1. Name: Ingvild
2. Age: 16
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
While I am actually quite content with living in the middle of nowhere, I think I'll say France, either by the Alps (skiing!) or Provence (hot!). I'd like to live in France because I want to learn to speak it fluently - I know I could never do that by just learning it at school.
4. What would your Room of Requirement look like?
Well, it would depend, wouldn't it? But I think it'd be like an atelier or something. It would have an easel and watercolours, oil paint, charcoal, pencils and crayons.. and lots of paper. And inspiration. That's always nice to have.
5. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character?
Hmm. I think, Draco, he's just so cruel and stands for everything that I think is wrong, like thinking he's better than everyone else, and he has a very stuck-up attitude. He's mean to others and he pushes younger students out of the way! Yeah, yeah, he was brought up to think that is correct and all that, but he's what, 17, he's not dumb, he could have made up his mind and he made it the wrong way.
6. Is the glass half empty or half full?
Half empty.
7. Give us a quotation (Can be from a famous person, a song, or even a poem-whatever you want) you feel represents your life or personality.
Yeah, um, I kind of am really bad at this. "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." It's true to most people, though, isn't it? Most of the time I just dream or tag along and suddenly it's been another year. Maybe I should stop that.
8. In your life, who comes first: family or friends?
Family. I love my friends, but family comes first. Without them I'd be lost.
9. What is your favorite childhood memory?
Why, I don't know, really.
Maybe in kindergarten when I stole food and I was caught and got yelled at. I did it because the grown-ups did it.
10. What would you say is your biggest flaw?
I always get insecure. I think that people don't like me, that they don't care about me, that I'm just a 5th wheel. I get hurt really quickly, and I'm very shy and feel awkward talking about anything.
Basically, I guess. Low self esteem?
11. If you had been at Hogwarts during Harry’s fifth year, do you think that you would have joined the D.A.?
Probably. I hate incompetent teachers and I hate feeling like I don't learn what I should learn.
12. Describe how you react to difficult or stressful situations.
Not very well, I'm afraid. I usually get snappy and angsty and get a nervous breakdown in the form of crying or yelling or hitting my head or something. Ow.
13. Which do you value more: compassion or justice?
Compassion. I think that justice is important, but I'd like a compassionate person more. And I think that I am more of a compassionate person.
14. Would you say that you’re a child at heart, or that you have an old soul?
I think I'd say I'm an old soul. I can be childish sometimes, but I think being very childish is generally stupid and annoying, especially when you make a lot of noise, and especially when you make a lot of noise when someone is having a speech or something, because that's just so respectless.
But even I can suddenly walk out in the garden with bedsheets on. But that's mostly only when I'm with my friends.
15. Which Hogwarts House do you think that the Sorting Hat would place you in?
Ravenclaw, I think. I learn quickly and I actually like learning. Either that or Gryffindor. Maybe. I don't know!
16. If you have a picture of yourself and feel comfortable posting it, please do so! Pictures are fun!
Happy new year :)
