Hello! My name is Elliott, and I look forward to meeting all of you! In a couple of days, I'll be taking the train to Hogwarts and I'll finally be away from the muggle world! I already have a friend. Her name is Ivy and she's super nice! I reckon I find more friends there too.
(edit: my house is Ravenclaw for some reason)
But here's a little bit about myself
I was born on October 9th, of 1996, and I have a sister, Lilli. She's three years younger than me but a lot more confident. Sure, I care about her, but I'll be glad to get away from her for a while!
My favourite animals are giant turtles and bonobos. Giant turtles because they're so interesting and bonobos have been nicer to me at the zoo than any of my classmates.
My concert was actually super fun. We got sweet treats and everything, and the applause was even louder than last time!
However, the Warringtons couldn’t make it, and for some reason, Cassandra was there. I can’t actually remember if Cassandra was there last time or not, but I think she was.
I’m just trying to find a place to hide my treats so Lilli doesn’t get to them. SHE LITERALLY GOT HER OWN BAG WHAT MORE DOES SHE WANT?!
She’s like Princess Mononoke in a way. (My cat, not the character)
There was a thunderstorm last night and not only was Telemachus really scared, a utility pole fell on the highway and the power went out.
My house wasn’t as affected by it because we have a generator in our backyard, but that also means the Pages are staying with us until their landlord fixes the power.
I have no idea how long this usually lasts, so @night-in-star-light or @stormydraws, help
If you think about it, burgers evolved from meatballs.
Meatballs were made with ground meat, and one day, someone from Hamburg, Germany made it into a slab, which made the Hamburg steak.
The Hamburg steak then went on over to the United States, where someone decided to put it in between two pieces of bread, and then bedazzled it up with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.
So yeah, that restaurant Dad brought me and Lilli to was great.
The director told us that the date for the concert itself was the 6th of August. When I asked her why, she told me that everyone is tired after Monday and she wanted the concert to be fun for everyone.
Well, I’m not complaining because that means more singing for me!
(@stormydraws, I beat the Rock gym master by the way)
I’ve been forgetting to post a lot since I have a life, but my synagogue isn’t doing any traditional songs this year. They gave us sheet music for Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Shady Grove, and it’s really, really, fun.
last night, there was a hole in the corner that showed up and alisons arm streched out to reach me, and when i touched it, I started flying really high in a rainbow world
Do any of you have least favourite school subjects?
My choirmates were discussing school the other day, and even though im Hogwarts, we are required to learn Muggle subjects, I still feel a bit left out.
Not because of Hogwarts or anything, but because I have no least favourite school subject when it comes to Muggles. The textbook makes it easy for me to understand my homework assignments, and we're never told what is what for History of Magic!
This year honestly felt more uneventful than the last. I'll still be joining the Summer Choir again, and I still have this week to go.
@stormydraws, I'll probably talk to you more often.
I'll be taking Muggle Studies next year, solely because Bella and Rosalie told me it's really funny. Speaking of which, we got to watch How to Train Your Dragon in History of Magic, and it was a really good movie. Professor Gorski couldn't think of any assignments to do, so he let us watch it.
However, I have a summer assignment to do for Muggle Studies about video game consoles. If you want any context, then tell me.
I’ve been playing Pokemon FireRed more often and I have this Bulbasaur.
I named her Honey, and I wanted to ask you what can and can’t she fight?
I know that fire beats grass, grass beats water, and water beats fire, but I don’t know what else is super effective or not as effective on her because I don’t want her to get knocked out as often in battle.
I have a Caterpie and a Pidgey alongside Honey. Can’t figure out the names for them.
Also, who’s Sylveon?

hi Elliott! Glad to see you're having fun with FireRed (playing Crystal myself, got past Falkner)
Okay, so Honey is a Bulbasaur, which is a grass/poison type. Grass types are weak against fire, flying, bug, poison, and ice type pokemon and poison types are weak against psychic and ground types. With Honey, her combined typings makes poison, bug, and ground type attacks neutral, so Honey's weaknesses come out as fire, flying, psychic, and ice types.
And the reason why the bug weakness is now neutral for Honey is that poison resists bug, as well as itself and fighting (for some reason). Oh, and grass resists itself, water, electric, and ground. Basically Honey is the best starter of Kanto because of the first three gyms either being weak to or being resisted against by just her grass typing.
When it comes to the types that grass and poison types are strongest against, grass types are of course super effective against water types, but they also do well against rock and ground types, and poisons do well against grass types... yeah, the poison type is really underwhelming when you think about it.
Oh and uh, Sylveon? Just a cute ribbon fox thing colored like a trans flag
Anyways thanks for giving me a chance to ramble, Elliott, hope you have fun on your journey through Kanto ^v^
It’s know it’s been a while since I’ve been active, and that’s because of what happened in that doorway.
Once we came through, we found paintings. Paintings of a house Lottie used to stay at during the summer, and the nature there. Lottie later told me that the house was sold when her father disappeared.
Speaking of which, Lottie saw her father’s butterfly and followed it to a mirror that only reflected her, which had a vial of pure red. Not wine or blood or anything, just red. She was also the only one who could pass through.
We didn’t have time to do anything because a Dark Wizard came behind us, as Princess Mononoke pointed out by getting angry. He grabbed Lottie and dragged her to the other side.
Thank the universe for Gossamer, who came by to help us on a very pretty horse. He gave us a clue about found family (It’s been a while, ok?) and we were able to pass through and get to Lottie.
The dark wizard turned out to be the lemur. I know I pieced it together, but I feel like I wasn’t clear enough. Like I said, it’s been a while.
He threatened to kill her to our faces, so she had to open what turned out to be the artefact. It was Daniel who made the first move, but he hit Lottie by accident and everything escalated. We got into a fight, and while I was holding Princess Mononoke to make sure she didn’t get hurt, she literally launched herself at Bly, tipped me over, and scratched him until he threw her off.
Thank GOD she wasn’t hurt. He couldn’t get up, and if memory serves, it was probably because there was blood in his eyes. Then Lottie pointed the wand inside the artefact at him and told him off. I don’t remember any of it except for, I think, “It’s a shame you don’t see the other hues.”
Also the wand/artefact I mentioned was a Turner family heirloom which was actually a brush. Afterwards, we just left him there for the Ministry to take care of him.
We’re all scuffed. I haven’t had time to be on my phone at all. I just wanted to be there for Lottie, focus on class, and run some errands.
We also had a funeral for Mr. Turner a few days after the ordeal. Lottie invited me to talk, and I had no idea what to say without bringing up Alison, and I didn’t know Mr. Turner. All I know is that he meant a lot to her, and I got to hug her.
Cassandra also apologised. Winnie brought her to the funeral to apologise to Lottie for calling her a crybaby. No, Cassandra was not invited, but Winnie encouraged her to say sorry.
I’m sorry for going on and on. I just finally have free time for once.
We went to confront Professor Gorski in his office, and for some reason, Princess Mononoke went with me.
Then he told us to our faces that he knew where we were going, and that we needed to run. Then the suits of armour came to life and the Headmistress saved us.
At least I was right about the lemur. Princess Mononoke scratched him and actual stuffing came out. Wait, should I say that she was right?
Anyways, McGonagall ordered us all back to our dorms, but Lottie led us to the paintings, where we had to rearrange them to make a clear picture, or map.
That's when Lottie saw her father's butterfly, and the railings near the flower painting turned into stairs.
Before we could go through, we got caught. We're sneaking out again later this night. So how's everyone doing so far?
Daniel's busy, Winnie's asleep, Ivy needs to lie down a bit, and Robyn and Kevin are in Madam Pomfrey's because Kevin read a cursed book and I accidentally set him on fire. Lottie's finding clues and I already had a picnic with her.
So, I've been scrolling and decided to let people ask me stuff. Just, don't be inappropriate.
