Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it

You know, there are these quotes from Harry Potter that have actually become so close to our heart. We know them like we know to breathe and they come to us as easy as breathing does. And yet sometimes these quotes are the ones that surprise us the most.

Some while back, I did a stupid mistake in office. And it would have had a huge impact. (God, even though my boss knows about this, please don't let him read this blogpost ever!!) Anyways, the moment I realized what I did (which was a moment after doing it)... I officially freaked out! I was so scared and my hands started to tremble.. even if I wanted to type, I couldn't get my hands to be steady.

Biggest of the issues was, Ram, one office colleague who knows everything and is the superman (he would prefer batman) who comes to rescue... was on leave. And not just leave... he was in a different continent altogether. But when I do something stupid, he always helps me and now he wasn't here only. Still as with my first instinct, I whatsapped him. I told him what I did and he was cool about it.

What I didn't realize till then was... while Ram was on leave... his friend had come and was sitting there on Ram's seat (beside me). While I was texting Ram and freaking out, he had taken the control over my system and set to work.. he was helping me without even being asked to. It was like he was God sent at that moment.
By the time I regained my senses... he had already done most of the damage control. He didn't even let me tell anyone to prevent me from getting scolded and then he was also going to do something more so that it doesn't even get detected...

When Ram returned... I was telling him about this incident.. and he just quoted the subject line to me... to be honest, I know this quote by heart but while all this happened,  I didn't even think of it for a moment... and here Ram knew I am a HP fan and he said it so simply that it sounded like the most obvious thing...

Funny na!! That day I felt a little closer to Harry Potter and thanks to someone who isn't as big a fan as I claim myself to be...

Harry Potter Memoirs

Harry Potter : Mystery 1

It is a little ironic that I write with the pen-name 'Luna Lovegood' but I rarely post anything about the wizarding

world. Maybe I look at the muggle world with Luna's perspective. And anyhow, no matter what world Luna is a part of, she will be in her own world only.

Anyways, so here is a really important thing that I read about HP series. It was a major blooper/ loophole in the story. And it was big enough to destroy the entire beautiful work. Well, maybe not this big but I was pretty concerned regarding it. A couple of days back, I read an article which not only answered all the unanswered questions and restore the magic but it was so sheer brilliant that the magic increased by manifolds.

So... have you ever wondered that how come Fred and George never saw their brother sleep with another guy :P . I mean they had the map since their first year, they should have seen Peter Pettigrew a number of times. And considering that Fred and George never kept to themselves, they must have known that Pettigrew was not a student or a faculty. Also, Pettigrew was famous being the guy who sacrificed himself for the Potters. They must have known this for sure. So how come they never objected their brother sleeping with a dead guy ? :S

I read something about this. I wouldnt call it a theory as it is the only thing that explains this perfectly. Not only is it the first ever explanation to the problem but it is the perfect solution to the problem.

The Marauders created the map. The Marauders were also Animagi (except Lupin who was a werewolf and you know it since you are reading this article). Every month the three needed to sneak out of the Castle to go to the Shrieking Shack with Moony. And knowing the Marauders, I am pretty sure that they would need to venture outside the Castle afterhours and in general as Animagi or under the cloak so as not to be seen.

Now, how could they risk themselves getting caught?

Definitely, they would have put some exception for the invisibility cloak and Animagi :D

So, I firmly believe that Marauders are really clever and so is the person who thought of this theory. I am so glad to have read it and finally cleared the missing bits in my mind.

Luna Lovegood : Poem

Golden Hair

That shine so silver

With mystic eyes and an enchanted smile

She reads the quibbler

You know she's different

Unique, she has always stood

Princess of her own kingdom

She's Luna Lovegood!

She's simple, she's witty

She's the friend present in your need

You will find her by your side

In all your ups and downs

She's a friend indeed.

Others are always mean to her

They don't hesitate to make fun

You tease her, you displease her

Still she shines as bright as the night's sun

You will still be in her good books

She will still be there for you

You will come to know of it, in the long run.

Her heart pumps kindness

Her soul is divine

So what if she believes in something even Hermione doesn’t know

So what if she is a grape in the bunch of lime

That doesn’t make her wrong

It doesn’t make you right

Treasure a person for who they are

And now by what you perceive from your sight

Towards the end, all I can say

From all that I have understood

Maybe different, but just as special

Is Luna Lovegood!
