LeakyCon

Looking back, I realised we don't have an official post about LeakyCon. Unless I missed something (likely) or it got deleted (also likely).
If you don't know what LeakyCon is, let me explain. Ohohoho let me explain. Also give me a minute so I can cackle evilly for effect.
LeakyCon is a giant Harry Potter conference that takes place every year, and has been going on for three or four years (pfft, details.) It is run by the webmistress of leaky.com, Melissa Anelli. It has panels, wizard rock (Wrock), authors, actors, and so much more. This year, Evanna Lynch (Luna), as well as the actors who played Nigel and young James Potter. The Vlogbrothers will be there, as well as the inimitable Maureen Johnson, who is running the LeakyCon Lit program, which deals with all the literary events.
Best of all, in my opinion, Figment.com will be there with a writing lounge. Figment is everyone's favourite writing site and you better check it out now.
Anyway, there are so many other things also happening that naming them would take longer than I have the energy to write out. And Lily and I are going. If you are ALSO going, please FIND US. I will be tweeting about it on the thing that you tweet on. I hope to also be blogging about it, but I don't know if that's possible.
I can hear some of you crying in the corner and saying that we shouldn't blog about it because you can't go and you'll be jealous, but I don't feel bad. This is the first, and probably last conference I will get to go to, and I want to enjoy it to the best of my ability. 
On a non-related note, I'd like to do a giveaway sometime soon, but I can only do that if we have enough followers. Perhaps a bit of LeakyCon swag would tempt you? 


Anywho, cheers, and DFTBA!
Love,
Vee

Some More LeakyCon, and Some More Screaming

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

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.
