Then Toefl it is. :) But in autumn, not now. I'm already doing far to much at the moment to add this to my plate. Thanks alot for your information. It's sometimes difficult to determine the differences from afar, when you just want proof of your skills. Funnily, the reading ones I'm not very afraid of. I've read several thesis papers and I understand them as well as I would if it were in German. That said, the chemical thesis paper a friend handed to me as her beta-reader was pure confusion to me. In both languages. But as long as it is about business or economics I'm fine.
Very true. I have no idea what Masters I want. I consider Logistics, International, IT... :|
Exactly. :) I actually want to think that Grindelwald was a lot more sane than Voldemort. Not less dangerous, surely, but sane, which is really not difficult to be. After all, Voldemort splitted is soul - seven times. The universe is a bit like this: Dumbledore lost the duel against Grindelwald and was imprisoned. Grindelwald conquers Germany, France, mainland Europe. England, Ireland, Norway panic and a few Aurors have a brilliant idea: They research Grindelwald's sign and conclude that Grindelwald is the Master of Death. They create a summoning ritual, and a nice trap, not really expecting to work. But do get the "death" energy they decide to use a special portal in Britain... and everything goes downhill from that.
Only difficult I have is this: I really would like to include Hermione and Ron. But obviously they're not summoned. So how would I get them into this alternate universe? Also, I wonder if all three of them should have seperate love interests - or if I go menage a trois. There are so few of that kind of story out there, that has plot and not just porn.
Of course you can beta. :D But I really take my time to built a universe. ;) And what I send you was more of a trial to get the "taste" of the story.
I can so see that attitude in my teachers. :D But some also relished in talking with the students. I think Hermione mellowed out a bit over the years. In third year with the Dementor here fear was funny - as long as one didn't consider the cause. Her worst fear was to return to the Muggle world, to leave the magic/ Hogwarts behind. I've long wondered if her homelife was all that good. Her parents seemed not especially caring, and in the books Hermione never seems to miss them. Worse, even during the summer months as the books go on, she spends less and less time at home.
... truthfully I always thought that Marietta would be fine after going to St. Mungos in the summer months. :| To curse someone like that for the *rest of their life*? That's really too much.
Mh, someone should've realised, yes. But cared enough to risk themselves to act? Nothing against the Order, but I think even the Dursleys were not hidden that well. Worst case: Hermione didn't act alone. After all it was clearly stated in the books several times, that mind magic is dangerous, damaging and not good. So, a 6th year in Hogwarts? Even if it is Hermione it sees a bit beyond her skills to successfully pull off. There is a very good possibility, that she asked for help and they told her to do this and gave her instructions how.
Added to the universe above. :D How long until one figures that out? How long until one truly overcomes the fear to die to the point that one really decides to die right here and now? My estimation? Long.
