To get away from my vacation reports now that I’ve finished posting them I thought I’d fill this in. I found it on MrsTaters Livejournal. She writes excellent Remus/Tonks fanfic. Anyway, here’s my response.
List the Hogwarts Houses in order of which House you’d most likely be Sorted into (1 being most likely):
1. Hufflepuff
2. Ravenclaw
3. Gryffindor
4. Slytherin
List 3 characters you think you’d be good friends with:
They seem to be boys, which is odd as I don’t actually have any male friends in real life.
1. Neville Longbottom - even though I don’t think I’d get sorted into Gryffindor he didn’t have many friends inside his house and I’m terrible at making friends so we could group together.
2. Percy Weasley - I have a slight obsession with the rules myself and although I’ve never been pompous I was extremely proud to be made a prefect, although I didn’t make Head Girl, bloody school politics.
3. Hermione Granger - I’d be very jealous of her brains as I want to be smart and am sort of smart but not brilliant like she is. However, I couldn’t not be friends with her, she’s the person I want to be like, a kindred spirit whether she’d annoy me or not.
List 3 characters you think you’d get into catfights with:
1. Hermione Granger - it would depend on how good a friends we were, if we were close friends no but if she wasn’t my main friend then my jealousy would probably spark a few fights.
2. Draco Malfoy - I don’t stand for bullies which is probably why I’ve been bullied a lot at school. I’ll stick up for other people and make myself a target. It’s probably the only Gryffindor trait I have.
3. Ron Weasley - his blinkered biased view at the world would annoy me no end. We’d probably have many fights over how not all Slytherins are evil and not all Gryffindors good (something I think JKR herself must have believed looking at the composition of the final battle)
List 3 characters you think you’d ask on a date:
I wouldn’t ask anybody, don’t have the courage which is perhaps why I’ve yet to have a boyfriend.
List 3 characters you think would ask you on a date:
I don’t think anybody would (no-one has yet) but I wouldn’t say no to:
1. Neville Longbottom
2. Remus Lupin (if I was 20 years older otherwise it’s a little creepy as he’d be old enough to be my dad)
3. Fred or George Weasley (it would be such fun being popular for once but it wouldn’t last)
List 2 classes you think you’d excel in:
1. Charms
2. Transfiguration
List 2 classes you think you’d fail:
1. Ancient Runes
2. Flying
What form do you think your Patronus would take?
A dog
What ‘rare’ ability (like Parseltongue, Animgery, or speaking Mermish) would you have?
I have to agree with MrsTater so will quote her answer - “Animagery, so I could stop being human whenever I feel peopled-out.”
What’s in your wand?
Beech, 9 inches, dragon heartstring
The Wizengamot is thinking of exiling you from the Wizarding world. What’s your defense?
I’m innocent? I don’t know accept it because the muggle world is ok and learn wandless magic or pick up a new unregistered wand in Knockturn.
In what way do you think you’d not fit in the Wizarding world?
I have common sense. Seriously, look at Deathly Hallows escape from Privet Drive, could they draw anymore attention to themselves? Honestly no logic.
If Dumbledore’s Army was illegally re-formed but necessary for keeping Hogwarts safe, would you join?
I wouldn’t want to as it was against the rules but I would like to think I would rise above that. Mind you it wouldn’t be very good for self preservation. Maybe my Slytherin side would kick in and I’d find a less obvious way to beat the bad guys.
What illegal magical object would you find most useful?
A second wand? I don’t know I don’t really do illegal. I’d love an invisibility cloak though.
Say you were Sorted into Slytherin, and as a result, you began getting a bad rep for no reason. What do you say?
Try the logical argument (see Ron Weasley cat fight) but I’d probably just keep my head down and try and be friendly and wait for people to see they were wrong about me.
Is this how the Death Eaters started? Are they not evil, just alienated and misunderstood?
Maybe it’s what drove a few in that direction. That’s one thing HP annoys me about, how the baddies are 2D. But ultimately you can’t blame being evil and torture and murder or a bad childhood or prejudice.
Would you have participated in the Final Battle if given the option?
I think that having a final battle at all was stupid of both the good guys and the bad guys. Honestly, that’s not how it should work for people with common sense. Again though, to answer, I’d like to think I would but not sure if I actually would. If I did I’d be like that girl Ginny found saying they wanted their mum.
Who would you have dueled and won against?
I would have dueled with anyone who was firing at me and then shot curses at other baddies if I wasn’t having to protect myself first. I’d like to get Bellatrix and Dolohov because I wanted Remus and Tonks to live as they are my favourite characters. Also Greyback because he’s so evil to children.
Any advice to real wizards and witches out there from a Muggle perspective?
Magic isn’t the only solution. Have a little common sense.
