What Would You Do If You Were Not Afraid?.

   Haha. I actually get to relate something from my own life to Harry and the Potters. For you who don’t know who this is, it’s the first wrock band, ever, along with the Switchblade Kittens. Many have been created since then. They write good songs, though, they may not be the best singers, haha. Anyways, they tell the story of Harry Potter, through songs. One song is called “Dumbledores Amry”, and tells how you have to ’stand up for what is right’ and ‘face your greatest fears’ . I am not afraid of many things, mainly because influences from Harry and the Potters. Many of their songs say we all have to be strong, even if ‘These Days Are Dark’, and look for lights. The line, ‘these days are dark, but we wont fall, we’ll stick together, through it all’ is saying that even though something bad is going on, we all have to be one, not be afraid, and have courage. Im not trying to say im not afraid of anything, believe me I am, haha, I’m just trying to say if we are all sticking together through something that affects us all, we can get through it.
    Ok, so you’re probably wondering what I am afraid of. One of my biggest fears are spiders. I hate them, and never want to see them. The other night i had a spider in my bed, and I screamed for my mother because I was not going to touch it and get it off. I think if i was not afraid of spiders, I would probably have more ….erm…..’simpathy’ towards them, since they do eat like the small bugs and pests. Though, they are creepy and even little ones scare me….*shiver*….
      Another thing, I am usually not afraid of the dark. I know its stupid, but sometimes I just feel like someones watching me, even though I know no one is there. Before I moved downstairs (well, kinda the basement) into my sisters old room, I haven’t been afraid, not at all, and this is the darkest place in the whole house. When I was still in my old room, I would always feel afraid. Its really weird, actually.
    So in all, I think if I were not afraid of some things, I would have more courage to do things. Im the kind of person who really isnt afraid of much, but there are things that scare the life out of me, haha. If I wasn’t afraid of heights, I would go on more hikes in the mountains and do more of that kinds of things I guess…

 We don’t care what The Ministry tells us
We won’t be left defenseless
We don’t care what The Ministry tells us
We won’t be left defenseless

We’re in command
We’re taking a stand
We’re gonna learn this year
We’re gonna get ready
We’ve got to prepare to face our biggest fears
We’re gonna learn to fight
To battle
To stand up for what is right
And when we face down those Death Eaters
We’ll stand up and we’ll say:We’re Dumbledore’s army
We’re Dumbledore’s army

These days are dark
But we won’t fall
We’ll stick together though it all
These days are dark
But we won’t fallThese days are dark
But we won’t fall
We’ll stick together though it all
What comes will come
And when it does
We’ll meet it with all of our courage
