On this fine weekend Slytherin will play in our first quidditch match. Sadly, I will only be able to attend in spirit. I'm sure those snakes will sweep the floor tomorrow!
Yep, I'm gonna show it off some more ;)
1. Please describe the physical appearance of a house elf.
House elves are small creatures with relatively large heads, large bat-like ears, large round eyes and often a distinctive nose
2. Kreacher is the house elf of which wizarding family?
Kreacher is the house elf of the Black family. He is rather important later in the series...
3. What is Hermione Granger making for the house elves?
Hermione knits primarily hats for the house elves. I am not sure if she also makes scarves and socks or if I am merely projecting that ;)
4. How do you free a house elf?
House elves are freed when their master presents them with an article of clothing. The nicer the clothing, the more offensive the freedom (or dismissal) is.
5. What does S.P.E.W. stand for?
Society for the Promotion of Elfin Welfare
First off, I must apologize to my housemates. I have not done my homework...though I do have a transfiguration that wasn't listed....Ready...
So, needless to say I've been distracted with non-hogwarts related things this week. Though, I think this does prove something...I am definitely a Slytherin ;)
So I am supposed to give a detailed explanation of how I chose my three characters. Here goes, and remember this is a literal re-enactment… thinking to self while signing up for HSKS 10 hum, let’s see, who did I want. I like the Slytherin men, so that’d be Draco, Snape….oh Rita Skeeter, that could be fun! Let’s go Skeeter, Umbridge, and Trelawny! end of re-enactment So my initial thought was dark deep toned stuff, then I saw Rita Skeeter’s name and pictured her jeweled glasses and outrageously colored outfits! I couldn’t resist. Plus she seems like the kinda of girl that would wear deep rich tones with some bright pink (Umbridge) or purples added in. Did you catch how Umbridge worked into it? Good, that’s all for her. Then Trelawny…so last night I attended a muggle meeting of knitters (I’m in Slytherin, yes we sneak out a lot) and was showing off some of my finished lace shawls. I wore all three at once. Doesn’t that sound like Trelawny? Shrouded in lacy, filmy shawls. When I really don’t want to go to a class, I always put on a lovely lace something and wrap myself in it. Knowing how great I look, and how nice it feels, I can’t help but feel a little better about going to class. Really, my choice was made on a whim, thinking of deep rich jeweled tones (one crazy character) and the lovely lacys that I love to wrap myself in.
