Haunted

SPOILER WARNING for anyone who hasn't read Mortal Coil. Look away now.

Just a quick note to say that the Halloween story will be appearing as soon as I've finished it. HOPEFULLY that will be tonight, but it might be tomorrow, and appear on Halloween itself. I have to say, it feels good to be writing about Tanith once again, even if she IS ever so slightly evil...

SPOILER OVER

And speaking of Halloween, look at the desktop thingy you can download. Yay desktop thingies!





In keeping with the general creepiness of the season, may I also direct your attention to Haunted, a compilation of ghost stories by various writers, of which I am one. It's out now, and as part of the promotion, the writers are appearing as guests on various blogs around blogland. I had the good fortune of writing a piece for the Bookwitch, which can be found here:

Lavender Hope said...

Back! And you guys have now turned Potter crazy! :P

Sparky Braginski said...

Lav, what's your username?

Sparky Braginski said...

For Pottermore?

Lavender Hope said...

SpellDust31518

Lavender Hope said...

*laughs*

We are the Potter crazies! All we need now is a Ravenclaw.

Eve the ROCK said...

You know, it's just the world of HP that I love, not the story.

Sparky Braginski said...

I'm DawnStone.

Eve the ROCK said...

What team are you in, Lav?

Zathract Mist said...

*is still a snake*

*is having a snakeseizure*

Lavender Hope said...

Gryffindor.

Eve the ROCK said...

Fine, join Sparky's team. I'll be all by myself.

I am a Hufflepuff, and I stand alone.

*starts humming Boulevard Of Broken Dreams*

Sparky Braginski said...

*turns into a human again*

*hugs wand*

Phoenix Feather Core!!!

Lavender Hope said...

Hufflepuff's last for house points.

House with most points, down

Lavender Hope said...

Oh wait. Now Ravenclaw's in lead.

Zathract Mist said...

YEAH! SLYTHERIN IS WINNING THE HOUSE CUP! RAWR!!!!

Lavender Hope said...

*speaks in a reporter voice*
Ravenclaw and Slytherin are neck and neck!

Zathract Mist said...

No...

Slyth
Raven
Huff
Gryff

Eve the ROCK said...

I have alder, dragon core, 12 and a half inches, brittle!

Way to rub it in, lav.

HUFFLEPUFF!

Zathract Mist said...

Slytherin is ahead by at least 300, 000 points, Lav.

Luciana said...

Hello. It's 2:30 AM, here. ^_^

Zathract Mist said...

Ha! Eve had an Elder wand!

Zathract Mist said...

Hiya, L.

Lavender Hope said...

*still speaking in reporter voice*
The changes are happening so fast! Again, Slytherin's in lead, but probably not for long!

Zathract Mist said...

Oh, no it is actually Alder...

Lavender Hope said...

Hi L! :)

Eve the ROCK said...

ALDER, not Elder!

Eve the ROCK said...

HI Luciana!

Lavender Hope said...

Ravenclaw in the lead again, but Slytherin's probably going to beat them before this comment is posted.

Lavender Hope said...

Yup.

Luciana said...

Hey, Mist! You've got me re-obsessed with Disturbed! THANKS!!!!! ;D I forgot about them, for a while, don't know how.

Zathract Mist said...

Eve, our wands are almost the same. Same core and same length. :D

Eve the ROCK said...

*grins* What's your wand made of? And how strong is it?

Luciana said...

Hey Eve and Lav! *waves*

Lavender Hope said...

It's Ravenclaw vs Slytherin for the cup! Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are also neck and neck.

Zathract Mist said...

RAVENCLAW IS LEADING! NOOO!

Eve the ROCK said...

Yay!

*frowns*

I hear...OH, that's Shaun playing his little HP game. He hogs the iPad.

Lavender Hope said...

*sighs and stops with the reporter voice*

This is hard. The points are changing every second!

Sparky Braginski said...

Lav, I sent a practice dual to you.

Lavender Hope said...

Kay.

Lavender Hope said...

Wow Sparky. You're good with the body-bind spell. :)

Zathract Mist said...

Ebony, Dragon core, 12 1/2 inches, fairly supple.

Sparky Braginski said...

That's the only spell I use, so....

Lavender Hope said...

My wand is an English Oak that's 12 3/4 inches and is slightly springy with a dragon core.

Luciana said...

..............Just reading the talk on wands.......I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING. I AM A FILTHY CHILD. GAHHHHHHhh. PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE ELSE UNDERSTANDS THIS INNUENDO.......

Lavender Hope said...

Oh. I'm practicing my Tongue Tying spell.

Eve the ROCK said...

Hey, I have a book called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and it was written by Newt Scamander *coughjkrowlingcough* and he was a Hufflepuff! So HA!

Zathract Mist said...

Merlin himself was a Slytherin. So HA!

Eve the ROCK said...

Fairly supple ebony. Awesome.

But it's no match for my brittle alder!

Alder is awesome.

Luciana said...

DUMBLEDORE WAS A GRYFF!!!!!!!! B O O M M M M M .

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh yeah! Hufflepuff is black and yellow!

Oh, yeah, you know what it is! Black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow

Zathract Mist said...

Gryff's are Slyth wannabes.

Sparky Braginski said...

I could've sworn Dumbledore was Ravenclaw...

Eh.

Go, Go, GRYFFINDOR!

RAWR!!!!

Luciana said...

*she shuts up so she doesn't say inappropriate and filthy things*

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah, well Voldemort was a Slytherin, which ultimately labels Slytherin as the House of the Noseless. *nods*

Eve the ROCK said...

Hahahahahaha. No, I'm kiddingz. Slytherin is awesome coz you're in it. :D

Luciana said...

GRYFF HAS THE PHELPS TWINS (a.k.a Fred and George). WIN.

*she shuts up once again, to avoid filth*

Eve the ROCK said...

*speaks quietly* But you know, us Hufflepuffs control the comments here. ;)

Zathract Mist said...

I know. :D

I wish you were in the same house as me...

Lavender Hope said...

*sighs at the squabbles over the Houses*

*is not taking part*

*keeps quiet and goes to Pottermore*

Eve the ROCK said...

Me too. But you don't belong in Hufflepuff, and I'm not a Slytherin, so...

Zathract Mist said...

Meh.

Eve the ROCK said...

Lav, it's just friendly bickering. :D

Sparky Braginski said...

Well, I have 34 minutes to wait before my potion is brewed.

Lavender Hope said...

I know, it's just...

*stops talking*

Eh. Can't explain. Maybe it'll just pass...

Lavender Hope said...

Sparky Braginski said...

Zathract Mist said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Okay. I'm gonna have breakfast so I can go on Pottermore and smash my boyfriend in a wizard duel. :P

Be back soon!

*hugs Mist and bursts into oblivion*

Sparky Braginski said...

*swears*

Never mind about the potion, I need to go.

*grinds teeth and mutters about mum's misunderstanding of importance of getting potion to brewing stage*

BYE!!!

Luciana said...

*stays shut up*

Luciana said...

I keep on thinking I'm going to be filthy.

Lavender Hope said...

Sparky Braginski said...

Eve the ROCK said...

*sighs* It took me a million times to get my potion right, and I lose every duel.

Sparky Braginski said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Ah, I think I know what happened, Sparky.

Eve the ROCK said...

Brb

Sparky Braginski said...

I have a 34 minute wait till I can finish this god-f*cking-damned potion.

And I got THREE HOUSE POINTS!?

Zathract Mist said...

Gah. You should have gotten more than THAT.

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Mist! *hugs*

I lost, Sparky. :/

Zathract Mist said...

*hugs*

Hi!

Zathract Mist said...

Uh...you ok, Sparky...?

Eve the ROCK said...

I lost in the duel. :(

All of them. :(

Zathract Mist said...

I'll duel you when I get home.

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello!

45 minutes till this potion is ready.

Eve, how about we duel, but I don't use that spell?

Zathract Mist said...

Anyone have their Signature Curse/Spell/Hex yet?

Sparky Braginski said...

Either Petrificus Totalus or Mimble Wimble.

Eve the ROCK said...

It probably won't make a difference. I'm just bad at spells.

Mist, what do you mean? How do you see if you have one?

Zathract Mist said...

I use Incendio and Petrificus Totalus most but I think I'll end up using Stupify all the time once I unlock it.

Zathract Mist said...

I meant one you like, Eve.

Sparky Braginski said...

Stupify.

That is one heck of a spell.

Brb....

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh, okay. I only use Flipendo but I fail at it anyway.

Zathract Mist said...

Stupify!

Look in my face,
State within my soul,
Look in my face,
State within my soul,
Look in my face,
State within my soul,
I begin to Stupify!
Rah!

Eve the ROCK said...

I can only use Knockback Jinx, Curse of Bogues and Fire-Making Spell. I can't use the others.

Sparky Braginski said...

Of every spell in HP, Protego is definitely my favourite.

Eve the ROCK said...

WHY ARE THERE ONLY THREE SPELLS I CAN USE?

Sparky Braginski said...

Keep going through the book.

The story.
