1. Which house would you most WANT to be in? This is not necessarily the same as the house you think you might be put in by the hat. Don't worry about pushing, I asked you straight up. Which house is your favourite?
2. When you are wrong, do you admit it easily? When you've hurt or upset someone, do you apologise readily? What if you are totally sure you did nothing wrong?
3. Which is more important: actions or words? Intentions or outcomes?
4. If you could rewrite the end of the series, starting at the final Battle of Hogwarts in DH (so everything before then is set in stone), what would you change?
1. Gryffindor. It values all the things I value, and I feel I'd get along with a lot of the Gryff characters. From the P.O.V. of the books I guess it's pretty biased, but I feel like I'd be very comfortable there.
2. Wow, no. Unless it's something minor like I thought something was orange but it's really yellow. Actually scratch that because thinking back I just recently got into a (non-serious) argument about whether my friend's mardi gras beads were pink or light purple. Btw they were PINK. But anyway I have a very hard time backing down and admitting when I'm wrong. If I've hurt someone I am quick as hell to feel guilty. If they're pissed I'm fine with it but sad? I just can't stand to see someone sad. It's a big weak spot of mine. If I am totally sure I did nothing wrong I will fight fight fight it til the cows come home, and even after they've gotten settled for the night. And for a bit more after that. I hate knowing I'm in the right and someone doesn't believe me

1a. I value courage, and not backing down from a challenge or your own convictions. I value being bold even in the face of insurmountable odds, even if the bold behavior is considered stupid by others. Honor in an abstract way is very admirable, like... not in the traditional sense, but your own personal definition of honor. It's different for everyone. For me it is standing by your convictions and fighting for them, and never apologizing for it

1b. Could you explain what you think the main differences are, in values or personality traits, between Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs?
2a. Do you think this sort of stubbornness is a house trait? What do you think is the difference between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff stubbornness?
