• What sort of profession in the wizarding world would you choose and why?
  
  I would be an investigative reporter. I would have a weekly column where I would discuss all manner of things. I am a writer, and I love writing about everything. I could have serious fun with a column like that, and I could do a lot of good as well.
  
  
• If you could teach one class at Hogwarts, what would it be and why?
  
  Defense Against the Dark Arts, if only because they don't have an Appreciation of the Dark Arts class, or something like it. I think the dark arts, from a purely educational standpoint, are fascinating. Granted, they are destructive in the wrong hands, but instead of hiding from these things we should shed light on them and educate ourselves properly. This includes defense also.
  
  
• 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?
  
  No, I am there to learn not to go about proving my magic skills in pointless and possibly dangerous competitions. I would go watch to cheer on my house mate, but nothing more.
  
  
• If you could choose your animagus form, what would it be and why?
  
  I would be a black cat with blue eyes and a small patch of white fur under my chin. I would choose this form because cats are sleek and fast, they have poise and a aire of power. The black would signify my favorite color and the white would signify that, even in the darkest of situations there is always light. Cats are also independent and beautiful.
  
  
• What HP character do you identify with most and why?
  
  Hermione. She's a fish out of water, but she holds herself up well, she is her own worst critic and can not see how talented she is. This is how I feel all the time. Also, I was tormented in school by the popular kids because I was different, so I know what she is going through.
  
  
• What would you see if you looked into the Mirror of Erised?
  
  I would see myself at a book signing, doing promotion for my latest best selling novel.
  
  
• If you won a million dollars, how would you spend it?
  
  I would do practical things: I would buy a house and a car, get my own computers, get my health problems taken care of, maybe go back to college and save/invest the rest. I would, however, take a little money and go on a modest vacation for a couple weeks,maybe to Disney World.
  
  
• What was your ideal job as a kid? Has that changed? What is your ideal job now?
  
  I wanted to be a lawyer, that's my first memory of a job I wanted. It changed when I got older and decided the world didn't need another lawyer. I have loved writing since I was in grade school, so that's what I've gone with.
  
  
• 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 create a charm that would all the person wearing it to detect evil around them, or other negatives like dishonesty. It would be in the shape of a heart (for the girls) or a snitch (for the boys) and would be worn on the neck or wrist. I would call it Charmalarm.
  
  
• 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 be my uncle Eugene and when i cast Riddikulus he would still be Eugene, but he would start turning into the shape of a balloon and he would keep expanding until he popped confetti and candy everywhere.
