LENGTHENED APPLICATION

[_hollywood_girl]

I hope this is good~

• What sort of profession in the wizarding world would you choose and why? I would choose to be a professinal quidditch player. I love sports, I've also got a certain tom-boy quality, and I love the concept of flying and quidditch has always been a lot of fun for me to read in the HP books. However, since I wouldn't be able to be a quidditch player my whole life, afterwards I would choose to work as a coach for a quidditch team or as a flying teacher at Hogwarts (like Madame Hooch).
  
  
• If you could teach one class at Hogwarts, what would it be and why?
  I would teach Transfiguration because it's a very useful class for loads of professions and it takes hard work and I would enjoy helping students master it. I also like teaching in general, and transfiguration is a really intricate subject. It's a class where you can be serious in, and a lot of the time you have to be, but where there is the occasional room for a joke or two. I like things like that, and I feel that I could teach it well, especially since I love the subject.
  
  
• 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? I would put my name in the goblet because I like being challenged and figuring things out. I also love competing in tournaments, even if I don't win -- it's for the fun of doing it. Also, I wouldn't mind the prize money, honestly. My family's in some odd fininacial distress and a nice pile of galleons would be very useful. Additionaly I'd submit my name for the chance to become a better person. It seems like the competition makes people change and grow and recognize certain qualities inside them selves that they didn't know were there before. Self discovery, yeah!
  
  
• If you could choose your animagus form, what would it be and why?
  It would probably be a cheetah because they are sleek, fast, and deadly; they are also beautiful at the same time and majestic. Cheetah's are also my favourite animal and they have this deadly aura underneath they're beauty. Cheetah's aren't necesarily loud but underneath their calm persona they can tear your throat out. I guess I chose cheetah because I see myself as kind of like that. I wouldn't rip out anyone's throat though!
  
  
• What HP character do you identify with most and why?
  Hermione, because she is a girl and her two best friends are guys. I was always closer to the boys growning up, and therefore regarded not as a girl but as one of the guys.
  
  
• What would you see if you looked into the Mirror of Erised?
  I would see myself with a soul-mate, whether in form of a best friend or a lover or what not. This is because I believe that everyone needs someone else to be close to, a best friend or something, and I haven't had a best friend since I was very young, and miss that companionship.
  
  
• If you won a million dollars, how would you spend it?
  I would pay off my families debt and with whatever I had left help pay for my brother and cousin's college education, because none of us are well off and my family could use the extra help.
  
  
• What was your ideal job as a kid? Has that changed? What is your ideal job now? My ideal job as a kid was to be a marine biologist because I love water and love sea-creatures. Now (that I'm just barely passing bio) my ideal job has changed. I'm not sure what I want to do anymore, at all ... what-so-ever. I was thinking about something in the record business, like PR.. I also wanted to be an ESL teacher in Japan. Sometimes, though, I would really like to just up and move to italy and work as a waitress (Which, in Italy is an actual profession). Or open a bed and breakfast in Hawaii.
  
  
• 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? I would invent a potion that allows one the ability to understand any language at any given time. I would use it for when I'm meeting people from other countries and I would call it Evidentia Conlusio. Evidentia meaning distinctness of language, and Conlusio meaning secret understanding.
  
  
• 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 turn into my entire family dead. This is because my family is very close and I don't know what I would do without them. Then, it would turn into them all in clown suits or something absolutely ridiculous that I know they would never do.
  
  
• What do you look for in a friend?
  Fun loving spirit and caringness. Anyone that I can connect with and doesn't try to shut me up or mold me into someone else. Someone that I can just talk to, because a lot of the time what I'm trying to say doesn't really make sense, but they'll listen. Also, someone that challenges me and will make me into a better person. Someone who can keep me within my limits, and not doing crazy impulsive things that I tend to do when I'm on my own.
  
  
• What trait most annoys you about other people?
  self-absorption. I don't mind when people know that they have certain qualities, good or bad, but self-absorption in the sense that they think everything has to do with them, whether it be negative or positive. Another part of self-absorption where they need to take credit for everything, even if it involves lying about something. Even though this can sometimes be born out of insecurity, it still drives me insane.
  
  
• What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?
  Empathy [I'm really in tune with other people's emotions and I get really affected by them. I think it makes me a better listener], athleticism [I think this is a top trait because it means I won't be held back from doing things that involve sports-like-action], loving-ness [just genuinely caring for someone is always a good trait to have], determination [when there's something I want I really try and go for it, but at the same time I don't want to ruffle any feathers in doing it] and listening skills [my mom's a therapist so I kind of inherrited it from her. I really listen, and hear people, not just let words float past me].
  
  
• What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?
  Self consiousness [I'm always thinking, in the back of my mind, 'what do these people think of me'], loud [I really can't help it, I've got swimmer's lungs.. and I end up being louder than I intend to be!], easily hurt [I take things too seriously sometimes, it's almost like being gullible but I get hurt], influenced easily by situations [what I mean by this is that I let the emotions, and the people around me influence my decisions and how I feel in a certain situation instead of being independant minded], can by shy [really shy. really really really shy].
  
  
• Define in your own words the following key traits:
  
  • Courage: Being able to stand strong in a situation that would other wise make you very uncomfortable.
    
  • Loyalty: Staying true to a person, doing what is best for them even if, at the time, it doesn't seem like it's right.
    
  • Intelligence: A combination of book smart and street smart. Being able to be logical and emotional at the same time.
    
  • Ambition: Pure determination to reach a certain goal and not letting anything stand in the way.
