Why Did It Have To End?

Four weeks ago, I was at the first Wrock concert during LeakyCon.  I only knew my family and one girl I had talked to online for a year and a half prior to the Con.  It is hard to believe that it has been four weeks since LeakyCon started.
Now, four weeks later, I am [...]

LeakyCon: Elevator Norms Do Not Apply

How many Harry Potter fans can you fit in an elevator?  A lot.  We discovered that at LeakyCon.  At least once a day I found myself crammed into an elevator with at least ten other people.
One of the times that we did this, the elevator made a very strange noise and lurched.  Everyone ran off [...]

LeakyCon: Stolen Hats and the CoW

On the last night of LeakyCon, there was a ball.  People wore a variety of clothing, from Prom dresses to Harry Potter costumes to Muggle wear.  My family was a good representation of the whole spectrum.  I wore my Professor Trelawney costume but didn’t frizz my hair out, so I was just a random witch [...]

LeakyCon: The Epic Guitar Smash

The last Wizard Rock concert was held in the afternoon on the third day, in one of the ball rooms in the hotel.  It featured Riddle TM, the Mudbloods, the Moaning Myrtles, and my favorite band, the Remus Lupins.  I only saw the Moaning Myrtles and the Remus Lupins since I was at one of [...]

LeakyCon: And We’ll Use Veritaserum on the Death Eaters

We ate lunch in the Boston Commons again after the Live PotterCast.  The event after lunch was another that I was really looking forward to.  It was a Model UN, in which we had to decide what to do with the Death Eaters after the war.  Everyone got to choose a character, and we were [...]

LeakyCon: Helga Hufflepuff Did Not Enslave the House Elves

After breakfast and Wrock discussion, we went to a Wizard Rock Opera written by Lena Gabrielle of the Butterbeer Experience.  She wrote a musical of the story, Fair Fortune, in the Tales of Beedle the Bard.  It was wonderful.  The entire production was beautiful and although I was far away from the stage, I loved [...]

LeakyCon: Evacuation and Breakfast With the Wrockers

My sister and I planned on going to a presentation by a few of the Wizard Rock bands on Saturday morning.  We got up shortly before it and were getting ready to go.  Then we heard an announcement on the PA system.  It was really quiet and hard to hear in the room, but then [...]

LeakyCon: Hagrid vs. Alex Carpenter, Plus Bacon Randomness

Alex Carpenter is the lead singer and founder of the band, The Remus Lupins, which is my favorite Wizard Rock band.   You have to know that in order for this post to make much sense.
Friday night was the second Wizard Rock concert.  Tonks and the Aurors opened, followed by Gred and Forge, the Whomping Willows, [...]

LeakyCon: Meeting Melissa, Sue, Frak, and Lisa

After our GIT programming, we went to the Boston Commons to eat lunch.  My sister made us sandwiches because everyone knows Hufflepuffs make good sandwiches.  We actually met the guy who started the Hufflepuffs make good sandwiches thing, Scott from the Blibbering Humdingers, and my sister made him a sandwich, too.
Lunch was fun because after [...]

LeakyCon: GITs

The second day of LeakyCon began with my sister and I getting together with two other girls to work on the programming we signed up to do.  It was an Improv workshop centered around Harry Potter.
We named ourselves the GITs, which stands for Gryffinpuff Improv Troupe.  Gryffinpuff because two of us are Gryffindors and two [...]
