From the Ravenclaw Common Room: You're a wizard, AJ.

I feel like such a slacker for not posting as often as Megan, but at least I haven't completely abandoned my duties. I recently made a new costume for AJ. Megan and I have been having Harry Potter fever lately and this was one of the many ways I expressed it (not to mention the countless doodles of myself in Hogwart's school robes all over my math homework).

As I continue in these mini-costume escapades I begin to find that the sleeves on my shirts and such never turn out right and I am beginning to think that I will have to stop being lazy and attempt to sew them right. I also think I might want to iron the outfits as well, because things like AJ's robe won't stay right-side-out and it bothers me.

Unfortunately, I have given way to the modern world and gave AJ a tie and vest. I never pictured Hogwart's robes to be like that when I first read them, but now I find it hard to picture them any other way.

I also made a stand for AJ, because she becomes too unstable on her feet when burdened with her outfits.

Things in her schoolbag: heavy textbook, probably something like Advanced Arithmancy; old-looking parchment; and a quill and inkwell.

AJ begins her assignment on "The Aftermath of the Goblin Wars and their Overall Benefit to the Wizarding Community"

Like her much larger, much less a wizard, counterpart, AJ takes a rather long time in finishing her assignments.

But she rewards herself afterwards with some Quidditch practice. (In the end, this turned out to be a really cool picture, but it was rather frustrating at first because I couldn't get her to sit straight on the broom. I finally let her fall to one side and placed the Snitch accordingly. This was the result.)
