Hi Newts! We're making great progress on our classes - here's where we stand:

Arithmancy - Class Mastered!

Astronomy - We've got one more book needed (we do have several that fit if we get in a pinch, but some we get points per page for this we're looking for the highest page count possible) - Danielle were you working on another book for this?

Care of Magical Creatures - Class Mastered!

Charms - we are stuck on the water making charm. Does anyone have any ideas? A few books we have for part of it are:



* We need to use either the title or the cover for both parts*
One thought - a book with Drought in the title to counter Flood

DADA - Class Mastered!

Divination - We still need 3 ARCs - Erika can you let us know where you're at with these?

Herbology - Still need 500+ page book with brown cover. I'm still reading Game of Thrones, but if someone else has something let us know.

History of Magic - Class Mastered!

Potions - Class Mastered!

Transfiguration - Class Mastered!

Bwhahahaha! Just had a vision of Sandy going “pubes? Screw that! I’m all in!” before spraying vanilla everywhere!



(Sorry,..."

Yeah,, I guess after that visual I'll need to switch to another scent!

Does this mean I have to give up my vanilla room spray?

It is 3 mysteries in one volume of 592 pages.
Before I start it can I get an OK ..."

Sorry Linda - boxed sets have to have each book logged separately so we can't use the overall page count

Enjoy your parent's Andrew!!!

I'm slow right along with you, Suzanne!

Hufflepuff Beater *Danielle* swoops in to save Talia

Danielle has completed Dead Sexy Dragon in defense of Talia

I just finished Chapter 5 and I thought Michelle's interaction (view spoiler)[ with the bank was a little farfetched. I guess it's needed to keep Carly in the story, but still.... (hide spoiler)]

I'll try and get caught up tonight Leah

I was surprised by ..."

Yes Kate - I wonder what our Triwizard tournament is going to look like!!!

I'm still jealous Sassafrass! I hope you had a wonderful time and we want to see pictures! I have another GR friend who is leaving today for an Alaska cruise - I guess this is the time of year for that? How many hours of daylight did you have?

Through Chapters 9 & 10 (Tyrion and Jon) - it's so sad (view spoiler)[ that Eddard still has to leave with the King despite Bran's injury, and that Jon has to leave as well. So far I think Arya is my favorite character and I like that Jon gave her the sword - I bet that's going to come in handy at some point! (hide spoiler)]

Hi!! I'll be slow as well, Annalisa. I've read through chapter 2 and I'm interested in what happened between Michelle and Carly! Carly alluded that (view spoiler)[Michelle slept with her fiance - I wonder if there was more to the story since Michelle is so angry with Carly. And how she told Carly she was fired!!! It sounds like Michelle is really suffering and I'm interested to know more about what is really going on with her. (hide spoiler)]
