VI Quotes of the Week:

It was a scrap of gore. Or no, not some flying body part, but a piece of slightly ropey meat. At waist height? Something in his hind brain started screaming as he registered the scrabbling of something huge over cobblestones, and he looked up to see eight eyes fixed unerringly on his position.        -- notlibatiusborage, Controlling the Uncontrollable

Marlene McKinnon - On semi-hiatus until things have settled down for her

Sirius Black - On hiatus until October 21st

Narcissa Malfoy - On hiatus until October 26th

VI Quote of the Week:

So he’d survived long enough to get back here, especially now that his fourteen year old self and his three chin hairs (he felt very grown now he had them) were practically adults in the castle, and surely this would be the year when the younger students actually started to treat him like a more senior student. This was his pre-OWL year after all. It was undoubtedly very important.      -- notlibatiusborage, Fistful of Tears

Admin Picks of the Week:

It was slightly amusing, though Edgar tried to keep his smile under wraps, when Igor continued on to explain that his family married foreigners to avoid marrying relatives. That was the difficulty, wasn’t it? So many British purebloods hadn’t bothered to try similar methods, as the rampant xenophobia was surely getting in their way. Edgar simply thought that if you had to think that hard about not marrying your cousin, perhaps your methods weren’t quite right.      -- edgarbonesknows, How Far We’ve Come

VI Quotes of the Week:

“You must know all the details, though,” she continued pointedly. Why bother trying to be subtle? She’d never been able to manage it no matter how hard she’d tried. “Since you’re so in the know. With your obsession with reading the papers, and everything. Do you think Death Eaters were involved?” Daisy propped an elbow on the table and leaned forward, wide-eyed, the picture of inquisitiveness. “I would love to hear your take on things. Since you’re soo knowledgeable.”        -- perennialgrace, Afternoon Tea With a Side of Inquisition

Deeply invested in the future of this school and country? He snorted at that. How long had Snape practiced those words strung up in the same sentence? And now the man was seemingly complaining about how shitty the job was. He wasn’t aware he’d be entertained. But no matter how shitty life for a Hogwarts professor appeared to be, he was pretty damn sure Azkaban would be a lot worse. “I’m sure we could arrange a visit to Azkaban for you, if you wanted to have a taste of what could have been.”      -- head-auror-moody, Of Days Gone Past

VI Quote of the Week:

Drawing her own wand, Lily shifted Harry on her chest, shifting the edge of the wrap to shield his face from whatever would come. At least Tilden sounded confident and secure. Good. She could lean on that, rely on it to steady herself, even if some part of her knew it was shock. The same sort of shock that had her nodding back, striding with confidence towards the Cauldron, head down but eyes up, back slightly hunched, all with the intent of being a barrier for Harry, no matter what.      -- asphodelroot, Riddle Me This

Admin Picks of the Week:

Snape heard footsteps and laughing pass the door and scowled at it, as if preparing to non verbally skewer the first student to walk through the door. None did. As their voices faded he strained to try and make out what they were laughing at. He was very out of the loop now. As a student with few friends and fewer social graces, he'd always worried that laughs involved him, and as a teacher, that distrust of giggling teens had deepened.      -- notlibatiusborage, Of Days Gone Past

That day just kept on giving, didn’t it? First giant spiders, and now one of those Death Eaters that was clearly off the wagon with an appetite for chaos and not of the good kind. She enjoyed banter as much as the next fighter, but sometimes you just wanted your opponents to be quiet and give up like good little bad guys. Was it so much to ask really? Did they have to insist on trying to win aaaall the time? “It’s probably a case of the Fragile Egos” she thought ironically.      -- cherrybomb-witch, Why Did It Have to be Spiders?

VI Quotes of the Week:

Perhaps he was around to bother some politicians, to stage some one-man protest? He could even be there simply because he wanted to patent or request something for his line of work puttering with motorbikes. Sirius wasn’t there for any of those reasons. He felt nosy. He was bored. Restless. -- ruinousstar, Two Dogs Fighting

One day, when all this was over, he’d be a better friend. He’d treat Tilden better, be more open with him, help him [in as much as he could] with his research, and repay the hufflepuff his unfailing friendship. He didn’t like being a leech on Tilden’s kindness. Doubly when it required so much dishonesty. -- notlibatiusborage, Bad Reputation
