  • What sort of profession in the wizarding world would you choose and why?
    I'd probably be someone working in the Daily Prophet or a magazine or newspaper of sorts, since that's what I want to be in real life. I've always had a passion for writing no matter what, even if it isn't logical right up to short paragraphs on how I can lead my life better. Writing, to me, is like breathing, I can't live without it. Plus, you always get a kick out of seeing your name in the papers, everyone knows that and it’d be even better if you were the one who wrote the article.

  • If you could teach one class at Hogwarts, what would it be and why?
    Most definitely Charms. Seems like one of the most interesting subjects at Hogwarts to me, because it sounds fun and I always love to read about it when JK mentions it in the books. I find it fascinating how floating a feather can be difficult for some and not others; I want to find out for myself.

  • 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?
    Nope. As much as I like challenges, I just happen to prefer those that don’t include the endangerment of my existence. I wouldn’t want to risk my life for eternal glory because it doesn’t make sense to me, I don’t want to die for a chance to be in History or to get the TriWizard Cup, I can’t bear leaving my family and friends behind.

  • If you could choose your animagus form, what would it be and why?
    A Golden Eagle. Transportation made easy and they are really beautiful creatures, gliding through the wind while searching for their prey. They make their nests on mountain ledges and such; I think that’s pretty clever, seeing as how they want to protect their eggs from the danger that lurks below on the ground and their keen sense of sight makes it easy for them to spot their prey. OH and I can cuff anyone who irritates me(:

  • If you could be written into any HP Series book as a new character, which book would it be, and who would your character be? Why did you choose that book/character?
    Eh, in book 3, I think. Most of all, it’s because it’s my favourite book and we get to learn about Sirius and all that stuff. And I’d like to be Hermione’s friend, seeing as how we both have the same interests in learning, though I’ll make sure I take a break from studying now and then and not always bury my head into books. I like the wild side of life too, sometimes. And I wouldn’t mind being Luna Lovegood’s friend either, if only she had been introduced in the 3rd book.

  • What is your favorite magical spell/charm? Why?
    Expelliarmus. It gives me a sense of security to know that after casting that spell, I am the only one with the wand and it also gives me an advantage since I have the ability to do whatever I want with the person, good or bad. If I were in a dangerous situation, I will always think of the basic thing and that is, of course, how to disarm my opponent before he/she does something to me.

  • Name three reasons why you would like to be sorted into each House.
    Right then.

    Gryffindor:
    - I admire their trait for bravery and courage, I really do. Some people see me as brave but I disagree at times. I can be scared out of my wits by a single mouse running across the floor and I can also be the one who will try to protect my friends from harm’s way. I can be really defensive and protective over something I care about.
    - Plus, it would be super cool to be in the same house as The Boy Who Lived(:
    - And also to win Quidditch all the time.

    Slytherin:
    - Their History. I would love to be part of that History, because it’s so messed up.
    - You can always do something wrong and when you’re caught, just say: “I’m a Slytherin, what were you expecting?” haha!
    - It’d be neat to be in the same house as Lord Voldemort was in once.

    Hufflepuff:
    - I like being around loyal people. They come to your defense when you’re insulted, and it’s quite unlikely that you’ll get blackmailed or stabbed in the back and I always like that sense of security.
    - And they seem like really nice people who would accept you for who you are.
    - They seem laid-back to me, and I actually like doing that sometimes.

    Ravenclaw:
    - A very studious house and I find that I share their passion for learning.
    - They’re very…witty. I like being witty, what can I say.
    - It’d be fun to be surrounded by other intellectuals and I’d know that people would call us intelligent because we really are.

  • You've received your O.W.L results. What are your results? (You have to have failed or done poorly in at least one subject)
    I think most of my subjects would be pretty good; I always make it a point to study till my limits for every single subject so that I can roughly tell how much I can get from it, though, the one subject I think I would do poorly in is History of Magic. I don’t think I have enough patience to listen to Professor Binn’s lectures about the Giant Wars and such, I would be far more interested in Muggle History instead. It always pleases and intrigues me to see how different and similar two lives can be.

  • If you could have any superpower - but only ONE - what would it be?
    I love this kind of question. I’d have the ability to Shapeshift into anyone or anything, because I can always trick people and powers like invisibility and immortality don’t appeal to me.

  • What HP character do you identify with most and why?
    Hermione Granger or Luna Lovegood. Hermione, I can relate with her since I have a deep passion for learning and I’ve always considered myself to be intelligent, though I may be crazy at times. Like her, I’m always having my head in the books but I know times in which there’s far better things to do rather than read but then all I do is write instead. Lol, I know, crazy. Hermione’s also very loyal and I find myself the same, the motto for me while doing projects is “Leave no Man behind” because I believe in it.

    Luna, because I can be crazy. Absolutely insane, I can laugh at myself and talk to myself (this happens often when I do my homework) and I have, more than once, tried to read a book upside down. But most of all, I’m a firm believer in what I believe in and I won’t budge from my opinion, no matter what someone says or does, just like Luna.

  • What would you see if you looked into the Mirror of Erised?
    This will sound corny but I don’t care. I’ll probably see World Peace, because I’ve had enough of wars and deaths and such evil things in the world, it’s making me sick. I want everything to be flowers and sunshine again, where everyone is friendly and smiling as they cook their chicken.

  • If you won a million dollars, how would you spend it?
    Give half of it to my parents to do whatever they want with it, some of it to charity, keep most of it in the bank and spend the remaining on luxuries since I’ve always wondered what’s it’s like to be rich. Oh, and I’ll migrate my whole family to somewhere safer like Canada or New Zealand. Safety for my family is my number 1 priority in life.

  • Which HP book is your favorite and why?
    Prisoner of Azkaban. The plot twist is brilliant and I loved how JK pieced the book together, it’s definitely one of the best, for me. I loved how she explained everything and not make it seem far-fetched at the same time, the invention of the Time-Turner, Hermione actually keeping secrets to herself about it.

  • Which HP book is your least favorite and why?
    Order of the Phoenix. Why? I can’t handle emo!Harry, he’s so irritating. I could do without all the screaming and all the caps in the wordings, most definitely. Throughout the entire book and especially when he arrived at the Order Headquarters, I felt like strangling him.

  • What was your ideal job as a kid? Has that changed? What is your ideal job now?
    Well, truthfully, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a lawyer because I was all about the money then and I kept thinking of ways to make money so that I could stabilize my life and take care of my family well. But now, yeah my ideal job is to be a journalist. I love to write about anything under the sun and English is one of my strengths in school. And also the bit about seeing your name in the papers;)

  • 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 charm that would make a procrastinator…not procrastinate. I *hate* procrastinating and I know I shouldn’t do it but I do anyway and when the consequences come, I regret procrastinating. So I would really really love it if there was a charm to prevent procrastination. I would call it…procrastinate exume. Or something, I have no clue.

  • 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 one or more of my family members dying. Yeah, that’s my biggest fear and when I say Riddikulus, I’d like them to be sitting on a great big armchair and be sipping tea or watching TV, maybe even cooking, I wouldn’t mind. I’d just like to see them happy.

  • What do you look for in a friend?
    As long as a person’s friendly, I wouldn’t mind having him/her as a friend. I don’t look for anything, because I believe in accepting in people for who they really are, I wouldn’t even mind if the person was cunning because I think that’s a fascinating trait about them. I want them to be able to be themselves around me, so I don’t really have a general idea of what I look for in a friend, because I don’t expect people to be the same.

  • What is the one thing you would most like to accomplish?
    I’d like to be…complete. Have a good family, settle down, have a job I’m in love with and don’t mind doing over-time for, be in a country that’s safe and is beautiful. Yeah, I’d like that a lot.

  • What trait most annoys you about other people?
    When someone is left out and you *know* they are. That annoys the heck outta me. If you know someone’s being left out, I definitely think you should do something about it and not keep quiet because you know that *you* wouldn’t want to be treated like that so I don’t see why anyone else should also.

  • What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?
    - Hard-working: I procrastinate sometimes but when I do buck up and get my stuff together, I go all out and do everything in my power to achieve something and get it done the proper way.
    - Being a leader: Not to brag or anything, but I usually find myself being the leader in the group and I really like it, having Leadership qualities, it means I’m experienced in what I do and I can always help someone out and lead the group.
    - Responsible: I’m responsible and I can make my own decisions. I’m not the type of person who will shove something at someone’s face when I know I’m the one who’s supposed to be doing it.
    - Funny: I seem to be able to make the tension in the air disappear with my jokes.
    - Intelligent: I think I know more than I should for someone my age and I love it when I’m able to talk to adults and have their opinions about things I never get to talk about with my own friends.

  • What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?
    - Procrastinate: I do this. A lot.
    - Sacrcasm: I am extremely sarcastic, enough said. I can bite someone’s head off with my spite and sometimes, I don’t even realize it until later, when I’ve hurt their feelings. The worse thing? I can’t help it.
    - Stubborn: I won’t move out of my opinion about something until I have logical proof that what I believe in is wrong.
    - Temper: I have a temper, though I don’t show it often. I count to 10 when I get it to calm down and after that I’ll try my best to sort things out but when someone does something really stupid in front of me while I’m pissed, they won’t even know what hit them. One time, I grabbed someone by the collar and pushed him roughly against the wall and got caught. I felt horrible.

  • Define in your own words the following key traits:
    • Courage: The ability to rise during a difficult situation.
    • Loyalty: Being there for someone when they need you.
    • Intelligence: Knowing things in AND out of the books.
    • Ambition: Dreams.


  • Name: Zenna
  • Age: 14
  • What house do you think DOESN'T fit you? (This question is optional for those who feel they just DO NOT fit in a house. Please explain WHY.)
  • Where did you find out about us?
    I was just browsing through the results I got when I typed “Harry Potter” in the Search archive(:
