French is pretty, my sister speaks it pretty well and I find it to be a beautiful language! I don't know the language so I can't say any particular words or phrases, but I did take Spanish for a while and always thought "mi amor" (meaning "my love") was pretty!

Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift! It's played on a guitar, but I'm sure Morticia can figure out the notes on her shamisen. Safe and Sound is a slow soft song that's absolutely beautiful!

Definitely creepy stories, the scarier the better. They'd also read fairy tales and change the story so the "villain" wins. For instance, they might have the dragon win in a classic story or the evil queen win in a more disney like story. They'd probably read stories from the villains perspective as well so they'd sympathize with them.

I'll create the graphics for the Art and Library Department. I would also like to submit a Fallen Letters and a word search.

My favorite project to make are definitely the origami snowflakes around Christmas because they all come out looking different and they're beautiful! However, since we're talking Halloween, I love decorating pumpkins! There are all sorts of ways to decorate them (cutting shapes in them, stickers, etc...) but I love painting them because they come out looking super cool and colorful! If you look at a pumpkin closely, you'll see it has rings running from the top to the bottom and I have a habit of painting each one a different color XD Painting on faces after the first layer of paint has dried is a great idea, because carving pumpkins is always a mess (in my opinion) and I find it rather difficult to do, so painting faces on makes it a lot easier and they turn out super cute!

My siggy is of the Addams family all looking at a book with "The Addams Family" and "Slyth-o-ween" written on the left and "2019" on the right. I wasn't sure which character to go with as I've only watched my first Addams family episode a few days ago XD So, I just decided to go with the whole family and this picture seemed like it'd work well! Then I had no idea what to do for my avatar as I tend to like taking things straight from my siggy/something sort of related to it, but then the boy and girl seemed to work well for it, so yay \o/ Avatar:

I think there was a lot to consider concerning where Harry should grow up, but I agree with the others about the blood wards, and Dumbledore thought it was best to leave him with family most likely. Sure, he had probably heard something about them, but according to Professor McGonagall who stated rather shocked that they were the worst kind of muggles, apparently he must not have known too much or he would have shared that with her. He shouldn't have left Harry with the Dursley's as we see all the pain that caused him, but Dumbledore did have some valid reasons for it. That spell protected Harry until he was 17 and he saw that as the safest option for him.

Snape's and Bellatrix's personalities were complete opposites. Bella always had very high amounts of energy that sometimes (usually) overflowed into craziness, while Snape tended to be a bit less crazy in his personality. Bellatrix had a tendency to not think things over so much and let her anger and other things control her actions while Snape always took a bit to think it all through. I think the main reason he enjoys taunting Bellatrix is simply because she doesn't trust him and he knows it. She dislikes Snape and so he returns the favor. He also knows that Bella can't do anything about her mistrust of him except spread rumors because Lord Voldemort is on his side and that was all that really mattered. Bella probably just irritated him and he did what he could to do so back.

I believe Voldemort sent Pettigrew with Snape because, while Peter had helped him out quite a bit, he also drove him crazy so the best thing would be to get him away while still sort of in the circle of Death Eaters. I agree with Maxim that he might have chosen to send him with Snape to keep an eye on him, but Severus might have also been the only person who was able to take him. Which other Death Eater can we think of that would have been all right with having Pettigrew there? Also, Snape was there when Pettigrew revealed his true identity, so that might have had a hand in it. As far as assisting him goes, that could have just been what he said to make it seem like he was helping with something when Voldemort really didn't want anything to do with him. Snape definitely took advantage of that and turned him into a helper with random house chores.

Yup! Lora?

I was thinking the same thing when I read it, wondering who he was calling. Being in the U.S., I immediately assumed it was our president, though I'm not sure what for. We do know that it was a man he was hoping to speak too. It's also possible that he wasn't waiting for a call from any president and he was simply trying to stall so he didn't have to speak with Fudge. That's probably the most likely scenario. But if he really was waiting for a call and it was from the President of the United States, it might have been simply to update him on what had happened, perhaps to warn him of the strange weather or else to have someone who was in a position like his to talk to.
