Pottermore

The title says it all- I got onto Pottermore! :) Okay, I got on like, a week ago but I forgot to tell you... :P Anyways, you should really go check it out. It's hard to describe how it works since it's so visual and... different from sites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr...

And you can pick up so many new secrets and additional information from Jo Rowling herself! :) I even got to know how the first meeting with James Potter and Vernon Dursley went. Apparently, they were at this Muggle restaurant. Vernon was trying to impress James by telling him about being the CEO of the company and his brand new car. James, being James, told Vernon about his vault at Gringotts filled to the brim with solid gold and his racing broom. Guess who exploded and stormed out of the place?  (Yes, it's Vernon. James probably stayed at the table and enjoyed the Muggle food...)

And you can get your own wand. All you need to do is to take a quiz and you'll get yours! Mine is sycamore wood with phoenix feather. 10 3/4 inches. Surprisingly swishy (I have no idea what does that mean...). It says that sycamore is wood for a questing wand. It's eager for new experience and has a high capacity to learn and adapt. The ideal owner is curious, vital and adventurous. The phoenix feather is the rarest type of wand core, is capable of a great range of magic and can sometimes act on it's own accord.

Yeah, you can find all of the wand wood/wand core explanations on Pottermore as well! Brilliant, eh? :)

It's kind of ironic how my wand length is in between James (11 inches) and Lily (10 inches). At least my wand is swishy like Lily's, whatever that means...

Of course, you can get Sorted too! I'm a Slytherin. I've always been aiming for Slytherin, I can't really see myself as a Hufflepuff or a Ravenclaw. I think I came quite close to Gryffindor but I think I was a bit more ambitious. I find it sad that Hufflepuffs are the underdogs, they barely have any glory or anything special. At least Ravenclaws are smart and Gryffindors...well, you don't need to know anymore about Gryffindors.

And at school, my house color is green and the house name starts with an 'S' so it's quite a charming coincidence. Although I'm a lot more supportive of Slytherin than my real house at school.

Okay, I've met some kind of Writer's Block for my James/Lily 'Seventh Year and Beyond' fanfic so I'm starting to work more on the Rose/Scorpius one. This one is very different. It's a really long one-shot really. They aren't best friends, there's hardly any magic (since it takes place over the summer) so I hope all of you can read it and as I said before, Scorpius is going to be very, very different from James Potter. He's...demonic sometimes and well, emotionally unstable. 

But don't worry, I will also put out a Rose/Scorpius where they are best friends in Hogwarts with plenty of magic and Scorpius is the one that I know and love (the calm, cool, confident one...). So stay tuned! Until, like, summer...? Yeah, it's going to take a VERY LONG TIME.

Albus Severus, Scorpius Hyperion and Rose Weasley.
This is pretty much how it's going to look like in the fanfic where Scorpius and Rose are best friends. For the fanfic where they aren't, let's just say you don't exactly want to see a picture of Scorp.
