You with the wide eyes, don't lose your courage

MacMillan here. Amelia MacMillan, Witch and DADA star. Okay, not star. Like, decently decent student who happens to be awesome. Okay not awesome. Not like... okay if i was a human version of food I would be peanut butter. Most people like that right?...

[bravelittlebadger]

Shoutout to Amelia MacMillan for making DADA seem cool!

I don’t understand? DADA is the coolest.

Have you ever had a crush on someone you shouldn't?

I’m pathologically incapable of having a crush on someone I should. If you know you shouldn’t like someone, you don’t offer yourself as an option and then your heart can’t get destroyed by rejection.

Becca: Does he talk? How on earth do you know all that about a big scary inky blob thing?

Becca: LIFELONG DECISION! Or at least until I'm 37. THERE'S NO HEART PROTECTING HAPPENING, LEO AND I ARE JUST FRIENDS! NOBODY THOUGHT IT MEANT THERE WAS A LOVE CONNECTION WHEN ZAC AND I MISTLETOE KISSED! Romcoms. I loved those once :-p

Amelia: Because animals have very specific behaviours when they're stressed. Maybe he has anxiety. He's stressed a lot of the time.

Amelia: REALLY?? FOREVER??? OKAY OKAY JUST CHECKING THAT WE WEREN'T IN A TERRIBLE ROMANTIC NOVEL. I JUST WANT TO GET MY GENRES STRAIGHT.

Isaac: I don't really think there is a need for you to start calling yourself stupid. But who knows. You're only young right? Still enough chances to become stupid. :) It's a start, I'll try to remember that once I walk up to some Russian Spie and tell them I'm going to join them.

Isaac: No I doubt I'd ever turn my back on my mother and my mom isn't mean. I doubt your parents are mean either?

Amelia: I hope you're so sure when your house starts laughing at my latest potions disaster. If I become stupid, I hope it's the hopelessly brave kind. Cool cool. Let me know how it goes. Maybe that can be my summer part-time job.

Amelia: Oh good. It always makes me furious when people have awful parents. Mine are protective but I know it's just because they love me.

Becca: OKAY WELL I WOULDN'T GO THAT FAR! THE GIANT SQUID IS /TERRIFYING/.

Becca: Sparks are good for people who want to fall in love, but I don't want to fall in love anymore! I have Kelsey, she's my platonic soulmate, I don't need something all complicated like romance in my life. I DON'T REMEMBER BUT IT WAS IMPLIED IN ME NOT WANTING HIM TO FALL IN LOVE WITH ME THAT I WASN'T GOING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM :p

Amelia: I like him! He likes sandwiches and he's just a overwhelmed a lot of the time I think.

Amelia: Is this a lifelong decision or just for right now kind of thing? BUT MAYBE YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO PROTECT HIS HEART AND YOUR HEART. I DON'T KNOW. ROMANTIC THINGS DON'T HAPPEN TO ME AND ROMCOMS MAKE ME HATE PEOPLE.

Isaac: I don't think sucking at potions relates to being capital S Stupid. That's what I'm going to do. I guess I'll take some online course in Russian then pretend I'm a russian and join the Wizard KGB

Isaac: If you would be good enough to start right away you can also be good enough to start after a few years.

Isaac: I could deal with my mom being mad, because then I just would leave and never turn back.... wait who am I kidding, nobody wants their own mom mad at them.

Amelia: I hope not, I've never considered myself stupid and I don't want to start now. I know that Da, means yes, and nyet, means no, and da sivednia means good bye. I watched the Anastasia movie.

Amelia: You WOULDN'T. You can't turn your back on your mum. Unless she's mean, and some people have mean parents but I hope you don't.

Okay it’s official, latkes and mince pies are the devil. I swear, between Christmas and Hanukkah it’s like my family wants me to get tubby. I’m so glad I’ve got Quidditch and duelling club to whip me back into shape. Seriously though, if anyone finds themselves in the same boat or working on their fitness happens to be their new years resolution, you should look into joining one of those or maybe starting up a casual club for a different sport, *cough* football *cough*. 

Um... agree to disagree on your use of the word tubby? 

I don’t know what football club is, but it sounds fun and I would be interested.

If you’re going to even think about trying to disrupt the comfort of this common room, I would highly suggest you re-think that idea. It’s my fourth day without caffeine and I will not be playing Miss Nice Prefect.

Okay... but I really need to practice my charms... so... can I give you ear plugs? I would be happy to give you ear plugs.

duncanwhitby:

It’s only a week into the new year and I’m already walking away from my resolution to be online less. It’s too hard and I can’t do it anymore. Anyone want to fill me in on what I’ve missed? Or gloat about how your resolutions are going better than mine? I promise I’ll be properly impressed. 

You really didn’t miss much at all. The internet kept internetting as per usual. Um... I haven’t failed any of my resolutions but I also haven’t exactly started any of them.

Stephanie: Laps around the lake tomorrow. As many as your can without throwing up. I don't care that it's Sunday.

Amelia: Do I get bonus points for being almost the last one standing?

So today, I’ve decided that next year I’m not going home for the holidays, because I actually physically bumped into a wall today, and I don’t understand why. I mean, I’ve been going to this school for how long? 

I hope those that saw it though at least had a good laugh. 

Did the wall move? I think you should blame the wall and not deprive yourself of going home for the holidays.

davidanddragons:

Exactly what I’m afraid of. Cause the last thing I need, really, is to make mom mad. And I would’ve loved to! But unfortunately, they don’t last past Christmas for the most part. I can totally stash away some empanadas though. Because gotta say, I’m all for trying out these brownies of yours. And of course I don’t mind! The more the merrier, right?

Oh please don’t, Mums are terrifying and shouldn’t be tampered with. That’s all right. Empanadas are great! That’s what i was thinking too, but I wanted to check because some people are introverts and stuff.

10/10 would totally recommend. Plus, the best things in life always come at unexpected times so it’s best to not plan and let life take it’s course on that. I wouldn’t go as far as to call it my favorite but I definitely think they’re cute! I once tried to steal one from a pet store but papa caught me and made me take it back.

I’m passionate about many things and I don’t hate school either - even if some teachers can be a bit on the dull side. It’s more about needing an incentive to want to do better since I’ve always been told to do my best. So I do it naturally. If that makes sense.

That seems to be the consensus lately, and who am I to mess with what is obviously working out fine. You tried to steal one? I hope it didn’t hurt you with it’s spikes. That’s very cute though. 

That does. I mean- it makes sense. It’s weird. Not you, or anything, just like... the things that work for people.

Sadly, I don’t actually make cat videos all that often. But, luckily for you, there’s an infinite amount of them everywhere on the internet anyway.

Oh Boo. You’re right though, I guess I can get my adorable kitten fix elsewhere. Just thought I had a proper supplier.

olstarhopkins:

I AM SO ON BOARD! I’m not good at reading for myself but I looooove reading outloud. Do you do the voices when you read outloud or do you just monotone it all? Babies are the most divaish, honestly, but isn’t there also a study that says talking to babies helps them grow better? Or is that plants??

We should implement a fourth year reading squad. I like reading aloud way more too, it helps me focus. I do some voices, like I change the pitch of my voice a bit but I don’t do crazy voices because then I start giggling and it’s just a mess. I feel like it’s never a bad idea to talk to babies... you’d have to ask Emma about the plants.

isaacfawcett:

Good you’d let me know because there is no way I would stay around for that. Just tell your parents you want more freedom. They might allow you to go to like Dublin on your own or something like that. That’s still close but not as scary for parents as a destination like Gabon or Laos.

I mean, I feel like it would only be fair for me to cover you at that point. It’s not nice to let one’s parents murder one’s friends. See that’s easy for you to say. You know what it’s like to be free, your mom encouraged it. My parents have very real reasons for wanting me to stay safe and at home. Maybe if I go with a friend they would. I could ask. Maybe for my birthday.
