A while ago, in history class, we were watching a movie and before it started our teacher told us one of the characters in the movie was played by the original Dumbledore. The whole class (including me) gasped and watched the movie excitedly. MCIM (My Class Is Magical)

For my birthday, my best friend gave me a gift in a very light box. Curious, i unwrapped it and opened it. Inside, was my acceptance letter to Hogwarts. The train is picking me up in a couple of days. MLIM

Today in my gifted program class, we were asked to brainstorm across giant pieces of white paper. A few of the headings were "guest speakers","sets for summit"(a gifted program event), and "music." Under "guest speakers" a friend of mine who is a major Tw*l*ght fan wrote Carlisle Cullen. I wrote Dumbledore. The same friend wrote Forks under "sets for summit." I wrote the Great Hall. My friend wrote Bella's Lullaby under "music". I put Goin' Back to Hogwarts from AVPM. Guess whose ideas got scribbled over and whose ideas got half the class talking about how totally awesome Harry Potter is. MGCIM. (My Gifted Class is Magical).

I've been walking around with a name tag with 'Voldemort' written on for the past 3 days, ever since we all got name tags for New Comers Day. Nobody had noticed my sudden name change, until today in English. I was sitting down ready to start my essay when my teacher, suddenly behind me, gasps loudly and yells 'YOU KNOW WHO IN MY CLASS ROOM!" scared me half to death but made my day. MTIM.

For the last little while, I've been posting signs that say things like 'Fanged Frisbess Are Strictly Prohibited' on notice boards in my school. Today, I put one up that read 'He's Cedric Diggory - NOT Edward Cullen'. I later saw that someone had ripped out most of the words so it read 'He's Edward Cullen'. Of course, this means war.

Today in my Honors French class, we were discussing what we do when it's rainy outside. When I was called on, my response was (of course), "Je lis Harry Potter dans mon fauteuil favorit!" (I read Harry Potter in my favorite chair!) Later on, my teacher suggested that I borrow her copy of Harry Potter--in French. Hey, maybe French isn't as cool as Parseltongue, but it's a start. MTIM.

Today in English, we read the Greek myth about Orpheus and Eurydice. When Orpheus came up to Cerberus the three headed dog and played music to calm him down, my head instantly shot up and I started smiling like an idiot. My teacher mouthed "Harry Potter?" I mouthed back "Fluffy!" My Teacher Is Magical.

I was recently going through a really hard time. I had been almost chronically depressed for months, and I had been self injuring. I knew it was wrong and I felt horrible about it and other things, but I just couldn't stop. Then I pulled myself together- I came on here and read through the entire site, again. I watched all the Harry Potter movies in order and read all the books again. I watched AVPM again, twice. I felt so much better. Harry Potter, AVPM, and you all here at AW are almost personally responsible for the fact that I have been cut free for the past two months. Thank you. MLIM.

Today in Horticulture my teacher asked what a Mandrake was. I said a plant that has healing powers. Then she asked what it looks like. I said the root system looks similar to a human baby. She said I was right and that they really are real. Mind Blow. Thanks Hermione. MLIM

Today, in Chemistry, we were testing for oxygen. Me and my partner had our test tube ready (with peroxide and manganese IV oxide catalyst) and so the only thing left to do was insert a glowing splint into it and see if it would relite. I couldn't help but swishing my glowing splint and pointing it inside the test tube while shouting "INCENDIO!". My 'wand' caught fire. I felt *totally awesome*. MLIM
