"So we found our way back home, let our cuts and bruises heal, while a brand-new war began, one that no one else could feel." Annalise Ollivander, 20 years old, Ravenclaw Alumni.

—  ❝Thanks, It’s finnish, my parents really liked it and It didn’t really look that foreign in Norway. Are you from here? As in british I mean.❞

Oh, you’re from Norway? How did you end up in Britian then? Yes, I am, born and raised in London.

[annaliseollivander]

aliskahjort:

—  ❝Yeah, didn’t have the pleasure to meet you before. Aliska Hjort, Slytherin, repeating sixth year.❞

Your name sounds so pretty, Aliska. Is it foreign?

rosaenberg:

❛ Oh, I hope so. I’m definitely dyeing mine blue during the holidays. I wonder if that breaks dress code or something? ❜

❛ Just kidding. But you’re welcome. ❜

I think the faculty gave up on the dress code after the first Metamorphomagus turned up at Hogwarts. So if they say anything, just say you can’t control your powers and they’ll leave you alone.

felixconway:

Is blonde the hair color of the stereotypical Slytherin? I didn’t get the memo.

Well, some people seem to think so. I don’t really get the reason either.

[annaliseollivander]

amelia-prescott:

Yes yes, I remember the shop. Hopefully when Hogsmeade is fixed up and McGonagall gives us the okay to return, I could visit–maybe even help?

Sure, I could always use a helping hand. Do you know anything about wands?

[annaliseollivander]

amelia-prescott:

Really? That’s interesting. What was your original color? Well–my mum used to say it was ‘cos of the great muggle war, World War 2 there was this group, the erm–Nazis or something like that, my dad jokingly used to say it was ‘cos of the Malfoy family.

Just an ordinary brown. I didn’t hate it, but I like my hair way better now. Yes, I’ve read about World War II, but it still doesn’t make much sense. And to be honest, the Malfoys are the only Slytherin family with this hair color that I can think of.

[annaliseollivander]

aliskahjort:

—  ❝Always glad to help, those stereotypes are just ridiculous. I mean, you’re not a Slytherin, are you?❞

No, no. So we haven’t met, I presume. Annalise Ollivander, Ravenclaw alumni.

aideveraux:

I dunno, maybe. Just never really been good at the subjects, anyway. 

Come on, there must be a subject you like.

[annaliseollivander]

elise-nott:

“Definitely worry about the stereotypes. They’re ridiculous, anyway. Not everyone is a Malfoy.” 

I know, but I wonder if it took just one family to create this one. There must have been other Slytherins with this hair color, not that it makes any more sense if that’s true.

[annaliseollivander]

rowvnbillasco:

I forgive you. Let’s move forward, alright?

Yes, yes, of course. How come you’re back at Hogwarts?

[annaliseollivander]

rosaenberg:

❛ Oh, damn. I wonder what the hair colors for other houses are? Maybe red hair for Gryffindor, since it matches the House colors? ❜

❛ For what it’s worth, I think your hair color looks great. ❜

Does that mean that all Ravenclaws should have blue hair? Because that would be cool, but I don’t see it happening any time soon.

Thank you- dyeing it was a big step for me so I’m glad it turned out nice.

“Someone asked me if I was related to a Weasley then proceeded to call me a blood traitor. Stereotypes are here to stay, unfortunately.”

If they paid more attention, they would know that I’m not a Slytherin and you’re not a Weasley. I think the problem is that people don’t care enough.

[annaliseollivander]

rowvnbillasco:

Anna– that’s in the past. We’re alive now, it’s okay. Whatever happened before doesn’t matter anymore.

I’m just saying- it wasn’t right on my part and you definitely deserved better than that. I’m glad I get the chance to say it out loud.

[annaliseollivander]

aliskahjort:

—  ❝Does that make all the old people Slytherin look-a-likes? Merlin’s beard, we’re going to have more alumnis than ever then.❞

I’ve never thought about it that way. Thank you for giving me an argument to use next time someone makes a comment like that.

[annaliseollivander]

cheesyfrazer:

Crazy. But it’s good, too. There’s always someone around, no matter what you might need. Of course, it’s impossible to have secrets with that many people, but I quite like that. Secrets can be damaging.

I’ve learnt to appreciate my privacy, but sometimes I feel so unlucky that I don’t have a sibling. It gets too lonely every now and then, I think.

[annaliseollivander]

amelia-prescott:

A little bit of both, but, for the record, the color is lovely on you. Besides, some Slytherins have dark hair. 

Thank you, truth is I got it on impulse when I was in Italy. I know, I never understood where that stereotype came from.

>> ❝ Fair enough. We should get out of here. Just for a little while. Get something from the kitchens? ❞

Yes, please. I’ve missed Hogwarts free food so much.
