OT: Fun quiz.
I'll be reviewing a few great fics tomorrow. But in the meantime, here's a fun quiz I'm mooching from mrstater, because to my surprise -- despite preferring Ravenclaw to Gryffindor and preferring Snape to Sirius -- I've apparently proven myself to be rather awe-worthy to our lovely boy Remus.
