Violets Are Blue Book Report

Superior Essays
Violets Are Blue has been one of my favorite books for a long time, I started reading it, since the first book was halfway through being published. This books holds suspense, anger, sadness, and great action. It’s a very interesting story, showing the struggles of school, and relationships, and just how dangerous life is - at Hogwarts of course. The author has spent hours upon hours, setting up the plot, writing it, adding more and more detail, and it appeals to so many different emotions, I almost broke my laptop once or twice. Writers like this inspire me so much, and I’m so happy I’ve had the chance to read this story.

As you can see, they didn’t get off to the best start. Throughout the course of first year, Kat and Draco didn’t see each other, if it weren’t in the midst of the crowded hallways of Hogwarts between classes, before one day, Draco went for a walk near the black lake, and being the idiot he is, ran into an enormous black wolf. Kat - being an animagus - saved him, in her white tiger form. As school began to shift from winter to spring, and spring to summer, Draco and Kat have begun to hang out and get to know each other quite better. In the …show more content…
Kat is finally moving things along with Draco, or as Penelope would say; ‘getting the barrel rolling’. Their relationship is advancing beautifully, and in the beginning of year three, Kat drags Draco away from his friends, and Pansy, into the owlery for a mini - date, where Kat packed an adorable little dinner, and where they asked each other anything they wanted to know, and just talked for hours. Meanwhile her cousin Laora disappears, while she begins to take part in the dark arts. During this time frame, Kat begins to start getting sick, well not exactly sick, but random occurrences where she can’t breath at all. Kat doesn’t believe everything is alright, but Madam Pomfrey, insist that it’s just side effects of a cold. On their trip to Hogsmeade, Madam Pomfrey gave Kat a note, to be able to head to the doctor (Akriel) to check on her, while Kat and Draco have a date set up, to meet outside the post office. Draco would’ve taken her onto the path that lead through the weeping willow trees, if it hadn’t been for Sandra Hepburn - another Slytherin, that kissed Draco right as Kat was walking up to the spot they were supposed to meet, after she found out about her deathly illness. Akriel found a way to cure her, but only one has succeeded with this before; she has to kill her animagus. During the beginning of year four, the Goblet of Fire chose which wizards would be participating in the Triwizard Tournament, first from
