Let me be more clear with my question:
A couple days ago I asked a question but I think some people didn’t really get what I was saying. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort tricks Harry into going to the Department of Mysteries. This is because the prophecy must be removed by the person or people that the prophecy is about. The prophecy is questioned in labelled, “Dark Lord and (?) Harry Potter.”...

We're thinking of taking in my brother's friend,...
After a long discussion of where he would sleep and other specifics, my dad said “I think this is an important issue that we’ve been dancing around. I think Calvin is gay.” My mom, my brother and I just stared at him for a while (it was clear that none of us had even considered this a possibility nor a problem), until finally I asked how that was relevant at all. (I am pansexual...

sunandcolor replied to your chat: My mom (picking up a business card from the store… Actually, quark is a German word for some ingredient I didn’t memorize. So. You’re both right? XD I don’t know if I’m replying to this right… Silly tumblr, I don’t understand you. But I googled it and apparently quark can also be used in cheesecake! But I was referring to this...

My mom (picking up a business card from the store Quark Soup): What does this word mean? Quark?
Me (terribly excited): A quark is a fundamental constituent of matter!!
My mom: Oh, my german friend told me an ingredient in cheesecake and that's what I thought--
Me: Well, it's not, in fact A QUARK IS A FUNDAMENTAL CONSTITUENT OF MATTER OBSERVED IN 1968 THROUGH DEEP ELASTIC SCATTER!
My mom: Oh. Well, thanks?

Shanna is very emotional about books sometimes.
I tend to live by the philosophy that there could be infinite universes, and if it is possible I can assume for my purposes as an 18 year old girl that there are in fact an infinite number of universes. In infinite universes, all possibilities exist, so SOMEWHERE, Katniss Everdeen is just beginning to wonder if Peeta Mellark is not putting on a show after all. And I am (mostly) not ashamed to...

So I got Hunger Games for Christmas.
I read the whole thing in like 5 or 6 hours, which I am honestly pretty proud of. My problem is, I want to look at all the HG related things on Tumblr now that I understand them, but I’ve only read the first book so far so I’m trying to avoid spoilers. I accidentally read something about the series not ending happily… No more HG tag for me until I read all the books.

Question:
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, why did Voldemort trick Harry to go to the Department of Mysteries? He wanted him to get the prophecy, and I believe Bellatrix says something along the lines of “You expect the Dark Lord to just waltz into the Ministry of Magic?” But then Voldemort shows up, so why didn’t he get it himself to begin with?

I’m talking to a family friend who graduated from Wayne State 20 years ago. “So are most of your classes in state?” I meeeeean, what is he talking about? Of course they’re in state… What the fuck does he mean? Don’t worry, Shanna, smile and nod. Or, just look confused. Oh, perfect, do a combination of the two. Will this awkward silence never end? Look at the...

So I’m making smalltalk with some family friend, and she asks me about my major. I say I’m going into secondary education to be a high school biology or spanish teacher. With a smile on her face, she says “But you’ll take what you can get, right? I had a friend who wanted to teach eight grade and had to take a job teaching first graders. It’ll be almost impossible for...
