Alt Sally Anne 2010-08-01 12:11:00 Harry 2010-08-01 12:11:00 Harry It was an honour to be invited to your party. I hope you enjoyed it as much as the rest of us did! I had a very nice time. alt_sally_anne Only a month before we go back to Hogwarts. Enjoy the last bit of summer hols, and I'll see you September first. alt_harry at 2010-08-03 02:30:29 (no subject) Thanks Sally Anne. It was pretty wizard actually. 2010-08-01 13:41:00 (no subject) 'Sometimes yer the bludger, sometimes yer the bat.' Does that even mean anything? alt_wagstaff Right, you lot. I'll show you who's got the bigger bat. 2010-08-01 15:04:00 ORDER ONLY: Frank, Sirius, Kingsley Check in, my lovelies! At the very least, you three ought to have gotten over your hangovers from last night by now. What's alt_alice the latest? Any luck tracking down Poppy's mysterious man? Whatever you've found, I certainly hope that you keep safe. And what's this "Yes and no" Sirius? You didn't try to infiltrate Harry's birthday party, did you? Because I shall have to be very cross with you if you did. alt_sirius at 2010-08-01 19:59:26 (no subject) Morning, Allie. Er. Afternoon, I guess. I'm not hungover but Frank is. Kingsley already went out and did a reconnoitre of the Knole (at least the southward end) and didn't see anything particular. Last night we spoke to a few of the locals, who were all too quick to tell tall tales of an unauthorised centaur clan taking up residence in Knole Park, the ghost who regularly haunts the inn at Godden Green and most importantly the apothecary's son who made a cake of his life by carrying on a torrid liaison with the Chipstead camp administrator's wife. Everyone agrees they've seen a gaunt, snag-toothed man, but no one seems to have the same theory as to who he is or why he's here. The most entertaining story was that he might be the fugitive Remus Lupin, come to take refuge in the leafy expanse of Knole Park - and the going reply to that is that the centaurs will make short work of him if he dares hunt in their backyard. At any rate, Poppy's right that they all suspect he's an enemy of the Lord Protector ... but for some odd reason, they have not called on the MLE - yet. Frank thinks it may be a sign they don't want to chance it, if it's someone who stands opposed to the Protectorate. Kingsley's opinion is simply that there are enough violations of Protectorate mandates that they don't want anyone coming in to inspect them. I'm inclined to think they've simply a clannish attitude and would rather capture this bloke themselves, if possible, and collect the reward. And no, you don't need to be cross with me. I've been behaving! Well, apart from transfiguring Frank's trousers into kilts. Man has damn attractive legs, Allie, he should show them off more. alt_frank at 2010-08-01 20:08:34 (no subject) I'm not hungover. much. it's just taking me ages to work out this damn reverse transfiguration. I've got one turned back to trousers again, but they're still tartan pattern. damn you. thought I'd got you drunk enough last night so you wouldn't pull anything. any road, they made damn sure there wasn't a whiff of MLE about us before they'd open up. one of them, that really old pubman -- Pope -- he even tested the waters by telling me about his semi-legal brewery business, and when I didn't jump down his throat for it breaking the rules, that's when he really started talking. alt_sirius at 2010-08-01 20:10:35 (no subject) Leave them tartan - you'll fit in when we walk the old golf course. Anyway, if you don't hurry up soon they'll stop serving lunch. alt_frank at 2010-08-01 20:12:26 (no subject) fine, fine, I'm coming out. but if you laugh too hard, I'm going to have to punch you. alt_sirius at 2010-08-01 20:13:37 (no subject) Again? alt_frank at 2010-08-01 20:17:44 (no subject) I only punch someone who deserves it. not my fault that you're just really, really deserving. alt_sirius at 2010-08-01 20:22:39 (no subject) Wot? It's all about distraction. People here have their attention drawn to your knees, they're not going to look at that polyjuiced face. Besides, an Auror I know once told me that if he lets himself get too incapacitated on his mission, he deserves a ribbing. alt_frank at 2010-08-01 20:25:54 (no subject) I'm sure as hell not wearing any kilts in public. the tartan pants are bad enough. ...and point taken. it was worth it, though. they had stella on tap. alt_sirius at 2010-08-01 20:41:38 (no subject) Stella on tap - the import fees alone on that convince me that this town's got summat underhanded about it. It's no wonder they don't want MLE nosing in. Kingsley may have it right, after all. alt_alice at 2010-08-01 20:14:33 (no subject) Do us a favour, my dove, don't turn them all back. And don't punch him too hard. alt_frank at 2010-08-01 20:16:19 (no subject) fine. I'll keep one around for laughs. you do realise that the Longbottoms fought against the Scots, don't you? alt_alice at 2010-08-01 20:21:06 (no subject) I do. I'm sure we'll get some use out of it one way or another. alt_frank at 2010-08-01 20:21:50 (no subject) minx. alt_frank at 2010-08-01 20:22:25 (no subject) and I am not dancing any reel. ever. so don't even try. alt_sirius at 2010-08-01 20:23:33 (no subject) Caradoc would be happy to get you a pair of ghillies. alt_alice at 2010-08-01 20:11:10 (no subject) He does, doesn't he? Hm. That sort of thing is hard to suss out, especially if there are so many other stories and things floating around. And for all we know, if it even was him, he might be long gone by now. But it's still worth checking up on, I think. And you still haven't answered my question about the party, love. alt_sirius at 2010-08-01 20:16:15 (no subject) You might tell him that, he's no sense of humour at all this morning. It's true that we can't pass up the lead. Luckily we've brought along a champion tracker. Snuffles is always happy to follow the scent of trouble, no matter how ripe it might be. What was your question again? alt_alice at 2010-08-01 20:20:13 (no subject) The question of what exactly you were doing at Buckingham, my love. I'm not likely to forget it, either, even you are trying your best to make me think of Frank dancing a reel instead. alt_sirius at 2010-08-01 20:25:19 (no subject) Same thing I've been doing at Buckingham, Allie. Keeping an eye out. Gotta go - Frank's wand hand is twitching. alt_alice at 2010-08-01 20:28:05 (no subject) ...Fine. But don't think I'm anywhere near satisfied. If it's the other way round, and someone had his eye on you instead, we'd be better of knowing about it than not. alt_sirius at 2010-08-01 20:40:07 (no subject) Oh, but Allie, I'm used to every bloke having his eye on me! Though right now, I think it's more accurate to say they're all on Frank. Or at least his trousers. Wow. He really wasn't able to get the tartan to change. And the back still has some pleats.... alt_alice at 2010-08-01 20:49:44 (no subject) You would have made an excellent Quidditch player, love. Or a boxer. You're so very good at dodging. Go off Snape hunting, but don't think you've heard the last of this. 2010-08-01 19:57:00 (no subject) It was a lovely day. Mother proved, once again, that she is a superlative hostess. I'm so glad, after all, that she offered. I simply could not have come home from last night's celebrations alt_narcissa and turned round to put together tea today. And Rigel! What a darling. Naturally, he showed more interest in the boxes and wrappings than most of the gifts themselves. Though I thought his reaction to the toy Abraxan quite the spectacle, and quite telling. When it lit up, whinnied and flew round him, I thought the poor boy would ring down the rafters. I declare it's the first time I've ever heard him wail so. Luckily none of his other presents elicited a similar response. They do go through phases when they can be startled by loud or boistrous toys, after all. The cake, however - I'm still laughing. Oh, he may have never had cake before, Bella, but he certainly recognised right from the off that it was something he wanted. I'll be surprised to learn he's not up half the night from all the sugar.

  • Black Dogs Represent Evil, Having Derived from Odin’S Black Hound in Viking Mythology’
    Cave Canem by Chris Huff The Black Dog phenomenon remains an enduring connection to our ancient history. But many of the ‘facts’ we thought we knew about the phenomenon may not be true after all. Black Dog (henceforth BD) legends and folk tales are known from most counties of England, there are a few from Wales and one example that is known to the author, from the Isle of Man. There are many tales about these spectral animals. Few are alleged, in the popular sources, to bode well for the witness, and there has grown a misleading folklore around the phenomenon which is largely unsubstantiated by the scanty evidence. What exists is a collection of folk tales, spread across the length and breadth of Britain, about large spectral hounds, with black fur, large glowing eyes and perhaps an ethereal glow around them, which may explode, emit sulphurous breath, augur death and misfortune and produce poltergeist-like activity. At the outset I must take pains to point out that any recorded examples of BDs which may be a genuine haunting by a dog which happened to be black have (bar one at Ivelet in Swaledale) been screened out. The evidence presented below is not comprehensive but is believed to be a representative sample of the available recorded cases and thus may produce an insight into the phenomenon, or promote further in-depth study. Some common misconceptions or misrepresentations about the BDs include the following three statements: (1) It has frequently been claimed that the BDs are to be found in the Anglo-Saxon and Viking areas of Britain.

  • For Peer Review 19 20 Indeed, the Performative and Affective Potential of the Monster Is Something That Recent Human Geography Has 21 22 Interrogated
    cultural geographies On the s paces and movement of monsters: The itinerant Forcrossings Peer of Gef the Review talking mongoose Journal: cultural geographies Manuscript ID CGJ-14-0123.R2 Manuscript Type: Article Keywords: Monster, Monstrous geographies, Mobility, Supernatural, Isle of Man Geographical enquiries of the monster and the monstrous have increased in recent years. Through the accounting of a particular monster that emerged in the Isle of Man in the 1930s, I seek to contribute to these debates. The monster detailed in this paper underscores the argument that the power of the monster lies in both their proximity to familiar spatial and cultural codings, and their distance in the unfamiliarity they perform. However, I argue that the geographical accounts of the monster must focus their attention not only on their ambiguous status, but how they are Abstract: constituted through mobility and movement. It is the constant itinerancy in-between and in-the-between wherein the monster finds its disruption and potential. Furthermore, in exploring monstrous modes of mobility, I argue the monster is best understood as an itinerant crossing that is incessantly and continually emergent. I finish by reminding those interested in monstrous geographies that whilst these strange beings may act as sources of hope and potentiality, geographers must not lose sight of how the monster still has the capacity to warn and to bite. http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/culturalgeog Page 1 of 33 cultural geographies 1 1 2 3 On the spaces and movement of monsters: The Itinerant crossings of Gef the talking mongoose 4 5 6 7 8 Abstract 9 Geographical enquiries of the monster and the monstrous have increased in recent years.
