01. When you die what would you most like people to do when they hear your name?
1. Miss you and smile,
2. Ask for more stories about your adventures,
3. Think in admiration of your achievements,
4. I don't care what people think about me when after I'm dead, it's when I'm alive that matters.
I’d rather know what people thought of me before I died, the others don’t really say that, although miss me and smile would be second.
02. What power would you like to have?
1. Invisibility
2. Super Strength
3. The ability to change the past
4. The ability to change your appearance at will
5. Mind Reading
6. The ability to talk to animals
Invisibility & Super Strength are kind of boring without another power. Changing the past could go wrong and end up being worse than before, although it' very tempting, Even though I would like to change appearance at will, mind reading won out because I get two powers really, I can read animals as well as human minds.
03. What are you most looking forward to learning at Hogwarts?
1. Apparition and disapparition
2. Transfiguration
3. Flying on a broomstick
4. Hexes and jinxes
5. All about magical creatures
6. Secrets about the Castle
7. Every area of magic I can
Hexes and jinxes would be fun to learn as well as transfiguration and about magical creatures so, every area it is.
04. Which road tempts you the most?
1. The sunny, grassy lane
2. The Narrow dark lantern lit alley
3. The twisting leaf-strewn path in the woods
4. The cobbled street lined with ancient buildings
The cobbled street sounds interesting but the narrow dark lantern ally reminds me of my mum, sister and me using a similar ally in town for being different because it wasn’t crowded.
05. Four boxes are placed before you. Which do you open?
1. The small tortoiseshell box, embellished with gold, inside which some small creature seems to be squeaking
2. The gleaming jet black box with a silver lock and key, marked with a mysterious rune that you know to be the mark of Merlin
3. The ornate golden casket, standing on clawed feet, whose inscription warms that both secret knowledge and unbearable temptation lie within
4. The small pewter box, unassuming and plain, with a scratched message upon it that reads ‘I only open for the worthy’
Unknown animal equals bad, it could hurt me, the other two are probably too tempting to be true, so Merlin. Always liked the stories of Merlin, so something of his is too good to pass up.
06. You are walking and come to a crossroads. Which path do you take?
1. The path that leads to a beach
2. The path that leads through a forest
3. The path that leads to a castle
Not going into a forest on my own, who knows what’s in there. The beach can wait until dusk while I rest at the castle after walking.
07. Which item would you pick out of a chest?
1. Dusty glass bottle
2. Ornate mirror
3. Rolled-up scroll
4. Silver dagger
5. Jewel
6. Old book
7. Glove
Ornate mirror - tempting, but I've always wanted a dagger.
08. How would you like to be remembered in history?
1. Being Wise
2. Being Good
3. Being Bold
4. Being Brave
Wise, maybe, Bold and brave are the same really, but bold to me is more assertive and self confident, brave to me is being fearless and valiant. What happened to the Being Great option? Because I would have chosen that instead of bold.
09. Would you rather invent a potion that would give you...
1. Power?
2. Love?
3. Glory?
4. Wisdom?
I wouldn't want to know everything, nor force love, glory or power...glory I could have fame...with power I could learn difficult to control spells better, so power I guess.
10. Which do you find most difficult to deal with?
1. Boredom
2. Cold
3. Hunger
4. Loneliness
5. Being ignored
Cold I can deal with, I like cold, hunger eventually passes, although the cravings don't and even though I get bored a lot, I hate being ignored, especially when I'm trying to ask something or talking.
11. Four goblets are placed in front of you, which would you choose to drink?
1. Foaming, silvery liquid that sparkles as though containing ground diamonds
2. Smooth, thick purple drink that smells of chocolate and plums
3. Golden liquid, which makes sun spots dance around the room
4. Mysterious black liquid, which gives the drinker strange visions
I like chocolate and I like plums but it sounds too good to be true, it could taste awful. The first one hmm, why would I want to drink something which could have choking diamonds in it..... I've always wanted to have visions, just hope they aren't Cordelia style before she became half demon.
12. A troll has gone berserk in the headmaster’s office and is going to destroy the precious items. In what order would you save the following?
1. Cure dragonpox potion
2. Merlin’s Books
3. Student records
2. 1. 3
Merlin's books first obviously because like I said before, I like the stories of Merlin. The student records are useful to history, but how heavy are they? A cure is more important than risking myself for a lot of paper/books that probably be recreated by a spell..
13. Once every century, the Flutterby bush produces flowers that adapt their scent to attract the unwary. What would they smell like to you?
1. The sea
2. Fresh parchment
3. Home
4. A crackling log fire
Home doesn't have a distinct smell, fresh parchment I do like but that would attract me nor a crackling fire, although it sounds nice. Fresh sea air is more pleasing and refreshing.
14. Which would you most hate being called by other people?
1. Being Ordinary
2. Being Selfish
3. Being Ignorant
4. Being Cowardly
Never been called ordinary. Selfish, I can be so moving on. .... Being called Ignorant - I would hate that more than being called a coward
15. Which would you rather be?
1. Liked
2. Imitated
3. Praised
4. Envied
5. Feared
6. Trusted
Not bothered if I'm liked or not, unless I like them and want them to like me back, but that's rare. Hate imitation, don't need to be praised really, being envied would be nice. Being feared would also be good but I'd rather be trusted.
16. A muggle confronts you and says that they are sure you are a witch or wizard. Do you:
1. Ask what makes them think so
2. Agree and walk away, leaving them wondering about the truth
3. Say yes and tell them you'll jinx them if they don't leave
4. Tell them you think perhaps they need to call the mental hospital
It's the thing I would do because it's along the same lines of saying "whatever you say *rolls eyes*" when someone accuses you of something.
17. Which are you most afraid of?
1. Heights
2. Small Spaces
3. Isolation
4. Dark
Got used to the dark, can always light a candle or turn on a light. Small spaces, I'm okay in lifts, so small spaces don't bother me too much. Isolation doesn’t always last...Height, really high heights are O_o
18. One of your house mates has cheated in a Hogwarts exam by using a self-spelling quill. Now he has come top of the class in Charms, pushing you into second place. Professor Flitwick is suspicious of what happened. He draws you to one side after his lesson and asks you whether or not your classmate used a forbidden quill. What do you do?
1. Lie and say you don’t know (but hope that somebody else tells professor flitwick the truth.)
2. Tell Professor Flitwick that he ought to ask your classmate (and resolve to tell your classmate that if he doesn’t tell the truth, you will.)
3. Tell Professor Flitwick the truth. If your classmate is prepared to win by cheating, he deserves to be found out. Also, as you are both in the same house, any points he loses will be regained by you, for coming first in his place.
4. You would not wait to be asked to tell Professor Flitwick the truth. If you knew that somebody was using a forbidden quill, you would tell the teacher before the exam started.
I would hate to be cheated out of getting first place especially if I had put effort into learning for the test.
19. Which of the following would you most like to study?
1. Centaurs
2. Goblins
3. Merpeople
4. Ghosts
5. Vampires
6. Werewolves
7. Trolls
Almost went for vampires, but I don't think there is much I would learn that is new, same with the others, so merpeople are more intriguing. Also, they get thumbs up for trying to kill Wendy.
20. A troll stops you and your group at a bridge and demands one of you fight him before you can pass.
1. Draw straws to see who fights him.
2. Volunteer to fight him yourself.
3. Try and trick the troll into letting you all pass without fighting him.
4. Plan for all of you to fight the troll without telling him.
Would have said all fight, but that could go wrong and someone could get hurt, like me. Not drawing straws because with my luck I would get the short straw and I'm not volunteering. So, "Ooo look over there, it's a lady troll! - *run*" type answer is better.
21. What is the first thing you'd explore in a magical garden?
1. The silver leafed tree bearing golden apples
2. The fat red toadstools that appear to be talking to each other
3. The bubbling pool, in the depths of which something luminous is swirling
4. The statue of an old wizard with a strangely twinkling eye
Golden apples, someone or thing is probably guarding it. Aren’t golden apples an immortality Greek myth?. The toadstools could be toxic and waiting to spray something at me, look at the flowers in Alice in Wonderland. The statue is interesting but could the eye be a trap?. I like to look at ponds, so the pool.
22. Which of the following would you consider the scariest nightmare?
1. Waking up one day and none of you friends and family remember you
2. Talking in a silly voice so no one could understand you and everyone laughing at you
3. Being on top of a cliff with no hand or footholds
4. Being in a windowless, dark room with an eye looking through the keyhole
I would hate my family not knowing who I was, where would I live and what will happen or have happened to my belongings.
23. Late at night, walking alone down the street, you hear a peculiar cry that you believe to have a magical source. Do you:
1 Proceed with caution, keeping one hand on your concealed wand and an eye out for any disturbance?
2 Draw your wand and try to discover the source of the noise?
3 Draw your wand and stand your ground?
4 Withdraw into the shadows to await developments, while mentally reviewing the most appropriate defensive and offensive spells, should trouble occur?
5. Approach the source with a loud battle cry,
6. Hex first and ask questions later.
I'm not going after the noise and standing my ground might draw attention to my location. Something could be those shadows. Maybe it doesn't know I'm there so a loud battle cry is out. Hexes could backfire if I say the wrong one in a panic, so proceeding with caution is best.
24. Which do you prefer?
1. Moon
2. Stars
I like both, but I look to the moon the most
25. Which do you prefer?
1. River
2. Forest
I like both so difficult...There's usually a river, stream or lake near a forest and visa versa... I chose forest because I like trees and always wanted a proper tree house.
26. Which do you prefer?
1. Dawn
2. Dusk
Not a morning person, so dusk.
27. Which piece would you choose while playing chess?
1. Black
2. White
All I wear is black, when I played chess (not properly) I always chose black.
28. You arrive at a fork in the road. Not knowing what lies down either way, do you go…
1. Right
2. Left
I'm more left brained than right, I sit on the left side of the bus, unless someone is in my favourite seat. I like the letter L better than the letter R
1. Miss you and smile,
2. Ask for more stories about your adventures,
3. Think in admiration of your achievements,
4. I don't care what people think about me when after I'm dead, it's when I'm alive that matters.

Unknown animal equals bad, it could hurt me, the other two are probably too tempting to be true, so Merlin. Always liked the stories of Merlin, so something of his is too good to pass up.
