1. You're stranded on a desert island. You get one book, one album, and one person. Whom and what do you bring?
2. Into which house would you sort Barty Crouch, Jr. and why? Into which house would you sort Barty Crouch, Sr. and why?
3. Re-sort the following characters. None can go to their canon house (unless you make a REALLY good argument): Remus Lupin, Draco Malfoy, Luna Lovegood, Cedric Diggory.
OH SHI- SO THAT'S WHERE I SAW THE ANY BOOK, CD, AND PERSON THING. I'M NOT HALLUCINATING YAY. Btw for #1 see #3 on heartsablaze's questions. OH YOU PEOPLE, TRYIN' TO SCREW WITH SHAN'S HEAD.
2. Barty Crouch Jr would be in Slytherin because if you cut him open he'd be filled with snakes, lies, and Slytherin pride paraphernalia, THIS IS NOT EVEN UP FOR DEBATE. B.C. Sr would be in Ravenclaw I think, he seems like a super smartypants and not too overrun by emotion, at least not on the outside.
3. Remus: Ravenclaw. He was always doing well in his classes and ended up a teacher (well, for a year). Draco: Hufflepuff. Loyal, worked his ass off to keep his parents out of trouble. Not so much for the fair play though. Luna: Gryffindor. She's too spacey to even think twice about being afraid. She seemed disconnected from death, even. And she had a different sort of courage, which was a lack of fear about being different. Cedric: Pfft. Gryffindor. Brave, and probably chivalrous.

Can you explain and expand on this a little for me? What exactly is it about him that makes you think he's a Slytherin?
He was a naughty boy. He was ambitious because he & heart semi'd the Dark Lord, and did a whole hell of a lot to impress him. I mean, I know I wouldn't want to be in Moody's body for a whole year just to impress some dude I was crushing on. Yeah he was loyal and smart and sort of brave in a twisted way to attempt that, but because of his self-serving, obsessive intentions and Dark Lord fanboyism he was pretty much in Slytherin. I think the Dark Lord had a tree house somewhere when he was in Evil Kindergarten that had a banner on it that said "No Lions, Eagles, or Badgers ALLOWED" except really cute and misspelled with an angry snake face drawn on it. I think Voldie and his followers had cooties for all the houses except Slytherin so B.C. Jr had to be in it. He had a snake fetish too.
1. My perfect night would involve me, pajamas, friends, food out the wazoo (good food!), good spirits, and some form of entertainment. And hopefully it would end in good sex :D ... with my g/f. Hopefully NOT a group orgy. Well. Maybe.
2. The role of the Shan. I dunno. I've been described as an amoeba before. I can't be categorized. Sometimes I'm the clown, sometimes the moderator. Sometimes I barely say a word and just observe. I try to balance whatever the atmosphere provides, I guess.
3. Because they said that certain aspects of my personality (my sense of humor and crudeness, specifically) would be welcomed in that house. They didn't take themselves seriously enough to be offended. Plus they said they dug up my old app and thought I'd fit in well.
1. Which house would you most WANT to be in? This is not necessarily the same as the house you think you might be put in by the hat. Don't worry about pushing, I asked you straight up. Which house is your favourite?
2. When you are wrong, do you admit it easily? When you've hurt or upset someone, do you apologise readily? What if you are totally sure you did nothing wrong?
3. Which is more important: actions or words? Intentions or outcomes?
4. If you could rewrite the end of the series, starting at the final Battle of Hogwarts in DH (so everything before then is set in stone), what would you change?
1. Gryffindor. It values all the things I value, and I feel I'd get along with a lot of the Gryff characters. From the P.O.V. of the books I guess it's pretty biased, but I feel like I'd be very comfortable there.
2. Wow, no. Unless it's something minor like I thought something was orange but it's really yellow. Actually scratch that because thinking back I just recently got into a (non-serious) argument about whether my friend's mardi gras beads were pink or light purple. Btw they were PINK. But anyway I have a very hard time backing down and admitting when I'm wrong. If I've hurt someone I am quick as hell to feel guilty. If they're pissed I'm fine with it but sad? I just can't stand to see someone sad. It's a big weak spot of mine. If I am totally sure I did nothing wrong I will fight fight fight it til the cows come home, and even after they've gotten settled for the night. And for a bit more after that. I hate knowing I'm in the right and someone doesn't believe me

1a. I value courage, and not backing down from a challenge or your own convictions. I value being bold even in the face of insurmountable odds, even if the bold behavior is considered stupid by others. Honor in an abstract way is very admirable, like... not in the traditional sense, but your own personal definition of honor. It's different for everyone. For me it is standing by your convictions and fighting for them, and never apologizing for it
( ... )
3. I was on my best behavior when I filled the old one out. It wasn't really letting my personality shine. Plus I really have changed (or simply allowed myself to fully be myself?) in the past year. Take from that what you will.
Try again, please, on 1 and 2. Think to yourself, "why would she be asking these questions? What could she possibly want to see to make her sort me?"
I'll give you a little hint on #1: Gryffindors are known for being stubborn, believing themselves to be always right to a fault. Lily's change of opinion of both Snape and James Potter is a big damn deal in the books because it seems very strange that she'd be able to do that kind of thing, especially in relation to James Potter.
I'll give you another hint on #2: EXPLAIN WHY HE IS NOT BRAVE, COULD NEVER BE SEEN AS BRAVE, ETC.
If you don't want to answer these questions, why bother appealing?
Hi there, I'm not an idiot. They seemed like very simple questions. How about elaborating without seeming like an ass?
1. Obviously it was possible because that's just what she did. I don't think her opinions about her friends fall into a right/wrong category. Like, "I think Bob is a good person. Therefore Bob is always good." It was her ideals that were right/wrong, and because Snape no longer fit into those ideals she dumped him. We aren't told about the James thing but I'm guessing he cleaned his act up and began to fit very nicely into her ideals.
2. He was cowardly for obvious reasons. Betraying his friends under threat of his own life may have been very slightly forgivable, but he kept going back for more. If it wasn't for Pettigrew there wouldn't have been a second coming of Voldemort. He was pitiable but he was in now way, shape, or form brave, and to me it is so obvious why that it doesn't even warrant an explanation if you've read the books.

2. What role do you usually play in a group?
3. Those people that told you that you would fit better in other houses, what were their reasons (meaning how and why would you fit better)?

1b. Could you explain what you think the main differences are, in values or personality traits, between Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs?
2a. Do you think this sort of stubbornness is a house trait? What do you think is the difference between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff stubbornness?

2) Peter Pettigrew: Brave or cowardly?
3) What about the tone of your appeals application is different from your original application? What do you want us to see that's different?

2. Very, very cowardly.
