Okay, so
peppery_lime and I were talking about the names of Hurricanes. And how some of the names aren't all that ... impressive, let's say. So, we decided to come up with names that anyone who knows HP can easily relate to.
And because we have no life. *grins*
So, without further ado, I proudly present to you:
Harry Potter Hurricane Names
A: Hurricane Albus -- Category 3 storm, decent amount of destruction, but far too manipulative... tries to sneak up on the coastline and instead fades out due to the obsession with hitting Muggle candy shops.
B: Hurricane Boris (as in the Bewildered) -- Wandered up and down from Category one to five, and all over the ocean, because it couldn't decide where it wanted to go.
C: Charlie -- Sometimes overlooked, though still potentially dangerous. Tends to stick to Europe, though. Specifically countries near Romania and the like. Also see: Hurricane Weasley
D: Hurricane Draco -- Exceedingly destructive, in a petty sort of way, rather mediocre in rating, never beyond a category 2
E: Hurricane Evans -- A Category 3 that is fairly mysterious, often considered not dangerous by those who consider themselves more powerful. is capable of breaking off into smaller, just as potent storms, usually referred to as: Lily, Petunia, and Mark
F: Hurricane Firenze -- Mystical and vague, powerful and capable of being incredibly destructive, but rather quiescent
G: Hurricane Gryffindor -- Category 4 with strong potential of becoming 5. Bold and strong, yet seems to have some sort of nobility and hits non-residential areas, which causes massive damage but very minimal loss of human life. Snakes, though, don't stand a chance.
H: Hurricane Harry (c'mon, you knew it would be here) -- Powerful Category 5 storm, though it tends to steer clear of largely populated areas, as if in fear.
I: Hurricane Igor -- More commonly referred to as Karkaroff. Barely a category 2 storm, although does have the potential to be stronger. However, rather than actually attack land it tends to flee to the furthest point it can find
J: Hurricane Jorkins -- Also known as Bertha, this hurricane is a Category 1 storm, and if storms had intelligence, would be incredibly stupid. Originally aimed towards a highly populated location, this storm usually winds up in the middle of no where, spinning ineffectually
K: Hurricane Kingsley -- Sometimes (though not often) referred to as Shacklebolt. A Category 3 storm, this one takes the pose of a rather unassuming authority figure, but is not quite what it seems. It is best not to get on its bad side, though, as should it decide you are a threat, it could pose a real danger.
L: Hurricane Lucius -- A category 3 storm, with the potential for disaster. This storm usually winds up full of hot air, though, and deflates the minute it encounters resistance, winding up stuck in one stationary place, slowly loosing strength
M: Hurricane Minerva -- A Category 4 storm, this one can pack quite the wallop should it so choose. Noted for its ability to take on an unassuming form, most do not realize this storm is even around until it is too late. May seem a bit stuffy at times, it has a history of out-witting and offering a semblance of control over some of the more powerful storms ever recorded. Not to be taken lightly, that is for certain.
N: Hurricane Neville -- Another Category five storm, but only in certain circumstances. Usually perceived as a weak Category 1 storm, this storm will occasionally turn around and wallop something
O: Hurricane Ollivander. Though only a mere Category 2 storm, this storm is not to be taken for granted. It has assisted most every other storm recorded in achieving their true potential and has been around for quite some time.
P: Hurricane Percy -- A Category 2 storm, rapidly weakening to a Category 1 at any given time, this storm pretends it knows where its going, but usually winds up in the middle of a large body of water.
Q: Hurricane Quirrell -- A Category 2 storm that is merely a stepping stone for other, more powerful storms that decide to come along. Still rather cunning, often changing course mid-spin, it is not to be underestimated. However, when faced with a Category 3 or higher storm, this one tends to fall apart into nothingness.
R: Hurricane Rubeus. Also known as Hagrid, this is a large storm, covering an expansive area of water, occasionally swelling in power to be a category 5 storm when confronted with what it may or may not consider (being not sentient) an injustice.
S: Hurricane Severus -- Also known as Snape and Snivellus. A Category 4 storm, especially when provoked. Known for its ability to wreak destruction, especially upon less civilized societies and those whom are unprepared for its wrath, it is always best to avoid this storm at all cost unless properly armed for defense.
T: Hurricane Tonks -- This storm changes so dramatically from moment to moment that it is impossible to classify it. First a tiny, self contained category 2, then a large sprawling category 5, this storm's ever changing features tend to make all who see it coming run for cover
U: Hurricane Umbridge -- A mere Category 1 storm for the most part, it is rather powerless, though still quite nasty when aligned with other, more powerful storms. Noted for its ability to seem harmless yet be anything but, this storm also has a major aversion to anything equine-related.
V: Hurricane Voldemort -- A very, very powerful category 5 storm, this does the most damage to highly populated areas of common people, i.e., not the major cities but willingly clobbers farming communities
W: Hurricane Weasley -- A Category 5 that is also a very unique storm, this one is noted for its ability to break off into many smaller storms, all which pose some sort of threat or another. It is also quite capable of stretching a small amount of winds and water a VERY long way.
X: Hurricane Xavier -- A very tiny hurricane, barely a category 1 storm, unknown to any but those who get dumped on by its rain
Y: Hurricane You-Know-Who -- See Hurricane Voldemort.
Z: Hurricane Zabini -- Also known as Blaise, this storm has developed an almost cult following, astonishing for a storm of it's apparently small power levels. Not much is known about this storm, though there is plenty of conjecture.
