Journal Moment:

This Halloween was crazy! I dealt with Erin Condren all day and they are giving me what they told me they were going to give me. I worked. The girls got to go trick and treating in the park and in the office. Luna got to go as Jessie... Not the Jessie she wanted to be however. We rushed to North Carolina as soon as we could from Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party to beat the snow moving in. Seriously... Snow on Halloween. A white Holiday..

Fremione Again But Maybe Harmione

When I wrote #Fremione I just begun on my journey through the world of Fremione. Now a month later when that's really all I have done I have realized how even more perfect of a set up that would have been.

I know so many people don't agree me. First, there are the delusional  people that think Ron and Hermione would actually work. Seriously? I am one against domestic abuse. That is what this would be I wouldn't completely say that it would physical but think about the mental anguish he caused her. Dramione group. I kind of can see this especially after the war. The ones that think it could have happened before are pushing it. J.K. Rowlings herself said that she wished she would have put Harry with Hermione.

Now, that's a theory, beside Fremione, that I am on board with more so than the rest. Harry and Hermione were easily the better choice than Ron and Hermione. Ron would seriously do nothing but let his temper flare and his lack of belief shine in their relationship. Even in the epilogue he undermines her without showing remorse for it.


“I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment. That’s how it was conceived, really. For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron. I know, I’m sorry. But if I’m absolutely honest, distance has given me perspective on that. It was a choice I made for very personal reasons, not for reasons of credibility.” - JKR
The queen herself sees it. I kind of wish she had of killed off Ron in the fifth book. He is the character I feel least drawn too and least concerned about during both the books and movies. I didn't even feel bad when Ron was having his nightmare come true in front of him about Hermione and Harry being together because in my heart that is what I wanted.

People constantly talk about how Hermione is his trophy because he is the hero's best friend. TROPHY?!? Excuse me? Hermione deserves better than that. She deserves someone who actually values her opinion not someone trying to please by asking her opinion.

Fred Weasley and Harry Potter both value Hermione's opinion.

Hermione: "You know, that really is extraordinary magic!"
Fred: "For that, Hermione, you can have one for free."
And

Harry: “You're brilliant, Hermione. Truly.”  

Where many people would like to see their next genreration. I am against that. 1. I would have to watch George's kid and not Fred's. 2. That thing called Ron and Hermione would be there.... Or maybe not if they got a divorce! 3. What would be a bad force?

No I prefer James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter's stories. I would also love the founder of Hogwarts story. All of that those would be so much more magical to me.

 I must say that Fremione is dear to me because Hermione needed some fun in her life. She needed it more than anyone. She was always the stout one.

When people say Ron is real life and not fiction. It saddens me to think people have accepted an abusive relationship as real life. Why not rise above standards and find someone who is your other half? The one that can learn from your knowledge and use it. But all while still making you relax and unwind instead of being so tense.

Fred would be that for Hermione. I am a lover of Peter Pan, the real story not Disney's but I am a fan of that too. I personally love to think of Fred and Hermione like Peter Pan and Wendy...

The boy who would never grow up and the girl who had t to be grown up. It fits so well for them. Though I must also admit I am a huge fan of this FanFiction, Tink, by aForgottenWeasley. Some of her stories really change up what happened in the books but it's so well written that honestly I have to really remember what happened in the books versus what goes on in her stories. It's truly fascinating. Her other story I recommend reading is Howling... I felt so intense about this story that I contacted the author via Twitter to tell her how amazing it was!

Another point that I have is that J.K. Rowlings could have had an unique love twist to the Deathly Hallows. Fred worried about Hermione going off with two guys gets mad that she does and he doesn't even get to tell her goodbye before she runs off. She is off having an adventure and he is stuck doing Potterwatch and being concerned.

Imagine the concern and hatred Fred feels about her being tortured by Bellatrix. Knowing the pain of something being carved into your skin from his detentions with Umbridge. He would have felt so strongly about that it would have made him sick. And Hermione could have saved Fred even though it would have resulted in Ron's death.

I know, I know I am evil to those who like Romione or Dramione. But I have just a strong love for my One True Pair as you do.

Deathly Hallow Love

Harry Potter Gif Deathly Hallow Gif


My relationship with Vincent Mallone can easily described as all three Deathly Hallows. Strange I know. But hey that's us. We are that weird couple that people find intriguing because our story is not a normally at all.

At various times in our lives Vin and I have crossed paths. Why didn't we get together then? Well I like that to call that our Elder Wand time period. We both wanted to find our own ways. Would we have gotten along? Of course, but we wouldn't have lasted because we weren't ready for each other. When you are young proving yourself has a tendency to get in the way of destiny at times.

Also with the Elder Wand we have that power over others together that is interesting. We work together to pull the leverage of conversations. We are a dangerous couple together. We both have smarts and wits. We are both very athletic.

However, I do like to think that unlike the Elder Wand we stop each other from seeking so much power that "death" overtakes us. Dueling with too much can be very battering on the individual and the soul. We keep a good checks and balance on each other.

How are we like the Resurrection stone? Well let's jump back into the past around May 2002... Yes 2002. Six years before we would meet face to face at his apartment. We met in Disney World on a field trip. Somehow realizing that I first met him in Disney World shows me just how meant to be we were.

Another way we are like the Resurrection Stone is that we don't mind taking strolls down memory lane. We stroll through the memories with and without each other making us learn and explore each other more intensely each time. We do remind each other not to dwell too much on the pass and move on because the past was a gift of that time.

And finally the way we are like the cloak of invisibility. This one is really too easy and very cliche. We forget that we have people around us at times. I can get lost in his eyes and in his kisses. I never realized just how looking into someone's eyes could make me forget that I am only wearing half a face of make up.

The last way we are like the Deathly Hallows is that we have all of these things and there for we are the true conqueror of death. The weight the world can weigh down on us but we are there for each other and very prepared to battle. Because until the very end I will love him. And after that I will love because all will be well.

I'm So Hungry I Could Eat a Hippogriff: My Top 3 HP Foods

Most of the eating that took place in the Harry Potter series took place in the Great Hall.
It was lit by thousands and thousands of candles that were floating in midair over four long tables, where the rest of the students were sitting. These tables were laid with glittering golden plates and goblets...
Of course not all the eating and drinking took place in this room. Because on my list of favorite foods one these items cannot be found in the Great Hall. I can honestly say that I have tried most of the food offered at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at both Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. That means I am giving you my honest take on the food.

Butterbeer 

Unlike the books, our version in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter does not have alcohol in it. Now there are plenty of recipes on Pinterest where you can make your own and add alcohol to it. I love the butterscotch flavoring. I prefer the unfrozen to the frozen you can get at certain vendor. I find butterbeer delicious. It's a real unique drink.


Chocolate Frogs

I do enjoy chocolate frogs a little too much. I just love getting the fun shaped box and the amazing famous witch or wizard card. And yes the picture does "move."

The Frog is NOT hallow. That gigantic thing is solid chocolate!





Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans

With flavours ranging from cherry and cinnamon to earwax and vomit you never really know what to expect what you are going to eat if you do it the fun way. My dad was chicken and seriously tried going by the piece of paper in the box. Yeah didn't work out too well for him. I can honestly say that vomit was easier to digest than the sausage one. The dirt one and the grass one was a little too close to the real thing for me. And soap? WOAH bad memories of saying bad words come rushing back to my head when eating one of those.

Harry Potter Game


I am not going to post pictures except on a few of them. Plus, I am going to answer all of these right now.

1. My house on Pottermore is actually Slytherin. I am not ashamed of that in any form. Because what Ron said isn't true. "There's not witch or wizard who went bad that wasn't in Slytherin." Um Wormtail anyone?

2. I have gotten the results of a dolphin many many times. I'm not exactly sure what that means.

3. My boggart would be very similar to Hermione's but mine would be failure to friends and family.

4. My favorite Quidditch position is a beater. I just find it amazing. You can get killed easily.

5. Magical creature I love? House elves! I just find that fascinating.

6. My favorite HP character? Fred or Hermione. They are both very close to my heart.

7. I would say the character that I am most like is McGonagall.

8. Fred or Olliver, either one would be my HP crush.

9. My favorite spell is Accio. I could sooo use it all the time.

10. My favorite Hogwarts professor is Snape.

11. I would say that the class that I would enjoy the most would be Charms!

12. My favorite shop in Diagon Alley would be Flourish and Blotts.

13. My favorite ship.... FREMIONE!!!

14. After rereading them my favorite book is Order of Phoenix!

15. My favorite movie is the Goblet of Fire!

16. My least favorite book is still Chamber of Secrets.

17. My least favorite movies is the same. The chamber of Secrets' basilisk was super boring.

18. Um Fred didn't die so the second one was Dobby.

19. U NO POO! is the funniest part.

20. The cloak is the Hallows I would choose and the second one is the Elder wand.

21. I actually have my wand from Pottermore.



22. My wizard occupation? I would have to I would probably still be a teacher.

23. My Yule Ball outfit


I would add some earrings but that's about it.


24. I know we're not in Professor Flitwick's class but you are still charming. This is a favorite of mine. 

25. The place I would spend the most time at Hogwarts would be the common room probably. Though I would love to spend some time just roaming the halls.

26. The HP actor or actress I most like to meet from the movies is Emma Watson. Well that's my answer now.

27. I have tried a lot of wizard food at this point but I still want to try firewhiskey.

28. I have most of the HP items I would like to own. And if I don't have it. My Fiance does.

29. 

My favorite quote.
