I soon become obsessed with anime and bought all of the new, popular animes; Neon Genesis Evangelion, Tenchi, Tekkaman Blade. I even delved into the world of children's anime with Pokemon and Digimon.
During one of my weekend visits to London, I went into a newly opened shop called Japanimation Desires. They carried all sorts of things there, manga, anime and something they took orders on called cosplay. What in the world is this?
I tracked down an employee and they told me what this cosplaying was all about. They gave me a pamphlet on a convention, BotCom, that was to be held in mid-August.
Here I am now, August 12. I just checked into a four star bed and breakfast, just a five minute walk away from the convention. I got the week off, as if there is anything for me to be doing right now at Hogwarts since all of my school plans are already finished.
Now all there is left for me to do is go up to my room and put the final touches on my costume. I decided to only do one, D. It only seemed appropriate. It's nearly identical to the one in the anime, the only thing different is that my hand does not talk. If I were to have charmed my hand to talk, I think some people may get a little suspicious about that, so I just made one and charmed it to stay on my hand, which works perfectly.
I got up to my room, unpacked and did what needed to be done before tomorrow. I brought plenty of muggle notes so I could by some of the hard to find animes and things like that. When everything was in order and wards were placed around my room, I retired for the night. Tomorrow was going to be one hell of a day.
