Theories of Things Episode 4: Ice Skating Aspirations

Hello (hopefully) loyal readers! Welcome back to Theories of Things! In this issue, we’re gonna be nosing our way through an anime that I don’t know anything about, and delving into my first request.

So, using my handy floo pass which I don’t seem to have received yet  I made my way to Vault #445 in Gringotts;this is where you’re supposed to guess whose vault it is, so get guessing! Aaaaaaaannndd.... tis Chloe’s! The #1 sweet/cake/sugary foods fan has placed herself under severe judgement! (but I didn’t mention that) 

Most of the weirdest things, unfortunately, were gifted so I couldn’t include them in this column, (which is one of my criteria for mentioning a thing in case you were wondering) but I did see a “Viktor Nikiforov large plush” which sparked my imagination in some questionable ways, but let’s not go in to that. I assumed that he was from Yuri on Ice, and my assumptions were correct. Fun fact: he was also a real person, winning gold in the 1956 Winter Olympics. 

Twas the night before Christmas, and a certain Chloe had been ice skating. Well, after watching a few episodes of Yuri on Ice of course! Her favourite character, Viktor, had done this amazing quadruple flip and that had caused for some serious fangirling. Unfortunately, her attempt hadn’t gone as well...

Aching all over, Chloe trudged back to her house to get to bed. 

She opened her eyes, only to see a blurry face with silvery-grey hair. Warily, she reached under her bed for her special emergency sack. 


“Hey,” a voice with a thick Russian accent said. Chloe felt a ring touch her face, and she tried to focus in on the mysterious person. She screamed. 


“VIKTOR!!! IT’S YOU!!!” Gripping her emergency sack closer, she opened it up a little. 


“Yes, I saw you faint near the skating rink,” he said. “Rest.” 

But Chloe did not rest. The fact that Viktor was living and breathing and talking to her was a bit too much :/ Everything then went black for Viktor... Sewing up the bottom of the sack, Chloe then cut out a small hole where she estimated his mouth would be, and placed the sack on the table. She got out her various pens, and began to draw. 

Soon enough, the sack was a life-size Viktor Nikiforov plush, ready to be protected in her vault.

Hello readers of the S.S.S.S.! This is Junie4410, otherwise known as Kate, writing and today we are talking about Fruity Fantasies! With over 30 fruity things to purchase, this is certainly the place for any fruit lovers. I believe this shop is owned by reem1226 and previously co-owned with Renee, but has had the help of different shop assistants.

So what to get your friends here? A Grow-Your-Own-Fruit Pack would be a fun project for your friend, and it is not too pricey at all. You can grow green apples, gala apples, lemons, limes, tangerines, peaches, and nectarines. Pick your friend's favorite fruit and then eat all the food that she grows.  You can also get your friend a lovely fruit arrangement. This week's theme was Bertie Bott's, and there was many selections of fruits for you to choose one. I actually bought one of these myself, and upon doing so, realized that everyone seems to like these. You can't go wrong with a fruit bouquet!

But what to get yourself? If you are a chocolate person like I am, you might favor their chocolate covered strawberries, which I have ordered in the past. They are the perfect thing to snack on, and you can even choose between different kinds of chocolate. I ordered a few dark chocolate strawberries, and they were delicious! Another good thing to get yourself are the fruit scented candles. They are perfect for your dorm, and they come in delicious sounding scents, such as Fresh Strawberry, Pomegranate, Grapefruit Mango, and Pink Watermelon. There are tons more things that I would buy in the store, but I'll let you decide what's best for you. 

I hope that you enjoyed this edition of the S.S.S.S and thanks for reading! I'll see ya next issue with a new article!

Super Special Student Shops

by Junie4410

We have seen this individual lurking around and being a nuisance for quite a few months now, so it is only the duty of the Quibbler to bring light to their identity. Let’s look at the Death Eater’s activities to see who they can they possibly be to the things they have done.

I was first acquainted with the Death Eater during Summer Camp. They say they are planning to rule over the castle, noting that they have much more experience than our purple alumni. Apparently, the Quibbler has already written multiple times about them, and they also wanted the Sorting Hat to sort more people into Slytherins. Interesting…

Fast forward to the school year and the Death Eater is now seen in various professors’ offices at Hogwarts. How could they have gotten in? They also accessed vaults at Gringotts easily, and managed to sneak inside a cell in Azkaban to be dangerously close to students on a field trip. They also express interest in becoming a Dark Arts professor.

At surface level, these clues might seem too general. But if you dive into the details with me, you’ll see that it all points to one person – William Riddle!

The Death Eater’s wish to have more students sorted into Slytherin comes across as house loyalty, so we know they were a Slytherin when they were a student. Now, they are graduated, but they are not purple. Liam, conveniently, is teal. They have easy access everywhere in Hogwarts, which Liam would have as Headmaster. They can get into any vault at Gringotts, which Liam can do as Head Goblin. What about getting into Azkaban? Liam controls all employee movement as Head of the Department of Employment. What’s stopping him from giving himself a key to Azkaban? The Death Eater also wants to be a professor of a new subject, which Liam can easily do as a current professor.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unmasking the Death Eater

by Rose Jean

The most implicating pieces of evidence have yet to come… The Death Eater has only ever definitively accessed one vault at Gringotts – Vault 0003, also known as Liam’s vault. When the Death Eater speaks of taking and using Liam’s invisibility cloak, they say they are “borrowing”. The quotation marks mean that they are not actually borrowing it. We automatically think it means they stole it, but what if it’s not borrowing when they actually own it? Don’t think I’ve forgotten about the Quibbler having written about them before. Back in Issue 65, my fellow columnist, Becky (Eowyn29), wrote an article investigating Liam’s vault and found a Death Eater mask. Yes. The very vault the Death Eater accessed contained the very same mask they are wearing right now.

But wait a minute… why would Liam plan to rule over the castle when he already does? Simple! Take a look at the Death Eater’s signature which uses cookies to coerce students into joining their side. I propose that Liam is disguising himself as a Death Eater to see which students would try to be recruited by him. Those students would be marked as having dark tendencies and placed under extra careful observation by their professors to make sure they don’t grow up to be future dark lords. What’s worse is that the Death Eater claims to already have “so many […] students” convincing them to be recruited. Be warned, classmates! The Death Eater is not who they seem to be.

Contemporary Plans?

by awesome_forever

Welcome, oh welcome readers, to an individual that I’m sure most are familiar with. He goes by the alias "Death Eater," and has appeared in quite a few issues of the Quibbler. And he’s back, this time willing to be interviewed for what he calls “the rag.” This man is no chicken to Voldemort, even have thoughtfully considered to break apart from him and start his own club of loyal devotees. As he ever so distinctly says, “I will have to give this some thought” when I stealthily threw in the alluring suggestion; we all know that he isn’t a common boring Death Eater for sure. Apart from offering cookies as a way to bribe poor members of the site to fall under his feet, Mr. Death Eater also seems to care about public opinion. When he initially approached me, it was to request me to deviate the attention that he was receiving with the, as he claims, false accusations, thrown at him with the recent disease break of Spattergroit. He claims, “Mere coincidence, but I can't say I didn't benefit from the hysteria. I have no idea why anyone would think I was involved with the outbreak, shocking to be associated with it.” Shall we believe him or shall we take caution? That’s up for you to decide, my dears, but I recommend you don’t leave your doors wide open. The disease may have faded away but who knows when it will show its glorious face once more and cause havoc? 

 

Of the few questions that I was able to ask and get an answer out of, this particular answer quite intrigued me. I questioned Mr. Death Eater about his feelings toward his almighty boss, Voldemort. One would expect a typical Death Eater to ramble over their immense loyalty and bond to Voldemort, but he does not fall under that path. Instead, he answers, “I'm a Death Eater, what kind of feelings are you expecting me to have?” This answer is so simple and yet, has such a deep meaning beneath it. Can we paltry and inadequate wizards and witches deduce that Mr. Eater was avoiding the question? The reason for this can be as effortless and unimaginative as Mr. Eater being overcome with positive emotions that he couldn't transfer to words, or can be that he secretly doesn’t like Voldemort and is planning a riot against him? 

 

The poor man states firmly, “I try to stay under the radar, not draw attention to myself, just appearing in places seems to generate talk though.” That makes me wonder if he actually does have a big heart and is just a lonesome man that all of humanity has been viewing in the wrong way. Maybe just a man that wants to talk? While all will benefit from proceeding forward with heed, this is an option that we should absolutely consider - an elderly man handing out cookies to children.

unNecessary Advice with Nicole

After the success of my first column, I was excited to dive into my next column. I searched the globe for answers to your questions, and I hoped that I could somewhat help you learn how to cope. Coping somehow became the theme of this issue's column, and I couldn't be more thrilled.

Through my time as a semi-elderly individual, I've learned that coping comes with age, so really, the answer to all your questions is "Age, m'dear, age." As you learn to age gracefully as I have over the years, answers to your life's problems become simpler... even elegant, so I'm glad to help you today with your issues, and hope, that after all my super necessary advice, you find some comfort in your troubled times.


Any advice on how to cope after Infinity War? Have any ideas on how I can spend my time while waiting for stuff?
Assuming this muggle trifile remains on target to come out next year, you can go back and re-watch the films or shows that have led up to the one you're anticipating. This will help you learn more about the subject matter, and maybe view things you never have before. And if all else fails... get a book, m'dears. Reading is knowledge and knowledge is power. Don't ever forget that.

Any advice on how to handle OWLs?
Oh my, you're only an OWL student? If only I was so young and fresh as that... OWLs are a magically exciting time in your life and in order to avoid stress... try scheduling your time to spread the work around. If that doesn't help... scream at the top of your lungs, I'm sure someone will help you then.

How do you get more active on mH after going on hiatus?
Get involved with your housemates and get involved in the community. There are clubs that you can join and take part in actively. You can also learn about what you missed by reading "myHogwarts: A History". Other than that... the three P's... plot, plan, pillage...

How does one balance mH with real life?
Very carefully, of course. I'll say, with a tiara and tutu... anything is possible.
