QQ will have forum downtime on October 21, starting at 10:00 AM Eastern time, for software updates.
Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
"Not exactly legal yet" "don't officially have any record".
This is either a pet project, a coverup, or being used to try to use a loophole. He should probably keep a journal for if it gets audited.
Nice arc, and sets up for some fun situations in the future. Ron getting along with the...
1. Gets caught be a mudblood student pulling a juvinile prank, which he should have known about.
2. Drew attention to turban by spells and smell.
3. Barricaded self and took a hostage because he wasn't strong or smart enough to get away otherwise. In the library of all places, the nerd.
4. No...
I mean, you could point out that Voldy is not acting very Slytherin at the moment. Kind of a pathetic display, honestly. A very, dare we say, Gryffindor performance.
Actually, sending a slow owl makes sense. The Ministry has not, to my recollection, ever done anything right. Dumbledore would have to "inform" them of such an event, but the owl gives time for the problem to actually be solved before the ministry can come along to bungle it up. Just Floo over...
Ah, I forgot that when startled, Voldemort defaults to the Unforgivables. Also, I am am just realizing that Voldey calling someone "Mudblood" can be countered with "I know you are but what am I?".
Fiendfire would distract Dumbledore, but Bombarda would have all the teachers trying to save the wounded. Fiend fire would either be blocked or kill too quick. Plus, Voldy has some measure of a soft spot for Hogwarts.
So, how many will perish once Voldemort has Quirrel cast Bombarda once he breathes fresh air? A nice explosion to draw the teacher attention to protecting the students, followed by trying to get off school grounds to apperate. Or perhaps going to the RoR or chamber of secrets.
Ooh, a collaboration!
The spirits of the lost are restless, their blood cries up from the earth against the crimes they were subjected to. My guess that they will make a Mech based on Archangel Raguel.
I'm pretty sure that the magical jocks would have the rule of "No player may use their wand while on the pitch" or something else that does not address the rare edge case of wandless magic.
Though we don't see Potter get in trouble for casting a patronus while playing.
