100% Reason to Remember the Name

The name's Ian O'Connell. I'm a Dublin native currently in my final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I know I have a Prefect's badge, but don't mistake me for being uptight. I'm a pretty nice guy all around. I like Exploding Snap, kicking back with some butterbeer, and hanging out with my mates. Got something to say? Feel free, I don't bite. ♠ ♣

So, after a recent conversation with our friendly neighbourhood Triwizard Tournament Champion and Ministry Sell-out, I thought that I should start a little exercise … group, thing. We’ll figure out semantics later but I figured that working out’s a lot more fun with friends, you know, pushing each other on and keeping each other from giving up. I was thinking whoever’s interested could join me late afternoon, Saturday? Just before the sun starts to go down, so the weather would be cooler - not that it actually gets any sort of hot out here in Scotland - and then we’ll do some cardio and statics and all that science-y fitness terms I won’t bore you with. Who’s in?

[prefectoconnell]

What about working for the Ministry is “selling-out”? I think the gist of that robotic babble was that you're starting a fitness group. Sorry to say but I don’t really want to be a part of any fitness group you’re leading. Your arms are twigs and your torso lacks definition.

Okay, I found a dissected coconut under my pillow this morning. Nice prank, cheers. Now which one of you did it? I have to murder you, I mean, congratulate you.

[prefectoconnell]

Maybe it’s not a prank at all? Sounds like one of your roommates was eating coconut and just left the trash on your bed.

I am having the hardest time being motivated to do homework. Sitting in the Common Room and reading a good book and Quidditch seem so much more appealing. 

[prefectoconnell]

Which homework are you shirking? I might be able to come up with a surefire study method.

[truecrypt]

Ian… shut up. Nothing went wrong and nothing will go wrong if I’m the one brewing. I rarely brew potions incorrectly.

[prefectoconnell]

Rarely, but it happens. And I can’t risk the well-being of students if it happens, that’ll be 25 points from Slytherin.

[justme--alice]

No, unfortunately he did not. I assume he keeps those little bouts of fun to himself or his peers. 

[prefectoconnell]

That’s a shame, it’d really make my day to see Dr. Banner belt out Don’t Stop Believin’ or something. Which professors do you think are secretly karaoke fiends?

[graciesgotwood]

Ugh, can’t we just like… skip this assignment? I already had to figure out how to scrape by and get these done last year, I’m not really in a hurry to do it again when I’m just starting to learn conjuring instead.

[prefectoconnell]

You can try to skip but Professor Darkholme scares me a bit too much for me to ignore her homework. I could get turned into a ferret and never heard from again. Maybe pair up with someone brainy like Rose? Then she might take on most of the work.

[becclawtheraven]

I’ve actually thought about how interesting it would be if a real witch or wizard ever tried to put on a show of magic tricks, because you’re right, they could actually vanish white rabbits, instead of just whatever illusion they normally perform. I’ve been told before I could be a great magician’s apprentice, though, if you’re still searching for one. If not I’m sure I could beg Lucy or Lydia to impart some of their knowledge on me.

[prefectoconnell]

Yeah, I’d totally do it to make some extra money during breaks except I haven’t been able to figure out whether or not it’s technically against the Secrecy Statute? Either way, your boyfriend beat you to the assistantship. I think he’s even going to dress up in a sparkly dress. I think Ariana snagged me for the actual assignment too, but both of those ladies sound like they’d up with better marks than I would anyways.

[oliverhopkins]

Would I get to wear a dress?

[prefectoconnell]

If that’s a personal choice you’d like to make, I’ll okay it.

[tinytimbuchanan-deactivated2016]

Delusional oldies are adorable.

[prefectoconnell]

You’re right, so you couldn’t pass for one after all.

fuck marry kill: oscar bradley ian

fuck; Bradley. I just can’t see him as someone to put up with my nonsense enough to marry me so, eh.

marry; Oscar because he at least tolerates me and my babbles! Anyone that can handle my unicorn babbles is aces. And he always has such nice stuff to talk about so totally an O+ choice.

kill; @prefectoconnell… is this the part where I start singing that one line in that Justin Bieber song?????

SLEEPOVER SATURDAY

[prefectoconnell]

Well, that’s a kick in the teeth. I don’t know which Bieber song you’re talking about though. I’m only aware of the one that goes “I’mma tell you one time” or something along those lines.

Who do you think this year's Valentine's royalty should be?

D&D: Me and @slytherinpucey. My fave @cassiedursley and @huffinonthatleo would make killer runner-ups though.P&P: @venomousari and @slytherinjake have my votes locked down.K&Q: I guess I wouldn’t be opposed to voting @franpuffle and @prefectoconnell in.

[prefectoconnell]

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Flint, but I’d rather not be king.

[truecrypt]

Pair up with Zac or Myron and make them disappear! Forever!

[prefectoconnell]

I’d actually love to make Myron disappear, but I think they might expell me. And it’s a bit close to graduation for that. Maybe you could work on that side project?

[dramaticpoint-deactivated201907]

…. When you ask it like that I feel slightly creeped out, but also kind of excited. How are you doing that? Is there something that I should know? 

[prefectoconnell]

I promise that there’s nothing to be creeped out about, I’d never leave the bunny disappeared permanently. Was it the winking? Did that make it seem a bit off?

[venomousari-blog]

I wouldn’t mind helping you out if its still needed, although the way you said it makes it sound a little suspicious.

[prefectoconnell]

What in Merlin’s name is suspicious about loving Muggle magic? You just haven’t been exposed to enough of it clearly. I’d love the help though, thanks.

[prefectoconnell]

Would you rather find true love or ten million Galleons?

The galleons. I have love, from my family at least. And I know raising all of us rugrats hasn’t been easy on my parents, it’d be nice to be able to make it so they never have to worry about the money thing again.

NEW YEAR MEAN TROLL NEED NEW MOMMY 2! WHO REPLACE KITTY AS MOMMY 2?

@franpuffle seems like she’d be the type to take care of you. Either that or @cassiedursley, she always seems to be making sweets for those goodie bags of hers. I imagine she could make some extra for you.

[prefectoconnell]

Who do you think this year's Valentine's royalty should be?

Duke and Duchess: I would love to see @emmaiscoote take home the crown, I think she’s an exemplary Gryffindor. And maybe @huffinonthatleo? He seems to get into the least trouble out of the fifth years.

Prince and Princess: I don’t think it would surprise anyone if @lily--potter got royalty for the second year in a row, but I’m rooting for @sammyambercrombie to scare of all the competition Regina George style. And maybe @hufflehugo for her prince.

King and Queen: I think it’ll come down to my girl, @ana-reya, and @fieryxrose but I’m happy with whoever wins. And Vlad is a shoe-in for king, half the school seems to be obsessed with him.
