[neverwhere]

Happy Birthday ashfae! Can you believe we've known each other more than five years? I remember when you were just an ickle Fae...and now you're all grown up. Awwwww. *giggles*
I hope you have a perfectly marvelous day, my love. *squeezes tight and showers you in celebratory sparkles* :)


I had a rather disturbing experience at work the other day, when Professor Umbridge came in and demanded a free dvd rental. No, I'm serious. Dolores Umbridge walked into my store, up to my till, and started harassing me. It would have been irksome enough if a normal person had done it, but Umbridge...I think I actually let out a small gasp of horror when I saw her, because she really was the EXACT copy of Umbridge, from the stubby fingers covered in gaudy rings, to protruding eyes and wide, amphibian mouth. And of course, she had the same evil personality. It was rather unnerving, actually, to be speaking with someone you'd swear was only fictional. Let's hope she never comes in again. *G*

Speaking of the Potterverse...Can someone tell me how exactly Lucius can recognize Padfoot? Am I forgetting a passage from GoF where Sirius transforms in front of him? They weren't at school together, so it can't be from their Hogwarts days...*puzzlement* Also, is there a website that has a list of all of Ron's 'predictions' which ended up coming true? I'm just curious. And lastly, is there a good fanart picture of Hermione and her otter Patronus? I'd love to make one into an icon (with the artist's permission of course).


In other news...I am the Jeopardy Queen! Oh yes I am. *beams proudly* I really should apply to be on the show, because I always seem to do as well as, if not better than, the eventual winner. Huzzah for obscure knowledge and Ravenclaw intellectual superiority! Of course, knowing my luck, if I ever do get on the programme, all the questions will be about sports. Bleaugh. *laughs*

I changed my default icon to the photo of me looking cuter than I actually do, because you all seem to agree it's the best. Plus it has my name on it, just in case you've forgotten which journal you're reading, which I'm sure you all find very helpful. *smirks* ;-) *hugs and kisses each and every one of you* :)

Hmmm I thought Lucius Malfoy was the same age as Black and Potter and Snape or am i wrong? and if you find that list of predictions nevvie pop it up and YES YOU CAN JUSTIFY THE EXPENSE TO VISIT YOUR GONNA SEE ME AND THE RAT THAT IS JUSTIFICATION ENOUGH :)

There's no need to shout skunkyboi *tickles you into submission* :-P

And I thought Lucius attended Hogwarts with Mr Weasley, which is where part of their animosity comes from, just like Snape and Sirius and Harry and Draco...Hmmmm. *ponders*

[silvante.livejournal.com]

but i thought Weasley was at school the same time as the others as doesn't snape mention knowing Mr Weasley too?

*heeeeeeee's and hids*

I'm PippinsScarf on AIM, you big doof. Didn't you look on my userinfo page? :-P~

The surviving Marauders and Snape are early thirties as of OotP according to JK, and OotP positively gives Lucius's age as 41, so they most likely weren't in school together.

I believe Lucius knows Mr. Weasley from The Ministry, while Lupin/Black know him from The Order. The Weasleys are both significantly older than Snape/Marauders b/c Bill has to be around 10 yrs. older than Ron and his contemporaries.

Sorry for babbling. *grin*

So it is likely that the older ones know the younger ones from hogwarts and vice versa but where in different years etc

[lyricalnights.livejournal.com]

Hmm, possible, but unlikely.

Say Lucius was no younger than 17 in his last year. That would mean for any of the Marauders to be in school with him, they would have to be at least 11, which is only 6 years difference, when the age difference between them is likely closer to 8-9 years. It really depends on whether people are ever let in earlier or later than 11.

It's also possible that Bill was at Hogwarts with the Marauders (a 1st year to their 7th years, perhaps.) Scary, yes?

[silvante.livejournal.com]

scary indeed, It it is truly mind bogling

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Snape is 36 in PoA, isn't he?

You're not babbling. :) *hugs*

[lyricalnights.livejournal.com]

I believe JK said in an interview (which certainly isn't gospel, though) that Snape was 28 in Philsopher's Stone.

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

In OotP, he seems to be in the same class/age as the Marauders (15) which means he should've been born in the same year which (according to various interviews and the timeline on the CoS DVD) was 1960.

[lyricalnights.livejournal.com]

Hmm, that's earlier tahn I would have thought, but then again she gives out tons of contradictory info (darn her) so who knows. *shrugs*

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

I'm just going by whatever's now considered official canon as per the DVD timeline. You can find all the info on the HP Lexicon site.
