If you could carry only one memory with you into the afterlife what would it be?

You always wonder what would you miss the most if it was taken away. And now, because of the war…I have lost people.
It is the little things that you miss most; with Sirius I miss seeing the glint he got in his eyes right before he would give Snape a dig. (smiles)
And Percy…I miss the way he looked after me , looked after all of us. He tried so hard.
I think I would want the memory of sitting in our kitchen at home in The Burrow with everyone there; Bill and Charlie home with Harry and Hermione there too. Just smiling , laughing and talking.
That or sitting in the Great Hall for Halloween feast…or in the Common room at Chritstmas by the fire just laughing , just being.
Just so thhat I knew…could see the pople that I love. That I knew we HAD been happy, at least once or twice.
I know that because of the war, because of Voldemort I will probably die fighting him and his followers. If I remember the battles and the loss , then I want to remember the times when we were all happy and all together. So I know that we were figghting for something real.
Something worth dying for.

If you could meet one famouse personality living or dead and smack them in the head with a large trout , who would it be?

I’m not sure if she is really a famous personality but in our world after what she did and at Hogwarts at least , she was.
She made the lives of every student and every teacher here a living hell!
Umbridge. Dolores Umbridge.
Fred and George got some revenge, some real pay back. The swamp…the fire-works..all of it! Perfection.
I’ve never really wanted to hit someone round the head with a trout , but the thought of smacking that woman with a FISH! The satisfaction would be equal to beating the Slytherins 10.000 to nil at Quidditch!
A tout…inspired! If only Fred and George had thought of it first.
Curses and Hexes I can do. Bat Boogey is my speciality, but a fish…that…that would be really good.
Somehow I think that she deserves more, but still. That thought is going to keep my smiling through history of magic lessons all year!

At what moment in your life have you been most proud?

I would like to say that it was for someone else, that I have been most proud of Ron when he got made a prefect or of Fred and George when they flew out of school on their brooms shouting “Give her hell for us Peeves!” , or of Harry for still being in tact after all he has been through, for still being able to smile.
But most proud…it is selfish, but I was most proud the first time I put on Gryffindor Quidditch robes and played on that pitch.
I have been hearing about it my whole life, from Bill and Charlie, then Fred and George then saw Ron! I’ve grown up seeing them in their robes and watching them play.…so I would sneak out and practice on their brooms when they weren’t about.
I love to fly, it’s the best feeling in the world….you can do anything.
And knowing that everyone in the family has always been in Gryffindor the pressure to get put in that house was so high, then I was there and all I ever wanted was to get to Hogwarts , get into Gryffindor and be a chaser on the Quidditch team.
To be fair the first time I played I was at seeker …but still! I was there, in that uniform that was so scarey, the number was Harry’s too so I was terrified!
But I’d been waiting for it for 14 years.
I have never been more proud of myself.
