(no subject)
I think by now you know the drill (well, most of you). Comment to this entry and I will interview you (five questions). Let me know if you want me to interview you as a mun of your pups or if you want it to be an ic interview. Thanks.
I'll be editing this post with my answers as I tag in because this meme always spreads like wildfire.
For Severus:
1. What is one thing you are most proud of and don't be glib and lie saying it's "being a Potter," or "being a mother"- completely selfish, like "I can eat a whole large pizza by myself."
I'm the best curse breaker Gringotts has ever seen since Uncle Bill.
2. Tell me a secret.
A part of me is still waiting for the truce to be broken and for the war to start all over again.
3. What's your favorite quote/motto/truism?
Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.
~Bertrand Russell
4. What's your favorite bird?
Sparrow.
5. If there is one thing you'd wish everyone knew and believed in, what would it be?
Mercy.
For Lucius:
1. *locked to Miss Mary* By now you've realized the whole Horcrux thing was an elaborate ploy to get you into the family: if it hadn't worked, I would have tried love potions on you and Scorpius. However, if not my Hope, was there anyone you would have considered marrying?
I--honestly? I don't think I would have gotten married if things hadn't turned out the way they did. I was too determined to be on my own. I think I would have stayed that way.
Somehow it feels like if it weren't Scorpius it wouldn't have been anyone. It's so strange to think that, but it's true.
2. Who of your family do you think you're most like?
I like to think I'm most like my mother. She's incredible and I am so proud to be her daughter. I hope I can be the kind of wife and mom and person she is.
3. What was your most embarrassing moment at school? (Mine's was taking a flying limb to the face.)
I was running late for class first year and rounded a corner at warp speed and ran face first into a wall...in front of about 30 fellow students.
4. Favorite poet?
Langston Hughes. There's poetry and then there's poetry.
5. Favorite song?
In the Sun by Michael Stipe
For Scorpius:
1. Are you happy?
I am happier than I ever thought. Happier than I ever dreamed.
2. Do you realize my world revolves around you and our child now?
I do. The same is true for me.
3. If I could grant you one wish what would it be?
I can't think of anything I want that I don't already have.
4. What book do you never tire of reading?
I swear, this is not a cop out--any of your books. Peacock farmer....HEH.
After that probably The Three Muskateers.
5. Where should we go for a proper honeymoon?
Back to Greece. I loved it there.
For Siri Lupin:
*locked so you have to answer honestly*
1. Did you ever give up on you and my brother being together?
I did when I was 9. Apparently life had other plans.
2. Best part of being a Malfoy?
All the Malfoys. (Yes, you too) I feel very lucky to be part of the family.
3. Worst part of being a Potter?
People assuming they know me, or know my family just because they've heard the stories.
4. Do you want more children?
I always thought I would have a whole house filled with children like my parents but I'm pretty happy with one.
5. Ever plan to drink Kava again?
Hell no!
