A Return (not of the Jedi!)

My profuse apologies - I have gone dead again, haven't I? Well, first I had to complete Year 8 and the rowing season, which took up quite a lot of my time, and then my brother's laptop died and mine was used as the "back-up". Needless to say, I no longer own a laptop but am posting from my iPad.

I went off Star Wars for a bit, becoming more interested in Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings - but then, this is a multi-fandom blog! In the months since I posted last, I've re-organised my Star Wars books into one bookshelf for easy access. I am posting a photo of it....!

Are you all excited for Crucible? The release date was moved from February to July, and that really annoys me, but oh well - there's more tension!

'Till the next time,

Apologies...

Much as I hate to say it, I've gone quiet again! School and life caught up with me and I just... went -.- 'I can't do a blog post today, I've got homework!' It's all winding down though, term breaks up next week, yay!

I've been working on a new Harry Potter fan-fic, but more about that next time. For all of you out there - I have a question for you. *cue spooky music*

What was your favourite moment in your favourite fandom? Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, whatever. You can tell us multiple scenes AS LONG AS THEY AREN'T FROM THE SAME MOVIE/BOOK/WHATEVER! 

Go!

Apologies & Upcoming Story

I know it's been forever since I posted last, and I apologise! Real life and fan-fiction collided for a short time and I was forced to abandon the blog for a while to concentrate on school and other pressing things.

The good news is, there's another story on its way! This one is looking to be a multi-chapter and I'm in the planning stages as well as looking for a good beta-reader. A good beta-reader is essential!! Unfortunately for you Star Wars-geared followers out there, this is a Harry Potter fan-fiction, set after the events of The Deathly Hallows. Already got my main character pretty much lined up...

I'm super excited as my hearing up-grade has finally arrived one year after we sent the forms in, and I'm due to pick it up sometime this week or next. It's a major event in my life as far as I'm concerned - a big step in helping myself hear better. Fingers crossed we can get an appointment for this coming week as I already have one lined up on Thursday for a hearing test, so hopefully we'll get one on the same day.

Till next time!

Absence, Harry Potter & a Fic

So first off, sorry for my absence from the blog lately - I've been reading Harry Potter fan-fiction and writing some of my own! It's been a long time since my Muse led me to Harry Potter so I thought I'd take advantage of it.

I'm writing a Star Wars: The New Rebellion missing moment... stay tuned!

Here's a fan-fiction I wrote for the Harry Potter universe that will be crossposted to fanfiction.net sometime, but not today. Enjoy!

*********

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.

A smile spread over Harry Potter’s face as he sat cradling his firstborn son. It was mere hours since James Sirius Potter had come screaming into the world, and already he was second only to Ginny in Harry’s heart. After Ginny, he had thought that he could never fall in love again; she completed him – but he was wrong. Little James stole Harry’s heart as easily as Ginny had, and then and there Harry vowed that his son would live a normal life, compared to the one he had had.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no-one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.

Ginny’s labour had been a long and hard one, lasting for six straight hours, at the end of which Harry felt as if all the bones in his hand had been cracked a million times over. In the end, though, it was worth it, seeing his beautiful wife rocking their son minutes after he was born. Harry had kissed her on her sweaty forehead and then done the same for their newborn son. She’d smiled up at him and whispered, “I bet I look a mess now.”

I know you haven’t made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I’ve known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong.

“Even if you do, I love you,” he’d replied, and seen her face light up. “You’re so beautiful, Gin. Thank you, for everything.” Leaning forward, he had placed a soft, featherlight kiss on her lips and whispered, “I love you.” Then he had wrapped his arms around her and held her close, breathing in the flowery scent her hair still managed to give off even when it was wet with sweat and sticking to her temples. The three of them – father, mother and son – had stayed there for several minutes before a Healer disturbed them to take James away for weighing and general looking after.

I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue
I’d go crawling down the avenue
No, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
To make you feel my love.

While James was away with the Healer, his mother had fallen asleep against Harry’s chest. Ginny’s blazing red hair was spread out over his chest, and he had tightened his grip on her, kissing the crown of her head and whispering, “Thank you, Gin.” Moments later, the Healer had brought their son back and Harry had taken him with whispered thanks, so as not to wake his wife. Now he sat here, next to her bed, rocking his son and staring into those chocolate brown eyes that James II had inherited from his mother. He was beautiful, just as Ginny was. In that moment, Harry vowed to protect her and their son. He would lay down his life in an instant if it meant his wife could live, and James.

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain’t seen nothing like me yet.

Today Harry felt different. He had been a friend, brother and lover for so long, and a husband for three years. But this was different – he was responsible for another tiny, defenceless human being.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn’t do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love.

He was a father. And no matter what life threw at him in the future, he would always love his wife and son as much as he did now.

To make you feel my love.

Return of THE JEDI

So... a little something that I thought about when I decided I'd watch Return of the Jedi again.

Does 'the Jedi' imply one Jedi, like Anakin Skywalker? But then again, we saw three Jedi on the edge of the Endor forest at the end of ROTJ, which could be taken to mean 'the Order'. It's not Luke, we know that, because he's becoming a Jedi, not returning. The entire saga (Episodes I through VI) are basically centred on Luke, but we do know that the Order falls in the Jedi Purges after Anakin turns to the Dark side.

I'm not sure where to turn on this, so I thought you guys might be able to say a little about it. Ideas? Comment them below!
