Application: Willow Rosenberg, from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'
((Note: I'll be taking Willow from the end of season six, but I think I managed to keep spoilers pretty vague. With permission from Tara-mun.))
"Okay, well this is weird. One minute you're making huge amounts of headway in the whole 'don't-cry-every-day' category -not to mention the tea- and then pow! You're in the middle of a very castle-y room. Good job, Willow."
Really, what was this all about? And where had the tea gone? Willow took a moment to lament the loss of her tea -it would have been very good, considering it was half honey. She sighed and took a look around. There were tapestries on the wall, and that in itself was endlessly amusing to Willow. In the middle of the room was a desk and a chair, and as she made her way closer, she saw a sheet of- "Parchment? And quills?" She couldn't help but grin, and when one of the quills lifted into the air and scrawled her words of surprise, her smile widened.
"Neat."
Curling up in the chair and watching the quill write as she spoke, Willow began the application process. Really, it wasn't her doing the magic, so this was okay. Right?
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
"Ooh, string cheese, definitely." Willow said, and smiled when the quill began to write out her sentence. Sure, she could do that too, but it was still really cool.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
"Barney." She said immediately. "I didn't have much contact with Carrottop, but oh my god, Barney. I'm scarred for life, I swear."
3. What time is it where you are?
Willow looked down at her watch, then outside. "Nearly two in the afternoon, since it's still bright outside."
4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.
Willow laughed. "Are you kidding? Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead wouldn't sexually harass people. Would he? I mean, you'd think his first priority would be dealing with the whole 'zombie' issue."
5. If you are pushing to be in:
A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.
"I sort of have bad memories of bars. They had a general tendency to result in caveman-like behavior and grunting. Not so much fun, really." She made a face as the quill wrote down her answer, and had the nerd in her wouldn't let her leave the question without a real answer.
"How about 'Technopagan's Delight?' That sounds more like my specialty drink, doesn't it?" She frowned, but decided to move on anyway.
B. Gryffindor - Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument.
Willow took a moment to try and think of myths with twins, and the sudden idea of Harry Potter visiting people in the form of golden sunlight like Zeus made her laugh. "Okay, so what if Harry was like Zeus and he did the whole sprinkly dust thing? Streamed through a window and got Fred and George pregnant?" She grinned. "At least they'd have a good story for their grandkids. So yeah, Harry dust-impregnates them both."
C. Ravenclaw - You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it.
"Oooh, I learned this nifty spell where all you have to do is-" She stopped and laughed nervously. "No, trashcan. Or a paper shredding device. Those are handy."
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
"I guess I'm pretty smart, so there's that. And oooh, I'm good with computers. Plus I've helped save the world like a couple times, but you know." She grinned. "I was watching from the sidelines, most of the time."
6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe. Do not threaten us rather than offering a bribe. A threat indicates you either don't really want to be here, or don't have enough sense to answer the question properly. The hat will automatically squib you, regardless of other votes, if you do.
"I can tutor people!" Willow said excitedly. "Or, you know, make with the witchy stuff." She stuck her hands in her pockets and frowned. "I don't have much in the way of material stuff, though." She dropped two fistfuls of junk- a key she didn't recognize, some change, and a few pieces of candy onto the table and frowned, then reached into her back pocket. She pulled a wad of money out, and sighed. "Five bucks. That probably isn't even useful in Scotland, either. Well, I guess they're all up for grabs."
