PERSONAL QUESTIONS
Which character from Harry Potter, DISCLUDING the obvious answer of Harry, would you say you most admire and why?:
Dumbledore. He stood his ground when he knew he was right and wouldn't budge. He tried his hardest helping Harry and the gang out and wouldn't listen to the ministry.
Which Hogwarts subjects would you be best and worst at - or otherwise like and dislike most?:
I would probably be the best at potions and arithmancy because I always excelled in math and science in school. I would probably be good at astronomy because ever since I was little I was interested in it (like, I'm talking about since I was 6) and for awhile last year I thought about being an astronomy major. I would probably be really bad/dislike history of magic because I HATE history and would probably be really bored. I would probably be bad at herbology since I really wouldn't care.
Which house would you WANT to be in, or which do you have most respect for and why?:
I have respect for all the houses, they all have traits that are honorable and I can't say that I have one house where I feel the most respect for. I really don't care what house I'm in, I was sorted when I was 14 in Hufflepuff at hogwarts_elite and wanted to see if people still felt that.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?:
I would change how I'm not a morning person. I'm horrible. Like one of my really really good friends thought I hated him because we would always eat breakfast together and we didn't really interact during the day. You don't know how surprised I was when he was all, "do you hate me?"
If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?:
For people to respect one another for their differences. Really, I hate the hate that goes around, so what if they're different? They're still a person and should be respected.
How much use would magic have in your current everyday life?:
If I had just found out I had magical powers I would probably use it a lot. Just the awe of it all, but eventually all of that would eventually become less spectacle. Then I would use it when it's needed, but occasionally use it more often. Basically, it would have an impact but not a major one. I've lived 18 years without it, I can live the rest of my life without it.
If you had one day left to live, what would you do?: I would make my best friend hang out with me, eat all the delicious food out there, try everything I wanted to try, tell my family that I love them, party it up, and die having the best time of my life.
Tell us three random things about yourself:
1. When people first meet me, they usually think I'm going to be snob but they also say that they think I'm going to be ambitious, intelligent, and sophisticated. But still a snob.
2. I really do love to travel. I've been to 13 countries and 28 US states. I hope that I'm going to go Spain next year.
3. I wake up to Run to Paradise by The Choirboys every day.

SITUATIONAL / IN-STORY QUESTIONS
Would you hex someone who was bothering you there and then?:
Absolutely not! I am not a violent person, no matter how much someone is bothering me I would never ever do that.
What do you see in the Mirror of Erised?:
I've thought about this one since I was 14 and in all honesty, I don't know. I don't know my deepest desire. I know what I want right now but not my deepest one. I can't answer this question because I know anything I put down would be a lie. To be successful? Sure. To be happy? Of course. I don't know what my deepest want is and I hope someday I can answer this question.
What special wizarding power - i.e. Animagi, Metamorphagi, being a Seer - would you want to have?:
Seer. I've always want to see the future! Plus, then I wouldn't have to worry about being stuck as an animal or face form if they suddenly disappeared.
In what situation would you use an Unforgivable curse?:
I would never use an unforgivable curse. I really don't think anyone deserves to have those spells cast on them, no matter what they did to me or my family. There's a reason why they're unforgivable.
(you spelled unforgivable wrong, fyi)
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 wouldn't care. Sorry for the short answer, but I'm open to all different people!
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?
Why would I be the head of an average wizarding family? Alright, well I would obviously say no that I am not joining the death eaters no matter what they say and tell them that they can take me after I say good bye to my family so they could spring into action into rescuing me. Yep, that would totally happen. Well, I would plan my escape too just in case something happens.
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?:
If I was busy I would tell him that I would teach it to him some other day. If I wasn't I would try to teach him but let him know that I'm absolutely a horrible teacher and I wouldn't expect him to understand it in the way I describe. If I really didn't want to tell him I would just keep on telling him that I'm busy until he forgets.
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?:
Not on the battle field at all. Once again, I'm not a violent person and I don't think I would ever be able to kill another person. It doesn't matter what the cause, I wouldn't be able to go out to the battle field even if it was far away and try to kill people.
FINAL QUESTIONS
If you could become any character from the series for one day - 24 hours - who would it be?:
Voldemort. Just so I can see how he's thinking. Plus it's for 24 hours so it's not like I'm in there forever.
If you were given the chance to permanently become part of the HP-verse (as "yourself"), would you take it?:
Sure. Why not. I like change and it would be an adventure.
