Warning: weirdness abounds.

Okay, if I'm being completely honest with myself, I couldn't think of anything to write about, so I was Google searching for journal prompts when I found this website. I was intrigued by number twenty: What would you do if 300 mice had just gotten out of their cages in a pet shop where you worked? That's...oddly specific.
My first thought was "run to a non-mice infested area", but at this point they're probably all crawling around on the floor and I don't want to hurt them by stepping on them. Second, if the door isn't already open, then I would just let the mice in by opening the door. Then I thought "scream for the manager", but then they would step on the mice or let them in. I honestly have no idea what to do in this situation. Any ideas? See you next week, people. WHAT IS IT, HERMIONE?!
I literally cannot stop thinking about this.
Someone from Hollywood is going to do this sooner or later.
If this is true, then my soulmate is a very weird person.
I would read this. (Warning: there is one swear word towards the end.)
Oh. My. God.
SOMEONE PLEASE DO THIS. NOW.
This. Just this. (Warning: one swear word towards the beginning.)
That's...actually a weirdly good idea.
MIND PERMANENTLY BLOWN. (Swear word at the end.)
I apologize for being a little late with this post.
One thing I've always been curious about is where the teachers at Hogwarts sleep. We've seen them running about in pajamas a couple of times, so we know they're sleeping in the castle. But where? Do their offices come with fold-out couches? Does the staff room turn into a dormitory at night?! And what if the teachers are married? Do they and their spouse get a hut like Hagrid's? Do they get a room in Hogsmeade? Or do they just not get to see their spouses for several months on end? What if they have kids? So their kids just don't get to see their mother/father for several months of each year until they go to Hogwarts and get taught by their mom and dad? And what about Madam Hooch, the Quidditch referee? Does she even have an office? She has to live somewhere...or does she? All she has to do is referee the Quidditch matches and teach flying lessons to the first years (which, if the first book is anything to go by, is only one lesson). When she's not doing that, she could be living somewhere else in England and just know the dates of the matches and show up when there's one. Another random Hogwarts teacher question: how much do these people get paid? I guarantee you: not enough. Dealing with these crazy students, and Umbridge, and Peeves, and Umbridge, and dementors, and Umbridge, and Voldemort invading the school, and UMBRIDGE...no amount is enough to deal with all of that. Especially UMBRIDGE. I have been rereading the books lately (which explains any massive influx of Harry Potter posts you may see) and one scene jumped out to me. It's in Half-Blood Prince, when Harry and Dumbledore go to convince Slughorn to teach again. Slughorn says OK, but shortly afterwards, he says, "I'll want a pay raise, Dumbledore!" Dumbledore laughs a little, which makes me wonder: what do you have to do to get a raise at this place?! If anyone deserves a raise, it's Snape, and if anyone needs a raise, it's Lupin, so hopefully Dumbledore paid those two decently. Okay, one last question and I promise I'll stop (for now). Starting in Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore pays Dobby for his services. (He might also pay Winky, but I'm on the last book right now, so I honestly don't remember.) Does Dobby ever get a raise? If anyone at Hogwarts deserves a raise, it's the elf that definitely would have been in Gryffindor. Oh, great. I mentioned it. Now I'm sad. Bye, people, and (hopefully if I don't forget like the moron I am) I will see you next week. (Well, not literally see you, but...you know.) |
