I Scream for Florean Fortescue: Remember the A la mode Florean Fortescue was a hero of little to no renown. He provided the little joys in life to many Hogwarts students by running his ice cream parlor in Diagon alley and was known for his generosity, giving out free sundaes, to those who worked on homework in his shop. His unparalleled knowledge on the historical wizarding world allowed him to both help students working on essays, very much like this one, and probably led to his ultimate demise. Due to his relationship with Harry Potter, and his knowledge of possible locations of Horacruxes, in 1996 Death Eaters, under Lord Voldemort's direct commands, forcibly captured, tortured, and later killed Fortescue. Personally, I think Voldemort just had a Neapolitan complex. While not as widely known as his forbear Dexter Fortescue, a former headmaster of this great wizarding institution. His willingness to lend a hand, an ear, and a scoop or two, to struggling students, makes Florean a hero to me.

VivaNova posted:Hello, pupils! How wonderful to see you all here. This has always been my favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx1XIm6q4r4 But as far as a Harry Potter Fanfic that I have actually read, there is Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. This follows the Harry Potter saga if his Aunt Petunia had married a scientist, and Harry had been raised with the the scientific method as a backbone of his upbringing. It is an interesting take.

Podima posted:Getting this assignment out early in the month - I look forward to seeing what you come up with! This is my least favorite "potion" as inspired by Opop and DrinkfiaTM. (And the flying jacob). I call it The Drink That Shall Not Be Named Here are most of the ingredients I would use, but improvization was required so it is not the complete list.  As you can see, I went with burbon as it obviously goes the best with an abomination out of all of the liquors. I used Pork Side Meat rather than bacon because I wanted too, and the thicker slices looked like they would be easier to candy. I was wrong on that front. I never actually used the brown sugar pictured here because white sugar turned out to be easier. I started off my slicing the banana into strips and then candied it. The basic steps here are cut with a mandolin, cover in sugar, then take a brulee torch and set them on fire.    Then I did the same to the bacon. Look how thick it is.    Ok, then I diced some of the remaining bacon, added to some chicken stock, some bourbon and some hot sauce. I microwaved the mixture to let it infuse and let it sit a while too.  Then I shook well with ice.  Now I needed to get the peanuts in somehow. So I diced some up and tried to rim the glass with them... They didn't stick, so I put some peanut butter on the rim and them rimmed the glass with them and it worked, mostly.  Now to bring everything together. I poured the monstrosity in, added the garnishes and ended up with this.  So the bananas didn't nearly hold up as well as I had hoped when candied so they drooped a bit, but otherwise, it looks... still awful. Well let's give it a shot. I did try it, and I did finish the garnish at least, but let's just say that I won't be making this again. This is what is left  Never try this, ever. It will take over Wizarding Britain in a heartbeat. Grandicap fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Sep 2, 2017 |

Wasn't the first one before the shops even opened in hogsmeade? And I can confirm that I bought nothing to do with quidditch, our team's natural talent is more than enough, even if we were riding swiffers.

The Ninth Layer posted:They can go to hogsmeade as a free action. They can talk to other professors. That's just two ways I can think of how they would know, it's not too hard for me to imagine more. Neither going to hogsmeade nor talking to other professors let you know which house bought a thing or how many. If you are supposing they have other powers we don't know about I would call that plausible but unlikely.

It could have been an unhappy Slytherin? I don't know, all I do know is that Keane claimed to receive an owl with a message that has turned out to be true.

busb posted:You can't duel a professor silly! Besides, they would effortlessly defeat you. It's about making a statement. I know a first year like me cannot hope to defeat a professor of Hogwarts, but the fine tradition of Wizarding Duels has always been about righting injustice, and that is what I am here to do. Right an injustice. I will not withdraw my request for a duel.

peramene posted:Let's not all pile around me in the garden looking for an easy fix to your woes with regard to Professors, yes? A favor granted is a favor owed - and if you'd just behave yourselves, you wouldn't be getting in trouble in the first place. I'm sorry, what is it you think Johnny has done that was troublesome? I mean, Aedon initiated the contest because he thought we were being too loud. Ok, sure. Tensions are high and a good contest is a nice way to blow off steam. But then Professor Novis gave him detention for making a butt joke. The epitomy of humor for a 10 year old. Let's face it, butts are funny. That Professor then tried to add insult to injury by stealing his butterbeer. A fizzy beverage is not contraband. Stop victim blaming.
