My Query be this:

Where does the tunnel from the Whomping Willow lead?

(nice easy one. I didnt bring ny list of hard questions with me today.)

I need a specific place, not just names of towns/villages, it needs to be more specific than that...

dmalfoy · 10th October 2001, 04:36 PM

Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade.

Sinistra · 10th October 2001, 06:16 PM

That's good enough for me!

(Bu treally, you couldnt be anymore specific, so It IS good enough!)

Anyway, your turn...so ask the next question already!

Trunks · 10th October 2001, 06:28 PM

i could!! the living room of the shreiking shack in the village of hogsmead in scotland so

ner LMAO!

Sinistra · 10th October 2001, 06:42 PM

dmalfoy has given the answer I was looking for, so it's still her turn, although this game does get kinda slow, and dmalfoy isn't here very often.

Yes, the tunnel leads to the living room of tghe Shrieking shack, but it could also lead to a kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom. Where in the Harry Potter books does it actually mention that Hogwarts is in Scotland?

Sinistra · 12th October 2001, 05:36 PM

oh where has dmalfoy gone.....
i'm gonna have to talk to dmalfoy wheni see them next...

dmalfoy · 15th October 2001, 04:14 PM

Ok i want this name deciphered
1 what does Malfoy mean
2 Draco is the name of something in the sky (in the real world)what is it ?
3 and in which hemisphere.
Ok all three in order to get it right!

Sinistra · 15th October 2001, 04:31 PM

that is evil. really evil. that's all i can say for now.

Sinistra · 15th October 2001, 07:02 PM

This has nothing to do with the answer, well sort of, it's something I found while searching for 'malfoy'

enjoy!!!

Malfoy
Malfoys are instinctively defensive, and colonize like ants in underground homes.

They're another intelligent animal native to Gargantua, and usually feel the need to take up jobs in the military, or police forces, though the economy and ecology of Similip is excellent and no one truly needs to work.

Having no vocal chords, malfoys communicate through a series of clicks on their pincers.

Their bodies are segmented into varying numbers with a set of legs attached to each segment. On their faces are two bent-down, blunt horns, and two stubby little horns just above the nostrils. Below the nostrils is the split tongue, tipped with small grooved teeth attached to venom sacs inside the malfoy's mouth.

OOOOOKAY what on earth have you been looking at. Ok I'll say the answer to the first Q? i asked was Bad faith. Now the other two are not in the fictional world of HP. To find what Draco is in real life. Look up into the sky and to find which hemisphere of the world its in USE AN ATLAS! But be careful Draco is nocturnal.

Sinistra · 16th October 2001, 01:24 PM

I foigured out what Draco is last night, or at least I think I did, I need some maps to check, but let's just say I got my inspiration by looking into the sky.

The way I got malfoy was bad, for mal, and foy could not be found in latin or in french, so wherever you find bad faith needs their sources checking.

Sinistra · 16th October 2001, 02:18 PM

What I thought was right:

SO here's my answer:

'Malfoy' means bad, and foy can be interpreted as meaning 'mistake', but the dictionaries I looked through did not have 'foy' in them anywhere.

'Draco' is a constellation, lying SE of Ursa Minor, and N of Lyra and Hercules.

The hemispheer it is in is the northern hemisphere, at a declination of 65 degrees and is visible between latitudes of 90 and -15 degrees.

Like any good historian (or anyone researching) I will now give my sources:

The Internet Public Library

Lycos Reference

Sinistra · 24th October 2001, 03:38 PM
