Hello again! I wanted to write a post in honor of Harry’s birthday…but strangely enough, the post ended up writing itself for me :P  I don’t know what it was today, but so many strange things happened that there must have been a lot of magic in the air (yes, even in the Muggle world!).

Let’s see, shall we? The first magical episode was this afternoon at lunchtime. I was sitting there on the floor, about to eat my lunch, when I heard voices and strange, loud noises coming from outside the den door-windows (yes, they actually are doors that serve as windows). I opened the large hanging blinds to find that two vehicles had appeared out of nowhere and decided to sun themselves near the pool. Of course, their spot of choice was my patio (well, the grass in front of it, about as close as you could get). Anyway, their owners, however, were in fact parading around the patio itself and dropping random things on it, including something that looked like a cross between a hammock and a large grey cocoon.

In this pic, the people (or, let’s face it, the bumbling wizards) have vanished, but they would soon return…

 

Our second magical happening occurred at Barnes and Noble bookstore later today. After obtaining a chocolate frog (uyy, que chevere esas cositas), I was just walking around, minding my own business, when I saw Professor Snape and Harry. The thing is, they were looking for a wizard, or at least they thought they were. I think they were so enamored with striking the perfect pose and expression that they were oblivious to the fact that an anonymous wanted poster is not helpful. This is why captions and names are useful, folks!

But I don’t think Severus was too pleased with my comment…

 

And finally, as I left Barnes and Noble and headed to my car, were things at last normal? Oh no no, that would be way too simple and boring for such a magical day. So of course there would be a lovely flower and a note (romantic, I’m betting) sitting atop a car outside. Now I’m not sure, but either some car just got itself a date or some guy or gal is going to be very excited when they return. Let’s just hope they find the flower before it goes flying down the highway at 65 mph.

Happy birthday Harry and good night everyone! :)
