PERSONAL QUESTIONS
Which character from Harry Potter, DISCLUDING the obvious answer of Harry, would you say you most admire and why?:
Hermione. She's smart, determined and driven to work and do the right thing at all times.
She is loyal to her friends, but it's not afraid to call them out when they're wrong.
Which Hogwarts subjects would you be best and worst at - or otherwise like and dislike most?:
Defence against the dark arts seems enjoyable and useful, I think I'd try so hard to be good at it, I probably would. Potions and Herbology appeal most to me, because they are similar to my favourite school subjects, Chemistry and Biology. I'd be bored to death in History of magic, Astronomy, Study of Ancient Runes, Arithmancy and Divination. I probably would be terrible at Care of Magical Creatures, because I'm not very fond of animals, I just like to observe them from a safe distance, that's all. I'm not good at sports nomally, but flying and Quidditch seem exciting. And I'd like Muggle Studies, for some reason.
Which house would you WANT to be in, or which do you have most respect for and why?:
I actually don't/can't have a favorite. I admire the courage of Gryffindor, the loyalty of Hufflepuff, the cleverness of Ravenclaw and the cunning ambition of Slytherin.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?:
How I selfishly push people away.
If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?:
I’d make people respect difference.
How much use would magic have in your current everyday life?:
Oh, I’m terrible, I’d use it all the freaking time.
If you had one day left to live, what would you do?:
Go up to one certain person and ask for love. Yes, physically.
Tell us three random things about yourself:
1) I’m a hopeless internet addict; 2) I like nerd rock 3) I like nearly all kinds of movies, except horror

SITUATIONAL / IN-STORY QUESTIONS
Would you hex someone who was bothering you there and then?:
Yes, but only if I was sufficiently upset. And I’d probably do something small and regret it later. But I’d do it nonetheless.
What do you see in the Mirror of Erised?:
People who love me.
What special wizarding power - i.e. Animagi, Metamorphagi, being a Seer - would you want to have?:
A seer. Not sure why, but I’d take comfort in knowing what lies ahead, even if it’s terrible/I couldn’t change it.
In what situation would you use an Unforgiveable curse?:
To save myself or someone. Self-defense, basically.
Be honest - if you were in the wizarding community, what view would you take on blood heritage? (If you don't know, perhaps put your current views of class and the like into context): I’d strongly fight for the rights of Muggle-borns. Period.
P.S. I don’t think this excludes Slytherin, because they have members who support muggle-borns, and must have some muggle-born member. And I don’t think the general lack of support Slytherin gives to them should be the judge of whether or not someone belongs there. Not that I have a preference or anything. Just saying.
Imagine the Death Eaters come to your house, you being the head of an average wizarding family. They say join them, or otherwise give them ONE member of the family. What do you choose to do? What action perhaps would you take after making this decision? Join. And then plot a way out of it, betraying them.
Colin Creevey has been following you around all day, trying to get you to teach him a new secret spell he saw you do that he thought was cool. What do you do?:
I’d teach him, because I can’t resist kids praising me. I know, I’m awful.
Would you rather be attacking up close and personal, hiding far off using a type of long range attacks, or not on the battle field at all?:
I’d rather duel, face to face. The heat of combat seems exciting.
FINAL QUESTIONS
If you could become any character from the series for one day - 24 hours - who would it be?:
Hard to say. Either Hermione or Snape. But just ‘cause they’re my favorite characters;
If you were given the chance to permanently become part of the HP-verse (as "yourself"), would you take it?:
Sure. But only if I could still be a part of my muggle world as well.
