Pottermore, one more time

emmagrant01I woke up at 4:57 this morning for some unknown reason, and so I decided to grab my phone off the nightstand and see what was going on on Pottermore. Nothing yet, which made me think hey, maybe I can actually see the clue today. I checked again at 5:02, and the clue was up.
So I grabbed a copy of POA, figured out the answer, opened up my computer and started trying to find that quill. For a solid half-hour I got nothing but that auto-refresh page. I whined about this on Twitter, ended up chatting to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kriken, and only then found out I had the wrong answer anyway. Despite all of my academic and professional qualifications, I hadn't read the damn question carefully enough. AHEAD. (Though in my defense, I swear the text said "Gryffindor is ahead by 80 points to 20" and you can see how I could miss that in a quick read at 5:00 am...) Still, my students are going to get a laugh out of that one.
So I start trying again, this time with the correct answer. In the meantime, the very kind__hibiscus, having gotten through to the actual registration page herself, took pity on me and offered to register me. I may have squeed a little (quietly, because everyone in my house was happily still asleep), and sent her my info.
Of course, at that point, I finally managed to get through and saw the quill. It took me another ten minutes to figure out how to levitate it. By the time I finally got the link to the registration page, registration was closed. Of course,__hibiscus had already registered me, yay!
But seriously, I think I'm a Squib. How did I manage to fuck that up at every possible step? I think I will try again just to redeem myself, then offer up a registration on Twitter. :-P
