This song, though...

I always make one of these for each chapter, but this is one of my favorites so far, so I thought I'd drop it here.

Don't hit spacebar--there be youtube vids.

Just thought I'd leave this here. I'm kind of in love with it.

Ultimate Chapter 33 Music Post

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

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?)

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.

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

4/14

This post requires more music.
I'm thinking back to the times when I posted on blogspot every day (there was maybe one month where this happened) and feeling like I should be like that more often.
SO...
Here's another excerpt, because I'm too lazy to say anything brilliant.

“Donna.” Marlene poked her shoulder, and Donna started. 

 “What?” she asked loudly. “What? What do you want?” 

 “Is there a particular reason why you’re staring at Shelley Mumps like that?” asked Marlene, amused. Mary raised her eyebrows. 

 “Are you trying to make her explode with wandless magic?” she asked brightly. “Because I would fully support that decision.”

Love,
Jules

4/13

My current jam... although it's inspiring my original material muse more than my Chapter 32 muse. 

Still. Relevant. Ingrid Michaelson is both my Clancy Goshawk and Marlene Price muse. 

Aaaand a tiny excerpt:

James shrugged. “I guess.” He didn’t think he conveyed nonchalance very convincingly; Lily didn’t seem to buy it, at any rate. “I just... he shouldn’t have done it. It should have been Remus.”

“It couldn’t be Remus, James. You know that.”

He did. It was bloody unfair, but it couldn’t have been Remus. 

P.S. Random update: BOTH songs I want to use for the song title are too late. "I Want You To Want Me" is from 1977 and "Is She Really Going Out With Him" is from '78.
SIGH.
The struggles of being me.

And music

Lol, my playlist for this chapter cracks me up. It's divided very clearly into two parts: sad and happy.

"Come Around" by Rosi Golan

"Honest" by Band of Skulls

"Helplessness Blues" by Fleet Foxes.

And then the fun music.

"Keaseby Nights" by Catch 22

"Kick Some Ass" by Stroke 9 

(lol, I have no excuse for this song. I don't even have words for this song. It's just pure lol for me)

"A Good Idea at the Time" by OK Go

Chapter 30 Music

But before I get too far into the chapter I just really, really want to thank you all for reading and reviewing. And I always say that, but I really do mean it. Whether it's posting on here, or reviewing, or leaving nice things in my Ask on Tumblr, you guys give me so much encouragement and support, and you make it so much fun for me to write LAT. Words cannot express my gratitude to all of you for being so wonderful.

Alright, onto the Chapter stuff.

Below Be Spoilers for Chapter 30. Do not read before you have finished. 

So, parts of Chatper 30 are kind of confusing. I thought I would post for you all the sketchy timeline I used to sort out who was where at what time.

9:50 Lily on the platform

10:00 Train leaves

10:05 Shelley visits the other G. Girls

10:25 Carlotta and James go the prefects compartment

10:30 Prefect meeting begins

10:45 Carlotta runs into Shelley

11:00 Carlotta and Shelley meet up with James and return to the Marauders

12:00 Marlene and Donna go to find food; they run into Charlie and then Adam

1:30 Mary and Stebbins meet up

2:00 Sirius doesn’t know who Shelley is

2:30 Lily begins patrols

3:30 Lily and Remus finish patrol; Shelley leaves the Marauders

3:45 Marlene returns from Prudence’s compartment

4:00 James and Carlotta leave to make out

4:15 Carlotta freaks out and goes to find Lily, but confides in Marlene instead

5:00 Marlene runs into Shelley; Donna leaves Bridget

5:15 Donna speaks with Cassidy Gamp

6:00 Donna encounters Adam

7:00 Train arrives

7:20 Lily comforts Marlene in the Entrance Hall

7:30 Sorting starts

7:45 Dinner starts

8:45 Dinner ends; Shelley and Stebbins are found out

9:00 Head meeting begins

9:10 Mary rants about Shelley

9:30 Head meeting ends; Marlene speaks to Adam in the Common Room

9:50 Lily returns and yells at everyone

10:00 Carlotta returns to the dorms

10:30 End

^That =100 Pages

Oh, and lest any of you be thinking of yelling at me, one of the excerpts I gave you did end up getting cut. It was Carlotta's POV on the shouting at the end... I decided to keep that only to Lily for a couple of reasons... one, drama, and two, it's 100 fucking pages already. 

Something else that sadly got cut was Reg Cattermole, who originally played a little role in this chapter. His plotline was not sustainable, sadly. But, have no fear, he'll be back soon enough.

More Marauders in the next chapter than there were in this chapter, too. 

As for Chapter 30, which part was your favorite? (I-V)

And are you on Shelley's side or Carlotta's?

On the potential AVPM reference:
Lol, actually... that wasn't a AVPM reference. It's just a HP reference, and there's some other stuff going on with that... (I'm sorry, my brain is dead, I am not explaining myself well at all), but if you want it to be an AVPM reference, let it be, baby.

"It's My Party"

The Chiffons

Chapter 30's song title... can't recall if I've posted this yet.

Love,

Jules

Music and Things

Chapter 30 is so much fun to write.

Here's some music. Although, there's one song that is pretty much just writing the chapter for me, but I'll post that with the update.
Fine. Tiny, tiny spoiler:

"And, oh my Merlin, don’t even get started on Stebbins!"

(Chapter 30, Part I & V)
Love,
Jules
