harry potter is walking into the forbidden forest.

his wand is in his pocket. jammed into his hand is the old golden snitch - his snitch, he’s earned that much. he can’t hear anything, just the crackle of wind blowing through the trees, the crunch of leaves and twigs beneath his feet, and the pounding of blood in his head. every step he takes seems to last a lifetime. every breath is a shuddering gasp. he can feel sweat and grime coating his face. behind him lies the castle - hogwarts, the place that used to be his home, crumbling and broken and littered with dust and ash and the bodies of the fallen. his friends have turned to soldiers, his teachers into generals, and he has become their leader just because someone, a long time ago, foretold that this was his destiny

this is the end.

he is seventeen years old. an adult, in the eyes of the ministry - a child in the eyes of the order, and the school, and every adult who has looked his way today with sad, wistful eyes. but he has been fighting this war ever since he was an infant, since the day that a monster came into his home and tore him out of that comfortable world he lived in. all through his life, he hasn’t known peace. what little family he has locked him away through all his childhood. he used to think that coming to hogwarts was a release, an escape - and it was, but still he remembers.

a boy stands before a mirror, framed with flames, the philosopher’s stone cool in his hand. he lies crumpled on the wet stone of the chamber of secrets, poison burning through his veins. he stands over his godfather as the dementors close in, gloom covering them like a shroud. he runs from the graveyard, from the monster reborn, taking the still-warm body of a boy he looked up to with him. he is held back by lupin as sirius’ body tumbles, crooked smile still on his face, backwards through the veil. he stands prone in the tower, unable to do anything but watch as dumbledore falls to the ground, the green light fading as he grows smaller.

there is no movement within the forest. all the creatures are hiding, no doubt - or at the castle, helping with the fight. just harry, his footsteps uneven, his breath misting in front of him. at least now there will be an end, he thinks. an end to the struggle, to the fighting. to the losses he has endured, to the pain and anger and misery, to the frustration of seeing it all happen around him and not being able to do anything.

maybe that’s a selfish thought. but he is doing this to save them all. to help them. he is allowed a little selfishness, here at the end of the line.

his snitch slips slightly from his hand. he takes it, holds it in front of him. i open at the close. a small smile slips onto his face, weary and lonely and sad.

harry potter is walking into the forbidden forest. he isn’t going to walk out of it again.

small and easy health tips that make a lot of difference

wash your face every night - washcloth, warm water, and a simple cleanser will do wonders. plus, warm water helps make you all sleepy for bed

take a multivitamin every day - and keep an eye open for coupons for them. usually multivitamins have some pretty great coupons

if you can, open the windows every once in a while. fresh air does a lot of good for your body (and state of mind)!

keep a few cleaning supplies in the bathroom. every so often after having a shower, give things a quick wipe-down. the steam from the shower dislodges any sink guck, making the job much easier - and never underestimate the power of a clean bathroom for both physical and mental health

keep a water bottle by the bed and drink some water when you wake up. it’ll help you greet the day a little easier, and plus - whose mouth ISN’T as dry as the sahara when they wake up?

it’s not always easy, but try to make doing dishes before turning in for the night a habit. i can’t express how lovely it is to wake up and walk into a clean and tidy kitchen

keep snacks in the fridge that are delicious and healthy - my faves are strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and grapes. i love snacks. plus, there’s not really much prep involved with those kinds of things

sweep! sweeping takes up a bit more physical energy, but it’s become one of my favourite things to do. i put on some nice music and visualize sweeping out not only dirt, but anything else clouding up my space - negative energy, self doubt, etc. it’s a nice, witchy little ritual for me now.

light a candle, specifically one that smells delicious

identify the things that make you feel better about yourself and your surroundings and prioritize them and only them when you’re feeling sucky. that way, you still feel accomplished, but you aren’t using up all your mental and physical energy trying to run through all your tasks/cleaning/etc

remember that you’re doing these things for you, and not anyone else. you deserve to feel happy and at ease!

The Ultimate Guide to Circular Gallifreyan in All of Time and Space

Introduction

Gallifreyan, is the language used by the Time Lords of Gallifrey. It is (allegedly) a fictional language used in the BBC TV show Doctor Who.

There are three known forms of written Gallifreyan; Old High Gallifreyan, Modern Gallifreyan and Circular Gallifreyan.

Old High Gallifreyan, the original ancient language of the Time Lords, was declared by the 11th Doctor to possess the power to “raise empires and destroy gods”. But by the Doctor’s era, it fell in disuse and was known only to very few. Modern Gallifreyan, an evolved form of Old High Gallifreyan was common at the time of the Doctor.

By the end of the last great Time War, Gallifreyan could be written using a complex system of interlocking circles, hexagons and connecting lines. This form of Gallifreyan is known as Circular Gallifreyan.

Circular Gallifreyan is a language closely linked to the TARDIS. The TARDIS contains a translation matrix, giving it the ability to adapt to every other language, at least for those of us who aren’t Time Lords. In Muggle terms, Circular Gallifreyan is more of a cipher or code than an actual language. It can be used to write any language that can be translated to the same script as English. Since 2005 this version of Gallifreyan is used very commonly on the Dr Who TV show.

Guide to Circular Gallifreyan

Step 1) Learn the Basic Alphabet

Getting familiar with the basic alphabet is incredibly helpful

I recommend memorizing the individual alphabets because it makes the reading and writing process much faster, but if you don’t want to do that, then you can use the chart below for reference to the consonants.

In circular Gallifreyan, there is no version of ‘C’. When there is a ‘C’ in a word, you replace it with either ‘K’ or ‘CH’ depending on whichever sounds closer to it.

Some people write a version of ‘C’ that looks like ’D’ but with 4 dots. But that version is rather confusing because that can have different interpretations, so I prefer to stick to the ‘K’ method.

Step 2) Vowels in Relation to Consonants

Vowels are generally attached to the consonants directly before them. In which case they will be placed “in relation to the consonants” as seen in the chart below.

Vowels can also be put separately if there is no consonant before them, or if that is more convenient. In such a case, they are placed as seen in the alphabet chart. (see step 1)

Step 3) Reading and Writing Simple Individual Words

Circular Gallifreyan is written and read anti-clockwise starting from the central bottom part of the circle.

Things to Keep in Mind :-

1) When you are writing the words, make small markings for the lines and dots you need for the alphabets and join them later. This way you can visualize the whole word. The lines can be drawn in any direction, what is important about them is their number.

2) When writing words with double letters, like Gallifrey that has 2 L’s, make a smaller circle within the bigger one. Similarly, 2 T’s and all the other alphabets can be doubled by making a smaller version of themselves within the original letter. Examples :-

Step 4) Grouped Words

In Gallifreyan, words in a sentence are grouped together, making the individual word circles form a larger circle. This is done by putting the individual circles in an anti-clockwise pattern.

When reading Gallifreyan sentences, start at the lowest part of the circle at the bottom of the main circle and read it anticlockwise. Then do the same for all the other circles in the main circle, going in an anticlockwise direction.

Examples :-

Eventually, with practice, you should be able to read and write extensive passages in circular Gallifreyan

Examples :-

(Examples above are - ‘Love the running’ and ‘bad wolf’)

Step 5) Punctuation

In order to read and write large sentences in their proper grammatical context, the following system of punctuation is used in Circular Gallifreyan.

The punctuation of a sentence can be done by placing the necessary punctuation next to the pertaining word circle or by placing it in the outer circle of the word.

Step 6) Number System

There are many systems for writing numbers in Gallifreyan. There is even an entire system of doing advanced mathematics! But, since the last time I saw my mathematics book I stabbed it with a knife, killing it like the horcrux it is, I’ll stick to the two most basic methods.

I personally prefer the second method, because it’s much easier to use for really large numbers, like if you’re writing the date (or star date). But, method 1 is the one that is seen used in Doctor Who. The second version is more like using roman numerals, to an extent.

Step 7) (optional) Decoration

Circular Gallifreyan has a beautiful script, so it will look good whether you write it free hand or elaborately with a compass. If you do want to make it more decorative, then there are various things you can do:-

• Draw an extra outer circle

• Indent the inner circle

• Join the lines of the different circles together

• Change the thickness of certain circles in bigger phrases

Step 8) Test Yourself
