 [Master Pranker] Lily Wong [Hey, I‘m] Julian || David || MacGregor [Friends call me] Julian, Mac, [and my enemies,] Jules, Julie/a, Julius, Greg [People think] that all I am is a stud, a ladies man, but one of the big pranksters of the school. They see me as stubborn and uncontrollable and that I should be a slytherin for all my trickery and sneaking around. [But you know what?] Even though I like joking around as much as anyone, and love to prank, it‘s not like I go around backstabbing people. I’m a good guy, I like to hang with the lasses, and if you think I‘m a joke, then I don‘t like you. [Last I checked I] was a dude, [and believe me] I like the ladies.
[I am situated] in Hufflepuff. No, really.
[I arrived] July 27 [to be a] Leo [and am] 14 years old
[Been pranking these halls] for a glorious four years now.
[The Unit go by] Susan and Ethan MacGregor. [Thanks to them] I feel like a cheap store product: half and half. All the more fun in cheap stuff.
[I cast with] a 10 [inch] maple [that has] centaur hair. Man, that had to be hard to get ahold of.
 [My guardian] is a raven, not a crow.
[We found a wounded] eastern screech owl [and named him] Aidan after we nursed him back to health.
[Quidditch?] It's alright to watch, but I never really got into the whole playing thing. Besides, it would take a lot of time and we already have some dedicated players.
[Check me out] because I‘m not completely unfortunate looking. I think some of the MacGregor genes managed to trickle down. I stand at five five foot seven, a little tall for a fourteen year old, but what you gonna do? At least I won‘t get mauled by some random jerk unless they‘ve got a wand. Wait, this whole school does, never mind. I‘m British and Scottish, so I‘m a white boy, pink tint sometimes. I’m a medium build, not all that athletic, but I’m not skinny or flabby either. Alright, slightly. But it hardly shows even with my shirt off.
My hair is a medium brown, and at the beginning and end of every school year I shave it off. But inbetween it grows out and the tips always seem to curl a bit. For some reason people like it. I find it really annoying. By the way, how do you like my sideburns? I think they‘re awesome. My eyes are a gray-brown mix. Sometimes it‘s a mixture, other times it‘s a solid one-or-the-other. Here‘s a hint; when they‘re gray I‘m in a bad mood, when they‘re brown I‘m in a good mood.
And my clothes? Well, isn‘t that an odd question to ask a guy? I usually like to go for plain t-shirts as I‘ve never been much of a one for slogans or “catchy sayings“. But other than that I‘m usually wearing sweaters or jackets, and often jeans. I have a few pairs of white and black pants, and some sweats, but mostly jeans. I do have some nice white shirts, though, and a black top layer that has thin, light gray stripes. When it‘s cold, I wear a scarf, too. Oh, and by the way, tennis shoes really are the only way to go.
 [Back in the day…] Does it ever make you feel old to say that? I certainly do. My Great-Great grandfather Daniel MacGregor really likes the phrase, but I dunno, it just sounds weird to me. Speaking of the old man, let me give you a little bit of a breakdown. My father‘s side, the MacGregors, were once royal bloods in Scotland. Way back then and so on and so forth. I don‘t recall the count, by old Daniel might. My family‘s a little interesting: I got aunts, uncles, and even grandparents who run casinos, aunts and uncles that are archaeologists, plus the many playwrights, singers, authors and God knows what other odd or interesting jobs. I can hardly say my family is “normal“. Anyway, my mom Susan used to be a Hufflepuff at Hogwarts, and when she got out, she ran across my muggle father. And didn‘t tell him she was a witch, go figure.
Anyway, my parents were busy a lot, and though I was content at home, I never really felt all too happy. I know my parents loved me, but they just didn‘t have the time, y‘know? So I decided it was high time (with their permission) to move in with my great-great grandparents Anna and Daniel. I was about, oh, eight years old at the time. I thought it was funny the way Anna made a fuss over cigars and alcohol, especially around me or guests.
When I got to being about nine or ten, things started happening. Lamps would break, letters would disappear, my underwear was being found in odd places. And I don‘t mean odd like a normal person, I mean odd like up the chimney! They thought I was always trying to trick them and pull pranks. They went along with it for awhile, but seeing as how it didn‘t really stop, they started getting annoyed and sent me off to some special private school. I gotta tell ya, the only good thing about those schools are the plant and health classes. I would have rebelled otherwise.
It wasn‘t too long after I was taken to this special correctional private school that we received a letter from me. After having read it, I think Daniel fainted from sheer shock and Anna was about to. So my mom came along with dad and explained her whole business of being a witch from so said magical school. That cleared some things up, though I really think she should have spilled the beans sooner. The house was odd for awhile after that, but I think they all got over it.
After my first train ride, I‘d heard plenty of rumors about what the different Houses were about and the students in them. Knowing my record, a lot of them figured me for a Slytherin. You see, after being wrongly accused of pranking, I decided, ‘why not have something to be blamed over‘ and began pranking myself. In fact, I pranked the train with silly string, a few bees, and feathers. Not the best way to start, mind you.
But alas, I was placed into Hufflepuff. Shocked a lot of people, but I though it suited me. The people in this House were great, real nice, and a lot of them nurturing it seemed. After a couple of years, I learned to excel in potions and herbology. I would like to become someone in the medical profession, so I guess being in this House really helped me a lot.
 [I‘m someone] who pulls a lot of pranks. I like to joke around and have fun and just hang. I‘m pretty friendly and outgoing, if I do say so myself, and I am especially notable for trying to get the attention of the ladies. What can I say? I‘m drawn to them. I am also pretty darn stubborn. It‘d probably be best to get on my good or my I-Don‘t-Know-You sides because I tend to stick to whatever opinions I form. If you do or say something that makes me decide that I don‘t like you, then I will probably never like you. Ever. Exceptions are rare. And once I don't like you, I may just get in your face and I won't beat around the bush with you.
But enough of that. Just because I like to pull pranks and joke around, it doesn‘t mean I‘m immoral. When I joke, you‘ll never hear anything sexist or racist come out of my mouth, unless I‘m quoting a bud or commenting on something someone else said. I don‘t believe in picking on retards, either. If you‘re gonna pick a fight, do it to protect someone! Oh, and by the way, once you‘re a good friend of mine, I am very protective. I don‘t believe in lying without good reason either, though avoiding the question or misdirecting you I am frequently guilty of. I'm also a firm believe in not hitting girls (Quidditch is an exception, but don't shatter their bones). Some people believe in that way I am sexist. That's their issue.
I don't try to be alone, much ever. I prefer to be mixed in with all the chatter and hubbub that is Hogwarts. But when I am, I'm usually tending to plants or studying medicine. I also like to hang around the Hospital Wing a lot. Sometimes Madame Pomfrey doesn't mind, but other times she gets really annoyed with my being there. People get shocked to see me in the library, too. I don't do my homework immediately, but I don't leave it to last minute either. Besides, sometimes it's good distraction. And if nothing else, it's helps me get a little better with my poor Transfiguration ability. I really hate Transfiguration. Most people love it, but I certainly don't. I do alright in the rest of my classes though. I think my insistent flirting annoys some of the professors sometimes, and I've been sent out of class before.
So back to the ladies, shall we? I've always had a keen interest in them, or at least, ever since I wound up in Scotland with Daniel and Anna I have. Must be his influence, because he's always been setting the family up with people. I decided instead of fighting it, embrace it. Most of my friends are girls, actually, but they can't be complete idiots or total fashion zombies. They need some essence to them for me to like them. When I'm with a girl, I like to dig around, find things that interest her. Sometimes it's muggle magic, other times it's a flower or some childish game that they secretly like to run around and play. Or a cd or something, y'know? And you can't date me without getting tickled or pranked once in awhile. I can't help myself!
 Alright, I guess it's time to fess up, isn't it? It's immature, but I can't turn down a challenge in a belching contest. I prefer magic not be involved, but if it is, I like to see how zany I can make it. And I'm still fond of the classic prank of the whoopee cushion. There's just something about the air-filled rubber device and the sound it makes when the unsuspecting victim sits on it. And something I learned from my father when I was young was the finger wag, single and double. I use that when I get mad. And my voice, in a very loud manner. I only get quiet if I'm truly ticked off, and I do mean beyond all reason. It's my warning of: Do anything else and I WILL rage. I don't like to admit it, but I have hexed someone before when I got really mad. Sometimes when I what muggles call "rage", I black out and do things and won't ever remember them. It's truly awful.
And you know what? It terrifies me when I rage. Not being able to remember anything and knowing that I did something really horrible...it's a scary thing. A few people in my family have that problem, so I think it's genetic. And that's even scarier. And I'm scared of leaving Hogwarts. I know I'll have to eventually, but I don't want to. It's like home to me, even if I do blow it up and vadalize it. I'm also scared of crocodiles, zebra, llamas and being outside at night when even the crickets refuse to make noise. That always means something bad. Oh, and I don't think I'll ever want to come across a werewolf, either. That could be very bad.
I have this thing where if I sit still for too long, I move my head around in an almost circular motion. Sometimes my neck cracks, sometimes it doesn't. And I usually roll my eyes when I do this. Also, when I start tuning out the professors I'll usually end up tapping my foot to some beat that's only playing in my head, and my head might even start bobbing. My oddities remind me that I'm not perfect. And while we're on that subject...Sometimes...sometimes I don't realize I'm hurting people. I avoid racist and sexist jokes, but my jokes have a way sometimes of offending people anyway. Or if someone wants something I'll toss it to them and they get mad. I don't know why, but it tends to go towards their face. I also can't admit I like a girl, I mean really like a girl unless she says something first. If I flirt with her and think she's alright and wanna date her, that's one thing, but really liking her is another.
[All right!] Joke products are the best wizarding tools ever created. I can‘t get enough of Zonko‘s! And there‘s really nothing like the thrill of sneaking around late at night when you‘re not supposed to. As for people, I like them upbeat. People who are just pissed off or mopey all the time are boring and stupid. I like to see some energy, some life! I also like to raise my own crops in a small planter, what few I can, and I like to learn medicine. Potions and Herbology are my favorite classes, other than feeding time.
[I‘m sorry.] I say if you‘ve got a problem with muggles, then you‘ve got a problem with me. I was raised by them, not my witch mother. And my mother never said anything on her magic ability anyway, nor did I ever catch her using magic. And when people are really quiet, like, all the time, I think it‘s creepy. Say something! And I am not a fan of transfiguration or astronomy.
[Random information] I‘m actually really good with my hands. When I was back at the house, Daniel insisted I learn to do things with my hands. I‘m fairly good at fixing wands and brooms, so long as the damage isn‘t too terrible.

[Bridgette Cooke] Bee is really an awesome girl. She's happy and very giving, and always seems to have enough energy to run around helping this charity or baking her vegan cookies for that friend. I've noticed her staying after class for help or cleaning up, which takes some guts in this school. Most students would think she was a teacher's pet or a slut, but I know she's not that way. Really, she's one of my closest friends, even if she is a little younger than me.

[Richard "Rick" Samuels] Rick, funny guy. No, really, he is. Sometimes I like to shoot the ball around with him and we can even play off each other's jokes if we're having a good day. Good guy, too. I don't think I've ever seen him actually pick a fight. I'm beginning to notice a pattern: Hufflepuff Quidditch players have a lot of fourth years. Rick is the nice class clown, is one way to put it. Cool guy by my book. He just needs to pay a little more attention.

[Melanie Parks] Melanie? I've seen her a few times. Actually, she's with Kenzie and Mary a lot, so I've talked to her a number of times. I think it's really funny and cute the way she gets excited over something, though she's a little hard on herself sometimes. She does a vice versa out on the field during Quidditch though.

 But to you I am... GRYFFINDORName: Bridgette Marie Cooke
Year: 3rd
Relationship: <3 <3 <3 <3 & ☺ ☺ ☺
What you think of Mac: Mac is a really good friend of mine and ...don't tell him But I'm majorly in love with this guy! He always makes jokes and plays pranks, he's just so fun spirited! I guess he matches me pretty well, I mean I love myself a good prank And I love to laugh...he just helps me do it.^^
History, if any: They met her first year which was his second when he had been in the process of pulling a prank on filch. She had seen him do it and had laughed hysterically. They soon became good friends and they always see each other. Birdie doesn't really have that many friends, and most of them are older than her so it's nice to have the one friend who is her age.
Plot ideas: Maybe a little puppy love aye?RAVENCLAWName: Drake Robert Alexander
Year: 5th
House: Ravenclaw
Relationship: ☺ ☺What you think of (Julian): Julian is prety cool. I haven't had any classes with him [since i'm a fifth year] but he always seems to be having fun...and he likes upbeat people and, fortunately he is able to manage my personality that never seems to shut down or shut up for that matter.
History, if any: I met Julian his first year. We accidentally ran into each other as I was finally wandering off to class after using all my time socializing and he was running to potions class. I helped him get to class on time, so consequently I was late for transfigurations. But I thought he was cool and was fun to ber around so I like to invite him to parties every once in a while and hang out. I give him in the inside scoop on everything Hogwarts and occasionally help him with his schoolwork. Mostly we just like getting into trouble together.
Plot ideas: Possibly getting into trouble, or barely escaping it by playing pranks and sneaking about. Of course trying to find out all the secret passageways and rooms inside Hogwarts. Name: Kevin Jameson
Year: 5th
House: Ravenclaw
Relationship: You look familiar...
What you think of Julian: "He doesn't seem too bad, his friend Bee, is it? She seems pretty cool too."
History, if any: They're in different houses, and there's a slight age difference, so they're not around each other too much, but they know each other.
Plot ideas: I haven't much to say here. :/HUFFLEPUFF
Name: Mary Regina Perison
Year: 4
Relationship: ☺ ☺ ☺ & <3
What you think of Julian: "Julian? I don't call him Mac because Mac is my other friend in the same house! :] But Julian's a sweet kid. He's certainly giving the Weasley twins a run for their money. He's very nice and finds me funny. Huh. Anyway, he's cool and a good friend!"
History, if any: Same house && Year. biggrin DD"
Plot ideas: Mary could definitely play matchmaker for this kid. Whether or not it will actually work is a different story entirely. As long as Julian doesn't get his hopes too high, I think it could work.
Name: Mackenzie Gray Alexanders [Mac/Kenzie!]
Year: 4th year
House: Hufflepuff
Relationship: <3 <3 - "A flutter, in more than one place" and ☺ Aquaintances
What you think of Julian: "Haha, yea I know Julian! It's funny because we actually share the same nickname: Mac. But I like calling him Julian, but only because it's kind of feels funny for me to call him by my nickname. Sometimes if we're in the same area and somebody calls out "Mac!" we both turn around and see that we both turned around at the sound of that name, so we have a good laugh. He's really adorable in looks and personality. He's funny and nice and outgoing and good-looking! All good traits I must say. And another plus is that he hardly ever makes fun of my accent, which I like."
History, if any: Well Mac isn't quite sure how she came across Julian. Most likely through Mary but it's very possible that Mac went up to Julian and introduced herself. They've had a few laughs together and pleasant conversations. Mac has always had a small thing for Mac, but I think it'll grow if they hang out more.
Plot ideas: Hmm well I think becoming good friends will work since they both hang around Mary a lot. Possibly more? Like I said, Mac's always had a small thing for Julian and if they hang out more it'll start to grow more. Name: Rick Samuels
Year: 4th
House: Hufflepuff
Relationship: Average Friends ; ☺ ☺ ☺ What you think of Julian: "Oh man, the jokes we come up with. If only he'd use his powers for good instead of evil. Well, pranks aren't really evil, are they? As long as no one gets hurt, I guess it's fine."
History, if any: three years and counting! Rick's always a bit wary of the schemes Julian comes up with.
Plot ideas: Julian should give Rick girl advice! Hilarious, right? (I think so!)SLYTHERINName: Melanie Nicole Parks
Year: 4th year
House: Slytherin
Relationship: ☺- Acquaintances, soon to be friends
What you think of Julian: "Julian's so funny! And yea, I call him Julian since my best friend's called Mac, but I think he calls her Kenzie. Anyway! He's really outgoing and friendly. I'm surprised he hasn't played a prank on me yet, since I tend to scream really loud and get scared pretty easily. I'm not saying that I want him to prank me! No! I'm just saying that I'm a little surprised he hasn't since I'd probably be an easy and satifying target"
History, if any: Melanie met Julian through Mac and has always found him really funny and a lot of fun to be around. She likes his personality but doesn't feel any romantic feelings towards him. They've had classes and when Melanie sees him around the castle she always smiles and waves.
Plot ideas: Better friends sounds good. Also, I think it'd be funny if Julian pranked Melanie since she's such an easy taget. Plus, I'm pretty sure he'd get a huge scream out of her.

 The Family Daniel
Anna
Duncan
Mom
 Name: Ethan Curtis MacGregorAge: 45 Birthday: August 11 [Leo] Connections: Julian's father, Susan's husband, Daniel and Anna's grandson, and Duncan's uncle. Model: Gerry McCann, cardiologist A Taste of Personality: Serious yet a jokester, work-first-play-later personality, good-natured but incredibly strict. A Bit of Background: Ethan is the son of a casino owner and an author, so you can bet his life growing up was anything but dull. Living in a suburb of Las Vegas he was always watching his mother write her novels and learning to count cards from his father. As a teenager, he had a part-time job helping out at the Comanche Casino. He steered off towards business, himself, and buried himself in his work. While visitng his parents he met a vacationer named Susan and fell head over heels in love with her. After a few years they did the whole marriage-child business, but stopped at Julian, because they hardly had time to raise just him.

New Profile updated: December 21, 2008
(( Master Prankster )) shelly-wong
(( Hey, I'm )) Julian David MacGregor
(( Friends or enemies? )) Julian, Mac Jules, Julie/a, Julius, Greg
(( Last I checked I )) I was a dude
(( and believe me )) I like the ladies
(( I arrived )) July 27, 1976
(( And am )) 14
(( While being )) a Leo
(( Been pranking these halls )) for a glorious four years now
(( I am situated )) in Hufflepuff. No, really
(( I cast with )) a 10 inch maple wand that has centaur hair. Man, I feel bad for that wandmaker my mum took me to (lesser British wandmaker).
(( The Unit go by )) Ethan Curtis MacGregor and Susan Arline MacGregor (Bucklin). But it's Daniel Duncan MacGregor and Anna Marie MacGregor (Whitfield) that raised me.
(( Sorry to disappoint )) but I'm an only child.
(( Anyone else? )) Well, sure! My cousin Duncan Ross Bucklin is a Hufflepuff as well. But I never talk to him.
(( It’s all business )) His parents are middle status, with his father being a businessman and his mother an author-in-progress they end up having to use much of their money for hotel stays and flights across the country. When Julian’d had enough of them he tore off to his great-grandparents who lived in a castle, very old from the beginning of the MacGregor line. They aren’t exactly rich, but they seem able to hold their own, what with their many children and grandchildren always looking after them. Julian started a paper-route this last summer so he could pay his own way.
(( I've been seen )) wearing a kilt before. That means I'm Scottish, I am! (although my parents were born in America). I keep to my grandfather and great-grandfather's roots.
(( Cheat store product )) Half and Half.
(( We found a )) wounded eastern screech owl and named him Aidan once we nursed him back to health.
(( Quidditch? )) It's alright to watch, but I never really got into the whole playing thing. Besides, it would take a lot of time and we already have some dedicated players like Mary and Kenzie
(( My guardian )) is a raven, not a crow.
(( Even I get scared )) when I see someone puppeteering something. I haven't the faintest idea why.
(( It’s in the air )) soap, cookies, the ocean
(( Truth I will hide )) I both fear and hate my father, but am okay with my mother (yet ignore her part of the family), and I would like to make peace with them somehow. And while I seem at ease and carefree, I’m terrified of ever having to leave Hogwarts (which will be blatantly obvious seventh year). Also, I try not to act it but I get motion sick, which is one of the reasons I don’t do Quidditch.
(( Peer through the mirror )) To make peace with his parents, and to always retain his childlike quality. He wants to become successful, but to always have time for anyone who needs him.
(( The chill sets in )) when I think of how my parents practically abandoned me; especially once my magic began doing uncontrollable things.
(( Check list )) Obtain Excellents on my O.W.L.s for Potions and Herbology, and then to follow up in a medical career, repay Daniel and Anna for every ounce of money they spent to care for me, and to go out with a bang! Whether it’s pranking or leaving Hogwarts, whichever comes first.
(( People think )) that all I am is a stud, a ladies man, but one of the big pranksters of the school. They see me as stubborn and uncontrollable and that I should be a Slytherin for all my trickery and sneaking around
(( But you know what? )) Even though I like joking around as much as anyone, and love to prank, it‘s not like I go around backstabbing people. I’m a good guy, I like to hang with the lasses, and if you think I‘m a joke, then I don‘t like you
(( Check me out )) because I‘m not completely unfortunate looking. I think some of the MacGregor genes managed to trickle down. I stand at five foot seven, a little tall for a fourteen year old, but what you gonna do? At least I won‘t get mauled by some random jerk unless they‘ve got a wand. Wait, this whole school does, never mind. I‘m British and Scottish, so I‘m a white boy, pink tint sometimes. I’m a medium build, not all that athletic, but I’m not skinny or flabby either. Alright, slightly. But it hardly shows even with my shirt off.
My hair is a medium brown, and at the beginning and end of every school year I shave it off. But inbetween it grows out and the tips always seem to curl a bit. For some reason people like it. I find it really annoying. By the way, how do you like my sideburns? I think they‘re awesome. My eyes are a gray-brown mix. Sometimes it‘s a mixture, other times it‘s a solid one-or-the-other. Here‘s a hint; when they‘re gray I‘m in a bad mood, when they‘re brown I‘m in a good mood.
And my clothes? Well, isn‘t that an odd question to ask a guy? I usually like to go for plain t-shirts as I‘ve never been much of a one for slogans or “catchy sayings“. But other than that I‘m usually wearing sweaters or jackets, and often jeans. I have a few pairs of white and black pants, and some sweats, but mostly jeans. I do have some nice white shirts, though, and a black top layer that has thin, light gray stripes. When it‘s cold, I wear a scarf, too. Oh, and by the way, tennis shoes really are the only way to go.
(( Back in the day...)) Does it ever make you feel old to say that? I certainly do. My Great-Great grandfather Daniel MacGregor really likes the phrase, but I dunno, it just sounds weird to me. Speaking of the old man, let me give you a little bit of a breakdown. My father‘s side, the MacGregors, were once royal bloods in Scotland. Way back then and so on and so forth. I don‘t recall the count, by old Daniel might. My family‘s a little interesting: I got aunts, uncles, and even grandparents who run casinos, aunts and uncles that are archaeologists, plus the many playwrights, singers, authors and God knows what other odd or interesting jobs. I can hardly say my family is “normal“. Anyway, my mom Susan used to be a Hufflepuff at Hogwarts, and when she got out, she ran across my muggle father. And didn‘t tell him she was a witch, go figure.
Anyway, my parents were busy a lot, and though I was content at home, I never really felt all too happy. I know my parents loved me, but they just didn‘t have the time, y‘know? So I decided it was high time (with their permission) to move in with my great-great grandparents Anna and Daniel. I was about, oh, eight years old at the time. I thought it was funny the way Anna made a fuss over cigars and alcohol, especially around me or guests. But that didn’t stop old Daniel from trying to sneak them all the time anyways. Anna always knew, but sometimes let him think he got away with it. Oh, and by the way, living with them is how I picked up my Scottish accent since they live in Scotland and all. And in a castle of all things, mind you.
When I got to being about nine or ten, things started happening. Lamps would break, letters would disappear, my underwear was being found in odd places. And I don‘t mean odd like a normal person, I mean odd like up the chimney! They thought I was always trying to trick them and pull pranks. They went along with it for awhile, but seeing as how it didn‘t really stop, they started getting annoyed and sent me off to some special private school. I gotta tell ya, the only good thing about those schools are the plant and health classes. I would have rebelled otherwise, because their rules are far too strict. One must sit this way or that and shouldn’t talk in the halls. Jokes were practically unheard of and the cafeteria food was bearable, not enjoyable.
It wasn‘t too long after I was taken to this special correctional private school that we received a letter from me. After having read it, I think Daniel fainted from sheer shock and Anna was about to. I didn’t know what to do at that time, for I’d never seen them faint at anything. So my mom got word of the news and came along with dad and explained her whole business of being a witch from so said magical school. That cleared some things up, though I really think she should have spilled the beans sooner. The house was odd for awhile after that, and awkward, but I think they all got over it.
After my first train ride, I‘d heard plenty of rumors about what the different Houses were about and the students in them. Knowing my record, a lot of them figured me for a Slytherin. You see, after being wrongly accused of pranking, I decided, ‘why not have something to be blamed over‘ and began pranking myself. In fact, I pranked the train with silly string, a few bees, and feathers. Not the best way to start, mind you. But alas, I was placed into Hufflepuff. Shocked a lot of people, but I though it suited me. The people in this House were great, real nice, and a lot of them nurturing it seemed. After a couple of years, I learned to excel in potions and herbology. I would like to become someone in the medical profession, so I guess being in this House really helped me a lot.
But my friends were the real reason I was doing so well. You see, just about from the off I met this guy, Drake Alexander (who was an older Ravenclaw) and we got off to the funnies right away. I had also come across a girl named Mary Perison, but didn’t really know her yet. A year later, I met Wendelyn who was one year my junior in Gyrffindor House. And we two became near inseparable. Whether it was sneaking around at night or just having a laugh or hanging with the house elves with her cookies, it was always good times. Through these two relationships, my self-esteem really built and I began to slowly become closer to Mary. And through her I met Mac[Kenzie] Alexanders who in turn introduced me to Melanie Parks. With them at my side, I feel I can do anything (and I’m trying).
(( I'm someone )) who pulls a lot of pranks. I like to joke around and have fun and just hang. I‘m pretty friendly and outgoing, if I do say so myself, and I am especially notable for trying to get the attention of the ladies. What can I say? I‘m drawn to them. I am also pretty darn stubborn. It‘d probably be best to get on my good or my I-Don‘t-Know-You sides because I tend to stick to whatever opinions I form. If you do or say something that makes me decide that I don‘t like you, then I will probably never like you. Ever. Exceptions are rare. And once I don't like you, I may just get in your face and I won't beat around the bush with you.
But enough of that. Just because I like to pull pranks and joke around, it doesn‘t mean I‘m immoral. When I joke, you‘ll never hear anything sexist or racist come out of my mouth, unless I‘m quoting a bud or commenting on something someone else said. I don‘t believe in picking on retards, either. If you‘re gonna pick a fight, do it to protect someone! Oh, and by the way, once you‘re a good friend of mine, I am very protective. I don‘t believe in lying without good reason either, though avoiding the question or misdirecting you I am frequently guilty of. I'm also a firm believe in not hitting girls (Quidditch is an exception, but don't shatter their bones). Some people believe in that way I am sexist. That's their issue.
I don't try to be alone, much ever. I prefer to be mixed in with all the chatter and hubbub that is Hogwarts. But when I am, I'm usually tending to plants or studying medicine. I also like to hang around the Hospital Wing a lot. Sometimes Madame Pomfrey doesn't mind, but other times she gets really annoyed with my being there. People get shocked to see me in the library, too. I don't do my homework immediately, but I don't leave it to last minute either. Besides, sometimes it's good distraction. And if nothing else, it's helps me get a little better with my poor Transfiguration ability. I really hate Transfiguration. Most people love it, but I certainly don't. I do alright in the rest of my classes though. I think my insistent flirting annoys some of the professors sometimes, and I've been sent out of class before.
So back to the ladies, shall we? I've always had a keen interest in them, or at least, ever since I wound up in Scotland with Daniel and Anna I have. Must be his influence, because he's always been setting the family up with people. I decided instead of fighting it, embrace it. Most of my friends are girls, actually, but they can't be complete idiots or total fashion zombies. They need some essence to them for me to like them. When I'm with a girl, I like to dig around, find things that interest her. Sometimes it's muggle magic, other times it's a flower or some childish game that they secretly like to run around and play. Or a cd or something, y'know? And you can't date me without getting tickled or pranked once in awhile. I can't help myself!
Alright, I guess it's time to fess up, isn't it? It's immature, but I can't turn down a challenge in a belching contest. I prefer magic not be involved, but if it is, I like to see how zany I can make it. And I'm still fond of the classic prank of the whoopee cushion. There's just something about the air-filled rubber device and the sound it makes when the unsuspecting victim sits on it. And something I learned from my father when I was young was the finger wag, single and double. I use that when I get mad. And my voice, in a very loud manner. I only get quiet if I'm truly ticked off, and I do mean beyond all reason. It's my warning of: Do anything else and I WILL rage. I don't like to admit it, but I have hexed someone before when I got really mad. Sometimes when I what muggles call "rage", I black out and do things and won't ever remember them. It's truly awful.
And you know what? It terrifies me when I rage. Not being able to remember anything and knowing that I did something really horrible...it's a scary thing. A few people in my family have that problem, so I think it's genetic. And that's even scarier. And I'm scared of leaving Hogwarts. I know I'll have to eventually, but I don't want to. It's like home to me, even if I do blow it up and vandalize it. I'm also scared of crocodiles, zebra, llamas and being outside at night when even the crickets refuse to make noise. That always means something bad. Oh, and I don't think I'll ever want to come across a werewolf, either. That could be very bad.
I have this thing where if I sit still for too long, I move my head around in an almost circular motion. Sometimes my neck cracks, sometimes it doesn't. And I usually roll my eyes when I do this. Also, when I start tuning out the professors I'll usually end up tapping my foot to some beat that's only playing in my head, and my head might even start bobbing. My oddities remind me that I'm not perfect. And while we're on that subject...Sometimes...sometimes I don't realize I'm hurting people. I avoid racist and sexist jokes, but my jokes have a way sometimes of offending people anyway. Or if someone wants something I'll toss it to them and they get mad. I don't know why, but it tends to go towards their face. I also can't admit I like a girl, I mean really like a girl unless she says something first. If I flirt with her and think she's alright and wanna date her, that's one thing, but really liking her is another.
(( All right! )) Mackenzie Alexanders, Mary Perison, Drake Alexander, Wendelyn Lipton. Joke products are the best wizarding tools ever created. I can‘t get enough of Zonko‘s! And there‘s really nothing like the thrill of sneaking around late at night when you‘re not supposed to. As for people, I like them upbeat. People who are just pissed off or mopey all the time are boring and stupid. I like to see some energy, some life! I also like to raise my own crops in a small planter, what few I can, and I like to learn medicine. Potions and Herbology are my favorite classes, other than feeding time.
(( I'm sorry )) Robert McClellan. I say if you‘ve got a problem with muggles, then you‘ve got a problem with me. I was raised by them, not my witch mother. And my mother never said anything on her magic ability anyway, nor did I ever catch her using magic. And when people are really quiet, like, all the time, I think it‘s creepy. Say something! And I am not a fan of transfiguration or astronomy
(( Random Information )) I‘m actually really good with my hands. When I was back at the house, Daniel insisted I learn to do things with my hands. I‘m fairly good at fixing wands and brooms, so long as the damage isn‘t too terrible
