"Morning," says George.
"Morning," I say, as you venture across my profile.
I am a teenaged boy and I absolutely admire the Harry Potter series. I haven't much experience with writing fanfiction (which is plausible as I've only written 1 story), but I simply love reading good fanfics by other writers. I have a certain fondness for stories about the Marauders, and I really hope that Jo writes some more short stories about them. It was a pleasant surprise to discover her 800 word Marauder's story as part of a charity auction event. Here's the link to a typed transcript of the story( ), but even more amazing, here's a copy of the story in the Queen's handwriting!!! . (I mean the Queen of writing, not the Queen of England :P). One of my favourite things about the Harry Potter series is the sheer scope of the universe and the extraordinary history and detail behind nearly every single character. Jo supports fanfiction (or so she said in an interview), and her books are the ideal launching ground for any fanfic story. I would never have come across this site and the very wonderful people who use it without realising that the HP universe would make for an awesome little bit of writing, and when I did find this site, the extraordinary stories I read had me instantly in love with it, and will hopefully keep me here forever.
I also enjoy Harry Potter trivia. Here's a question which I think is kind of tough, and it's the only one I can think of, despite the fact that I generally dislike these types of 'rote-learnt numerical questions' (this is because knowing the answer to this question doesn't really indicate how big a fan you are, it just shows a meticulous memory :P).
What is the acceleration of Harry's Firebolt, as mentioned in PoA?
The answer is at the bottom.
Oh, and there's this really elaborate description of the basin in Snape's dungeon, it's a gargoyle! that spouts water! In a classroom. Hogwarts is amazing. It's written in CoS, in the potions class where the students make a shrinking solution and Snape feeds it to Trevor the toad, who turns into a tadpole! :)
I can also be found on Pottermore, I'm LightMarauder108.
Answer to the question about the acceleration of a Firebolt: Zero - 150 mph in 10 seconds

Well, I'm going to do this list of stereotypes. It's complete nonsense, so please don't read it. You probably won't like it. But in any case, to the esoteric one(s), this is for you. :)

I hang out with teenage drinkers and smokers, so I MUST smoke and drink too.

I like READING, so I MUST be a LONER.
I have my OWN spiritual ideology; therefore I MUST be WRONG or MISGUIDED. (Hmmm, the half-bold strikes again. With audacity! Well, to be more serious, I don't really have my own entire ideology, this kind of links up with the religion thing, I just find it hard to accept certain things in my religion (not ethically or anything, in case I'm not being clear,) it's just that I'm kind of dubious about the concept of God and things like that, too long a discussion, and to be honest, I'm not really sure. But I have certain beliefs about religion, and faith, and actually, this statement explicitly mentions 'spiritual[ity]', which may actually be considered different to religion for many people. So yeah, I have no idea what I'm babbling about, I've clearly been drinking befuddling solution).
I am WICCAN, so I MUST be a SATANIST.

I DON'T CURSE, so I MUST be an outcast.
I like GAMES, ANIME and COMICS, so I MUST be childish.

I’m STRONG so I MUST be stupid.

I’m GAY so I’m after EVERY straight guy around.
I don’t want a BOYFRIEND so I MUST be Lesbian.
I'm NOT CHRISTIAN so I MUST just need converting
I love marching band, so I MUST be a friendless freak. (Well, kinda wrong to bold this, but I like marching bands.

I DRINK and SMOKE, so I MUST have no life.
I am friends with a CUTTER, so I MUST be a CUTTER too.
I CRY EASILY, so I MUST be a wimp. (Hmm, well, my imagination can be over-active, and yes, I tend to get emotional because for some reason I have to try to grapple with something profound about the nature of humanity, death, god, love, and powerful things like that.)
I can't help POINTING OUT MISTAKES so I MUST be an over-controlling perfectionist.

I DON'T CRY so I MUST have no emotions.
I'm a VIOLIST, so I MUST never reach my fourth finger high enough.
