Ultimate Chapter 33 Music Post

("Dog Days" gave me the idea of putting this chapter in in the first place)

“So,” concluded Donna, “what we have to figure out is the pathetic inner workings of the mind of a tiny, sensitive Ravenclaw girl. Do we know any of those?”

“None who are speaking to me at the moment,” said Sirius.

“Me neither,” Donna agreed.

They both turned to Marlene.

“What?” she asked. “Me?”

“You’re chummy with one, aren’t you?” asked Donna.

“No, I...” She broke off. “Oh, you cannot be serious...”

I'm not updating today, but LOOK! A SHINY OBJECT!! OVER THERE!!!

“I know your nerves. When it comes to it, you’re going to choke up. Ten galleons you don’t score one goal.”

Music

So, I'm not really listening to anything cutting edge at the moment, but here's what I've been all about recently for the next chapter.

"You Are a Tourist" by Death Cab for Cutie

"When the Sun Goes Down" by Ben Gibbard

"The Golden Age" by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour

"I Can't Decide" by Scissor Sisters

"F.N.T." by Semisonic (lol wut?)

TLAT In-Character Q&A Round 2

So I'm doing another in-character Q&A. I'm doing it on tumblr this time so it will be easier to ask, and it'll go through tomorrow for those in bed at the moment!
my tumblr is itatemyhand.tumblr.com (ask-box link: itatemyhand.tumblr.com/ask)
Just submit a question to any character, and they shall do their best to answer =P

*le crickets*

Posting Lots of Excerpts, Aren't I? But they're short

“It’ll be rough on Potter and Shacklebolt,” Miles retorted. “What with having to score all the goals on their own.”

Music Again

Henry Wolfe's "Someone Else"
I owe you guys an excerpt, so I'll post one soon...

My Body, Young the Giant

First of all, I literally want to have this song's children.
YES LITERALLY.
Second, said children would all be L/J shippers because Young the Giant (also the James Potter sex riot on tumblr) is inspiring the hell outta my L/J muse.
Which is much more helpful for Chapter 34 than Chapter 33.

What Jules does when she doesn't want to do homework...

(make memes, not get a lay. Although...)

First 33 Excerpt

“Well, if it were me,” began Marlene, “I’d like to find out by having one of my mates scheme to keep it a secret from me while I’m in the next room, but... oh wait...” 

 “Well in that case, you’re welcome,” retorted Donna coolly.

-Chapter 33

Chapter 32 Post

So FINALLY I've updated!
Thank you guys so, so, so much for everything. You are all really exceptionally wonderful.

Oh, one thing I wanted to address was my using Operation Mancy instead of Operation Cloony. Operation Cloony is OBVIOUSLY the better name, no doubt about it. But I didn't want to steal anyone's idea, so I didn't use it. In my brain, the ship is Cloony, even if the Op isn't =P

So I'll chat a bit about Chapter 33 now.
It's called "Of Marlene."
It's a Marlene chapter (SHOOT WHO KNEW?!)
Expect:
    Quidditch
    Adam
    Prudence
    Operation Mancy
    The return of Miles Stimpson

Brooke Fraser's "Something in the Water"
Carrying me through the last bits of writing for Chapter 32 =)

“Good evening, housemates,” Shelley’s voice cut through the brisk air. She had turned in her seat and, as though just noticing Lily and Carlotta, smiled broadly at them
 “Hello,” sighed Lily, probably anticipating an altercation.
 “Hello, Shelley,” said Carlotta. “What a pleasant surprise: I didn’t realize you could leave your coffin before sunset.”
 Shelley rolled her eyes, rising from her bench and climbing up to the higher level where her two housemates sat. Lily was immediately next to the wooden wall at the edge of the stand, meaning that the only available seat was beside Carlotta, who scooted closer to the redhead when Shelley sat down.

-Chapter 32

I was writing this scene and got extremely amused by the idea of redhead, brunette, and blonde sitting in a row--Carlotta and Shelley bickering and Lily just rolling her eyes wanting to die--during Quidditch tryouts. Lol so I drew it.

The Fat Lady—for that is whom he addressed—huffed. “It’s a matter of aesthetics, boy. Decorum. The dignity of these hallowed halls, through which your own forefathers, distant and recent, walked themselves, I’m certain...”

“My distant forefathers,” Sirius interrupted, “were, in all likelihood, muggle-hating chauvinists, if my more recent ones and the general habits of their contemporaries are anything to judge by. So I’ll smoke where I damn well please.”
