.

8. Dance the Funky Chicken.

9. Ask him when was the last time he took a bath.

10. Pat him on...

This is a small humorous one-shot fanfic.

Main Characters- Ron and Harry

Pairings- None

----------------------------------------------------


"Are you sure, Ron?" asked Harry, nervously.

"Of Course! I am. Don't worry Harry, I'm with you" replied Ron with a grin on his face.

"Why isn't it helping?" muttered Harry.

"Oh! come on! You are being ridiculous Harry" replied Ron shaking his head in annoyance.

"Ridiculous? What if she finds out? Aren't you afraid of her?" asked Harry already knowing the answer as well as Ron's going-to-be-reply.

"No" came the simple response.

Harry rolled his eyes.

"Harry, we know...

OKAY, BEFORE YOU READ THE CHAPTER, PLEASE NOTE THAT I CAN NO LONGER TAKE ANYMORE CHARACTERS AND THAT I'M FULL SO PLEASE DON'T ASK ANYMORE, I'VE LEARNED FROM OTHER FANFICTIONS THAT IF YOU PUT TO MANY CHARACTERS THE STORY GOES DOWN THE TOILET. WITH THAT SAID, LETS PRAY FOR JAPAN AND I HOPE YOU CAN ENJOY THIS, CAUSE ITS TIMES LIKE THESE THAT MAKE YOU REALIZE THAT WE DONT HAVE ALOT LEFT TO LIVE SO WE MIGHT AS WELL ENJOY ALL WE HAVE LEFT

It was a crisp autumn eve on the Hogwarts express. Albus, James and Rosie where eating cauldron cakes and goofing off, when suddenly an owl soared by and tapped furiously on the glass. Albus opened the window and the owl burst in and stuck out its leg at Albus. Albus unstrapped the note attached to its leg. The owl stared into Albus' eyes and glared.

Then without another backwards glance it took off. "What does it say?" said Rosie who looked terrified. Albus read aloud "potter, if you ever want to see your parents again you will meet me outside the shrieking shack at midnight on Halloween." "Its signed lord Voldemort" said James.

"This doesn't add up" said Rosie. " well we will have to discuss this later because now’s the sorting." Albus said. “cross your fingers that we all get in the same house." said James. "We will!" they all said in unison.

Chapter 2:
The Goblet


The next thing I know is I am at the Hogwarts hospital, Cedric, Hermione, Ron and even Harry looking at me. Cedric was holding my hand, he was the only person except me that knew the reason this happened; and thank goodness he was able to control it.

After I got out, I entered the big room, and the “welcome” ceremony was about to start. This year was a special year as I could see. Lots of other schools came to Hogwarts for some reason. I hugged and greeted every single person I knew from our school, and sat at my usual table, on the Gryffindor house’s table. Except...
