Thanks for replying so quickly. As one of you noted, I am quite impatient!!! ;)

Could you please elaborate more on why you feel misplaced in Gryffindor?
I would do something brave if it was for somebody who I adored. But only then. If the “greater good” were in danger, I’d probably cry or something. When I said I was happy to be in Gryffindor, I kind of said it 1. In the moment, and 2. To keep spirits light. Why would I want to say “No. Gryffindor sucks and I don’t want to be here, blahblahblah.” (Not that I actually think that) I just think that that kind of response might have hurt people’s feelings.
In the movies, Gryffindors are portrayed as being very chivalrous, and very unafraid to stick up for others. I completely believe in treating all people nicely, but I think I’d be too afraid to confront anyone who was bullying someone else. I’d just feel really sad about it, and wish I had said something.
In the books, Gryffs are explained more in-depth-ly than in the movies. Duh. In the books, they seem very righteous and goodhearted; sometimes they even seem more so than the Hufflepuffs. I’m goodhearted, inside, but I don’t always show it. I just don’t know how I can better say that I don’t feel happy in Gryffindor.

Please try to convince me to the best of your abilities, why you would belong in each house, and why. (So try to convince me you belong in Slytherin, in Gryffindor, in Ravenclaw, in Hufflepuff...)
Gryffindor: Well. I have a certain strength inside of me that sometimes just astounds me. It’s definitely not bravery - it’s more of a willpower kind of thing. If I want something, I will stick to it, and work as hard as I can to achieve it. I’m not sure if this is sounding more like the Hufflepuff section than the Gryff one, though. :-D
Hufflepuff: As I said directly above, I have a great amount of will, and am hardworking (but only when I want to be). I try to ALWAYS be fair - that’s one of my better qualities, and I love making people happy, or cheering people up, or making them laugh. I’m also reallllllly sensitive. It takes me a long time to fall in love, but once I do, it’s hard for me to get over it. I also tend to feel other people’s pain as my own. I think I’m really emotionally savvy.
Ravenclaw: I am honestly one of the smartest people I know. I am pretty much a straight-A student, who is motivated, and intellectual, and loves to read and observe and learn. Also, I’m in a real fight with someone, I tend to cry a lot. I am SOOOO sensitive. Lol, I’m a sap, but I try not to show it.
Slytherin: I am really cunning and sneaky. If I want information about someone, I can, and will, find it with relative ease. I also have a lot of ambition, and can (I admit) take pleasure in arguing with others but only if it’s petty. And feeling elite. Also, I'm really jealous and competative.

Then

Please try to convince me to the best of your abilities why you would NOT belong in a certain house, again doing all four.
All righty then…
Gryffindor: See above? I don’t want to sound too malcontent because that would be annoying. So, just, look above.
Hufflepuff: I’m not a very loyal person. A lot of people don’t realize this, but even if I seem attached to a person, I’m really very fickle, and I can suddenly dislike them. I’m not proud of that, but it’s true.
Ravenclaw: I’m really not that “bookish.” I’m only motivated in subjects that I’m interested in, but not all the others.
Slytherin: I wouldn’t really hurt someone to get what I wanted. I don’t think I have it in me.

I’ll elaborate as much as you want, though. I just don’t know how much y’all want.

Thanks for replying so quickly.

Did I? I thought I was late. Does the date it says you posted this the date you submitted your app, but it only just got posted? Alright then, that makes sense why no one else has asked you any questions. Also, for some reason this post never showed up on my friends update page, so I went to the judges community to let the head honchos know that, since it probably wasn't only me. Odd.

Anyway, I think I have a pretty good idea of where to place you, and thank you for answering my questions. I'm still seeing a lot of Gryffindor though, so I want to ask you more because I don't want to put you where you would be unhappy.

Would being in any of the other houses make you unhappy, or just Gryffindor? If so, what houses would make you unhappy?

What two houses do you think you belong in the most?

Tell me your thoughts on these characters in as much detail as you can. Peter Pettigrew, Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort, Marietta Edgecomb, Ernie MacMillan, and Professor Dumbledore.

You did! I know that everyone is sooooo busy, but you guys do this anyways... I really did post a couple of days ago, I think two days ago actually. Here are the answers:
1. Well, Ravenclaws kind of p!$$ me off a little. Because you need a lot more than book smarts in this world. Actually, you hardly need any. It's good to have them, but I think that you shouldn't be overambitious in that field. There are so many other ambitions that are so much more... worth it. But I'd be fine in any house. I mean, I'd be fine in Gryffindor! I'll respect any descision you guys make.

2. I see myself as a true blue SlytherPuff. But that's just me.

3. Peter Pettigrew - He is a freak. A real freak! He's definitely my least favorite character in the series. I think that there was no excuse to betray the Potters, but he is a coward. I cannot stand him. He's weak, pathetic, and cannot help himself.
Harry Potter - I wouldn't be his friend, but I admire him. He has a really bad temper, and of all the things in the world, I cannot stomach a bad temper. Ugh. But he does take a lot of crud in stride, and so I think that he is amazing. He takes terrible situations but never gives up, and it really makes me smile and feel empowered!
Lord Voldemort - I feel reallllly bad for him. He had no love, and that's what happens when you have no love...
Marietta E. - DIRTY BROWNNOSER! I cannot stand her. She betrayed the best group of people hogwarts ad ever seen!

To be continued!

[birds_songs28]

Ernie MacMillan - I don't think that they spend enough time focusing on him, I for one would love to know more about him, but as is, he's a little annoying. I think I could be his friend, though. He has good morals, he's just a little pompous. But aren't we all??
Dumbledore - I think that he is obviously the best character in the book. It just rips me apart that his trusting manner came back to haunt him in the end. People shouldn't ahve to be cynics to survive. But it's kind of true. We do... and that's just really, really, really sad. He didn't fight his death. He just selflessly let it happen. I don't know why he was in Gryffindor though. He has traits from all of the houses. Except maybe Slytherin. :D

****I'm going to elaborate on some of the other ones, because I was in a rush before. K?****

Marietta - she disgusts me for a lot of reasons. she promised that she wouldn't tell anyone about the group, and she betrayed them. why did she do it? there was no real reason to, except maybe for "street cred" or something from the Slytherins... They were just doing good! They weren't hurting anyone at all! So she enfuriates me, and so does Cho because she's just stupid, and also, she stuck up for Marietta. Cho was really awful. And so was Marietta.
Voldemort - the sixth book gave me very mixed feelings about him. I know how mean he is... but it seems like he was so earnest in the beginning, and I just feel sad that he went the wrong way. At least Dumbledore didn't trust him. But then... seeing what he did in the fourth book to Cedric, and to Harry... and how his followers behave... it's just... well, unforgivable. But, somehow, it isn't. I don't know how I feel about him! Probably MUCH MUCH MUCH more bad than good.
There. Phew. Anything else? (feel free to "bother" me as much as you want!! lol)
