Voila?

Some of you may have noticed that me and mine (Lily, Dawn, Cathy, Al, etc) have been scarce to non-existent since December. Between college, work and the holidays I have been completely wiped out.

But there's more.

At the beginning of the month, my best friend of many years was killed by a car crossing the road.

Erin had been my best friend since we were tiny, literally, in diapers together. And now she's gone. I'll be back, eventually, but I haven't been in the mood, really, to dive in to RP with all of this going on.

1. Tell me one thing you love about me.
2. Tell me two things you love about yourself. No self-deprecation allowed!
3. Look through the comments — when you see someone you know, tell them three things you love about them.
4. Do this in your journal.

1 question...
1 chance...
1 honest answer...

That's all you get. Ask me one question. Any one question, anything, no matter how crazy it is. An honest answer. No catch.

Well, okay, there's just one. All comments will be screened so your question stays private between you and me, and only you will get to see my answer to your question. But I dare you to repost this and see what people ask you.

On behalf of the muns of several esteemed Hogwarts Professors I would like to broadcast the following message:



Thank you to Siriusmun for the banner. It wins. Like a winningthing.

Because of recent incidents in grownhp6words I felt it was needed for me to post a little something regarding the way that Lily has handled her classroom for the past ten years. In hpsixwords, Lily was offered the post of Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and she takes this job VERY seriously.

Teaching has been Lily's ambition since she was in school. Lily LOVES TO HELP people and it is RIDICULOUS (not to mention: GODMODDING) to assume that in a student's entire career she had not offered help. So therefore, effective as of the hpsixwords timeline and continuing UNTIL I SAY OTHERWISE. This is how LILY deals with HER classroom.

*Lily has an open door tutoring policy. Three times a week she has tutorials in the evening after classes but before dinner. Anyone who likes may attend.

*Lily grades Potions on a balanced scale. The majority of the grades in her room are for LAB WORK. Lab work consists of BREWING and PREPARING Potions. After this she has REPORTS. These reports are analysis of WHAT/WHY a Potion went wrong and are assigned, most often, to students who do not get their lab work right. Tests and quizzes are INFREQUENT. They are NOT needed. More likely a TEST GRADE is the preparation of a certain Potion or two rolls of parchment on the characteristics of a certain ingredient.

*If ANY student receives a grade less than "Acceptable"? Lily sends an owl to the child's parents and suggests remedial courses. She then speaks to the Headmaster about the same and confronts the student about her worries and her offer for remedial courses. THIS IS ALWAYS OFFERED. Lily does NOT pick and choose. If you get LESS than an "Acceptable"? You've been offered the class.

*Lily is a VERY good teacher. She does not just THROW you into NEWT work and not explain a damn thing. She lectures and she ANSWERS ALL QUESTIONS.

*Lily is concerned for the well being of all of her students. If you have a problem and come to her during or after class? She WILL help. If a student is NOT getting help it is NOT for lack of trying on Lily's part. There comes a point where you can only OFFER help. It's up to the student to accept it.

So. Real life took over and now I'm back.

Miss me?

Go to Google, type your name with "needs" in quotes. Then post ten needs that show up for you.

01. Lily needs a new home. Rather. Headquarters is not so comfortable as you would think.
02. Lily needs a bath. With bubbles and candles and hot, hot water? Yes, please.
03. Lily needs foster home in Memphis TN area. ...No. I don't think I do.
04. Lily needs help! . . . . . .
05. Lily needs a nice boy. Maybe once I'm off the rebound.
06. Lily needs me. And who is it that I need?
07. Lily needs someone who will offer her forever, safety, understanding... Lovely. Harry, son? I think you fit the bill.
08. Lily needs to understand her behavior is dangerous. Are we talking about the incident with Greyback?
09. Lily needs a muggle education. ...I had one.
10. Lily needs time to heal.
