... year, given all that was happening outside the walls of Hogwarts, a greater than usual majority of the school, including several students in Slytherin, were outspokenly against the Slytherin House accomplishing anything of note. The professors might even have stepped in to help temper these opinions if it weren’t for the children of known Death Eaters proclaiming loudly to anyone who would ...

Regular Application!

..., often emotionally distant, self-depreciating, cunning, introspective, opinionated, contradicting (in terms of my personality traits), analytical, occasionally "blunt" What do you consider to be some of your worst fears? Not accomplishing half of what I want to in life, being seen as a failure, dying before I get the chance to see the world, losing control of myself (ex: a mind-killing disease...

Buccaneer's Boy - Chapter Two

... have been roasted alive, trampled by horses, staked out for wild dogs, tied naked to an ant hill, and shot.

Meanwhile, on Twitter...

... hope I'm over this streaming cold in time for the staff piss-up and Christmas. Couldn't get into my car today. Frozen solid. Got the bus. # 11:55 I wonder what tag trolls think they're accomplishing, exactly? Probably a lot more work for them than it is for me re-adding from a backup. # 16:26 GET OFF MY LAWN! # 17:11 We're getting in the Christmas spirit by listening to Dueling ...

... chapter, and the recent Jump Festa rumors, I'm not so sure anymore. I'm still holding out hope, though—based on the themes of not giving up, not leaving behind teammates, and the younger generation accomplishing what the older could not—that Sasuke will be restored in the end.

Maybe he had said, "You know, Neal, every decade or so, you might try accomplishing something without basically offering someone your body." Neal had stared at him in surprise.

He wouldn't leave without accomplishing what he came here for in the first place, he decided. He turned in a familiar direction and started across the rooftops looking for one place that stuck out more than the rest. He found it ...
