Sorting Application.
Fill out the following application and paste it into a comment (or more than one, if necessary!) to this post. Please answer all of the questions as honestly as possible. Be as brief or as long-winded as you would like. Keep in mind, however, that the more you elaborate on your reasons behind your answers, the more accurate your sorting is likely to be.
Once we have received your application, it will be posted to the community from the mod account. Please do not tell anyone which application is yours. The applications are meant to be anonymous to eliminate any bias from previous contact between you and our voters from affecting your sorting. Comments will likewise be screened to prevent people from merely "sheeping" off of other voters.
Important: Please post it inside a textbox (or series of textboxes, as you will probably need multiple comments) so that the formatting is easier to copy and paste. Thank you! :)

One of your house mates has cheated in a Hogwarts exam by using a Self-Spelling Quill. Now he has come top of the class in Charms, beating you into second place. Professor Flitwick is suspicious of what happened. He draws you to one side after his lesson and asks you whether or not your classmate used a forbidden quill. What do you do?
* Lie and say you don't know (but hope that somebody else tells Professor Flitwick the truth).
* Tell Professor Flitwick that he ought to ask your classmate (and resolve to tell your classmate that if he doesn't tell the truth, you will).
* Tell Professor Flitwick the truth. If your classmate is prepared to win by cheating, he deserves to be found out. Also, as you are both in the same house, any points he loses will be regained by you, for coming first in his place.
* You would not wait to be asked to tell Professor Flitwick the truth. If you knew that somebody was using a forbidden quill, you would tell the teacher before the exam started.
