Apology

Miss Evans:
I apologise for anything insulting I may have said.
Happy Holidays,
Victoire

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I hope you all got what you wanted and lots of wonderful Harry Potter Gifts.

Adieu, Cheri Lecteurs

Dearest, Darlingest, Most Idiotic Miss Lily Evans:
You removed the permissions.
You placed unlawful claims against my loyalty to the light.
You insulted the side on which you said I belonged.
You threatened me.

You're lucky if you ever even get to LeakyCon, and if you do, I'm not sitting on the plane with you, nor am I meeting up with you anywhere.

If any souls are gone, if any lives disappear, if any Dementors are found in the vicinity, it will not be for me. I will not be gone.
-Miss Victoire Delacour Weasley
Former Co-Owner of Hogwarts Kitchens

You are a deatheater, Vee

the best you can do is Bellatrix Lestrange, but you all go in the end. Even if you pull a Snape or a R.A.B. you will still die. Because not a single one of the good Deatheaters (Or reformed deatheaters) survived. And the bad ones are easily conquered which is why we didn't bother with killing them. There will be blood Vee, or at least a few souls sucked out, and it wont be mine.

There Will be Bloodier Blood. Filthy, Muddy blood

That's right. It just got REAL personal.
Miles was before my time. BUT SWEENEY TODD WASN'T! Nor Devil Snare, ditto for Venomous Tentacula.
I am going to find you, take my TWO WANDS with me, and go all "boy who lived" on you. He can't die, folks.

Venomously,
Vee

There will be blood

YOU DELETED MY COMMENT VEE??????????????? THAT IS IT. THIS SHIT JUST GOT PERSONAL VICTOIRE AND IT ISN'T ENDING WELL FOR YOU.


My want is drawn, my machete ready. I will go Miles Davis (was that before your time?) AND Molly Weasley on you.

Some More LeakyCon, and Some More Screaming

Also,

do you realize how completely idiotic rants/rage looks in that silly font you chose? Vee you are truly and idiot.

A few letters

Dear Vee,

If you lock me out then I will kill you. And then i will make a better blog with the same name on a different platform and it will be far awesomer than your failblog and we will steal all of your nonexistent viewers because my blog will be so much more awesome.

Dear Luna,
IF YOU DON'T POST BY THE END OF THE MONTH I AM COMING TO YOUR HOUSE AND MURDERING YOU IN YOUR SLEEP! EXPLAIN YOURSELF! NO ONE CAN BE ABSENT FROM YOUR CO-BLOG FOR THIS LONG WITHOUT REVENGE!


Dear non-existent readers,
I am going to Leakycon2012! I will probably do a lot of blogging about it here (or on my awesome rival blog if it comes down too it) so if you can't go but want to hear about it, keep reading!

Some Screaming and an Idea

HI! It is Vee. Before I actually say things, I want to get the screaming out of the way.
LILY EVANS WHAT THE HELL IF YOU CHANGE THE FONT ONE MORE TIME I'M GOING TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD AND YOU CAN BE A GUEST BLOGGER.
I
MEAN
IT.
I will also change your name to Banana. Yes, I can do that.
Anyway, I had an idea about the giveaways. If we are certain that we have readers (that's you! Comment below to let us know!) we might actually be able to have a giveaway. I know I have A LOT of Harry Potter books, and books related to Harry Potter, and notebooks, and a bookstore, and... Yeah. BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE READERS! PLEASE! We love you. We will love you more if we know you're reading! So, please give us love? Then we might give you prizes.
Love from a very frustrated Vee

Giveaways!

Vee and I are poor people (or at least I am, maybe Vee is being a heartless Deatheater?) so we aren't hosting our own giveaway but luckily I have came across a few Harry Potter people who aren't. Serena Lawless is hosting a Cassandra Clare/HP giveaway with a Signed Copy of Cassandra's book City of Fallen Angels (book 4 in the Mortal Instruments series) and a full set of Harry Potter bookmarks (see Vee, I'm not the only one who thinks HP bookmarks are awesome) If you want to enter Click Here. If I see any more Potter related giveaways I will be sure to post them : )

<3 Evans

Ps. You might notice the fonts changing a lot over the next few posts. I put readability over style (hence the Times New Roman) but Vee just wants them to look pretty (all the curly scripts)

On an Unrelated note...

this is totally unrelated to the blog, but I thought I would share it anyway. It's a set of three videos, that can be watched together or separately about Domestic Violence and Domestic Violence Awareness. They are really good videos that I think everyone should see.

<3 Evans, a girl who wont tolerate domestic violence in any form

An Apology, Some Bragging, and a (short) Angry Rant

Bonjour! Vee here!
So, sorry I've been so AWOL lately, but 8th grade is INSANE. And I haven't even had a chance to throw some glitter and make it rain on 'em. Okay enough bad Ke$ha jokes (I was listening to Blow! I couldn't help it!) BUT I'VE MISSED ALL YOU READERS THAT I IMAGINE WE HAVE!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL! Um, yeah, my imagination is large.
That was the apology portion, obviously not very interesting. Now for the bragging. BE JEALOUS!
Anyway I finally got my Pottermore email, and got on Pottermore and it is fantastic and you should all be super jealous!
Yes, I lie. That was a phenomenally gigantic lie. POTTERMORE SUCKS. I can't believe I waited with bated breath to get in, crying sometimes when my hopes were raised and then dashed upon the bottom of the Black Lake. And then I got in, and I was crying for happiness. And then I was bored. Oh my God it's hardly fun at all. Yes, it's fun to get a wand (Hawthorn, 10 3/4 inches, unicorn tail hair core, unyielding.) and you can't beat getting sorted (RAVENCLAW, WOOT WOOT!) but so far, it's HARD! And more often than not, you can't even go on!
Due to overwhelming demand, you cannot access Pottermore right now.
You know what?! You can't access Pottermore right now because some of the people running it seem to be incompetent fools. Yes, I am pissed. Yes, I am bored. So, no, you shouldn't be so goshdarn excited about Pottermore (Gosh darn was going to be something stronger but I don't know who is reading this).

Now.... I had something else I wanted to say, but it has completely and utterly slipped my mind-Oh!! Right! Angry rant!
It is short.
SOMEONE CHANGED THE FONT ON THE HOMEPAGE!!!!!!! I WILL BE OUT FOR REVENGE (aka blood!) UNTIL THEY CHANGE IT BACK!!
I refuse to change it myself, since I didn't change it.
That's basically it, although we have some sad news.
Luna, our dear partner in unmanaged mischief, has been more MIA than the rest of us, so until further notice, it will only be Lily and my blog. BUT WE WANT LUNA TO KNOW WE MISS HER AND LOVE HER AND HOPE SHE COMES BACK!
That's really it.
Stay Magical!
Love,
Vee

We've kinda stopped posting

School started and I got ridiculously busy (not to mention that I was gone for a month over the summer) so I (Evans) haven't posted in a while. Sorry about that.

Anyway, since I decided that we should have at least one post from September, I’m making this to catch you up on our very potter lives. Vee got her Pottermore email (finally) and was sorted into Ravenclaw. I’ll make her post more information later (because I’m sure you want to hear her brag about how she got into Pottermore and you didn’t) I reread the series yet another time and have started making potter bookmarks. They either have a picture on one side and an explanation on the other. I’ve made character, spell and magical animal bookmarks. I might post some pictures soon if I have time.

I’ll try to get some recipes up to fill in the cooking side of this website soon but I’m not sure exactly when.

<3 Evans

Note from Vee

Good morning!
This is Vee.
I wanted to inform you all that I will not be posting further until I receive my Pottermore email.
As you can infer from that last, I have still not received it.
It should be coming soon.
But until then,
I won't be here.
I know you are asking where will I be.
The answer:
Moping alone in a corner without my Pottermore email, writing copious amounts of essays and completing a math packet.
Don't you wish you were me?
Love,
Vee

Pottermore: The Not-So-Perfect Email

I know I am sounding a bit like a whining, complaining girl named Myrtle, but this Pottermore thing is really pissing me off! So, finally, the day after I posted that email, I was talking to my BFFL named Rachel. She is in Greece, so we have to talk to her over Gmail. Of course, I was checking my inbox every half-second while emailing her, and then one time I checked, and, TA DA! It was there. I was overjoyed, anyone would be, and I clicked on it, my heart full of sunshine and happiness and crap like that. I received the following message:

You have been selected for early entry into Pottermore!

We’re really excited to confirm that you are one of the lucky people selected for early entry into Pottermore, ahead of when it is open-to-all in October, to help us add finishing touches!

We will activate your account between mid-August and the end of September, so keep checking your inbox for our Welcome email. When this arrives you will be able to enter Pottermore. In the meantime, you can check the Pottermore Insider for all the latest news, updates and announcements.

We look forward to welcoming you to Pottermore.

Any person, smart or stupid, would be pissed. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS? I HAVE TO WAIT FOR YET ANOTHER EMAIL. ANY SELF-RESPECTING PERSON WOULD JUST GET TO THE EFFING POINT. 

I am sorry for my strong language. I am just mad. This is not appropriate behaviour from the woman who created my life's food. I am shaking my head in disappointment. Speaking of shaking, I am shaking from anger too, and sadness.

Is there anything left to say?? I feel not. 

With sadness in my heart, I bid you all Farewell.

From your angered friend,

Vee

p.s. I put my twitter feed on here. Don't read it unless you are bored. Which you probably are, if you are reading this blog.

p.p.s. I want to give a GIHUGIC shout out to Helga Andromeda Tsuki Sophie Fontinilla Lovegood Natsu Starr. She got me in to Pottermore. Now who is going to get me out, LOL!

Pottermore: The Death of Vee

As Luna and Lily will be very jealous to know (they don't know yet, they're still at camp. I got back 2 weeks before they will!) I got into Pottermore. They didn't. Unfortunate, really, and I should, I suppose, be pitying them, but I am not the kindhearted soul some of you may think I am, therefore I will not pity them.
So, if you got into Pottermore as well, you will have got this email:

Your Pottermore account

Welcome and thank you for registering for Pottermore by J.K. Rowling - the magical new online experience based around the Harry Potter books.

A million registrants are going to be granted early entry into Pottermore to help give it the finishing touches, and the exciting news is that if you validate your account quickly, you could be one of the lucky few selected. Please be quick because places are going to be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis*.

* See the Magical Quill Terms & Conditions for full details.

Follow this link to activate your account:

(Please note that this link will expire in 48 hours, so if you don’t manage to activate it within that time, you’ll need to register again).

Once you activate your account, you will discover more about when you can access Pottermore.

So we all get incredibly excited, and wait with baited breath for the email we are sure will come quite soon. But we wait. And we wait. And the email doesn't come. And then today, I was puttering around on Twitter as usual and I saw.... this.

People are starting to get their Pottermore emails! Make sure to let us know if you receive yours! Constant vigilance!

6 hours ago Favorite Retweet Reply

Even someone less clever (and modest) than I would think, I expected my email within, at the most, six hours. I checked my email every ten minutes, my hopes growing dimmer as the hours ticked by. My email checking grew more sporadic. A watched pot never boils, so I tried not watching it. Well, not watching it for about twenty minutes. That didn't work. So, I tried checking a different email. Perhaps they sent it to the wrong email? Yeah right. Wishful thinking. How would they even know my other emails?

Wait, be right back. I need to go check my email.

--5 minutes later--

No email. This is depressing me. I think I should probably just stop talking about it and thinking about it and mentioning it. Then it will come. Maybe. 

From the depths of dispair,

Your Friend the Death Eater

Pottermore: The Release

 Sounds like one of those horror movies right?

Seeing as Miss Evans posted the first Pottermore, I think she should be posting this but seeing as the last text I got from her was almost a week ago about how she was lost in the middle of nowhere with minimal phone service, so I'm not sure... Let's hope she revives herself (or her phone!) Before July 15th, which, as our readers should know, is THE DAY. I will post about that, and perhaps Lily and I can do a joint post the day after.


This was supposed to be about Pottermore. I guess I should get to that! So after teasing and taunting us about it into late last week, a week ago from today, to be precise, Harry Potter mastermind Jo Rowling (more commonly known as JK Rowling) revealed the plans for her new project, Pottermore. The website says this:
What is Pottermore?

Pottermore is a free website that builds an exciting online experience around the reading of the Harry Potter books.

Come back on 31st July to find out how you can get the chance to enter Pottermore early.



And she left us a youtube video, which is in my opinion has absolutely fantastic graphics. The words are literally walking out of the books (Yes, this is where you all laugh and say how hilarious I am.)

The youtube video
(I couldn't get it to embed. Meh.)

Like I said, the graphics are amazing, so it is worth watching.



Anyway, what do I think of this whole Pottermore business? Frankly I am a bit mad that Jo woke me up at 7am to tell me to come back, at the earliest, July! And then, to make things worse, the early entry is July 31st, and all three of us (Lily, Luna, and I) are going to be at our summer camp! I mean, it's alright for them. They like camp. I'm only going because they wouldn't speak to me if I didn't. Maybe I'll send a letter to Joanne Rowling. Not like I wasn't going to anyway, but still.

Email your opinions on Pottermore to the Hogwarts Kitchens team. Please no spam though, otherwise I might have to come after you with my evil death eater powers. Any opinions might be published in the next post on Pottermore!

Okay, I am getting a bit bored of this post and I can't think of anything else to say, although I might if you email me your opinions (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). Anyway, thanks to Rowena Luna for the idea, even if she doesn't know she gave it to me!

Happy cooking and reading and crucio-ing!

Luv,

Vee

"POTTERMORE"

Sorry about the lack of posting, my life has been busy (so has Vee's, and Luna seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth) but to make up for it i am going to give you some wonderful information. JKR has sent us all on a wild goose chase! 

Basically what you had to do is go on 10 different HP fansites (she didn’t specify but most sites will give you at least one other site participating) and find their post giving you coordinates. Then type in the coordinates on www.secretstreetview.com and zoom in all the way. You should find a letter and a fact explaining why those coordinates relate to the HP series.

Once you have found all 10 letters, unscramble them so they form the first part of a web address. Add “.com” to the end, type the whole thing into your web browser and you will be taken to possibly the most important site you will see in your entire life

Now since I’m a nice person and because HPANA has already figured it out im giving you the site www.POTTERMORE.com (also, all you’ll get for now is a “coming soon” so it doesn’t matter


—Evans


Ps. I did figure this out before HPANA did, which is really quite impressive considering how all the sites that had coordinates were crashing ( mugglenet.net took an hour to load once it finally stopped crashing )

Rant Post #1: Vic vs. Vee

Okay, we all have to rant and rave and fill up some space at some point in our lives, so I decided it was time that this blog had a space filler up-er. And okay, yes, Evans did start berating me for not posting, but that is entirely beside the point. Here we go, off on the wonderful rant roller coaster!
Lately, people have been insisting on calling me Vic! I mean, really! It just sounds so... crude! It sounds like... Vicar, or... huh. Some sort of alcoholic beverage! Or, worse yet, Nick, which sounds like Nicky, which reminds me of someone I dislike, who I shan't go talking about in the internet in case they find me. But really! It is absolutely awful! If you INSIST upon shortening Victoire, say Vee please! Or V even. Like darling Evans has learned (I can't seem to recall if I threatened her or not...). So take a leaf from Evans, or Jenna Wood, or her friend Kras (Yes, I am talking about random people who I may or may not have not met in real life) and call me Vee!
Moral of the story: If you call me Vic, you will soon have an unsuspected house call by the Dark Lord.

That's all! I really do still love all of you faithful readers though. Well, we don't have any faithful readers but WE WILL! Someday!

Luv,
Vee

Vee's family tree (SPOILER)

Vee and Luna are on here but not Me
(click photo to enlarge)

When I was looking at JKRs site for links (www.potterish.com is another good one but you will need google translate) i found a family tree. if you want to know exactly how you are related to a Weasley this is the place to go.

www.jkrowling.com

—Evans

Ps. Sorry if the link didn't work. Bloggers recent problems are still being sorted out so things are a little funny still. Also, this link can only take you to the site. JKRs site isnt exactly link friendly

Blogs you should be reading

I don’t have time to write anything interesting myself (I’m studying for my end of year exams and if I don’t pass I wont be able to go to Hogwarts next year) so I thought I’d just post a few websites that you can read instead. Most are HP related or my reason for posting it is.

This one is a bit obvious but the Leaky Cauldron is very reliable and anyone who hasn’t been on it before needs to get on ASAP!

www.the-leaky-cauldron.org 

This website isn’t related to Harry Potter but the page on the site that I linked to is. The site is Oshkosh Museum’s website and the page is for their month long celebration of all things Potter!

www.oshkoshmuseum.org/exhibits/mugglefest.htm 

This one is also non-HP (it is a writing site) but there is quite and HP community. I’m on Figment as Lily Evans Potter and many of my friends and foes are on there too. Also, it has some of the best HP fanfiction I have ever read (Those Green Eyes by Summer Sellers is my favorite, and NOT because it is about me! It is actually quite inaccurate ((I’ve never played truth or dare with James)) but very well written)

www.figment.com 

A Very short “prequel” to the HP series. JKR wrote it for fun after hearing that people suspected her of planning to write a prequel to the series. I think it is pretty good and wish I could read more.

www.headsup.freeshell.org/drumsticks

Another news source for the HP world. I’m subscribed to quite a few though I’m not posting all of them today

www.mugglenet.com 

If you don’t mind reading in spanish (I think thats what it is but google translate translates it into English for me so I’m not sure) this site is a good one

www.bloghogwarts.com 

This site collects HP news from around the web and posts it on one site. The links to the sites they get it from are there so you can always read more

www.veritaserum.com  

Hope you like the sites!

New Ideas

I hope you like that one... It seems to be made out of seaweed and mermaid's hair, with rice inside. Dipped of course in oil from the Bubotuber garden we have (it's pus is usually used as an acne sure, so these foods will be very good for young teens with horrible acne problems. You should look into it, Vee. JK!), so I hope it looks good!!!

http://www.bonappetit.com/blogsandforums/blogs/badaily/nori_on_stick.jpg

This is an amazing loaf of bread that I think we should try, though with a few differences. First off, I think we should try using gnome saliva instead of milk, to give it gook luck, and also, with all the wheat that needs to be included, this loaf often yells too much. So I was thinking if we put a quieting charm on the dough before we bake, it would have better affects. Think about it!!!

http://ninecooks.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451fa5069e20133f3d4d7ee970b-800wi

I think today is a day worth mentioning. I know this is a cooking blog and this may seem off topic, but its not. Daddy sold the most Quibbler copies in the history of the Quibbler! There was an article that was written by Albus Dumbledore, which made everyone hop up to buy the Quibbler. I was so happy, and so was Daddy, that he let me have the kitchen to myself for 2 hours, and he promised he would not complain about the smells. Daddy knows that awful smells actually clear your head, but he also knows that sometimes they are un-bearable. Anyway, I used my time well, and I am almost done with my Xeno cake. (that's what I'm naming it). 
--Luna <3

Luna

We have a new member coming to our blog! She will be a co-authoress, and her name is Luna! So far, we aren't positive on details, but we hope she will post frequently. That makes me (Victoire) the only V name! I am hoping that throughout our blogging, we slowly bring in more people, until we have a whole slew of authors. I am going to make this post short and sweet, because it is late and I need to clean some pans from my cooking (My house elf has abandoned me!). About the cooking, the pierogies (little polish dumpling thingies) were delicious. Here's the recipe:
Package of \potato and onion pierogies (I got mine from Whole Foods)
1 Onion (optional)
Olive Oil
Goat cheese or sour cream (optional)
Frying pan (big!)

Follow directions on package to boil pierogies.When they are done boiling, drain them and let dry. If you are using the onion, chop it up and put it in the frying pan you are planning to use for the pierogies, along with enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan, plus some extra, and fry until browned (like, normal browned onion thing). Take out of pan and put into small bowl (well, one that will contain it). Now put the pierogies in the same pan. Even if you aren't using onion, I suggest throwing in a few pieces. Add some more olive oil (the same basic amount I said to use for the onion). Heat up the oil. Throw in the pierogies (Be careful! Sometimes the oil will get bubbly!) Fry each pierogi so that each side is slightly crisp (a little browned is PERFECT! That nice, golden-y color!) If you are using goat cheese and/or sour cream, put each in a small bowl. When the pierogies are done, put them on a plate and serve. I like mine with goat cheese spread on the top and some of those delish onions! NOM NOM NOM!!!!!

Au Revoir! Victoire OUT!!!

p.s. Victoire has become a death eater, so her posts may seem a bit psycho. Also, she would like you to know that she now sees the bright side of being a sadistic, psychopath witch with prodigious skills and no conscience. Family members can be annoying.

Educational Decree 31

We should be having our first guest soon! Until then, I would suggest looking up Delores Umbridge’s Educational Decrees. Also make sure you know weather they were passed by her or by Fudge. It is really quite interesting and you never know if they will come up on the end-of-term exams, or maybe on your OWLs and NEWTs. 

Luv,

Lily and Victoire


Ps. there is some serious Potter fans on etsy. this was my personal favorite but i sure Victoire would disagree.

Welcome!

If you are here, I hope you like the Harry Potter series, and maybe like us, you are unhealthily addicted. Unhealthily addicted is the following:

Will die if you don't go to the midnight release of the part two Deathly Hallows

Have written down all of the spells in every book and what they do (that was me, Victoire)

Enjoy soap jelly beans

Own a time turner or some other supposedly useless thing categorized by your more ignorant friends as 'Junk'

Have learned to knit just for spew (Yeah, I don't support it as much as Miss Evans here. And I don't know how to knit.) (Not true Victoire!)

Other obviously addicted things (e.g. cutting your bangs to be Moaning Myrtle, killing yourself to become a ghost.... okay that's a bit much... turning down a scholarship to Harvard or something because you haven't got your acceptance to Hogwarts yet. Um, yeah I would do that last... definitely.)

So... Leaving that topic, our plans for our blog. We hope to have some guest writers come on. These people would be people who know about food or who share our unhealthy addiction. I know a few already! Anyway, we also hope to try some recipes, give you Potter information, make our own recipes, post recipes... the list goes on. Basically anything we feel like in other words. We will also be posting various quizzes so you can test your 

Happy Pottering! (Like happy blogging but Potter-y) and Happy Cooking!!!

Luv,

Victoire and Lily

P.S. Don't ask why I screwed up the font (if I did)
