The silver doe was nothing, nothing compared with Ron’s reappearance, he could not believe it. Shuddering with cold, he caught up the pile of clothes still lying at the water’s edge and began to pull them on. As he dragged sweater after sweater over his head, Harry stared at Ron, half expecting him to have disappeared every time he lost sight of him, and yet he had to be real: he had just dived into the pool, he had saved Harry’s life.

Scientists are planning their own march on Washington

The Scientists’ March on Washington is still in its early stages of development, but it already has its own logo, website, Twitter account, and a rapidly growing Facebook group, where more than 140,000 people have already joined.

The march is for “anyone who uses and values these tools for understanding the world, not just professional scientists.”

Isn’t it weird how we basically have an endless mental conversation with ourselves?

Bottled in 350 AD, this is the worlds oldest bottle of wine

It is a known fact that the older the wine, the more valuable it is. While wine lovers often wait ardently to sample aged wines in pride, they may not be particularly excited to guzzle down the spirit in picture. We are talking about a 350 AD vintage bottle of wine, that is hands down the oldest in the world. Unearthed in 1867, the drink dates back to approximately 325 CE, thus making the bottle a staggering 1680 years old!

Post its excavation, the spirit container has been safely kept on display at the Pflaz Historical Museum in Germany for over a century. While several bottles were said to be buried in the sarcophagus of a noble roman couple (the underground home to these containers), only this particular beauty has made it atop in one piece.

Books are not about passing time. They’re about other lives. Other worlds. Far from wanting time to pass, one just wishes one had more of it.

hp magical creatures : Niffler

“A Niffler was a creature with a long snout and a coat of black, fluffy fur. They were attracted to shiny things, which made them wonderful for locating treasure, but this also meant that they could wreak havoc if kept (or set loose) indoors.”

Christmas was coming. One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake froze solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban.

Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.
