I hope Sirius constantly turned into a dog to get out of arguments with James, because it would mean that James was left with the following options:

  • Being known as the crazy man who is arguing with a dog
  • Rough-housing, and being known as the man who is mean to dogs
  • Submitting to Sirius’s literal puppy-dog eyes, and losing almost every argument they have from the age of 15 onward

The fourth option is to turn into a deer and continue the argument.

Hogwarts student: why does this keep happening

Article 13 got approved and that means the internet will be censored for all countries under the EU. If that happens, it’s likely bloggers from affected countries cannot post content anymore. I wouldn’t be able to post gifs, edits, icons, anything anymore. Even adding links to posts could cost money. You can get more information here and here or simply using google to find information from a source you trust. Please sign the petition here and here (everyone can sign this one apparently) to prevent this from happening. I don’t want to lose my blog.

Not truthiness, just truth.

Yeah well perhaps they should have figured out what a border is first. Because their parents broke the law by Crossing ours and better than spend the time in these facilities than a prison with grown adults who made the human traffickers not even their parents

Actually, let me enlighten you.

These people in detention have not committed a crime.
– I don’t mean that in a moral or a figurative sense. I mean literally. It is NOT a crime to ask for asylum.
– These people didn’t jump a fence, they didn’t sneak into the backyard. They are knocking on the front door and saying “People are trying to kill me in my home country, will you let me in?”
– Now, I didn’t fall off the turnip truck. Some of these people are lying. That’s why you have a hearing. And because they might wander off, these people are held in detention until the hearing.
– This hearing is NOT in a criminal court. It’s in an immigration court. Because these people have not committed a crime.
– Immigration court is not like criminal court. You don’t have a right to an attorney.
– So these people are waiting around, separated from their children, with no attorney, until they get a hearing.
– In 2015, the median wait for an immigration hearing was 404 days.
– Here’s where it gets even more twisted. If people plead guilty to asylum fraud, they get their kids back and get deported.
– So these people knock on the front door, which is perfectly legal, and we take their kids, and tell them the quickest way to get the kids back is to confess to fraud.
– If someone committed a crime (ie. shoplifting, armed robbery, murder) and you took their kids away to make them confess, that confession would be thrown out.
– But these confessions are lawful, because this isn’t criminal court.
– Because these people haven’t committed a crime.

– Now some people think that if we make it so unpleasant for these people, they will stop trying to cross the border.
– But the message this sends isn’t “Go Home.” The message it sends is “Sneak in.”
– If they go home, they think they will be murdered. If they request asylum, they are separated from their children.
– If they sneak in successfully, they’re safe. If they sneak in and get caught, they are no worse off than if they sought asylum legally.
– And remember, these people haven’t committed a crime.
