Oh well. Here's my Professor Trelawney costume. I also wear a scarf as a headband, Harry Potter glasses, and a lot of jewelry. And I make my hair extra poofy. I look a lot like her once I'm all dressed up. Except I'm taller than her. [url=http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301]http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301 ... 2_0797.jpg

That was definitely one of the best nights of my life!!!!!!!! We left at 2:30 EST in the afternoon. We got there by 6:40 and picked up the tickets. We were in the last row. We couldn't see much, but they projected it onto a screen so we just looked at that. There were seats behind us, but no one sat in them. She read the part where Ron comes back. She's a really good reader. She had different voices for the characters and showed their emotion through her voice. It was awesome We would have been the last ones to get our books, but some people wanted to go last, so we weren't last but close to it. I said 'hi' and 'thank you'. I really couldn't think of what to say. But she made eye contact with me and my mom. It was so awesome. One good thing about going close to last was they had a lot of extra books, so me and my mom each got a signed copy and an unsigned copy. Now we have 5 copies of DH in the house. Now for the part you're all anxious for! The answers to the questions people asked! I didn't get to ask a question, but the other questions were good. (I don't remember word for word what she said, so all the answers are in my words). 1) Did Neville ever marry? Yes, he married Hannah Abbott and she became the new owner of the Leaky Cauldron. 2) Was Dumbledore ever in love? Yes. (this one I remember word for word). "I've actually always thought of Dumbledore as gay." Yes, it's true. And he was in love with Grindelwald. 3) Why did you decide to have Molly kill Bellatrix? To have 2 different kinds of love face off. Molly's motherly love and Bellatrix's sick love for Voldemort. And to show that even though Molly's always been the one to take care of the house and cook, she's a powerful witch. 4) Did Hagrid ever find love? No, Hagrid never married or have kids. Madame Maxime was too sophisticated for him. 5) What jobs did Remus, James, Lily, and Sirius have? Remus never worked before he was DADA teacher. No one would hire him. James, Lily, and Sirius were full time Order members and lived off the gold that James got from his parents. 6) What were the illegal charms performed on the goats? An 8 year old asked this one, and JKR said the charms made the goats cleaner. But then she basically said that what the charms really were were inappropriate to discuss in front of an 8 year old. 7) How did it feel finishing the 7th book as compared with the 1st? Very much the same. Although there was a big let down after the 7th and she was really sad for a few weeks. She said her husband deserved applause for putting up with her. But he never went on stage. He was there. 8) What question are you surprised that nobody ever asked? What Dumbledore's wand was. But she was glad nobody ever asked it, because it would have spoiled the last book. 9) How did Dumbledore convince Petunia to keep Harry? He appealed to the side of Petunia that always wanted to be a witch. 10) Were the WWII references intentional? Yes, they were. She wanted to inform the younger generation about bigotry and intolerance and how wherever you are, it will be there. Then she said how you should always question authority and never assume that the government and the press tell you the whole story. She also mentioned 'current regimes' when she said that. *cough, Bush, cough* 11) Was Malfoy in Harry's debt since Harry saved Malfoy's life a few times? No, because Malfoy wasn't a weak character like Pettigrew was. Pettigrew was a very weak character and he actually felt some remorse for what he did and that's why he loosened his grip on Harry's neck. However, the worst thing that could have happened to Malfoy was have Harry save his life since Malfoy hated Harry. 12) Why wasn't the Horcrux in Harry killed when the basilisk bit Harry? Because of Fawkes. Fawkes healed Harry before him and the Horcrux could be killed. 13) Why couldn't Harry have just asked a portrait of Dumbledore about the Hallows? People in portraits can only move to other portraits in the same building or other portraits of themselves. Dumbledore also wanted Harry to learn things along the way of discovering about the Hallows because Harry's usually very reckless and would have wanted to find the Hallows right away. Harry's moment of growing up was when he decided not to look for the Hallows. Plus, there wouldn't have been much of a plot if he could have just asked Dumbledore. 14) Since Ron spoke Parseltongue, is it a language you can learn? No, there aren't many people who can speak it, so there aren't many people to learn it from. Ron heard Harry say 'open' in Parseltongue in the 2nd book and he just imitated that. 15) How would the books have been different if Arthur Weasley had been killed off in the 5th book? Very different. Part of the reason he didn't die was because then Ron would have been a half-orphan and that would have take attention away from Harry. She wanted Ron to stay immature right up until the end. Ron's moment of growing up was when he came back to Harry and Hermione. Also, she wanted to end the book with an orphan (Teddy) but show that he turned out okay. He didn't suffer like Harry did without any parents because he had Harry as a godfather. That's all that I can remember. If I think of any others I missed, I'll post them. And pics! Flash photography wasn't allowed, although some people were using it. They announced that they wouldn't start until the flash photography stopped. I did get a few bad pics on my phone (that has no flash) of the throne she sat in before it started, but I was so far away they were all blurry. I do have pics of my finished Gryffindor scarf! Modeled by Benny. There are also pics of the books. Just click the link, they're all in this section of my Photobucket.

My mom just bought a book and it has all sorts of knitting patterns for HP stuff. Scarves, socks, a Weasley sweater, robes, hats, mittens, and some other stuff. It's really cool. I'm going to knit a Gryffindor sweater. When I'm done with that, I want to make a matching beret and maybe mittens and socks.

She hated failure with an intensity hundreds of times greater than Ron’s hatred of spiders. They found her sulking in the common room in front of the fireplace. “Cheer up Hermione”, Harry said comfortingly. “It’s only potions. Nobody will fault you for failing one of Snape’s assignments.” “I do all the time”, Ron added. “Not helping” Harry replied, sounding annoyed. “I know”, Hermione interjected. “But I’m not use to failure.” “Hermione”, Harry muttered before being cut off. “I think I’ll go take a nap for an hour or two.”, Hermione stated, climbing the stairs to the Girls Dormitory. “I hope she’ll be okay”, Ron said. “Me too”, added Harry. 1 hour later Hermione had just woken up from her nap, intending to clear her head. Unfortunately, she noticed that her first thought was of her failure earlier that day. Her thoughts on the issue were diverted when she noticed a warm, wet feeling in the bed. She threw off her blanket, and noticed that for the first time in many years, she had wet the bed. Hermione stared in shock at her wet patch. Tears were falling from her eyes, and she had no idea what to do. Fortunately, her common sense returned to her, and she did a series of quick spells to clean the wet patch on her pants and the bed. She also got rid of the urine smell in the air. Even though she cleaned her pants and underwear, she still felt it necessary to change into a new outfit. While she was changing, she tried to think of reasons that this could happen to her. The only things that came to mind were disease and stress. Stress was in the forefront of her mind, because of the day’s earlier episode. Hermione felt worse than earlier, but tried to forget her troubles as she went to join her friends for her afternoon classes. “Are you okay, Hermione?”, Harry asked as they met in the common room. “I’m fine”, she replied, not too convincingly. “You don’t look fine”, Ron added. “I said I’m fine!”, Hermione said, nearly yelling. Both Harry and Ron knew it was time to shut up. They just looked at each other and walked out the door to their next class. By the time they got to their “History of Magic” class, Hermione seemed fine. In fact, as Harry noticed, she seemed to have a childlike exuberance surrounding her. She was skipping around, and had to be told repeatedly which way the class was. During class, she didn’t look like she understood anything that the Professor was telling the class. Her notes were just scribbles, and Harry even caught her sucking her thumb at one point. After class, Hermione had a look of normalcy about her. “Hermione, are you okay?”, Harry said, looking concerned and confused. “I told you before, I’m fine.” Hermione stated, looking annoyed. “Not about that.”, Harry replied. “I meant about what happened on the way to class and during class.” “What are you talking about, Harry?” Hermione asked, looking confused. “You were acting like a little kid, Hermione.” Harry said. “You skipped around, talked like a child, and even sucked your thumb once!” “I did no such thing, Harry.” Hermione replied. “You must be going bonkers.” “You saw it, didn’t you Ron?” Harry asked. “You should know I don’t pay attention in class, Harry”, Ron said, “Not even to you and Hermione” “Come on, guys”,Hermione stated, “We better get to class before we’re late” The group left, leaving Harry confused and wanting answers. “Just what the hell was going on today?”, he thought to himself, as he followed his friends to their next class. The rest of the day went just as any other day would. Hermione was acting perfectly normal, leading Harry to believe that he was just imagining her childish behavior. He put it out of his mind, and started his assignments. A few minutes later, Hermione said good-night and went to bed. She looked nervous as she changed and laid down, afraid of a repeat of the earlier day’s problem. She did her best to ignore it, and went to sleep. During her sleep, she had a weird dream. She was in a baby’s highchair, being fed by Harry. She tried to say something, but all that came out was baby babble. She started to throw a tantrum to get Harry’s attention, but doing so knocked over her baby bottle filled with warm milk, which spilled all over her crotch area. “Looks like the baby made a little mess,” Harry cooed. Harry then lifted Hermione out of the highchair and laid her down on a plastic changing mat. He then took off her pants and underwear, and grabbed a baby wipe. Even though Hermione wanted to fight what was happening, she found herself unable to move. Harry then wiped her crotch with the baby wipe, and sprinkled some baby powder on her. Hermione knew what was next, but was helpless to fight it. Harry grabbed a large disposable diaper and slid it under Hermione’s bare bottom. He then taped up the sides of the diaper and lifted Hermione into the air effortlessly. He put her back into the highchair, and put a pacifier into her mouth. She tried to spit it out, but she found herself unable to do so. While Harry was refilling Hermione’s baby bottle, she felt a squishy feeling between her legs. She hit the front of her diaper, and realized it was wet. She had wet without realizing it! She found herself able to cry at that moment, and cry she did. “Looks like somebody has a wet diaper,” Harry cooed, as the dreamworld faded away. Hermione woke up drenched with sweat and breathing hard. At least she thought she was drenched in sweat. She became aware that she was not wet with sweat when she got a whiff of the air. She could smell urine. Her heart beat faster and she began to sweat profusely as she lifted her covers, hoping she was imagining the smell of urine. Her heart plummeted and her eyes became teary as she saw the big stain on her night clothes and bed. A quick glance around told her she was the last one in the dorm, so she wouldn’t have to explain the smell to anyone. She quickly did the same spells she did yesterday to clean her clothes and bed, and also get rid of the urine smell in the air. She was distraught at the circumstances. If she had only wet once, she could pass it off as an accident, but the second time in a row couldn’t be an accident. Then she remembered her dream, and how vividly the feeling of her wet diaper felt. Maybe it was just a coincidence after all! The first time was an accident and the second time was caused by her dream. That made the 17 year old witch happy as she changed into her clothes for the day. Harry and Ron were in the common room, waiting for Hermione so that the three could go and get breakfast. Harry saw Hermione come down the steps with a spring in her step, and worryingly saw that childlike glimpse in her eye again. It wasn’t as intense as the day before, but it was still there. “Finally,” Ron said. “We almost missed breakfast because of you!” “Oh, stow it,” Hermione replied. “You didn’t have to wait for me, you know.” “Whatever,” Ron stated. “Let’s just get some food.” Down at breakfast, Harry noticed Hermione acting kind of childishly. Not as extreme as yesterday, but her table manners seemed to have gone out the window. Despite the plethora of food on her face, her napkin remained untouched. She was drawing a few stares from the people sitting close by, but she didn’t seem to care. She continued to scarf down her food, much like giving a sack of ham sandwiches to a hobo. As Harry was watching, he saw the look in her eyes fade, and her face turn red. She quickly swallowed the large chunk of food in her mouth, and wiped her face down with the napkin. “That was embarrassing.” She thought to herself. “This is going to be another long day” Harry told himself. Hermione found herself unable to focus on her classes for most of the day. She was too busy thinking of her recent streak of bed-wetting. She just didn’t think that the “coincidence” excuse was valid. She pressed her brain for any other reasons for why she could’ve started wetting the bed. The only reason she could think of was, once again, stress. She then realized that the only thing stressing her out currently, was the problem she thought could be caused by stress. That really didn’t make much sense to the young witch, so she dismissed stress as a cause and was back where she started. In Potions class, she forced herself to forget about her current problems so she could pay more attention and not make any more mistakes like she did yesterday. As she entered the dreary room, she saw Malfoy give her that smug, “I know something you don’t know” look. She put that out of her mind and took her seat next to her friends as Snape entered the classroom. “Will there be anymore mistakes today Ms. Granger?” Snape asked with a look of contempt. “No, sir” Hermione answered, suppressing her anger. “Good, good” Snape replied with a feigned look of content. The class went on as usual, with Hermione making sure that she did everything right. She was relieved to discover that there was no problems with her potion-making. She left the class as normal, albeit with a few more smug glances from Malfoy. She tried to find the meaning in those seemingly evil stares, but the meaning seemed to pass her by. She left the potions class at the end of the period and went to her next class **** A few hours later **** It was once again time for Hermione’s “History Of Magic” class. She decided to use the class as a chance to think about her nighttime incidences. When class started, she made it look like she was writing notes, but in reality she was just writing random words and scribbles. The basis of her thought problem was what to do if it happened again that night. After much deliberation, she decided that if it happened again that night, she would go talk with Madam Pomfrey about it. As that decision presented itself, Hermione felt a sense of relief. Following that relief, there was a feeling of warmth, specifically around her crotch, and another feeling that would be classified as wetness. The second that the cogs in her mind put 2 and 2 together, she started to sweat profusely, and her legs began to tremble. She looked down at her crotch and nearly swore out loud when she saw the stain on her pants. “Crap!” She thought to herself. “I just wet myself in the middle of class! What the hell is happening to me?” She held back her tears and quietly used an all too familiar spell to clean her clothes. She didn’t worry about the one to get rid of the smell of urine, because the stain wasn’t there long enough to create an odor. She quickly looked around the room to see if anybody had noticed anything amiss. She didn’t anybody that looked like they saw something, and if anybody had, they were hiding it very well. She now knew that she would have to go see Madam Pomfrey later that day to try and figure out what is wrong with her.

Thankfully, the headmistress had given the OK for these lessons, and granted Remmy permission to leave the grounds alone. The tutor worked one-on-one with Remmy, and no one at hogwarts knew of the lessons except for the headmistress.
