• What sort of profession in the wizarding world would you choose and why?
  
  I’d probably choose to work as a historical researcher through the ministry of magic. I’m really interested in the past and I like to learn all I can. It’d be a waste not to reach my full potential, and my job could benefit the Wizarding World tremendously. Where spells originated? What happened when? I think I’d find all of that stuff rather fascinating.
  
  
• If you could teach one class at Hogwarts, what would it be and why?
  
  I’d teach History of Magic. Obviously the students aren’t learning very much with Prof. Binns teaching it, so I’d want to take over the class and try to make it more interesting. History doesn’t have to be boring, and I’d enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. It's important to me to let others know how hard I work. I'd enjoy teaching students to study and work on something they're ambitious about, they would learn through example. I'd like to be a mentor to the students of Hogwarts. History is a subject all would have to take, and I'd get a chance to help every student to find their place in the world and reach their full potential, education wise and life wise.
  
  
• This year, The TriWizard Tournament is being held once again and you're of age. Do you put your name in the Goblet? Why or why not?
  
  No, even though I’m sure if I was chosen It’d be really exciting, I’m not much for physical endurance. I’m not athletic, and I don’t think I’d due well with a permanent injury that would hinder me from going on with my everyday life. I don't see the need to set my self up for a failure so huge as to shame my entire school. I care too much about what others think.
  
  
• If you could choose your animagus form, what would it be and why?
  
  I’d choose to be a dog. A small dog. I could do anything as a dog. Where do you find dogs suspicious? Not only could I go anywhere (almost), but I’d be cute and cuddly, and I could get my way... ha. Not to mention, I'm a traditional type, I think being a dog is as mundane and classic as you can get. I like things to be as they've always been. I don't appreciate change unless I'm in control of it.
  
  
• What HP character do you identify with most and why?
  
  I think I identify most with Hermione Granger. I have two best friends... although one’s a girl and one’s a boy. I’m the sensible one in the group, and they’re the trouble makers. I’m the one who says, “We shouldn’t,” and then does whatever it is anyway. I take advanced classes, and I always want as many challenging ones as I can get. My family thinks I’m a dork, but I like the fact that I'm the different one in the family. I want to be an individual so much that I avoid what others are doing and try to come up with my own thing. I'm that way with everything... music, movies, and fashion sense.
  
  
• What would you see if you looked into the Mirror of Erised?
  
  Hmm... What do I most desire?... I think that I would see myself with my grandfather walking down the aisle together at my wedding. He died last year, and he WAS the only father I wanted to give me away... My father can go to hell. Not to say that I don't love him, but living five minutes away from your daughter and not calling her in three years doesn't exactly give him any place in my daily thought that don't involve hurt ot shame.
  
  
• If you won a million dollars, how would you spend it?
  
  If I won a million dollars, I would pay for my college, buy my mom a house in Napa, Move my grandma to florida with her family, and donate A LOT. I think I’m too compassionate for my own good sometimes. I just want everyone to have what I have... even if I don’t have everything, I have a hell of a lot more than some people. For service hours in Honor Society, I went to the salvation army (it was during Christmas time) and we sorted out packages for kids christmas presents. I wanted to cry. I know, "at least they're getting something," but it was all really crappy and not even appropriate for their ages. They get others left overs, and I got an iPod for Christmas, Does that seem fair?
  
  
• What was your ideal job as a kid? Has that changed? What is your ideal job now?
  
  My Ideal job used to be either an actress (I wanted to be famous), an astronomer (I wanted to make a BIG discovery, then I took physics! Ha), or an Archaeologist. I think what I want to do now is get my degree in archaeology, work on excavations awhile, then do research for a museum or teach college. I want to know what others don't. Come up with something amazing, and make myself a part of history too.
  
  
• If you were able to invent one spell, potion, or charm, what would it do, what would you use it for or how would you use it, and what would you call it?
  
  My charm would be a communication charm so that I could talk to the dead. Not only would I be able to talk to me dead family members, but I could Learn so much from people who have passed away. What was it like in Roman times? What was it like to live during the holocaust? What happened ....? It's would be important for me to make these discoveries. I REALLY want people to understand the past and realize that everything we have now comes from something someone else did before. Movies all come from central themes that the greeks used in their plays. All books have some form of plagerism in them, no ones ideas are competly original, and I want to know who started it all.
  
  
• If you were to face a boggart, what would it turn into? And what does it turn into when you throw the counter-spell, Riddikulus?
  
  The boggart would somehow embody failure. It's the inevitable concept that I am completely and utterly afraid of. I hate the feeling that I could have done better. Things would be different if I had just done this. I can't stand it. When I say the countercurse, the boggart would turn into my best selling book on the discover of a new ancient city. My success as a scientist and as a person. I just want everyone to be proud of me.
  
  
• What do you look for in a friend?
  
  I need a team player. Someone who will tell me what’s what, but needs a good listener. I need a friend that needs me. They must be a good secret keeper but understand I’m one too. Someone who can break me out of my uptight prude ways, and help me enjoy life. They have to understand that sometimes I'm a little bit of a hypocrite, and call me on it so I can better myself as a person. I look for someone who will help me become a better individual, and needs me in order to become one too.
  
  
• What trait most annoys you about other people?
  
  Stupidity. Ignorance. When someone acts with complete stupidity, has no common sense, and is ignorant beyond belief, I CAN”T STAND IT! I had testing at the beginning of the week with a lot of the students I don't usually come into contact with. I don't dislike them because they're stupid, I dislike them because they have no respect for anything. They're rude to teachers, they don't do what's asked of them, and the don't listen to anyone. I think that if you can't show respect for yourself and others that you're completely lost to the world. What can you do for anyone if you can't listen to them? Understand them? Care about something, anything except yourself?
  
  
• What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?
  
  (1) Understanding- I look at everything from both sides. I hate having to choose between two things, because I don’t like to be wrong, and I don’t like to make up my mind and engrave things in stone. I like to listen to others problems, and help them through anything I can. (2) Intelligence- I work hard for the honor of calling myself smart. I don't like when others want to copy my work (or anything about me) without asking for help and trying to learn themselves. I'll help anyone that's willing to listen. I like others knowing that I'm a good person, but most of all I like knowing inside that I've done something right. (3) Friendly- even if I don’t like you, you probably won’t know. I try to be friendly to everyone. Sometimes I’m pitying people, but I think that I’m an all around friendly girl. My first opinion of someone means nothing. It can change in an instant. Whether bad or good, I'll always allow somone to redeem themselves in my eyes. I try to look for the best in people. (4) Classic- I'm the girl who believes in traditions. If my school, which my mom attended also, decided to change it's Alma Mater, I'd be disappointed at the lack of stability. I like things how they are unless I decide to change them. I appreciate tradition in class rings, banquets, awards, and such. I like knowing what's going to happen, surprises aren't a good thing with me. (5) Team Player- I like to be praised, but I'd rather have someone there with me if I am. I don't like the feeling of all eyes on me. I enjoy helping others enter the spotlight, do better at things. I'll be behind my friends 100% with a decision even if I don't agree with them, and I'll let them know my opinion too. I'm not afraid to tell others how I feel, my decisions just change a lot because I can never make up my mind completely.
  
  
• What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?
  
  (1) Vanity- I can’t go without doing my hair and makeup everyday. Not only do I do that, but I KNOW I’m pretty a lot of the time and act as though I don’t agree when people say I am. I guess it's one of my quirks. I like to be told I look nice, I just don't want to seem too pig headed by saying something like "I know." I just disagree with them and forget about it. (2) Prude- I’m so irky about sex talk that it freaks me out when people talk about it in public... I think that sex is a private think that should be kept between two people... I mean, I know I'm not going to be like this forever, and I'm getting better about it, but it's weird to have a boyfriend when you don't want anyone to know you've given into the thought of relationships. I contradict myself a lot. I say that I don't like to talk about sex and stuff, but my friends and I talk about it everyday. I guess I just can't see myself doing anything.(3) Indecisive- you can probably tell how indecisive I am if you've been reading. I think so many different things, and I agree with most of them partially. I just want everything to be by my standards. For example, I believe in Gay marriage, kinda. I think they should have benefits that other heterosexual couples get, but I don't think they should be recognized under God, like in a church with a bible and everything. I think they should have their own life bonding ceremony. (4) Snob- sometimes I can be a complete snob without even realizing it. I don’t think I’m better than people, they just treak me like I am and it goes to my head. I like getting special treatment when I'm walking down the hall at school and they see that I'm an AP student and don't stop me. What am I going to do that's so wrong? Teachers think that I abide by the rules, always, and would rather avoid speaking to me (and the rest uf us "smart kids") because they know I'm smarter than them, and I'm the future, my AP Calculus teacher says so.(5) People Pleaser- a lot of the time the stuff I'm saying isn't really how I feel. Then my AP English teacher asks me to write a paper (which I should be doing right now), I write what I think she wants to here rather than what's really going on in my head. I have to know my work is subjective to her criticism, and I have to know what she likes. I take the classes my mom wants me to take, I join the clubs that'll look good for college, I'm an all around puppet, and I'm good that way. ...
