It takes some people a long time to work out exactly what they are here for.

Sometimes...people look up to people not for who they have been, but for what they could become. For what they know they could be.

Truth pixies: the inventors of Bonbons. Slightly less dramatic than hewlip leaves that explode heads...

Love this list: How to be Jolly even when times are bad:
1. Eat more gingerbread, chocolate, jam and cake.
2. Say the word 'Christmas'
3. Give someone a present. Like a toy, or a book, or a kind word, or a big hug.
4. Laugh, even if there is nothing to laugh about. Especially then.
5. Think of a happy memory. Or a happy future.
6. Wear something red.
7. Believe

pixies not growing hew lip anymore...oh pooh and bother I liked that bit.

He had lose his father. What terror could the world offer that was worse than that?

To lose someone you love is the very worst thing in the world. It creates an invisible hole that you feel you are falling down and will never end. People you love make the world real and solid and when they suddenly go away forever, nothing feels solid anymore.

An impossibility is just a possibility you don't understand yet.

A drimick is an elvish hope spell.
