Ya, I'm early, deal with it.

1515 Hours!

First, I'll jump right into last week's question. What is your favorite chapter from any of the first 6 books? and choose The Pheonix Lament from Half-Blood Prince. Half-Blood Prince is my favorite book out of all of them because there is so much history on Voldemort and I love all the jokes and the sexual tension between the characters. Why I choose this chapter specifically is I love the little argument between Lupin and Tonks after the battle when Fluer says she still loves Bill even though he's a werewolf...you know what let me just quote it for you. SPOILERS!

"You see!" said a strained voice. Tonks was glaring at Lupin. "She still wants to marry him, even though he's been bitten! She doesn't care!"

"It's different," said Lupin, barely moving his lips and looking suddenly tense. "Bill will not be a full werewolf. The cases are completely-"

"But I don't care either, I don't care!" said Tonks, seizing the front of Lupin's robes and shaking them. "I've told you a million times..."

And the meaning of Tonks's Patronus and her mouse-colored hair, and the reason she had come running to find Dumbledore when she had heard a rumor someone had been attacked by Greyback, all suddenly became clear to Harry; it had not been Sirius that Tonks had fallen in love with after all.

"And I've told you a million times," said Lupin, refusing to meet her eyes, staring at the floor, "that I am too old for you, too poor...too dangerous..."

"I've said all along you're taking a ridiculous line on this, Remus," said Mrs. Weasley over Fleur's shoulder as she patted her on the back.

"I am not being ridiculous," said Lupin steadily. "Tonks deserves somebody young and whole."

"But she wants you," said Mr. Weasley, with a small smile. "And after all, Remus, young and whole men don't necessarily remain so."

He gestured sadly at his son, lying between them.

"This is...not the moment to discuss it," said Lupin, avoiding everybody's eyes as he looked around distractedly. "Dumbledore is dead..."

"Dumbledore would have been happier than anybody to think that there was a little more love in the world,"

Yes I typed it all. It took forever especially because I'm typing on a keyboard that I'm not used too. Also is Tonks's a mistake? It was in the book.

So the reason that I'm not familiar with my keyboard is that I just got my new computer!!! Squee. I'll be getting skype sometime after this weekend so I can talk to y'all.

Some news about A Very Potter Sequal. The Michigan Daily posted an article here about AVPS which Team Starkid is performing this weekend in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They talked to Nick and Matt Lang (who wrote it). There is also a really cool picture of Darren (Harry), Joey (Ron), and Bonnie (Hermione) who are walking secretly with the Cloak and what seems to be the Marauders Map. While the first musical takes from the 1, 4, 6, and 7 Harry Potter books, they say this one is based more on the 1, 3, and 5. I'm wondering if they will have characters that "died" in the first musical come into the sequel like Sirius and Lupin. This report also said that it took them 6 months to write and will take 4 hours to preform.

The reason I'm posting so early is that I'm bored and not tired. But I need to go to sleep because I have a state Algebra test tomorrow :( Wish me luck! Kate, if you're not busy, I'll see you on Saturday!

Guys click on the picture so you can read the whole thing. And yes, it's doctor who.



Also who put set the date and time to east coast?
