A twenty-year-old college student from Canada with a passion for writing. I write fanfiction and am currently hoping to begin posting a supernatural crime story here. Eventually.

So. My attention was accidentally caught by a very nice tunic and a very nice coat (with peculiar and beautiful buttons) in the window of this shop in my neighborhood… There were no prices exposed so I googled the brand, this collection by Daniela Dallavalle/Elisa Cavaletti looks really mori and witchy inspired!

And I guess really out of my budget too.
The materials seem really good quality at a first sight, also.

Recently the Alastor Moody Defense Award was presented to Efua Nduom for her work on the Porta-Patronus. Nduom, who hails from Kumasi, invented a method of containing non-corporeal but strong Patronus charms for single use-defense that allows them to be used even by those who cannot produce a Patronus, like children, squibs, and people suffering from mental illness or emotional trauma.

Porta-Patronus capsules, which must merely be shattered on the ground to activate, have been distributed throughout the parts of West Africa that are particularly vulnerable to Lethifold attacks, and it is estimated that hundreds have already been saved.

In the photograph, Nduom, an independent researcher and innovator, stands in front of an activated Porta-Patronus.

A portrait of Beitiris Macmillan, circa 1820. A strange child and an even more eccentric woman, Beitiris first truly came into the spotlight when her father was appointed Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. Determined to be the subject of gossip for something besides her marriage prospects, Beitiris made waves when she staged one-witch protests complete with flashing orange signs outside the Wizengamot chambers in solidarity with Squibs (an unheard of cause at the time).  She would continue to scandalize wixen society when she charmed her way–with hardly any magic–into the graces of Muggle high society, often dining with lords and barons and even foreign Muggle nobility.

She caused a scandal when she rejected a male relation’s, er, rather forcible efforts to seize her inheritance, her actions leading to his bloody death (although most secretly thought he deserved it). Following the scandal, she decided it was better not to marry in case her spouse should try something similar with her ancestral home, a decision she kept to, although she had many lovers.

Beitiris finally passed away in 1910, shortly after the death of her lifetime companion, her pet pig, Harold.
