Revised!

I've tried to elaborate the answers a little.

• What sort of profession in the wizarding world would you choose and why? I honestly have no idea. I'd probably fix, produce, and sell wands. Hm... owning a shop would most likely be the last thing I'd do in real life, because I hate to socialize & commerlialize. But a shop like Olivanders would be really interesting since choosing a wand is such an important event.. and the choice also reveals something about the owner. It seems like a really interesting job. :D
  
  
• If you could teach one class at Hogwarts, what would it be and why? McGonagall's class. What was it called again? I've read the german version so I'm not that sure about the terminology. I think it was transfiguration. First of all, I would love to replace McGonagall. I adore her, she's a really fair teacher.. fair, but strict. It's also the class that seems to be the most interesting one to me. It feels like an art in itself.. and it seems to be a more exciting class then for example history, but there's not that extreme pratical focus either. It think it's a good combination of practice and theory.
  
  
• 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? Never ever. There's not much I would gain from it besides popularity. It's a waste of time and besides that, I don't like to be watched by people. I would get nervous and die during the first challenge. =o Besides that, I don't have enough faith in my own strength in the first place.. so even if nobody would be watching the tournament I wouldn't have the courage to participate.
  
  
• If you could choose your animagus form, what would it be and why? Probably a squirrel. Because it's small, fast, can climb trees, and doesn't attract too much attention. It would be easy to sneak around. Based on the looks I would rather be a puffin though.
  
  
• What HP character do you identify with most and why? Uhm, I never gave it a thought. I can relate to Neville very well. He reminds me of what I was like when I was younger. And I'm still a tiny little bit like him.. with a little more self confidence. But like him I'm very clumsy and shy. I can also identify a little with Hermione's attitude toward learning, but I think she's a little too pushy and selfish.. especially since she started the S.P.E.W. organization. Did she ever consider what the house-elves think? Oh, and I also identify with Lupin. He's much more well-mannered and understanding than Hermione. =o
  
  
• What would you see if you looked into the Mirror of Erised? Myself, looking more confident and satisfied than I am right now. I really want to get rid of all those insecurities I have.. *sighs* I would be what I always wanted to be, an art restorer.. and I would be surrounded by a few people, all of them would smile happily. I wouldn't be married though.
  
  
• If you won a million dollars, how would you spend it? I would share it fairly with my family. Half of the rest would be invested and the other half will be spend on Manga, Anime, and aid organizations. I'd probably also start a business.
  
  
• What was your ideal job as a kid? Has that changed? What is your ideal job now? There's only one job that I can remember. I really wanted to be a writer. Simply because I was told that I'm good at it.. and I also won some prizes and been in the radio because of my poems. *soft laugh* Right now my ideal job is art restorer/conservator. It combines all the things I'm good at: art, history, math & physics. I also realized that fixing things comes more natural to me than being creative. Writing and drawing is a pain to me, because of other people's expectations.
  
  
• 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? A spell that would stop time whenever I want and wouldn't let me age while the time is stopped. That way I could sleep as long as I want. Of course, I wouldn't teach the spell to anybody else. XD I am going to be unoriginal and call it Alto. Hehe, Mexicans will probably know what I mean.
  
  
• 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? Can a boggart turn itself into a group of people? If yes, it would turn into at least two or three people who imitate everything I do and say. Hm.. I actually have no idea what it would turn into after I used the counter-spell.... their entire bodies would probably be ducktaped. Hehe~
  
  
• What do you look for in a friend? Someone who: accepts me for who I am, gives me honest advice when I need it, comes straight to the point of what he/she wants to say, and would stay by my side in good and bad times.. cliché, cliché~
  
  
• What trait most annoys you about other people? There are a lot of things. *thinks for a while* Hm.. people who invade my privacy annoy me the most. I can't stand it when people snoop around in my belongings or.. when people come extremely close to me, take a deep breath, and then ask what kind of perfume I use. That's just disgusting. Oh, and I also dislike people with no manners or respect for others.
  
  
• What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?
  
  I'm good at lying. I believe that a little, white lie isn't all that bad, especially if you want to make a good impression on someone.
  
  I'm open-minded. I accept other people's opinions as long as they accept mine or they give me a reasonable explanation why they don't agree with me. The only things I absolutely can't tolerate are people who: talk bad about you behind your bag, take advantage of others, and hypocrites.
  
  I'm deeply caring. I may come off aloof, unreliable, and uncaring, but that's only because I have trouble expressing how much I care about my friends and family. I'll always be there if they are in trouble.
  
  I'm friendly.
  
  I'm polite. Well, most of the time.
  
  
• What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?
  
  Paranoid: I may not show it often, but I constantly doubt other people's intentions.
  
  Inferiority Complex: At times, or .. actually quite often, I feel worthless and that I don't have much going for me. I'm modest and constantly put myself down, out of fear that I might have to prove my knowledge to someone.
  
  Self-contradictory: Yes, I admit it. I don't make sense. I may say one thing, but really mean another. I'm often torn between two choices or feel love and hate for something or someone at the same time. I think that's also called ambivalence. *shrugs shoulders*
  
  Arrogance: *nods* I can be quite full of myself at times. A lot of poeple think I'm extremely arrogant, but they often confuse my shyness for arrogance. I don't let out that feeling of overconfidence. It's just there when I really need it.
  
  Irascible: It doesn't happen often, but when it does it's devastating. I may just glare at people or slam the door, but I'm also quite capable of shouting at people or hitting them. Yay. *coughs* That only happens around idiots like my sister. And I only snap once or twice a year.
