I did the test online for CPE and thought it surprisingly easy. Also I contemplate to go abroad for my Master's degree. But I haven't decided yet where or how, and then there were so many degrees suddenly I was a bit surprised. Many years ago I did the PET test with Cambridge. :) That's why I knew about the Cambride certificates. And well, TOEFL many other studets did who wanted to go abroad. But IELTS, I have only heard in passing before. If you say it makes no real difference on the resume, i think I'll do TOEFL.
Exactly. Tolkien hasn't just written books, he described a world and it would be a pity to not use it.
Alternate trio fanfics can be very interesting and fill the lack of truly good trio fanfics. There are several, yes, but not many.
About timelines and alternatives: I think I might take Master of Death Harry and send him into an alternative universe and a bit into the past. A world where Grindelwald won the magical war, probably. Main reason? Because I thought it funny if Harry as the Master of Death lands in a place where his sign is used everywhere. Though, there are other reasons too. Grindelwald is mostly undescribed, he can be developed into any directions. Dumbledore is in prison. And Tom Riddle is full of dark potential but not yet completely insane (just... slightly, psychopathic insane). I know you don't like such stories much, so if I write it, you wouldn't need to beta it. ^^" But at the moment I throw the ideas at you and would love to hear your opinion.
I think that's really the teacher in you. ;) But it's true that such a person would just demand too much of your time. I was one year bored in my history lessons and in the first weeks just answered every question to not fall asleep. In the end I was the only one in the room who was allowed to doodle around and things, while the others had to listen. XD Still knew the answers, though, but didn't answer them anymore. It was an arrangement we both could live with.
About Hermione, I think she is sometimes awful, especially to teachers she doesn't like. In fifth year Dolores Umbridge clearly hated her, so did Snape for the matter.
Yeah. I mean, what if her parents had said: We accept the risks, but we stay for this or that or just as a statement? Or if they had said, "we help and print flyers?" There might have been discussions before, but the way she said it... didn't imply those at all.
Not fast and not easily. Imagine that you can only die, if you really want to. Interestingly it would tie in well with the HP verse, after all magic is all about the intention (as Bellatrix pointed out well). I imagine it would be unimagineably difficult to intent your own death without any doubt, any fear, only determination and will. I really like this angle of thought. :D
