Remember to explain why/elaborate on the following questions.

3. Have you read all 6 Harry Potter Books? Which book was your favorite? Yes, I’ve read all of the books, and I can’t really say what my favourite is… But I’ll try.

First is Goblet of Fire, I really loved that book since the second I read the first page, I loved the fact that they introduced relationships and some different characters, and made everyone a little more on edge, believable considering what they’re up against.

Ron and Harry’s fight was just perfect, It gave them the real best friend type of relationship, and couldn’t have come at a better time. Cedric dying just gave Harry this huge shock, that people could actually die and there would be losses. It was an important scene and it made the book for me.

But, Order of the Phoenix, tops even that book, it was darker and more realistic, if that makes sense, the first chapter, was one of my favourites, and I’m not sure why, but the fact that Harry was out of the loop and left wondering and feeling forgotten was something that I can really relate too.

But what hit me most about that book was Sirius dying, and worse then that, dying with the laughter still in his face, in his eyes. Harry’s never going to be the same, and him yelling at Dumbeldore made him so much more human and really sealed the deal with my obsession.

4. Which house qualities do you value most?

I value the Cunning of the Slytherins, the fact that they will do anything and everything to achieve their goals is something I really admire.

I value their intelligence, not all of them are, but most of them and it’s really apparent, Draco proves his worth in book six and I have this feeling that Pansy isn’t as stupid as she appears. They’re smart in the sense that they aren’t going to run off and get themselves killed if they can help it, they keep a calm front and if they see dangerous situation they will find a way around it, and not barging straight through it.

But, I’m going to have to say, although I value those qualities, I really admire Gryffindor for tackling things head on, not wasting time to think about stupid things and just take life by the seat of their pants.

It’s contradicting but that’s what I value.

5. What are your pet peeves? People who say one thing and do another (I’m guilty of it too) I really hate hypocrites, and people who act so nice to a person yet hate them. I think if you hate someone, let them know, don’t walk around in circles pretending to like them when all you want to do is hit them over the head with an abnormally large book.

6. Based from your personality, what kind of Animagus would you be? (The animal chooses you, you don’t choose it.) If I could choose I would choose a wolf, because I really feel as if they are the spirit of life… Their eyes are so human, they protect with everything they have.. They don’t give in or give up. They understand most things better then humans and I really find that amazing. I’ve always felt a great love for wolves, their beauty in everything they do, in tenderness or when they’re ripping something to shreds they still manage to look like the most dangerous and beautiful creatures on earth.

7. What shape would your Boggart take? (Remember: Your Boggart takes the shape of the thing that you fear the most.) I really had to think about this, because while I fear quite a few things, I’m not sure how they would take shape.

One I fear being forgotten, being left with not a single person to care… So I might see a grave with my name on it, and that’s it, no Rest in Peace, no little words …no date… just a piece of wood with my name scrawled on the side.

But I think, if it wanted to terrify me and not just make me bawl my bloody eyes out it would have to turn into someone I loved…. Someone who I love very much, and they’d look at me with disgust and hatred.

8. What do you worry about the most and why? (Note: This is not the same thing that your Boggart becomes. Your biggest fear and your biggest worry are two different things.) I think I said this best before, I worry so much about being forgotten, no one caring who I am, or what I’ve done. No one ever hearing the things I’ve learned.

People forgetting me as if I never existed, I don’t thrive on attention so much, but if people were to forget me all together or never seeing me.. I’m constantly worrying that I’ll wake up one morning and everyone will walk away from me, not knowing who I am.

9. Would you put your name in the Goblet of Fire? Yes I would, without a second thought. I love being challenged, I love using the things I know and my experiences and doing something amazing. Something daring… I’d love the adrenaline rush if I was chosen and so I’d put my name in there in a minute.

10. What do you believe is the greatest weapon you possess? How, why, and when would you use it? The greatest weapon I posses? Man these are some good thought provoking questions. Well, I think, my imagination… It’s not always a happy bright imagination, I see the worst things, I have the most vivid nightmares, and I think that it would be a great weapon to have. It means I wouldn’t underestimate anyone because I’ve already imagined anything they could do, I’ve already weighed out the worst that could happen, or the best that could happen.

11. Would you ever want to be a prefect? Yes and No. I’d like to be in a position of power above others, being able to do and say things that the others would look up to, listen too. But I doubt I could handle the responsibility. I think I would be alright with the position, but… well, I also think that I’d make a fool of myself and I’m the best role model.

12. What quality do you admire above all others? Do you feel that it is a quality you or the people you surround yourself with possess? Honor. If people don’t have a sense of honor then trust and loyalty can be given away easily, but if you are an honorable person, then you’re going to think twice about deserting your friends, you’re going to think twice about spreading a rumor, or putting them in danger etc.. I’m not saying I’m particularly honorable. Because honestly, I’m not, but I really admire those who are and a lot of my friends, in fact most of them have that quality.

13. What are the worst qualities that you believe a person can possess? Why do you feel this way? I can’t really say, because I’m guilty of most of them and therefore don’t want to say them…

I suppose…Complete trusting? Sounds paranoid… and I’m not sure if this is the best answer, but I think if you are completely trusting then you’ll be really vulnerable, open to hurt and the like.. some people can deal with being completely trusting and they have great lives, but I guess, I don’t like that quality in people because.. I don’t know, I guess, it leaves them open to hurt and I don’t like seeing other people suffer.

14. If you were to look into the Mirror of Erised, what would you see?
Good lord this was the hardest question so far… I honestly had no idea at first but I’d be lying through my teeth if I said ‘I’d see myself as I am now’

I’d see… Myself, (obviously) but without all the imperfections, I’m very plain compared to my sister and while it’s not that huge of a deal, it still gets to me sometimes so I’d just have nice skin and nicer hair. I’d be standing with my head up high, instead of hunched over, and I’d be signing my first published book, and someone would be handing me a fan fiction they wrote about my work for me to read…

Truly though? I think I’d see myself standing on top of Mount Everest with the hugest grin on my face, and my toes and fingers nearly about to fall off and my hair (short and manageable) would be whipping around my face, I’d be holding my goggles and screaming out with happiness, stamping a flag in the ground with my name on it and just screaming because I made it to the top.

15. How many people do you consider true friends? What qualities do they have that are important to you? Why are they your friends?

I consider very few people to be and I don’t mean it in any offence to those who I call my friends these days, but I really don’t consider that many to be my real true friends.

Those that are, are usually very different from me, they have different interests, different dreams. So far it seems I pick people who are a good deal louder then me, and always up for trouble and pranks, someone who I can impress upon and then stand back and watch the fireworks. I love these types of partner ships. I get along famously with these few people and I’ve yet to have an argument that’s separated us, if we do fight we do it with a smile, agree to disagree and move on, joking about it…

They listen when I need them to, they talk when I need them too, they keep my mind of things I don’t want to think about and they don’t ask awkward questions.. They’re usually very quirky and love fun.

I consider these people true friends because I know I’d do anything for them, and they’d do the same for me, because we’ve been through a lot together… If one goes down the other goes with them… It’s always that way with my truest, closest friends.

16. What are your thoughts on Voldemort?

Some people I’ve spoken with think that he’s misunderstood, and that it’s his childhood etc.. I find him to be utterly repulsive, if only for the one reason, and that’s because he had Cedric killed and I was really rather fond of Cedric.

I don’t really agree with his ideals, and while I see sense and lots of logic, agreeing with him on the way he’s run his own ‘troops’ so to speak, and I really think that he’s smart in the way that he’s not latched on to people and doesn’t bother himself with people so much.

He has a goal and he’s doing everything he can to reach that goal, and in that sense I see him as a person and not an evil lord, but somewhere along the way he lost his humanity.

While his plan for no emotional attachment was working rather well, it’s becoming just as blowing to him as everything else. It’s as much a liability as Harry… Whereas Harry has people who will stick up for him because of love, not because they are afraid, Voldemort will be find that if his followers, although not all of them, or even most of them, but it’s possible that if offered safety from him, if given another option if shown what exactly he is capable of doing to them and what can be done to save them - if the fear was gone he’d be left with nothing, and on his own while powerful, he isn’t as dangerous as his death eaters.

If he did however, create a relationship with someone, however strong, I think he’d be much more powerful and he’d have a better understanding…. Making him far more deadly..
Just something I’ve been thinking about Voldermort and I think it qualify’s.

17. What do you think are your main 3 characteristics?

I’m not sure what word I’d use to describe them exactly but I think I’ll go with these three for now.
1. If I care about something, I do everything I can for that something, anything I can do, but it doesn’t just boil down to people, it’s everything, if I care I put everything into it so Passionate is my first characteristic
2. Right, I’m going to be honest and say, Obsessive, Possessive, to an extreme…I’m going to say they’re the one characteristic because they are so similar.
3. I’m going to go with Demanding self explanatory I’d hope.

18. What house do you feel you belong in? I don’t know really. I really find that I fit in with most of them, some more then others but I honestly think, that despite me loving Hufflpuff, or Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw is one of the better houses in my opinion, but I doubt that I would really be able to say that I carry all or most of the traits, perhaps one or two.

When I was comparing the houses in an essay I felt that I had quite a few Slytherin traits, although I’m not sure if they come across well on the internet, and a few Gryffindor… but I can’t pin point exactly, so I’m leaving up to the talented people here.

19. "Blood or water" - Which is more important; friends or family? I can’t answer this… Only because of my family. It makes the question a tad hard for me to answer, because those in my family who are not judgmental racist pigs, I happen to care very much for and would put them before my friends… most of my friends. Confusing question.

Alright goes like this; Non immediate family are substituted for my actual family, so therefore, I’d say blood, because I’d do anything for them, I may not know them very well, but they are family and therefore priority. My friends have their own families to take care of them. And my actual family can grow up before I even consider counting them as blood related.
