[Fic] "See What's In Front of You"-- Harry Potter

Observe my, like, amazing writing skills.

In other words, my brain is currently stuck on Ginny/Hermione, courtesy of Lasair and her evil plot bunnies and my tendency to go off on weird thought tangents. Oh, and we also have hints of H/Hr and H/G. And maybe H/Hr/G. Or something like that. I don't know. No sex, but apparently strange things happen to my mind when I'm trying to write threesome sex scenes -- it causes other potential threesomes, like this one, to pop up and demand brain space. *Liz frowns disapprovingly at the line of plot bunnies waiting outside her door*

Oh, and it's in present tense. Just because. (The story is also up here on FA and here on ff.net.)

( See What's In Front of You )

This was a good day!

Went to Kelly today (the temp agency, that is), and am going back tomorrow morning to finish my application and take some basic skills tests. However, I'm already signed up for a one-day catering job on Thursday. Go me! Actual honest to god income!

I so rock. Granted it took me a month to work up the nerve to walk in and ask for jobs -- temp agencies scare me, since I have no classically marketable skills -- but I got there.

I also discovered that I had $500 more in one of my checking accounts than I thought I did, since I apparently was smart and transfered money into there out of my NJ savings account. Cool. This gives me a bit more of a cushion than I thought I had.

---------------------------------------------

The local university squirrels are something else. I stopped to throw a tissue into a trashcan, and a squirrel was perched not two feet away on the neighboring recycling bin, eating the tail end of somebody's cheese burrito. It didn't even twitch as I approached, just kept eating and gave me a disdainful sort of look.

It did jump away when a dog wandered by.

I guess dogs are more reliable as enemies than people.

Hogwarts class schedules

I was digging through some of my older files and found this... um, it's not an essay, really. Basically it's a long attempt to work out some sort of plausible class schedule for Hogwarts, which I needed in order to write "Secrets." JKR seems to put classes any old time, but I like to be a little more consistent than that.

There are, of course, numerous problems: not enough teachers, not enough time, how often do the classes repeat, etc. I started with the basic assumption that Hogwarts uses a block schedule, and that the canon teachers don't have assistants or co-teachers who handle half their class load. This is what follows
