No, I'm not a parasitic fish, I'm a hyper, klutzy, random sophomore girl. Anyway, I'm really random and know all the words to "Knights of the Round Table" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail (love that movie), as well as most Les Miserables songs, by heart! I also want to be either a web designer or a writer of some sort when I grow up, but working with dolphins would be fun, too! I can solve a Rubik's Cube in 53 seconds and I LOVE chess. I also love my school's chess team captain. So is it any wonder that I love chess? Well, I didn't know he was the captain at first, so it's more like an added perk...
I am a proud Slytherin on the Forums. I banner and beta.
Favorite characters: Remus, Tonks, Luna and Sirius
OTP: Remus/Tonks, Neville/Luna, Tom/Minerva (Schmergo's drabble convinced me of this), Dumbledore/McGonagall and Sirius/Luna
Favorite creatures: thestrals and basilisk
Favorite writers: J.K. Rowling (of course), Victor Hugo and Dave Barry, all of whom I wish I could have just a shred of their talent!
I also write original fiction at The Red Chair. I'm Remora_The_Random. And feel free to add me on Live Journal, if you want. Just let me know how I know you so I don't go into cardiac arrest.
I may strike you as insane, but that's fine. I am, after all, the girl who named her rubber chicken "Gaylord Fontaine II," named the basilisk in COS Joe and gets up on her chair at lunch and sings random Monty Python and/or Les Miserables songs, as well as shouting things like "I'm on tv!" "You're my grandpa?" and "I'm magic!" in the middle of school, though none are strictly true. Yup. That's "Remora in a nutshell." Emphasis on "nut."
In closing, I would like to leave you with these words of wisdom: the coconut doesn't have a zipper.

Summary: WARNING! This story contains a jingle-bell antler headband, a shower of potatoes, boy/girl mushiness, underwear karaoke, family trouble, an excessively adorable werewolf, death, the song "Werewolves of London," betrayal, and the word 'Jordan' five times in a row near the beginning of chapter seven.
Twenty-one years after Voldemort's defeat, five fourth-years are faced with a new threat. Will all of the five stay true to the light side? Will they all emerge whole in the end? Will Jordan Potter ever get a life? You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll gasp, you'll sigh! Part one in a trilogy!
Well, after much deliberation and consideration, I've decided to submit my future-gen trilogy! This particular installment is three years old, so it's definitely different from my current writing style, but I'm quite fond of the characters.
DH is disregarded. It's a total coincidence that one of the main characters is named Ted Lupin.
