- What sort of profession in the wizarding world would you choose and why?
I think I would like to work in a wand shop. A nice, small wand shop. I'd love to help all the young ones that come in looking for their very first wand. I'm intrigued by people and the differences between them so I would love to watch and see which wand chooses them. If the shop also sold some books that I could read during a slow business dy, all the better!
- If you could teach one class at Hogwarts, what would it be and why?
I would love to teach potions. I like to create, and I like to take time over it. I like the preciseness of potions, how one little thing can make it go terribly wrong. I suppose I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
- 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?
Yes I would, I believe that you've got to try everyhting at least once. This applies especially to things that can only be tried once anyway. I think I would have missed out on a amazing experience if I did not put my name down.
- If you could choose your animagus form, what would it be and why?
Mine would be a lion. I could just imagine the look on my enemy's face to see a huge lion pouncing towards them, the jaws open wide, the sharp teeth shining brightly, and a huge roar loud enough to make the ground quake.
- What HP character do you identify with most and why?
I suppose I identify most with Sirius. He was outcast from society for something that was not his fault. Someone he thought that he could trust betrayed him. His other friends abandoned him quickly, they judged him unfairly and betrayed him cruely. They left him to rot in a faraway place and forgot about him. And although he tried hard to prove himself innocent, by a cruel twist of fate he failed and is now even more of an outcast.
- What would you see if you looked into the Mirror of Erised?
I would see a reccuring dream come to life. I would see myself at the age I am now, but everything around me would be different. It would be a 'what if?' scenario, a different path that my life could have led. A happier life. One that I do not care to share with anyone, not even my friends. It's a nice little life that I like to keep all to myself, to dream about whenever I wish. A life-line that I can cling onto when things take a turn for the worse.
- If you won a million dollars, how would you spend it?
First scenario: I'd save it. But it into a savings account so that I can gain interest. If I did that I'd very probably retire early and have a nice amount of money that I could fall back onto.
Second Scenario: 1/3 of the money would be donated to many different causes that I deem to be suitable. Another 1/3 of the money would go towards my friends and family. The last third I would either save or I would use it, somehow, to help the LGBT community. I would very much become a full fledge activist in the matter. Possibly I would help set up a youth hostel where the kids who need support and friendship could come to.
- What was your ideal job as a kid? Has that changed? What is your ideal job now?
My Ideal job as a kid varied greatly. One day I'd be flexing my biceps all day and wrestling my cousin, pretending to be a professional wrestler. Another day I might be pretending to be a mad scientist of some sort. The next day I might have borrowed by dad's tie and briefcase and be pretending to be a business man of some sorts. Or maybe I was just zooming about on my trike and pretending to be a famous race car driver.
- 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?
A spell. One that would be of advantage to both myself and everyone, everywhere. You say the word and the next thing people know, they're happy, healthy, satiated, and did I mention happy? I'm sick and tired of waiting for governments to do something about poverty in the world, and waiting to see if cures for all of the worlds deadly diseases are invented, for social services to erradicate all sorts of violence whether they be domestic or not. I'm pretty sure that these things would not happen in mine, nor anyone else's, lifetime without that spell.
- 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?
It would turn into a hammer-head shark. No other shark, they dont bother me quite as much. A hammer-head shark, swimming around me in circles, would be enough to turn me into a gibbering buffoon. If I somehow managed to get the ridikulus charm to work a builder would appear, grab the hammerhead shark and proceed to use him to nail something, thereby knocking the shark unconscious in a very cartoon-like manner.
- What do you look for in a friend?
Honesty, loyalty, acceptance. I suppose those are the three main ones, I can't imagine that anyone would not like those in a friend. The way I see it, if I can be honest, loyal, and accept people for who they are, then why can't other people. The mind boggles.
- What trait most annoys you about other people?
When they say that they are open-minded but they most clearly are not. That just irks me beyond any other annoying trait that people may have, it's one of the only things that would make me lose all respect for that person and I would tell them, quite loudly.
- What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?
1. Generous - I give without hesitation.
2. Languages - I seem to have quite a talent for languages.
3.Open-minded - I don't judge people, occasionally I ask questions and that sometimes makes people think that I am judging them somehow but I'm not, I'm just a curious little boy who likes to learn everything about his friends and who they are.
4. Articulate - I seem to be quite good at expressing myself, although, quite oddly, this only seems to be the case online. (The internet is the only place where I feel safe to be myself)
5. Violin - I play the violin? I'm not sure if that fits in here but I ran out of things to say.
- What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?
1. Generous - I give without hesitation.
2. Depression - I'm quite prone to depression.
3. Odd - Apparently (according to a wide number of people) I am quite odd. They say it makes people scared to talk to me. :(
4. Obsessive - Ah yes, I think that needs to explanation.
5. Messy - And neither does this one.
- Define in your own words the following key traits:
- Courage: T obe yourself regardless of what society thinks, to stand up for what you believe in.
- Loyalty: To be faithful and true to your friends, to stand by them through the thick and thin.
- Intelligence: There are many different types of intelligence. You cannot base intelligence solely on grades, everyone is intelligent in their own way.
- Ambition: To strive to achieve your dreams.
