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.
I do have to respect the fact that he's still technically a student. Restricted capabilities and all that.
I will take that suggestion into consideration, thank you. Have a cookie. :)
That's an interesting point of view. I confess, I haven't really seen any SI that goes into those...

Merlin seemed awfully pleased, the way he looked at me.
I looked back at him. "What?"
"You did it."
"Did what?"
"Did something heroic," Merlin...
Thanks! And...
Emptiness is right. It would be out of tone.
I considered a spell that conjured/created/whatever active, live bullets that streak towards the target, but figured that would break things a little too much. Feel free to use the idea yourself, though!
I like this explanation! Have a cookie.
The presence of ambition is not mutually inclusive with the presence of competence.
Okay.
You're welcome!
That smoke everyone saw in the end was Voldemort abandoning Quirrell. He escaped.
Fair points! Thank you. Have a cookie. :)

I couldn't decide if I was going to die or not.
"Let the boy go, Quirinus," said Dumbledore calmly.
"Go?" Quirrell asked. Then he laughed...
Forgot some comments that I wanted to reply too. My mistake, hope you'll all forgive me.
I understand your opinion, but I request that you not insult J. K. Rowling in my thread. Her books are why I even got started writing in the first place, and following her example taught me how to write...
Yes!
Also, Marcus stole his nose. Completely justified crash out, if I'm honest.
Pretty much, yeah. Of course, if Lucius does accept it...hm...
Curse you and your...your... *checks cards* logic and reasoning!
But seriously, can Filch even use the Floo?
That said, you are right. You'd...

Today is the day that I die.
Well...probably.
Haven't been up to Merlin yet today. Got roped into the scheme after my Occlumency session...
Ha! Though I wouldn't go that far. I'd call her 'differently specialized'.
Ooh! Headcanon time! Remus's mental health is in the toilet and has a hard enough time taking care of the things he owns. That, and if you can fix anything with a wave of a wand, why take care of anything?
It's the...
You're welcome! :)
Government jobs, sourcing potion ingredients, wands and other wizarding paraphernalia, books, novelty enchanted items, Quidditch tournaments. Basically, stuff that makes magic possible but can't be replicated with a wave of the wand.
Also, consider this headcanon that most...
And thank you for being chill about it. I'm not mad and I'm sorry if I gave you that impression.
Have a cookie.

Never before had I ever wished for exams to hurry up and get here as I did this week.
Oh, we had homework. I made sure to get it done. They were a...
