1. You are given a test at school that has questions that teacher hasn't covered yet. In the middle of the test you notice that your friend next to you has a cheat-sheet. The teacher doesn't notice. What do you do? I keep to myself or depending on who it is. Then after class ask them why they had it and tell them they need to tell the teacher so they can retake it.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it? Earn the money.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks) I think he is awesome. I think he has a great personality, he loyal, a great friend, and you can always count on him.

5. You have just returned home from a long day's work when an acquaintance calls you and explains that they are stranded on a back road an hour drive from town and they need you to pick them up. They've already tried everyone else and you are their only means of getting back. What do you do? Go get them, and help them out.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why. That i am unique, that i am me. And thats because im not like everyone else, i can related but never the same. And least would be that im short. Because im always around tall people and get trampled on.
7. What qualities do you admire in others? Friendship, sensitivity, loyalty, trustworthy, bravery
8. A little kid accuses you, in front of a whole crowd people, of stealing his toy which you did not do. You are twice his size, but he won't back off. How do you handle this situation? Stand up for myself. Tell him that i didnt take his toy and that i dont even no what it looks like.
9. What are you afraid of and why? i am afraid of Spiders. Because you cant really tell that they are there. when you are asleep and they bite you, you wont no about it, and some can be very poisonis.
10. Pick one of the seven sins (greed, envy, wrath, lust [err okay exclude this one], sloth, gluttony, pride) that you suffer from most. Explain why. sloth. i can be very lazy at times, and not get out of bed, not wantin to do anything when i no i have to, i tell myself that i will, but never do.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why? Psycologist at ChildHelp USA, because i want to be able to help battered kids.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why? Tyra Banks because she gives gives and gives but never expects anything in return.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life? To find my true love, meet Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, to help my friends, family, and...everyone
14. Your friend is throwing an awesome party, but your sister's play is on the same day. Your sister's play starts at 7 PM and your friend's bash starts at the same time. Both events end at 10 PM. It is impossible to attend one and then the other. Which one do you attend? My sisters play. Because "blood is thicker than water" in other words, my family is always going to be there, but my friends may not.
15. What cause would you devote yourself to (e.g. Save the Whales, Tsunami Relief, Humane Society, nothing I don't really care, Give lots of money and tell everyone so I get lots of credit.)? An orphanage or ChildHelp USA
16. A friend of yours tells you that there is some really cool stuff in an old abandoned building. When you get there you see a sign that "Danger: Do not enter!", but the building doesn't look dangerous. There is nobody around to see you, and your friend wants to check it out. What's your next step? Go in. (I would be very curious.) and check it out.
17. Five years ago a girl stole some money from you and she never got in trouble for it. Since then, she has become a much better person. Recently she has been arrested for stealing, but you can prove that she is innocent. What do you do? the only thing morally right to do. prove it.
18. Which perception is more annoying to you, a person who thinks they're better than others because he/she did the "right" thing (he/she returned the 20 dollars the cashier mistakenly gave him/her as change) or a person who thinks he/she is superior because of circumstance( he/she has a lot of money and donated 10 thousand dollars to a charity, receiving praise from the media)? The person who he/she is superior
19. You're heading down a street when you smell smoke- A house is on fire! What do you do? (You cannot use magic, as this is supposed to be a real-life scenario.) Call 911 and then try to see if anyones in the house, then go in after them.
1. I wouldn't tell on my friend first off. I'd answer the questions the best I know how, and if I came across an extremely difficult one, I'd steal a glance over at the cheat sheet for the answer.
2. Save up my money until I have enough to buy it.
3. I think Harry's been through a lot in his life. He's experienced traumas that not many other kids have dealt with, and I respect his character for that. What I really like about him is that even though he's been through so much, he still has the ability to love. He's kind and caring to those who would be considered "dorks" or "nerds" in our society, and actually befriends them. Even if his friends and peers get annoyed with them, he doesn't drop those people or make fun of them to please someone else. Standing up to your peers is hard enough, but standing up to your true friends takes pure courage.
4. I most relate to Remus's character. I see him as a quite person, but extremely intelligent. He knows what he's talking about, and doesn't stretch or change the truth to please others. Those characteristics match mine very well.
5. I'd go pick them up, afterall, I'd hate for that to happen to me and them lie to me.
6. I most admire my intelligence. In our world today, that's something we desperatly need to be sucessful. That's why being smart is so important to me, and I don't just throw it away. The characteristic that I least like about myself is my shyness. Sometimes I wish I could come out of my shell and be more out-going with the people around me. Being shy has its advantages sometimes, but being out-going is something I wish I was more of.
7. I really admire those who are outgoing and fun to be around. They have no problem walking up to a complete stranger and making an akward situation fun. I really respect people who can hold their tongue when they need to, yet stand up for themselves or what they believe in when the time is right without fear of what others think.
8. I'd tell him that I didn't steal his toy, hold up my hands and empty my pockets to show him that I truely didn't, then walk off.
9. I fear rejection from my friends and people with respectable opinions. I also fear failure, and what people will say if I do fail at something.
10. I'd have to say envy. I'm not really jealous of a lot of things, but certain things that other people possess I wish I had myself. The main thing is a boyfriend. I see couples together all the time, and when I look at them, I find myself saying that I wish I had one myself.
11. My dream job is a sucessful doctor who specializes in one area. My goal is to become one one day.
12. I admire one of my really close friends a lot. She tells people the bitter and hard truth without holding back, even if the person is her friend. She's also having a tough time at school and at home where her mum doesn't listen and believe her, and the principals at our school are the same way. She's been biting her tongue and not lashing out at them even when she gets extremely impatient. And all that's really hard for her to do, so I admire her for that.
13. I want to grow up and be really sucessful in my work area, and have a loving family. I want close and true friends to help me through hard times in life.
14. It depends on how important the events are to each of them. Like if my sister's been complaining about the play, or it's something very important to my friend, I'd go to the bash. But if it's important to my sister, and my friend's party is for no reason, the play is where I'd go.
15. And aids thing. No one deserves to have something like that.
16. I'd go explore with my friend. But if I see stuff outta place that could hurt us, I'd leave and take my friend with me.
17. Prove that she's innocent. It's not fair to her to go to prison for something she didn't do. Even if she did steal money from me, I would forgive her, but not forget it.
18. A person who thinks he/she is superior because of circumstance( he/she has a lot of money and donated 10 thousand dollars to a charity, receiving praise from the media), would irritate me the most. People give what they can give. If that person can donate 10 thousand dollars good for them. The equivilant for others may be one hundred dollars, and they don't brag.
19. I'd call 911, and yell fire, fire to get the neighbors to help out. I'd help out the best of my ability.

Dearest GreenGred, I am so sorry! I guess that is what can happen when there are 16 people to sort! I had you sorted, I just forgot to get it in my reply! Good thing I keep notes!
GreenGred--You are for Gryffindor!
Courageous and stalwart, sensible and fun, you are willing to risk yourself when others are in danger, yet are not given to rash actions unless in real need. You are also a sweet, forgiving sort of person!
crazymaniacgirl--Welcome to Gryffindor!
Despite your sensible outlook, you still know how to have fun. You love friends and hate feeling alone or lonely. You family comes first, then friends, but you will even help strangers in need. Yay you!
amorentia--You are for Gryffindor!
You are an original thinker--I've never seen a reply to the kid and lost toy like yours--it cracked me up! You love animals and want to see them happy. You have a fun streak of mischief--you will be great running with the lions!
kbielby--You are a bright Gryffindor!
You make time to help others, and are willing to work hard for what you want, without expecting other people to provide for your whims. You are strong and capable person, brave and true. I was very very sorry to hear about what happened to your mother--I am so glad you had your grandma there for you.
ex-magic--Thou art Slytherin!
Not an evil person at all, but you love a good prank and have a real mischievous streak! What also makes you a Slytherin is your cunning--you are the first person I've seen who found a practical way to go to the party and still see the play! Most people try to go to half of one, half of the other, which is against the rules--you do both and come out smelling like a rose! Ack! You are one snake that won't be on a plane if you can help it!
half blood prince is great--Welcome to Slytherin!
You are very artful and are very good at delegating tasks you don't want to do, or are not interested in, to others. Your family loyalty is paramount, as it is to all good Slytherins--family first! You are a lot of fun to have as a friend because of your mischievous nature.
Oh, and since I'm pretty sure you'll read this--I needed to let you know we don't allow netspeak in the forums, as many of our contributors don't have English as a first language and it's hard to decipher--it's fine for the chatrooms though.
Annael--You're a heavenly Hufflepuff!
Only the nicest people are allowed into this fine House. You are a true and loyal freind and family member. You can be sarcastic but it is usually only under stress. In Hufflepuff you will be accepted for the fine person you are, and their friendship will help with your confidence.
xtina_malfoy_f--You are for Slytherin!
Though I do feel you tried a bit too hard to get into this House (we can always tell! ), nevertheless it is the place for you!
foureyesmiling--It was a toss-up, but the hat chooses you for Ravenclaw!
Studious and hard-working, wise and caring, you don't want just any career--but one which will bring reknown. You are very interested in leaving this world a better place than you found it, and Ravelclaw will show you the way!
Killian--Definitely Gryffindor material here!
You are loyal and true, yet have a mischievous streak! You are willing to help people in need and go beyond what is expected. You believe a life without daring is a lost life--your courage will take you far. Run with the lions, my roaring friend!
MelloYello--You are indeed a Ravenclaw!
Sorry for the wait, but I also run a business full-time and have to pay the rent! This is for fun and gets done once a day. You are studious and hard-working. Honest and fair, you don't like to make waves. You know who you are and what you want and you don't need the cheers of the crowd to feed your confidence--it comes from within. Very cool!
trumpet90210--A definite Ravenclaw!
You work hard for what you get and don't understand how anyone could be content to just slide by. You can't abide cheaters! Helpful and courteous, you have courage as well, but your true love is learning. Like many Ravenclaws, you have problems with envy, but that is what sets the eagles apart and makes them strive for the sky!
Mariah Loves Harry--You already took this quiz on the 12th--so I assume you've been sorted?
HPChic--A Sweet Ravenclaw!
You are intelligent and have what it takes to be a success, not just materially, but in your soul! You will find a way to make a real difference in this world! You will love Ravenclaw, and your fellow eagles will love you--in this House is an understanding of your special nature.
And that's everyone! Please note that sortings are not done twice, and trying to sneak another one in is not only very naughty, it's against the rules and you will probably be struck about the face and neck with a wet noodle if I catch you doing it! Any questions? Please send an owl my way--comments left here will be deleted without response.
I hope you all enjoy your placements and go 'round to the Lounge forum and introduce yourselves on your House threads--but remember, you are free to post in any of them!
2.Ask my mom and dad for it or wait till I get a job.
3.I think that he is a boy who has to struggle through alot of problems and situations even though at this age he is probably not ready to take it all together but he is still trying his best.not as a hero but as a normal boy ignoring his scar and especialaties.
4.I really like the character of Hagrid and proffesor Lupin too,but most of all its hagrid because even though he looks like a scary giant but his heart is as soft as a normal person's is.
5.I would go and help them probably because I'm now the only one who could help them.
6.The thing a like about myself is that I'm a girl who loves to play and loves to share secrets,because most of my friends at this age act really mature,even though they are not! The thing I don't like about myself is that I get annoyed and frustrated really really fast!

8.Well, that would be really annoying and if I'm front of everyone I would just try and prove that i did not do that or walk away!

10.Greed,I don't really know why but because I like the things other people have.

14.My friends party ofcourse!I can make up with my sister again,but making up with a friends is harder you know!
15.Humane society
16.I'll go back home!Won't ever enter the building without my friends.

. You are given a test at school that has questions that teacher hasn't covered yet. In the middle of the test you notice that your friend next to you has a cheat-sheet. The teacher doesn't notice. What do you do? [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#3366FF]Ignore the friend's cheat sheet. If the teacher hasn't covered the questions yet, where did this cheat sheet come from? I am suspicious, and also annoyed that my friend is cheating. Fill out the test to the best of my ability.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it? I save every Knut that comes my way, and I volunteer to do odd jobs to fill my vault at Gringotts until I have the amount I need.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks) I think thatHarry has a very remarkable outlook on life, considering how he was raised by the Dursleys. Many Muggles parented by the Dursleys would have been ready for the shrink's couch, seriously alcoholic or drug-addicted, or a career criminal. Harry is none of the above. He grew up thinking he was a nobody, nothing special, and it turns out that in the Wizard world, he's the most famous person in that realm, yet it doesn't go to his head. He's kind, loyal, funny, and someone I'd love to have in my own life.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why? Hagrid. He's had his trials and tribulations, and has not turned into an evil, bitter half-giant. When he's sent to Azkaban and kicked out of Hogwarts, it was due to prejudice and circumstatial evidence. I also had an "absent" mother (due to mental illness that cripples her to this day), and an extrodinarily kind father. He loves his beasties (as do I), and he's very funny.
5. You have just returned home from a long day's work when an acquaintance calls you and explains that they are stranded on a back road an hour drive from town and they need you to pick them up. They've already tried everyone else and you are their only means of getting back. What do you do? I go get them and expect nothing in return.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why. II like that I am an artist and can thus see unusual things in daily life that go unnoticed by others. I dislike that I am a procrastinator, because it means I waste an awful lot of valuable time.
7. What qualities do you admire in others? A wry sense of humor, tolerance for those whose opinions differ from their own, respect for the other person's god or goddess within, intelligence, and tact.
8. A little kid accuses you, in front of a whole crowd people, of stealing his toy which you did not do. You are twice his size, but he won't back off. How do you handle this situation? Walk away. There's no reason to stay around and listen to insanity.
9. What are you afraid of and why? Heights. I'm afraid of falling.
10. Pick one of the seven sins (greed, envy, wrath, lust [err okay exclude this one], sloth, gluttony, pride) that you suffer from most. Explain why. Sloth. I'm ridiculously easy to distract with malaise.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why? The most famous artist in the world. I could make all the money I need to make the art I want. i wouldn't have to have a job that I hate to pay the bills and then come up with the energy to be creative in my "spare" time.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why? Dr. Seuss. For his literary and artistic imagination.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life? To become a successful artist. To travel to England and visit all of the Harry Potter sites. To be wife and a mother.
14. Your friend is throwing an awesome party, but your sister's play is on the same day. Your sister's play starts at 7 PM and your friend's bash starts at the same time. Both events end at 10 PM. It is impossible to attend one and then the other. Which one do you attend? My sister's play.
15. What cause would you devote yourself to (e.g. Save the Whales, Tsunami Relief, Humane Society, nothing I don't really care, Give lots of money and tell everyone so I get lots of credit.)? A Cure for AIDS, and respectful, humane care for those afflicted.
16. A friend of yours tells you that there is some really cool stuff in an old abandoned building. When you get there you see a sign that "Danger: Do not enter!", but the building doesn't look dangerous. There is nobody around to see you, and your friend wants to check it out. What's your next step? I check it out, but am on alert for whatever the Danger is. The sign is there for a reason, but my curiosity would get the better of me.
17. Five years ago a girl stole some money from you and she never got in trouble for it. Since then, she has become a much better person. Recently she has been arrested for stealing, but you can prove that she is innocent. What do you do? I prove that she is innocent this time.
18. Which perception is more annoying to you, a person who thinks they're better than others because he/she did the "right" thing (he/she returned the 20 dollars the cashier mistakenly gave him/her as change) or a person who thinks he/she is superior because of circumstance( he/she has a lot of money and donated 10 thousand dollars to a charity, receiving praise from the media)? Anyone who thinks they're superior for ANY reason is vile to me. One who did the "right" thing, I guess.
19. You're heading down a street when you smell smoke- A house is on fire! What do you do? (You cannot use magic, as this is supposed to be a real-life scenario.) Call 911, then see if there's anything I can do to help before the fire dept. comes.
First, thank you for your help in advance. I thought this was a great quiz. It took me two days to fill out! I had to think a lot about the answers; I don't generally delve that deeply into my own mind. Anyway, here are my answers:
1. I would be internally shocked at my friend, and fairly disappointed, but likely would not tell on them. I would finish my test with all my own work, and speak to the teacher after the test to see if s/he would consider dropping those un-covered questions all together. I would also speak to my friend about the importance of honesty; it's not just for school; employers rarely like it when you present other people's work as your own...
2. Start saving up my money.
3. I think he's a foolish little boy, generally with far too much angst for his own good. He's touted as this great bastion of love, yet he holds vicious grudges, sometimes with little or no provocation, and is very good at speaking harshly when a gentle word would have saved him a great deal of trouble (i.e. with Draco and/or Snape). He can be praised for high ideals and dedication to certain friends and individuals (such as Dumbledore), but generally seem to be a typical emotionally immature young teenager.
4. Possibly Minerva McGonagall. She’s very intelligent, hard-working, powerful, and commanding. I’m short, but when I want attention, I can easily command the room with almost no effort. People, including guys much taller and sometimes older than I am think I’m fairly terrifying, even when I don’t think I’m doing anything intimidating. I’m also very fair, and loyal to those I respect. I don’t have very many close friends, but the ones I do have, I would do nearly anything to protect. I get a great deal of respect from people who know me, as well as from those who don’t.
5. I would pick them up (if I had a car, which I don’t *smirk*). I have been in this situation more than once, and I know what it feels like to call the last possible person on your list of potential curbside rescuers.
6. I like my intelligence/logical mind most, I suppose; I’m very blessed by that, and it’s served me well for many years (I’ve about to graduate college soon). It helps me in my job and in my relationships. I like least the fact that I have a terrible time saying “no” to demands on my time, when I don’t have any left to give. I end up agreeing to everything everyone else needs, and somehow forgetting that I need to eat and sleep…
7. Intelligence, honesty, a good (and generally twisted) sense of humor, along with respectful behavior toward myself and others. I also admire a sense of purpose and a responsibility toward one’s own actions. While it’s not always admirable, I do appreciate those who can gracefully/skillfully ignore certain authorities and completely get away with it.
8. I would grab the person nearest me, tell them the exact contents of my backpack and pockets, and then have them look for themselves to prove that I didn’t have whatever the kid was claiming I took. Then I would walk away. If a parent was present, I would admonish them for failing to teach their kid to not be a liar.
9. I am afraid of nearly nothing; the only thing that frightens me is that something terrible might happen to those I care about, and I would not be able to stop it. Death, pain, scary creatures, etc. really don’t worry me at all… I think zombies are kind of cute, actually…they just need love…
10. Um, let’s pick gluttony, particularly when it comes to chocolate. I definitely exercise and stuff like that, but I have no self-control when it comes to chocolate in any form (not white, though; that’s fake chocolate). It doesn’t help that I’m a fantastic cook/baker, and I can keep myself supplied with a constant flow of tasty goods. Of course, when I feel bad about it, I just offer some to my friends. At least I’m not greedy… *Ha*
11. Well, I’m an anthropology major, so I would love to work on an archaeological dig in Egypt, or in the Mayan regions of Central/South America. I’ve also wanted to be a forensic pathologist (cutting up dead people for the police) or a mortician. They all involve dead people, it’s just a matter of the age of the corpse…fresh, or a couple thousand years… *grin*
12. I admire Isaac Asimov. Not only did he basically found the science fiction genre as we know it (and yes, I know there were others equally skilled, but the man was prolific…), and lay the groundwork for nearly everyone’s conception of what a robot/android should be, he was also amazingly brilliant, with multiple fields of expertise. He wrote scholarly essays on so many subjects, and has been quoted and his ideas used in so many places (including Star Trek). Also, while he writes marvelous heroes, he also writes villains a girl can fall in love with, like the Mule. *grins* ‘Course, so did Orson Scott Card (Peter is the coolest redeemed villain EVER!) I love brilliant people who can also write fantastically.
13. To graduate college with an honor’s degree, and as close to a 4.0 as possible. To have a job that I enjoy and can support myself with and then to eventually get married to a spiffy guy and have at least one kid, but not too many. I’m not all that patient; two would probably be my limit… I’m also planning to rule the world. My friends actually call me Her Lordship sometimes (note the feminine pronoun and the masculine title), and I have several positions filled in my army, actually under written contract (if you doubt me, I will e-mail you the form they fill out to join). You’d be surprised at the rights they’ve signed away to me, “including, but not limited to, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
14. Since when do I have a sister?! My parents never told me that! Oh, well, supposing I did: I’d probably go to the play. Not just out of some family sense of honor, but because I do like plays, and if it was my sister, she’d have to do an awesome job, because I would have likely been helping her out at home, and I’d want to encourage such thespian inklings. I’d tell my friend to take lots of pictures to show me later, though.
15. Um…becoming a not-quite-evil overlord? Well, since I would have to start that myself, and I’m not really sure that’s what you meant… I’m not really sure. I’m not the campaigning type; I give money randomly, where I see a need at a particular moment. Possibly I would campaign for easier and cheaper adoptions, since I can’t have children of my own.
16. I’d slap them upside the head for being stupid, and bodily remove them from the scene. I’d also know if they went back (seriously), and I would not be pleased.
17. Prove that she’s innocent. I’m all for the legal system working properly, and unless we’re talking about a brutal murderer who can only be put in prison if he’s convicted on trumped up fraud charges, I don’t think she should be punished for something she didn’t do. Besides, her stealing money from me is between the two of us, and frankly, I’d already have dealt with that. I might consider asking for an apology/amends in return for helping her out, though.
18. The first, as the same person likely turns right around and spitefully criticizes someone they don’t like. Morality in times like that seems to very subjective, and not often related to a person’s actual character.
19. Whip out my cell phone and call the fire department, as well as making a lot of noise to make sure anyone inside the house is alerted to its status as kindling-in-progress.

Welcome, welcome!!! Let the Sorting ceremony begin...
Nawal: You're a perfect HUFFLEPUFF, and should be proud of it! Your soul is full of warmness and consideration for other people's feelings. You're able to forgive and to help, and you don't like aggressivity. Your friends and family are your force and you rely on them. You're honest and you're willing to work hard -or to wait- to reach your goals.
!mugglemary!: You have very interesting characteristics: creativity, a positive attitude towards the world, a need for a special place in the world, warmness and bravery (and a bit of sloth, yes!). Welcome to GRYFFINDOR!
EriChanHime: Welcome to RAVENCLAW! What emerged from your answers was a strong predominance of intellect and a certain contempt for feelings and emotions, which you seem to regard mostly as human weaknesses. You are pretty concentrated on your plans and projects, and you seem to possess the necessary patience and self control to obtain what you desire. At the same time you are logical and wise enough to consider the people around you a necessary complement to your life.

¨¨°*¤§ Magic, only when necessary; hard work, always §¤*°¨¨
1. I know I should probably report the friend, but likely I would simply do my own work and never say a word to the teacher, then bring it up to the friend after class.
2. First I go through any old items I no longer need and sell them (trade in old brooms, etc). I hate keeping things I don't find useful. Then I'd seek out ways to earn the extra money.
3. Harry had a tough early childhood, of course he has encountered plenty of adversity during his adolescence, but given his natural talents, I think he will end up a very successful and influential wizard.
4. Slughorn. Though I'm far younger than him, I can appreciate the he way he seems to have always leveraged OTHERS talents for his own gain (in addition to his own). It's not as if he uses people to their own detriments, but he is able to use people very effectively for mutual gain. That's savvy.
5. I've been on the other end of this before (being stranded myself), so if it were a close friend, I would certainly make the trip myself. If it were a mere acquaintance, I would probably just call them a cab.
6. Like Most: My intelligence. I like always knowing the answers, and using my intelligence to do well in school, work, and (hopefully) life. Like least: My current income.
7. What qualities do you admire in others? I admire those who are better at their jobs (or passions) than I could ever be. For instance, I've always admired JKR because I know that I simply don't have the talent for writing she does, and no matter how much I tried, I could never have created the HP Universe. I admire great musicians and artists for the same reason. I tend to think very linearly and logically, and I don't have much of the creative side.
8. Look around for someone who can arbitrate the dispute and lend credence to my argument of "I didn't do it". I would look for a police officer, professor, or other authority figure to settle the dispute publicly.
9. Mostly I'm afraid of failure. I've always valued being admired as the smartest or best in certain areas, and I depend (too much) on how others perceive me.
10. My first instinct is greed, but likely it is my own pride that drives my greed. I want to have the best of everything, but a big reason for that is that I want others to see me as the best. So pride is my final answer.
11. Ferrari Test driver (dario benucci is the current one). I love driving, and Ferraris are my favorite cars. To be paid to drive Ferraris would be like living in a dream world.
12. Fred Smith is the founder and CEO of FederalExpress. He founded the company in my hometown of Memphis, TN. He has run the company since he first founded it over 30 years ago and has always exercised great judgement along with untouchable ethics.
13. 1. Have a happy family 2. Raise successful children. 3. Own a Ferrari
14. My sister's play.
15. At the moment the only cause I'm dedicated to is my own. I see dedicating my own efforts to others as a luxury I haven't yet earned.
16. I wouldn't go! I'm always creeped out by abandoned buildings and such.
17. I would arrange to talk to her in private and set up a quid pro quo exchange. I want to repaid in exchange for testifying of her innocence. I would probably give the evidence anyway, but I'd try to get my money back out of it somehow.
18. Definitely the person who thinks themselves superior because of circumstances beyond their control. This is probably hypocrisy on my part, though, since I pride myself on intelligence that I was born with
19. Call 911. If I was the first on the scene, I would check it out from a safe distance. I doubt I would go inside and risk my life without knowing for certain that I would be saving someone elses.
1. You are given a test at school that has questions that teacher hasn't covered yet. In the middle of the test you notice that your friend next to you has a cheat-sheet. The teacher doesn't notice. What do you do? catch your friends eye and have them turn it so you can look at it too. 2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it? Wait till I get enough money and buy it. 3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks) He is the hero so eveyone has a connection with him. At times it annoys me that he does not do what is logical. I do admire his bravery though.4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why? I am a mix of Luna and Draco. I am quite a dreamer and people definetly would call me loony if my name was luna. I also relate to draco because if I do not like you, I can be very cruel to you. I also love to get what I want. 5. You have just returned home from a long day's work when an acquaintance calls you and explains that they are stranded on a back road an hour drive from town and they need you to pick them up. They've already tried everyone else and you are their only means of getting back. What do you do? I would sigh, but go and pick them up, and end up having a great time with them. 6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why. [color=#33FF33]I like how I am creative and athletic, and I like how no one knows who I really am inside. I don't like how I do not think about somethig before I say it or do it. 7. What qualities do you admire in others? I admire loyalty, kindness, friendliness, but I HATE it when people are goody-two-shoes. 8. A little kid accuses you, in front of a whole crowd people, of stealing his toy which you did not do. You are twice his size, but he won't back off. How do you handle this situation? I would defend myself, but if he doe not leave me alone I would just walk away. 9. What are you afraid of and why? My deepest feas are heights, and having no friends and/or love. I honestly have no idea why I fear these things. 10. Pick one of the seven sins (greed, envy, wrath, lust [err okay exclude this one], sloth, gluttony, pride) that you suffer from most. Explain why. Pride or envy. I love myself and always believe that I deserve the best. I also tend to have the green eyes monster when someone compliments someone else but not me, I also want things that others have. 11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why? A writer. It is a creative job and ever since I was very young I would create little stories in my head and write them down. It has always been a life long dream. 12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why? For the non-HP person I admire would have to be my best friend. She is outgoing, fun, crazy and everyone loves her. Plus, she puts up with my secretiveness , she always gets stuff out of me.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life? To find my true love(corny I know), always stay best friends with my bestest bud, and become a famous author. 14. Your friend is throwing an awesome party, but your sister's play is on the same day. Your sister's play starts at 7 PM and your friend's bash starts at the same time. Both events end at 10 PM. It is impossible to attend one and then the other. Which one do you attend? I would go to my friends party, friends are the most important thing in my life(for me) 15. What cause would you devote yourself to (e.g. Save the Whales, Tsunami Relief, Humane Society, nothing I don't really care, Give lots of money and tell everyone so I get lots of credit.)? I would give to Breast Cancer resarch, my grandma is a proud survivor , or The Richstone Center. It is a place in my county for abused women and children. 16. A friend of yours tells you that there is some really cool stuff in an old abandoned building. When you get there you see a sign that "Danger: Do not enter!", but the building doesn't look dangerous. There is nobody around to see you, and your friend wants to check it out. What's your next step? I would go and check it out with them, not because they wanted to, but because my curiosity always gets the better of me. 17. Five years ago a girl stole some money from you and she never got in trouble for it. Since then, she has become a much better person. Recently she has been arrested for stealing, but you can prove that she is innocent. What do you do? I would prove that she is innocent. She would owe me so I would make her pay me back. 18. Which perception is more annoying to you, a person who thinks they're better than others because he/she did the "right" thing (he/she returned the 20 dollars the cashier mistakenly gave him/her as change) or a person who thinks he/she is superior because of circumstance( he/she has a lot of money and donated 10 thousand dollars to a charity, receiving praise from the media)? A person who thinks they are better than others because they did the right thing. 19. You're heading down a street when you smell smoke- A house is on fire! What do you do? (You cannot use magic, as this is supposed to be a real-life scenario.) Call the fire department, if I heard cries for help I would go in there myself and try to help.
1. --- Do my own test WITHOUT a cheat sheet. I'll mention the questions to the teacher after and tell him/her that we didn't cover it and it wouldn't be fair for them to count because theres no way we could of known.
2. ---Ask around the market if someone needs any favors done in exchange for some $. It helps out me and the person im doing the favor for.
3. ---I think he's articulate, very caring and considerate.
4.---Ginny-- She's been takin advantage of, as have i, but also like me, she's grown stronger from it. Ginny has a soft, more quiet personality like me but she is also strong and compasionate, also like me.

7.---honesty,trust,loyalty is what makes a true friend. other good qualities are a good sense of humor, optimistic, wholesome.
8. ---Talk to his parent, fighting with a kid is pointless. I'd talk to his parent or guardian about the situation and resolve it as fast as possible since everyone is watching.
9. ---i'm afraid of giving up. i'm afraid of not knowing. i want to be able to live a long life and learn as much as possible. i'm not afraid of bugs or anything like that, i just want to be safe and happy. loss of those is what scares me most.
10. ---Pride i suppose. I pride myself in everything i do.

15. ---ASPCA- all the way!!
16. ---Thats not safe!!!! i'd tell my friend to get out of there before i end up haveing to call the hospital.

19. You're heading down a street when you smell smoke- A house is on fire! What do you do? (You cannot use magic, as this is supposed to be a real-life scenario.)[/color]
1. You are given a test at school that has questions that teacher hasn't covered yet. In the middle of the test you notice that your friend next to you has a cheat-sheet. The teacher doesn't notice. What do you do?
Uh... Def. ask if he can at least help me. Not give me answers, just somehow help me when he’s done. I'm really smart, but sometimes I am such a bad test taker. But if it's hopeless for me anyway I wouldn't do a thing. I'd just be upset he got a higher grade than I did. But I might go to the teacher after the test and beg them to curve the grade. Because if we honestly did not cover it in class, homework, or it wasn't in the chapter we were reading, we should def. get a curve. But I don't understand, how would he have a cheat sheet if we didn't cover it in class? Where would be get the information.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
I've defitnelly stolen before i'm not going to lie, but I think in Diagon Alley, I would be too afraid to get arrested or not be able to go back to my school.
[color=#006600] 3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
Actually I do sometimes think he is kind of a show off, and thinks he's too good for some people. It seems like he judges too quickly. But he's really a kind, generous, person. Who just needs people to realize that he's growing up, and he should be told the truth about everything.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
Sadly to say, probably Oliver. I'm so obsessed with my sport, softball and volleyball. When I was named captain, I would call secret practices with out our coach just to make sure we were fresh and ready for anything. And I'm really nice and sweet, but I have this thing for not really caring about people and their feelings when it comes to my sport. As long as we do our best, that’s all I ask for. I can't stand it when the girls on my team are so obsessed with their boyfriends, or stuff like that. I have so much trouble with boys, and with my parents it's hard. But my sports are the things that keep me focused. Plus I push people to their limits.
5. You have just returned home from a long day's work when an acquaintance calls you and explains that they are stranded on a back road an hour drive from town and they need you to pick them up. They've already tried everyone else and you are their only means of getting back. What do you do?
I would def. go pick them up. I would always hope they would do the same for me, and I'm kind of a people pleaser.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
Like Most: Probably my intelligence, and the fact that I'm a real people person also the fact that I seem to have this gift to make people laugh, oh and I'm really good at giving advice. SO many people come to me all the time. You either love me or hate me, and a lot of people follow me. I'm kind of the leader of my clique.
Like least. Probably the fact that every guy I've ever liked always turns out to be some spoiled jerk. I just want to find a "bad boy" who has a soft side. Ha-ha just like all those spin-offs on quizilla, and mugglenet, and harrypotterfanfiction sites. Oh and the fact that I def. don't get along with my parents. I hate that about myself. Plus I'm always disappointing them, and always making them so upset. And I think I have an arguing button. That just turns on if someone is trying to disagree with me.
7. What qualities do you admire in others?
Honesty, courage, and probably love. If you can't love, then there is no point in living.
8. A little kid accuses you, in front of a whole crowd people, of stealing his toy which you did not do. You are twice his size, but he won't back off. How do you handle this situation?
I go down to his level, eye to eye, and tell him one more time. "Sweetie I promise you I did not steal your toy, but I will certainly help you look for it." And if he still does not believe me, I might go out and buy him another of what ever was stolen. Because talking to parents is hopeless half the time. They just argue with you, and will get upset with you for no reason.
9. What are you afraid of and why?
Probably disappointing my dad the most and my aunt. My aunt is practically my mom. I don't really know who my mother is. And I don’t like my step-mom.
10. Pick one of the seven sins (greed, envy, wrath, lust [err okay exclude this one], sloth, gluttony, pride) that you suffer from most. Explain why.
Either Pride or Envy. I'm so full of pride I can never ask for money when I need it, or I never ask my parents for anything. Or just with people I won't tell them the truth because I'm so afraid of what they might think of me. And Envy because I hate it when families look so happy, and my family is so dysfunctional.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
To be a photographer. I honestly don't really know, but it was the first thing that popped in my head. I want to travel the world, I want to see every corner of this world and take photographs of it. It's most certainly one of the things that I love doing. I wouldn't mind being a famous one too so I could have money to support a family.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?
My dad, he's been through so much, my step-mom having leukemia, when my real mom left him while he was still in the navy. Plus I’m always messing up. Like when I stole hundreds of dollars of stuff, and when I give him attitude and the fact that I hate my step-mom and they've been together for 8 years now.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life?
To become the best mother I can be, to have children that make all the other children jealous. And to be in love when I marry. And to have the job that makes me happy in my life. Even if it doesn't make me rich or anything like that.
14. Your friend is throwing an awesome party, but your sister's play is on the same day. Your sister's play starts at 7 PM and your friend's bash starts at the same time. Both events end at 10 PM. It is impossible to attend one and then the other. Which one do you attend?
My sister's play hands down. My family means a lot to me, and there will def. be other parties that I'd be invited to.
15. What cause would you devote yourself to (e.g. save the Whales, Tsunami Relief, and Humane Society, nothing I don't really care, give lots of money and tell everyone so I get lots of credit.)?
Actually, I devote myself to the Leukemia and Lymphoma society since my step-mom has it. I always give toys and money for Toys for tots too.
16. A friend of yours tells you that there is some really cool stuff in an old abandoned building. When you get there you see a sign that "Danger: Do not enter!", but the building doesn't look dangerous. There is nobody around to see you, and your friend wants to check it out. What's your next step?
Check it out. I've always done stuff like that even when I was younger. I've got a naughty nature about me, supposedly. If it’s dangerous when I actually get in there, I’d split but besides that I’d stick it out, and check everything out.
17. Five years ago a girl stole some money from you and she never got in trouble for it. Since then, she has become a much better person. Recently she has been arrested for stealing, but you can prove that she is innocent. What do you do?
Prove she is innocent, justice must be served, and revenge though very sweet, isn't always the best way to go. I've stolen stuff, and the only reason I got out of it was because I was sweet, nice, and very truthful. I didn't lie about what I had done. Plus IT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO, I would have probably forgot about it by then.
18. Which perception is more annoying to you, a person who thinks they're better than others because he/she did the "right" thing (he/she returned the 20 dollars the cashier mistakenly gave him/her as change) or a person who thinks he/she is superior because of circumstance (he/she has a lot of money and donated 10 thousand dollars to a charity, receiving praise from the media)?
The person who thinks they're better than others because they did the right thing, the other type of kid really can't help it if their parents are rich, and that is the way they were raised. The other people are just jerks who think they are better than others, when people are like that they chose to be like that. Their parents didn’t raise them like that, for the most part anyways.
19. You're heading down a street when you smell smoke- A house is on fire! What do you do? (You cannot use magic, as this is supposed to be a real-life scenario.)
Call 911. Rush to the nearest house, and call 911, then get everyone in the house out, and make sure they are alright. I'd be so scared, I guess I would hope I would do the right thing, but knowing me I really don't know. Hopefully I would have a cell phone on me so I wouldn’t have to go anywhere. So then I could run in there to save anyone if I was brave enough.
1. You are given a test at school that has questions that teacher hasn't covered yet. In the middle of the test you notice that your friend next to you has a cheat-sheet. The teacher doesn't notice. What do you do? Make sure to point this fact out to the teacher, but answer them to the best of my ability. I usually like to read ahead, so hopefully I might know some of the answers already.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it? Save my money until I know I can afford it.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks) I think he's very brave: he gets tossed into all these terrifying situations and still comes out for the better. Some of that might be based on luck, but mostly I think it's because he has a good head on his shoulders.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why? This is tough.. But I'd have to say Ginny. Mainly because she's so strong-willed, and she's able to put up with a lot of nonsense from her brothers
5. You have just returned home from a long day's work when an acquaintance calls you and explains that they are stranded on a back road an hour drive from town and they need you to pick them up. They've already tried everyone else and you are their only means of getting back. What do you do? Of course I would go pick them up. How would I feel if I were in that situation? I would definitely want someone to help me out. If there was no way I could get there, I would find a number for a good towing company and give it to them.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why. I most like my outgoing personality because it makes it easier for me to make friends, and I move around a lot so that is very helpful. I least like my lack of patience. I'm very impatient and can sometimes have a short temper, and they sometimes get the best of me.
7. What qualities do you admire in others? I admire people who can make others laugh.
8. A little kid accuses you, in front of a whole crowd people, of stealing his toy which you did not do. You are twice his size, but he won't back off. How do you handle this situation? Knowing me, I would probably get very frustrated and yell (unfortunately).
9. What are you afraid of and why? Im terrified of losing my loved ones because, as much as I try to be "independent", I still need them.
10. Pick one of the seven sins (greed, envy, wrath, lust [err okay exclude this one], sloth, gluttony, pride) that you suffer from most. Explain why. If any, I would have to say pride. Not like I want to admit it, but there you are. I don't want people to look down on me.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why? I would absolutely love to be a wedding planner. I love weddings, and I love planning things, so why not combine the two? If not a wedding planner, then I definitely want to work for the FBI or something cool and detective-y like that. They're all very interesting.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why? One of my professors from last semester. She was very very smart, and just had a very respectable air about her.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life? I want to finish school and have a good job. I would also like to travel (which I've already done some of) and someday have a family. And battling evil would be pretty cool too, but I'm not sure how realistic that is.
14. Your friend is throwing an awesome party, but your sister's play is on the same day. Your sister's play starts at 7 PM and your friend's bash starts at the same time. Both events end at 10 PM. It is impossible to attend one and then the other. Which one do you attend? My sister's play. Friends may come and go, but you're pretty much stuck with your family for life. Also, I'm sure I could get the details about the party from the friend.
15. What cause would you devote yourself to (e.g. Save the Whales, Tsunami Relief, Humane Society, nothing I don't really care, Give lots of money and tell everyone so I get lots of credit.)? Cancer Research, and maybe also AIDS research.
16. A friend of yours tells you that there is some really cool stuff in an old abandoned building. When you get there you see a sign that "Danger: Do not enter!", but the building doesn't look dangerous. There is nobody around to see you, and your friend wants to check it out. What's your next step? Go in, obviously. I'm way too curious to walk away. How does this friend know there's cool stuff in there if they haven't been in to check it out yet? Or are we even talking about the same friend here?
17. Five years ago a girl stole some money from you and she never got in trouble for it. Since then, she has become a much better person. Recently she has been arrested for stealing, but you can prove that she is innocent. What do you do? If I can prove she's innocent, then I will. Why hold a grudge for something that happened so long ago if she's clearly become a better person?
18. Which perception is more annoying to you, a person who thinks they're better than others because he/she did the "right" thing (he/she returned the 20 dollars the cashier mistakenly gave him/her as change) or a person who thinks he/she is superior because of circumstance( he/she has a lot of money and donated 10 thousand dollars to a charity, receiving praise from the media)? The latter. The first person did do the right thing, so they have a right to be happy about it (to an extent). And also to an extent, they have a stronger character because they did do the right thing. But the second person is probably just donating to get attention from the media, which is the complete wrong reason.
19. You're heading down a street when you smell smoke- A house is on fire! What do you do? (You cannot use magic, as this is supposed to be a real-life scenario.) Call 911 immediately, and stay at the scene to make sure that any people there are ok.
