Hi,
I really don`t know, if I`m in danger to make a perfect fool of
myself, now, by possibly riding a Dead Horse ( positively the only
horses I`m capable to clamber without any help in regarding of my
deficient height, sadly)- all the same: lately, whilst proudly
proving my parents wrong by citing from my lexicon ( could be a song,
eh?), I stumbled over the term "Vila". Whereas the spelling differs a
bit from "Veela", it shouldn`t distract that much, since that lexicon
is in German.
I always thought JKR made those creatures up. Indubitable, the
calculation "Vila" = "Veela" seems to be about right, since:
"Vilas" are maids of marvellous beauty, with floating blond hair,
recurrently in the shape of hawks (!), swans, wolfes or horses. Next
was chilling news to me: "Vilas" are the restless souls of deceased
maids, coming back to lure clueless men in their fatal round dance.
The "Vila"- legends are Slavonic folklore, were "Vilas" are some sort
of wind- or death ghosts. (gives the impression Mr. Weasley has full
right to warn his boys about the Veelas, doesn`t it? And how "veela"
is Fleur
just
errr
curious *shivers*)
Oh, the source is: "Knaurs Lexikon der Mythologie".
Dug up news (haven`t got the time to check The HP Lexicon and
archives, very sorry.)? Hope so, since the weather promises to make
all old stuff fast foul.
*offtolurkdom*
Oh, oh, oh, oh, OH! *FIVE* days until Happy- Potter- Day! Therefore
I´ll better make MY rock- solid predictions ( uh- seeing that my
predictions are *way* too unsophisticated I calculated: ¼+ ¼+ ¼+ ¼= 1
forecast, accepted?):
a) there is going to be an Anti- Muggle- campaign in Hogwarts (then
Hermione shifts from SPEW to HMMM!- Haven for Muggles marked
Mudbloods)
allowed, from the time when Dumbledore is no longer
Hogwart`s Headmaster shattering that fusty sort of conflict
b) we will gain knowledge of about the Giant Squid (maybe it`s there
for an economic cause? Remember Hogwarts apears to have it`s unique
greenish ink. Oh well, just a thought)
almost certainly we won´t
learn for what obscure reason the Slytherin Common Rooms are located
*below* The Lake (*huffsinfrustration*)
c) Either Ron (Eloise?) or Hermione (Neville?) will be kissed against
their will- or both of them *wink*- that would be the two of them
kissing each other during a row (Oh, how hollywoodish would THAT be!?
Heavens help! *h/hrsphippercomingthrough*). Rrroight!
d) Hagrids death (Sooo confident .annie., really? Supposed to be,
since I have exactly 26 bets on it- either OotP makes me rich, or
very, very poor and timorous. Oh, my.) is causing the trio to cement -
for good- after a *really* horrible dispute *pipesfarmerofthedell*.
e) Either Ginny or Neville will join the trio after a mountain- troll-
ish rescuing act. (*stillstickingtoaneville/ginnySHIP*)
oh, obviously mathematics and English arn`t counting to my
strengths, pity.
Cheers, fellow HP- fans,
.annie.
