Why does not green cotton hold up better?
So I was in the thrift store today looking for sweaters to wear, and sweaters to frog, not necessarily in that order, and I had to ask myself why green cotton sweaters do not hold up as well as green wool sweaters. There was something I particularly needed a Slytherin Green Cotton Sweater for, and no luck at all. They were all shabby.
But the people in Hogwarts do donate some nice things to the Red Crossed Wands. I got a man's extra large Shetland sweater with many colors - it will be a pain to frog, but I will be able to make a coordinated something with the yarn, and I may felt some of it... and there was a lovely green angora sweater I had to have for, you know, fuzzy snake purposes, and a sweater I am pretty sure is Cashmere that I intend to wear - well, at least till I get tired of it - HUGE green Merino laceweight that will yeild enough for who knows how many scarves and shawls, a little red sweater that looks cute on, a black sweater that looks soignee on - well, as soignee as a short dumpy body gets - and a peasant blouse that looks sort of like it came off a real peasant. Never know when you have to go out dressed as a Muggle, so those are really useful. I passed up a bunch of stuff too.

HW
1. At what are Hogwarts students allowed to swear loudly if smoovenu attenuclea attempts to strangle them?
Venemous Tentaculae Although actually, I'd be swearing at whoever had planted it.
2. An animal form protector charm is a stuproan.
Patronus. Although in saying animal form, one may confuse. They appear as animals, yes, but the animals they appear as are silvery and translucent. If something that looks like a crow comes up and caws at you, it is probably NOT a patronus.
3. Who is the potions master in HBP? Choare Gushroln
Horace Slughorn. Corpulant Sycophant HS is blamed by at least one of my friends at least in part for the shining example of manhood that Tom Riddle became. Having done my time teaching HS, I would like to say that HS teachers rarely have that sort of influence, so he must have managed it all before fourth year was over.
4. What is Aragog? A troaclanuam
Aragog, the giant spider, is an Acromantula. We have no idea if he is related to Shelob or not. History is mute on so many really important points.
5. Who is imperiused and cursed by a necklace in HBP? Itkea Lebl
Katie Bell.
6. What does Harry destroy in HBP? choxerrous
This spells Horcruxes, but which did he destroy in HBP? He got Tom Riddle's diary in CoS. Dumbledore got the ring in between Order of the Phoenix and HBP. Hermione got the cup, Ron got the locket, The fiend fire started by Crabbe or Goyle (I can never tell those two apart) got the diadem of Ravenclaw, Neville got the snake and Voldemort got Harry, all in DH. Doesn't that equal seven?
What he does do is go to the hidden cave by the seashore and steal the fake locket RAB left there. This adventure weakens Dumbledore and he is killed by Snape shortly after his return to Hogwarts. No Horcrux was actually harmed in the making of this book, though.
7. Draught of living death is comprised of ? (list the four components)
The four components are asphodel, in an infusion of wormwood, valerian roots and sopophorous beans.
Exactly how oftern this would be used in everyday life and why anyone would want to teach HS kids to brew it is beyond me.
8. What potion can reverse the draught of living death? dweliggnew
I do not believe this actually translates to anything. I can't find an antidote for the draught of living death anywhere. But since death dies if you live, perhaps the elixir of dieing death?
Bonus: Who is R. A. B.?
Regulus Arcturus Black, the younger Death-Eater brother of Sirius Black.
Venemous Tentaculae Although actually, I'd be swearing at whoever had planted it.
