Hello everyone and welcome to the chattiest section of SOUP! This issue I traveled all the way to Hobbit Land to chat with our guest today. I wondered how I could fit New Beginnings into this interrogation, and I figured who better to ask than ADELETHEHOBBIT (she was the only one I didn't scare away). Enough with the introduction- onto the interview!
Katie: Question 1: This month's theme is new beginnings, what does that mean to you?
Adele: New Beginnings, to me, means a chance at starting over. Now that can mean any number of things really, - a project, job, relationship. Pretty much anything can be a new start if you wish it to be. For me, it's a chance to close the door on a chapter of my life and start a new, hopefully better, one.
Katie: How very nice. How has your transition from Prefect to SKWAD been? Tell us all about that new beginning?
Adele: It has been hard really in some ways as some things I could do I now can't but I am so happy to be able to carry on working for the house in both Noble Houses and Mentor SKWADs. I'm settling down and loving every minute of being a SKWADlet. It does make a change to have less to do but it's also great to still have the opportunity to work for the house as well.
Katie: *is busy looking at the Hobbit home* *realizes Adele has stopped talking* Oh yes, that's wonderful. And speaking of other new stuff, let's talk about that new username!
Adele: Yes! It was a long time deciding but I finally changed it. I'm a fairy and unicorn-loving Hobbit who is now suffering the blood type dilemma of whether I should change to Hobbit or leave it. Middle Earth has become such a comfort to me over the past 18 months or so and the Shire seems to be the perfect place to go. I honestly don't think I'd have made it through the last few months without the world of Middle Earth.
Katie: Change it- do it. Do it now. And that new fancy title?
Adele: Ah yes. The RPC mod. That was honestly a surprise as I was toying with applying and then ended up doing so. I love to roleplay so that was an obvious position for me to do. I've also worked in the SRPC for a while now so I think that says how much I love RP.
Katie: Wow, that's great! RPing certainly is amazing. Now, my next question is very important. Why did the chicken cross the road? And to fit our theme, you must create a new beginning/answer.
Adele: To get away from Gandalf's horse and cart. Fireworks can be dangerous for chickens you know.
Katie: *writes down in green crayon: Adele is discriminative when it comes to chickens and fireworks* uhhhhhhhhhhhhh what are your goals for this new school year?
Adele: Earn as many HPs as I can and try to enter more contests when I can. I already lost my perfect score so aiming for Top Student now.
Katie: Very interesting. Now the last question- Would you rather create a new beginning for HP or a new ending?
Adele: I think a new ending, one where there were more details on characters we know next to nothing about and their stories after the Battle of Hogwarts such as the Malfoys, etc.
Katie: Well that's the wrong answer since you're supposed to say new beginning but like okay. Well, that's it *gets up and walks away*
HERE IS AN ACROSTIC POEM I FORCED ADELE TO WRITE
Now presenting a beautiful poem 'New Beginnings'
New beginnings are a time to start over
Everyone needs one from time to time
Whether it's to close off the good or bad.
Books open and close with the turn of a page
Even our lives are a very long book that
Goes on and but even so a time comes when
It's time to close a chapter yourself and take control
Never be afraid to force a new chapter but
Never forget the past chapter as they
Include memories to treasure
Never to forget along with
Great lessons and things that hold a
Special place in your heart as you begin your new chapter.
Thank you to Adele for taking your time to answer some questions!
Until I reemerge from my cave again, this is goodbye from your favorite pureblood Slytherin!
