PERSONAL QUESTIONS
Which character from Harry Potter, DISCLUDING the obvious answer of Harry, would you say you most admire and why?: Probably Remus Lupin, because he put up with being around James and Sirius and never being quite as cool as them, but at the same time he didn't go all stupid and evil.
Which Hogwarts subjects would you be best and worst at - or otherwise like and dislike most?: I think I'd like potions, history of magic, herbology and muggle studies because they are mostly theory and following instructions. Charms and transfigurations would be difficult for me because I would get frustrated if I tried something and nothing happened.
Which house would you WANT to be in, or which do you have most respect for and why?: I think I'd want to be in Gryffindor just because I think Gryffindors are interesting in a silly way and I think they'd make me feel welcome.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?: My weight.
If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?: Level of intelligence per person
How much use would magic have in your current everyday life?: Probably a lot, I'm not a horribly lazy person but if there's an easier way to do something, I'm going to take it.
If you had one day left to live, what would you do?: Probably eat a lot, surprise-snog a lot of people and shoplift like it's going out of style.
Tell us three random things about yourself:
- I really like my meals to be everything I need all in one. Casseroles, pizza, salad, stew, lasagna, omelets, when all of the things you're eating are just mixed together.
- I'm very impatient when it comes to ambiguous gratification time. If I have to do something, but have no idea how long it's going to take, I'll probably just give up.
- I love hearing people say my name out loud, or refer to me as a girl, or as having red hair. It makes me feel nice because I know it isn't meant to make me feel nice, it's just like "oh, you noticed that about me." I like it.

What special wizarding power - i.e. Animagi, Metamorphagi, being a Seer - would you want to have?: Metamorphmagi, totally
In what situation would you use an Unforgiveable curse?: I would imperio someone if it meant them not hurting me/themselves
Be honest - if you were in the wizarding community, what view would you take on blood heritage? (If you don't know, perhaps put your current views of class and the like into context): I'm not going to judge people's personalities based on their blood heritage but I'm also not going to be ignorant and pretend everyone was raised the same way. Muggle-borns have different customs, rituals, knowledge of the world from pure-bloods, obviously. There are going to be people who have prejudices and I'm not going to tell them their opinions are wrong or the way they were brought up is wrong, I'll just respectfully tell them I disagree and change the subject.
Imagine the Death Eaters come to your house, you being the head of an average wizarding family. They say join them, or otherwise give them ONE member of the family. What do you choose to do? What action perhaps would you take after making this decision? I would join them, get my family the hell into hiding and then probably kill myself...
Colin Creevey has been following you around all day, trying to get you to teach him a new secret spell he saw you do that he thought was cool. What do you do?: Tell him it is a family heirloom-spell and if I told him I would be hexed by the magic protecting it and besides, he isn't part of my family so he couldn't perform it anyway, sorry.
Would you rather be attacking up close and personal, hiding far off using a type of long range attacks, or not on the battle field at all?: Hiding far off, I hate feeling useless but I hesitate too much to be on the front lines.
