Happy Birthday, urbanmama1! 

I'm so glad that you were born and that the years have led you here, that you have taken the time to give us the gift of knowing you as you share so generously of yourself.  We are all better for it.

As you know, I have been in a writing black-hole for months now, but I tried to shake it off to write you a tiny birthday drabble. 
Pardon the rust, dear, I'm afraid my writing fingers were left out in the rain.

Thank you so much for everything that you are and that you have given to me and everyone around you.  I hope you have the happiest of Birthdays!

Dedicated to urbanmama1:

WHAT?  Someone has managed to beat me to combining my two favorite things:  Harry Potter and CUPCAKES!

These Butterbeer cupcakes are SO on the menu for all future Harry Potter Parties!

DELICIOUSNESS AWAITS

You're welcome.

I just pre-ordered my copy of the new Deathly Hallows DVD, I should get it on the day it comes out!!!

mugglemama  inspired me to get crackin' by posting the most ADORABLE deleted scene ever, so I knew that I had to get the DVD in my greedy little hands as soon as possible!

Agenda for the weekend of April 15th: Curling up on the sofa with some homemade butterbeer  and chocolate frogs (yes I bought a candy mold for them) and watching EVERY tiny bit of footage until I pass out! 

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

urbanmama1  came up with the super-fantastic idea of doing a birthday fic for our beloved mugglemama  as a project together, each of us taking turns writing the characters' POV.
She wrote the Hermione bits and I wrote the Ron bits and it was heaps and heaps of fun!

She is of course a genius, which I have always known, but it was wonderfully fun to work with her on this project and I hope you enjoy it! 

Special thanks to tmblue  for pitching in with her Beta skills!

 

( Happy Birthday, mugglemama! )

 

 

 

 

 

Here is your fic, darling, finally finished!!!!!  (I bet you thought this day would never come!)

You're awesome and amazing, and I was so thrilled to be able to write something just for you!

Superawesome thanks to tristelamar_23 who was an incredible help as my Beta, and who came up with the title!

So I'm stealing this idea from tristelamar_23, because it looked fuuuuuuun!

I can never quite find a famous face to match my mental images of HP characters, and I must admit that, for the most part, the movie actors don't even come close for me. (not that Rupert isn't super-cute or anything!)

So I decided to try and find actors that approximately embody the way I see some of my fave characters, George Weasley, Angelina Johnson, Percy Weasley, and Hermione Granger.


( Cut because this got waaaaaaaay too long! )

Who do you think captures your mental images of characters best?

I am gobsmacked to discover that some of my writing and artwork was nominated for the Ron and Hermione Awards!! 
Thank you, thank you to whoever nominated me!  RHr forever!!!

Title: The Soreness of Accomplishment
Rating: PG-13 for language
Pairing: Ron and Hermione
Author:wordsmithsonian 
Dedicated to: urbanmama1 

This is a little bonus gift fic for my sweet, lovely, understanding, and most importantly patient urbanmama1 .  Since the prompt for her charity gift fic has absolutely run away with me and is demanding far more than one-shot lengthitude, I decided that she deserved a little something extra for her patience.

Thanks to tristelamar_23  for her sweet Beta skillz (she has them), and for generously giving me the adorable phrase that inspired this entire fic.

Thanks to urbanmama1  for being an absolute sweetheart, and for putting up with me through thick and thin.  You're wonderfully extraordinary, I hope you know that!

For urbanmama1 :

Make a voice post with the following things so that your F-list can hear how you pronounce them (and laugh at you, of course):

* Your name and/or username
* Where you’re from
* The words “roof”, “aunt”, “direction”, and “naturally”; to which list the Q family appended “school”, “book”, “g’day”, “castle”, “grass”, “aluminium”, “herbs”, and “caramel” - and I added "dynasty", "theatre", "adult", "garage", "advertisment", "fertile", "anaesthetist", "banana", "Berkshire", "Derby", "Hertford"
* Your favourite song

* A word in a different language

Enjoy the awkwardness! Note that I managed to avoid saying "y'all" the entire time! *pats self on back*

Title: Piano Lesson
Author: wordsmithsonian
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Hermione gives Ron an impromptu piano lesson, but his mind wanders elsewhere. Inspired by a little throwaway scene in the new DH film, but not very spoilery. Please forgive any wonkiness, since half of this was written around 4am when I got back from the premiere!
