2019: Meet Harron Peasley

[Harron Peasley]

Hi everyone! Welcome to the month of November and your chance to meet Harron Peasley - ME! My name is Laura, or Lawra as some people around here know me.

I'm pretty glad I got November because it's my birthday month. If I didn't hate the cold, wet English autumn it would be the best month of the year. But I'm a summer baby at heart!

I've been on SS since April 2009, so I celebrated my 10 year anniversary earlier this year. I've come and gone over the years - my absences mostly happened due to exam periods IRL - but I always find my way back into the SS community. Right now I've a student and Ministry employees, and I moderate the non-HP forum, 4 Privet Drive, and our very own book club, The Book Seekers.

Away from SS, I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry a year ago this month! time flies and currently work for a chemical company in technical sales and STEM outreach. STEM outreach is one of my biggest passions, and something I've had a job in since I started university.

So... any questions?

Eeeeee.

Hai Lauraaa <3333

I have a few questions for you! <3

1) What is your favourite discipline in STEM?

2) If you could pick one book that you would have us all read for the Book Seekers, what would you pick and why?

3) What is your favourite song right now?

<3

Hiii lovely! Thank you for being the first to ask me questions!

1. Picking one is so hard! I loved my degree in biochemistry, but I have such a massive interest in engineering, and this along with computer science (because we need SO MANY MORE engineers and computer scientists in the world) are some of my favourite to promote. I think the one I find most interesting and would love to study further would be biomedical engineering.

2. Noughts + Crosses by Malorie Blackman. It's been one of my favourite books since I was young, and is one I believe everyone should read at some point. It's incredibly poignant and powerful, and just as relevant today as it was when it was first released.

3. I've had Waking Up Easy by Lime Cordiale on repeat for a few weeks now, so I'll go with that!

THIS IS SO DIFFICULT. I want to go to SO MANY places but I shall chose... Italy. EVERYWHERE in Italy.

[TeafortheSoul]

it literally took me like 8 years to figure out your username, so like, explain it to the people in case they're as slow as I am?

[natekka]

Laaaaaaawra.

Hello, my fellow mod! Firstly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTH. What date is your birthday? Mine's the 9th this month! So, pretty soon. And I'm with you on the weather in England, I much prefer warmer weather. Crop tops FTW.

I have a few questions:

1. What's your favourite animal?
2. What's your favourite COLOUR?
3. If you could have any superpower, what would you pick?
4. And finally, why should the people join our book club?

P.S. let's go to Italy together, ok??

This is so funny.

My username is a mash-up of Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley.

YAY that's SO SOOOOON. Mine is the 17th!! I'm gonna be OLD.

1. DOGS. DOGS ALWAYS. I also really love big cats, especially lions.
2. Why is this question always so difficult to answer? It shouldn't be. I like purple and blue, but my favourite colour to wear is red lol.
3. Telekinesis. Or to be able to speak to dogs. IDK I'm bad at picking things.
4. Because talking about books with other nerds is the greatest thing ever.

P.S. I'll start saving.

Hiiiii cutie patootie smarty pants! I have some questions for you!

1) When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
2) Do you have a favorite character that you like to play on SS?
3) Have you ever met an SSer in real life?

[sweetpinkpixie]

LAURAAAAAAA

1. Do you have any superstitions?
2. What is something that you recommend everyone try at least once?
3. If you could jump into a pool of something, what would that pool consist of?
4. If you could spend a day with any character from the Harry Potter universe, who would it be and what would you do?
5. Same question but with your RP brain babies as the subject

*SWOOOONS*

1. A pathologist! From the age of about 8. I was a weird kid, but I'd still love to do that job if I could.
2. Currently I really enjoy playing my school character, Józef. He's a pain and a nuisance and SO MUCH fun and I feel bad for everyone who interacts with him. And Adam, the OG Stemp, who has grown so so much since I brought him into the RP.
3. I have indeed! Shannon (Shanners) - I've met Shan on multiple occasions: she is one of my best friends ever and I'm so glad SS gave me the chance to meet her.

HAI.

1. I don't have any superstitions, no, but I'm incredibly unlucky so maybe I should?
2. Volunteer/fundraiser/help out - whether it's something as simple as helping a neighbour out or being part of a big campaign, everyone should do something that helps others/a cause even if it seems like a lot of effort or something you wont be rewarded for.
3. Charlie Weasley! I'd love to shadow him at work and help out with the dragons, then go back to the Burrow for a game of Quidditch!
4. ..... Erm. THIS IS DIFFICULT I DON'T LIKE MY CHARACTERS THEY ALL ANNOYING. Maybe Albert? Because he's kind of annoying but not in a 'please leave me alone' kind of way? Yeah, Albert Darcy - we'd do a high ropes course and then go to a football match.

[Shanners]

MY LIL BEST FRIEND SQUISH BUB LOVE OF MY LYF.

I adore you, first off. I also adore your smart lil brain and will ask you all of the science questions when I'm teaching because I can.

QUIZTIONS THO.

1. I know your UN is Harry and Ron's names together, but what's the story? What made you decide to use it as your UN? How did you put the names together and decide 'das who I wanna b?'

2. Why Lawra? Which loon came up with that and why on earth did it stick?!

3. If you could relocate to anywhere in the world (and obviously take everyone you need close by with you) where would it be and why?

4. What is your most prized possession?

5. FAVOURITE FOOD?!

[Jessiqua]

o hi HI! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTH! A few things before I get started *arranges papers*
a) I am definitely one of those slow people Tegan is referring to, and now that I know the truth I LOVE YOUR UN SO MUCH
b) if you'd like, we can swap places. I can't stand summer here in Australia (it's IMPENDING DOOM), and I loooooooOOOOooveeeeee England autumn/winter weather.
c) DOGGES! I love that you wish you could talk to dogs. I wish I knew what my dog was thinking.

So, my queeeeeesions!
1. Have you read A Dog's Purpose? Or watched the movie? I mean, I kind of recommend it because it's so amazing, but I don't because I cried 3 times in the book and... oh, I mean MULTIPLE times in the movie.
2. Do you have pets!?
3. What is your favourite book read last year?
4. If you could pick any book to have a sequel (or a... part 11?), what would it be?

HI MOST BEAUTIFUL BEST PAL.

Please do quiz me but don't blame me when I get the answers wrong omg

1. ERRRRRRRRRRRR. I remember my friend saying if you combined Harry and Ron it would have been the ultimate character, and I suggested you would call said character Harron Peasley. And, ta-dah! When I joined a Harry Potter site it seemed so fitting!

2. YOU? Maybe? Omg you're definitely the reason it stuck but who came up with it omg I can't remember I'm so terrible

3. This is the hardest question ever which I probably say about every question asked of me ever. Maybe an uninhabited island? Or Australia.

4. SO DIFFICULT. I have a ring that my grandfather gifted to my mother, who then gave it to me, and a watch that my dad bought for my mum for their first anniversary that she, again, gave to me. They're the two that immediately spring to mind.

5. PIZZA? PASTA? PAELLA? I love ALL of the food.

THANK YOU.

a) I'm so glad you love it!!!
b) ERM. PSYCHIC. See question 3 from Shannon above. ^^^^^
c) This is the dream.

YAY questions.

1. I haven't but I remember seeing the trailer when the film came out and thinking, "I can't go to the cinema and watch that because I'll cry too much." So it's definitely on my to watch, and now to read lists.

2. I have a miniature labradoodle called Bella (short for Bellatrix lol) who is my LIFE. She's 6 and acts like the most excitable puppy still. We lost our other dog, Archie, earlier this year - he was a bichon who lived the best, long life and gave us so much.

3. The Jigsaw Man by Paul Britton. It's a non-fiction book by one of the UKs foremost criminal profilers and forensic psychologist about his career and it's fascinating. Terrifying, but fascinating.

4. I'd like the next Noughts + Crosses book to be out already, but I know that that's coming so... In the past, I would have loved a prequel of Harry Potter, about the Marauder's, but now I don't particularly want anymore Potter material. But, gosh, this question is supremely difficult. I'm going to have to get back to you on this one...

[Talikins]

I didn't know we shared a birthday month! Wishing you a beautiful birthday and year ahead!

Buuuuut le questions:

1) What is the one thing the SS community taught you?
2) What is your dream job?
3)Do you have any secret hidden talents?

[PhoenixRising]

Hi nerd

I'm here to say I'm also one of those people who never knew the story behind your username .... /slow. And wow. Brilliant, but honestly, I shouldn't really be THAT surprised, cause you're a smarty ravenclaw

OKAY, second, I LOVE that you wanted you to be a pathologist, considering I never even knew that existed until about five years ago And I work in pathology so yea.

1. What do you find MOST fascinating about pathology? Why'd you change your mind?

<3 You cutie. Wishing you all the best for yours, too.

1. That you can be ridiculously close friends with people you've never met before.
2. A forensic pathologist.
3. Nope, all of my (very limited) talents are completely not-secret.

I am a Ravenclaw, but not sure how smarty.

It combines research and diagnoses, and it's like it contains all the answers to a puzzle. I don't know that there's one part that particularly fascinates me, I think its the collective overall 'answer-finding' that I love.

I didn't change my mind, I just didn't get to study medicine at university the universe decided it wasn't my path.
