A few words..

[TrishyKay]

So. I guess since the club is compleeeetly not active now, we're closing.. The school at least. I'm not going to delete the site, because we need SOMEthing to keep us talking and still "together".

I feel bad for letting it get this bad, but I tried.. I honestly did. It's just sad. I grew up with the club. The club was so humongously important to me, and we all used to be SO close. It's sad to watch our relationships drift because the club isn't really around to keep us all so tightly knit.

I will NEVER, EVER forget HP4eva and HPA. I had so many fun times with the clubbies.. I honestly hope I get to meet some of the people I've met in this club in real life. We should talk more about that reunion thing.

So.. for the mushy words:

I wouldn't be the person I am today without ya'll. HP4eva/HPA helped me in so many ways.. It was my creative outlet and the thing I ran to when I needed something familiar to cling on to. I normally have issues letting things that are important to me go, but in my mind, I'm not really letting the club go. In a way, it's like one of my pets died or something.. the pet gets buried, but I still think about them when something reminds me of them, or when I want to think about something in my life that was good. I'm burying the club in my memories, so I will never forget any of you and what you've done for me.. you'll always be right there so I can dig you up and reminisce.

Thank you for being a part of one of the most important things in my life, guys. I appreciate *every*thing ya'll ever did for me & Jenn (and Kris!) and the club and the members. Even without just one of you, it wouldn't be the same. The memories wouldn't be as good. The fun wouldn't have been as fun. And the club wouldn't have been so special.

We had a great thing. Never forget the people you met and the friends you made and the memories we shared, guys. In the end, that's all we really have left of our lives.

And in the end, it was a woooonderful thing. HPA was never as good as HP4eva, but we gave it our best try. HP4eva was just too awesome to live up to.

I LOVE you, you guys. I love the club and I love all the memories that I have that I can look back on and smile about and think to myself, "God, we were such dorks.. but we were awesome." And we are. All of ya'll are special to me and brought me good things.

I don't regret a minute of this. I'm sad that it didn't work out like I wanted it to, but there comes a point where you just have to let stuff go.. Sometimes it'll come back, sometimes it won't. Either way, I'm happy. I'm happy if you're reading this too, because we need a proper goodbye.

Never hesitate to IM me, or even anyone else in the club. There's always something to talk about, even if it is just stupid stuff from the club.. I'm sure we all want to hear from eachother once in a while, if not every single day.

Stay strong. Keep in touch. And remember! Never forget!

One last time..
Headmistress () Trishy~

If i were to say something I'd say that same thing, really.

Its weird for me realizing its not coming back. Its like an unfimilar aftertaste left after having a taste of something amazing. But aftertastes fade.

Its also like leaving home and become an adult unexpectedly the day you graduate or turn 18. Thrown out into the world all grown up and alone. But not alone because we have each other. I met some of the absolute greatest people. I may not ever meet them but I still would never trade than for any person I could be neighbors with.

Honestly the biggest regret and the hardest part of the club was never being able to hug a friend when they needed it most. That hurts.

I miss everyone but that last post I wrote in the "This is going nowhere" topic, as I was writing it I realized its over. We let the club slip from our minds all the magic it stowed and all the saftey.

I love everyone too. I will always. And if anyone ever needs me dont hesitate okay?

Well, Im gonna miss having a huge workload on here I remember running the Quidditch (within Gryffie house), the duelling (amongst the Gryffie house) a shop, Potions class and a DP article... Im really gonna miss having shitloads to do (and having stuff to do while I'm online)
**shrugs** No1 will miss me I was just the cling on around here

[melimsah]

Hey guys

Yeah. The club is kinda gone, in the sense of doing homework and stuff like that. And I'm sad because I have drifted away from the lot of ya. I'm sometimes sad about it, but it had to happen eventually. And I guess I've kinda changed over the past year or so... can you believe that I have done literally no fanfic writing of any kind since I started being inactive? No lie! It's a scary thought, now that I think of it, remembering ol' Lighty and her long-ass, multi-post fanfics, always having some story going through my head. Even if I hadn't changed, I would never have been able to play the role I used to in this club, having nine classes and hardly any free time. Not to mention the completely derailment of my brain that came with my boyfriend... that really sucks. Haven't been able to get that train of thought back on track... what was I talking about? Ooh, a poodle!

Now, I can't say that I don't regret ANY moment in the club - those of you who go back far enough with me know where some of my few regrets lie - but I'm not sorry I joined. It was a great experience, during the good months. I'm sorry whenever I pissed anyone off or caused problems or any of that stuff. I loved this club and I love you guys, and at times I miss you all, especially people like Trishy or Kay or Nat or Dragon or any of my fellow Ravies and some of my once-fellow Slythies. I wish I could talk with you guys more often.

I guess maybe I'll pop in every once in awhile and see if any new posts are up. Haven't we ever considered making a myspace group? That would be a neat idea, since they have forums too, but there is that nice nostalgia of coming back here to talk....

Everyone give lots of Karma to Trishy, our lovely headmistress! She was wonderful and truly tried hard and succeeded quite well for a long time. If I could, I would bake her a lovely cake that said "The most awesomest headmistress EVA!" Btw... Did you ever consider the wrongness of the word headmistress? Head...mistress... Yes. She is the mistress of all our heads. *sblack person sblack person* Sorry. I can't shut up my dirty derailed mind.

See you all around! Enjoy your new lives, graduates of the hp4eva/hpa clubs!!

[MidnightsShadow]

LMAO!!! Lighty, I love you dear, but yes we have considered making a myspace group. I created one, remember? And youre in it. LOLOL! Hahaha Youre still so forgetfull. It also shows just how much attention you pay to things

[evillama05]

Aww trishy and duckie. *hugs* I've made these speeches a hundred times so I know how hard it is. And I know how hard it is to let everything end..*sigh* I love ya'll very much and everyone who has been in both clubs. How could I not? This is not the end though. lol We still have a reunion, (I swear it's going to happen), and we still have the seventh book coming out. That's when it'll really all end. Years of waiting for the new books and the movies and all that good stuff...That's when we'll know its really over. But we'll always have memories, and letters, and Krismas cards.

[NorthCoast]

My only regret is that we didn't finish the Quidditch season out, so Slytherin couldn't whoop Los Hufflebutt's patooties. But we all knew it was going to happen ; )

So gracias, mis amigos, I had a lot of fun. I will sorely miss everything about the club: Hogsmede and hanging out in the shops, the MoM games, Post-a-Thon(gs), Quidditch, newbie bashing, fan-ficking, homework, and the general common room sillyness. I wouldn't have meet any of you if it wasn't for that fateful day when I became a member of Bolt, and I'm glad I did. For almost three years I have grown up here, and this club, and the people in it, has ment a lot for me. So thanks again, to everyone.

P.S. Two things to remember:

(1) Only the coolest people get sent to Azkaban during the MoM game

(2) Slytherin is by far the best house. Those who say otherwise are just jealous. Or kidding themselves.

[evillama05]

lol North, I love your two points. And they are so true.

[TrishyKay]

Suuure they are.

[evillama05]

Aww that was very honest of you to finally admit that Trish. haha

[TrishyKay]

Screw you Kris. I am merely refusing to start an argument.

She turned me into a newt! A newt? .......... I got better.

[TrishyKay]

Note: Above post was not a mean one. I forgot to put a smiley or something to inform you that I really don't mean what I said. heh.

[evillama05]

Oh please girl. As if a little comment like that could send me running for the hills.

Pssh.

[Lauren]

goodness.. everyone saying goodbye is making me sad

[Kat2016]

Cheers North!! We had some good moves for our final Quidditch game too...ah well.

And yes Slytherin is always has been and always will the be the mose kick ass house.

[btvsna]

*grabs a tissue and cries* This is so sad! But I think that everyone is saying the one thing that is the reason why this club has faded away: we all grew up here. Yes, we will always love this club and the people in it, but we've grown up, we have added responsibilities that makes spending hours a day online difficult. We all either have jobs, or college, or we're trying to graduate, or some grown up thing that has taken us from this club, much as we will one day have to leave our parent's home. Both will always be a place of comfort, but we knew we would have to one day move on. But the friendships we have sown here have blossomed into beautiful flowers, perannials, if you will, that won't be pushed aside by winter's cold. And how do I know this, you ask? But Herbology, of course. ^.^

I just think it's wonderful how much the club has done for us all. Not only have we all forged friendships in this club, but a lot of us have figured out what we want to do with our lives based on what we've done in the club. I know I figured out I wanted to be a teacher and not a cop based on how much joy I took in creating and grading the DADA assignments, and I know a couple other members have told me that they made similar discoveries based on other jobs they had around the club.

I love and will miss you all so much, and I want you all to stay in touch. I'm sure you all know, but for those of you who don't, my email is [e-mail]. Dont' be strangers.

Oh, and if we want a reunion/first meeting, I know someone's getting married July of 2007 *coughmecough* and a lot of people from the club have already been asked to come. Just a thoght.

Well, I love you all (and I'm crying again). Keep in touch, or I'll track you down and make Snape do a sexy dance for you in his rainbow thong! hehe *kisses*

[TrishyKay]

The club was just the bomb diggity. We all know it. We all admit it.

Now, to force our rule on the rest of the world..

MWAHA.

[NorthCoast]

Trish, you know deep down in your heart that the two points are true.

Kat I'm so disappointed too, because our plays were awesome. We had like ninja moshpits and cowbell attacks and stuff.

Are there hills in Texas?

[Kat2016]

hills in Texas...good question...Kris?

And hell yes, ninja moves and more attacking Mae in the stands!

And I'm sad project Van never left the garage.

[NorthCoast]

Project Van was probably the most brilliant piece of work in the history of brilliance. Maybe we should round up the rest of the house to finish it and post it anyway.

[turtlelover702]

I"ve been threatening to just write the damn thing, but I'm lazy

[evillama05]

Hills...what exactly constitutes a "hill"? lol I think we have them...where did that come from anyways?

But if we do, I guaran-damn-tee you that they are bigger in Texas.

[Kat2016]

I'd be down for finishing Van and posting it...at least some people would then be able to appriciate it!

[TrishyKay]

Lol Kris. I doubt it. I honestly do. You should see some of the hills up here.. Feels like a damn roller coaster when you go up a few hours past me.

Project Van. Pfft.

[evillama05]

I'd be totally up for helping finish Van. I used to be quite the fanfic writer back in the day...I always thought ya'll had finished it though. Dude, I don't remember the password for slytherin, will someone send it to me?

lol Probably, we have a lot of flat land in texas. Our hills are totally random and the only thing we get out of them is a slight stomach queasiness when we're going down in our horses.

Or cars...lol
