I am the Burgundy King,
I can do anything!

Still going back through old entries to spread the love around, this month I am awarding this one:

So, Burgandy's extra credit is over, but I made this weird egg. And I have nothing else to do with it really so, i'm just gonna post some pictures of it anyway.

Look guys, it's a weird egg! What kind of egg is that you ask? Snake egg! And it's got pictures of wizards and dementors on it.

... I think it's pretty groovy.

peramene posted:

The moment Professor Burgundy offered this extra credit assignment, I knew there was only one thing to demonstrate. While we haven't covered it in class yet, there are several utilities for alternative theories of defense against dark wizardry and mugglery. One such theory presents the choreography of the body in such a fashion so as to redirect the magical energies within to produce an effect. One such technique - which is very difficult to master - truly spoke to me, and as we build up to exams, I found myself performing the first few elements of it - invoking their ability to calm and soothe the mind. In the below demonstration, I have intentionally occluded one element and only performed the majority of the First Movement - one part of a complex series. Those of who you have joined me in reading ahead in the Defense book will of course recognize these movements. I didn't have this in time for the initial assignment entirely due to my shyness and not wanting to reveal my inability to speak aloud - which as you can imagine, makes a number of spells more difficult for me. As we've said in class very frequently, never cower in the face of adversity.

Intended instead as something of a blessing to all of us on this round of exams, I present - an alternative Defense against the Dark Arts methodology: the First Movement. Also included is a hideen joke, just for laughs.

You need an ornately painted snake egg? For some tangible purpose?

I'm so intruiged. Yeah, it's yours. Anything for a housemate. It's just an ornately painted egg, I ... don't really know what you do with it anyway.

If you believe in superstitions it will bring you good luck. If you don't believe in superstition it'll sign your name up to one of those muggle telemarketing call lists so, just be careful.

Made in memory of Fred Weasley after the battle of Hogwarts, The Cracked Weasley now stands on any half decent drink menu throughout the wizarding world.

The Cracked Weasley consists of a good quality gin poured over ice, lemon juice & sugar syrup to your preference, topped w/ ginger beer, garnished with a good lashing of fresh cracked black pepper & a slice of lemon.

I enjoy drinking it I like to imagine this is the kind of drink Fred would have enjoyed best, something funny and light with a sudden punch!!

Tried this out today and it was an excellent drink for a nice end-of-summer breezy day! Thanks again for the excellent recipe.

Mulberry approaches Keane and talks about how this one time she was casting a stupify but then she kinda got a bit distracted and ended up casting it into a bush, which she thought possibly hit a pixie because she heard a really high pitched squeal and then when she was going to go and see how he was there was a REALLY pretty flower that was all purple and yellow and smelled like that time her Aunty Maybel was going to the town hall to dance and oh boy that night she ate five THOUSAND boiled lollies.

Keane thinks that he's made a new friend, but sometimes it is hard to tell.

Ingredient #1: one part Skele-Gro, a common ingredient often found in healing potions.


Ingredient #2: two parts Blackjack Juice, known to bring good luck to those who drink it.


Ingredient #3: one part Essence of Dragonberry, known for giving those to drink it the ability to temporarily breathe smoke.

I was putting away the potions that I used for Professor Podima's last extra credit assignment the other day and I thought about Paris' snake egg. On paper, it seemed to me like a mixture of those three ingredients might have a helpful effect on the growth of whatever was in the egg.

I added Skele-Gro, Blackjack Juice, and Essence of Dragonberry to a tiny cauldron and left the egg in there overnight. I wasn't really sure if anything would happen so I didn't think to take pictures of it :eng99:

I checked on it the next morning and you guys won't believe what happened!



Professor Podima, can we take care of him in the Care of Magical Creatures classroom? :ohdear: I know dragons are usually dangerous but promise to work extra hard to make sure he doesn't eat / break / burn anything! :peanut:

Ah, Professeur, you need only 'ave asked! There's all sort of things I can tell you about rough'ousing on this campus. There 'ave been, for example, the many times that Mulberry 'as been bullied and shoved in the 'alls. Or recently, when I was 'elping with the Astronomy project, and some other students threw a telescope at my 'ead. Or more recently still, there was the time that several students from other 'ouses ganged up on your own nephew and beat the tar out of 'im, as I'm no doubt you're aware, caring uncle that you are. This 'as been such fun for us, but we 'ave persevered through it all. I do 'ope that in the future you see fit to punish the people who are actually responsible, and not the victims.

I do appreciate that you 'ave put in the effort to 'ave an actual excuse prepared, unlike Professor Novis's outright theft.
