ask my parents as a birthday r christmas gift if its close. if not save my own money.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
he is a great character. pretty much a flawless hero he is brave, kind, loyal, modest, basically anything you can ask for out of a person.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
probably ginny because i am pretty headstrong and i can have a bit of a temper sometimes but i am also funny and athletic.
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 go pick them up of course.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
i like that i am loyal to my friends and i make people laugh. i don't like that i can have pretty bad mood swings sometimes and i tend to cause trouble more often than i should.

good sense of humor, very outgoing, and loyal
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?
tell him i didn't steal it but i would help him look for it if he wants
9. What are you afraid of and why?
snakes, the death of a loved one, and failure.
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.
probably either wrath or pride. wrath because i can be quite hot headed sometimes and pride because i sometimes think a little too highly of myself
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
either a jet pilot or a musician.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?
my sister. she is an extremely hard worker in everything she does she is very generous and very loyal and she always makes me laugh.

play college basketball, graduate college, then become either a jet pilot in the air force or move to california and live on the beach and play in a band.
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 and have my parents tape my sister's play

anything with animal rights.
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 definitely go 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?
i would prove that she was innocent and in return she can pay me back over 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)?
option 2 would annoy me more because material possessions are so overrated in life. but option 1 is a tad annoying just by the fact that that person would feel superior about doing it. you shouldn't need people to tell you how great you are for doing the right thing you should just do it.
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.)
i would call the fire department and then do whatever i could to help get people out

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?
Try and answer the question on my own first. If I don't know them and it is because the teacher is quizzing me on material he/she never taught us, then I borrow the cheat sheet to get the correct answers. I don't want to do the wrong thing, but it I shouldn't suffer bad marks for a professors mistake.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
Save up those spare bits of knuts and sickles till I have enough!
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
I think he embodies all the qualities that people should strive for - he's moral and selfess. For a child, that is extremely impressive. From age 11 he had a firmer head on his shoulders and more wisdom than most adults. On top of that, he is uncommonly strong and brave. What he lacks in academic acheivements, he makes up for in good judgement, character, frienship and a near perfect grasp on right and wrong. The cherry is that he is so likeable because of he is involuntarily funny and frequently witty and overall the kind of guy you'd want by your side growing up.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
I would definitly say Luna. From the moment she was introduced...she is such a free spirit and uses her mind to it's full extent, never limiting her thoughts to any restrictions.
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 and pick them up. I would hope they would do the same for me if I needed it.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
My sense of humor is what I like best. I like to think I make people laugh alot, and no matter what the situation is, I can see the humor in it. What I like least about myself...I guess I can tend to be rather bossy and I know it frustrates people.
7. What qualities do you admire in others?
Sense of humor, honesty, loyalty is a huge one and lastly a complete lack of narrow mindedness.
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?
Find his parents!
9. What are you afraid of and why?
Time and change. I don't like goodbyes or when good things change, and I think with each passing year things in life become less and less simple...and I like simple.
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.
I hate to admit it but I would have to say Envy. I've always felt extremely unsatisfied with life and I am only 23....ever since I was around 10 and became a passionate reader, I've felt jealous of the characters in the books that were off on fantastic adventures, or in breathtaking romances, or living in magical places. The more I read, the more mundane and empty my life looks. I think I turn to reading alot as an escape from my own life. Apart from fictional characters, I've always dreamed of belonging to a differnt culture, or living in some other exotic places, or having some exciting talent. I think thats a big subconscious reason why I don't want to get married or have kids or have any ties and commitments....i'm waiting for my prince charming to show up on my doorstep, or the ring of power to come to ;] OR my letter from Hogwarts??
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
Being an author. I love fictional stories, and I can't imagine my life if I hadn't had books. I would love to someday be able to publish books and have strangers be in love with the world and the people I created.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?
Anne Boleyn. I don't know why, but for years I have been strangely drawn to her. She is such a mystery, and thats a huge part of her appeal. She was one woman, who had (sadly unknown) qualtiies about her that were either genuinly special, supernaturally cunning, or a dangerous mix, and those qualities alone were enough to catch the eye of a King, lead him to divorce his beloved wife of almost 20 years, reform an entire countries religion, and end with an explosion of passion so great that the on;y way he could handle loosing her was to cut off her head. I don't know what she was like or what she did or didn't do, but I know it must have been out of this world and the curiosity and history behind it really interests me.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life?
To travel as much as I can. I want to sip tea in England, meditate in India, explore nature and wildelife in Africa, and everything in between. There is so much Earth and not enough Heather. That, and fall in love and have a partner for life, write and publish books, have lots of cats, never be stuck in a mundane, meaningless 9-5 job, and always be helpful to someone or some cause.
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, of course. Parites happen all the time, and family is family.
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.)?
Save the Whales. I am a HUGE animal lover...
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'd want to go in, but i'd use my instinct and judgment first. If it clearly looks dangerous or like it would end in trouble, I wouldn't. But if it didn't look dangerous, I'd go in.
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 she is innocent and I have proof, i'd give the proof. I believe STRONGLY in paying for what you do, but not if you are innocent. She shouldn't pay for something she didn't do because she is judged for what she HAS done.
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)?
Someone who thinks they are better than you because of circumstance. At least the other person did the right thing on purpose, even if it did go to their head. The other kind of person does good things for their own benefit. Circumstance doesn't make you a better person, it's the choices you make.
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.)

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?
Take a gander at some of the answers I really have no clue about, but try to do most of the test on my own.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
save up. if it's that cool, it's probably too big to steal. plus, the more expensive something is, the more severe the legal punishment.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
Harry Potter is a good person, in that he's typically willing to put others in front of himself, and his loyalty is extreme. But his hero complex sometimes irritates me...I know, that may seem ungrateful, since his hero complex saved both the wizarding world and muggles alike, but after awhile it just seems predictable and a little bit annoying. (I know, I know...Voldemort capitalized on this.) But overall, I respect Harry Potter and think he's a good person.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
Probably Luna Lovegood, as she's just a little bit out there. She's different from everyone else, and she's obviously very intelligent. But also Blaise Zabini, because he knows a lot of people, but he doesn't necessarily get involved in everything his friends do (for instance, he's friends with the more Death Eater-oriented students, but he seems to have no interest in partaking himself.)
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?
Pick them up, however begrudgingly. I would feel too bad to get any sleep at all, so I would sort of have to pick them up, but I wouldn't really want to.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
What I like about myself is my humor, my intelligence, and the fact that I'm a little different from most people. What I like least about myself is that I'm vengeful, and can be a little spiteful. I'm cynical, too, and I consider that a negative.
7. What qualities do you admire in others?
Loyalty, intelligence without being pretentious, and wit.
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?
Ignore him, and walk away. I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I have to listen to anyone yammer about it?
9. What are you afraid of and why?
I'm afraid of silence, because when it's completely silent it feels like anything could happen. Silence lends a sort of static tension to any atmosphere.
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.
Gluttony. When I want something, I typically can't say no to it, and in excessive amounts usually. This ranges with anything from literature, to a television show, to ice cream.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
I want to be a journalist, because I love to write, I love to research, I love to travel, and I love to learn.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?
I know it's not technically non-HP, but I admire J. K. Rowling. She created an entire world in her mind, and created a phenomenon the entire "muggle" community adopted and fell in love with. Even if that weren't the case...the sheer number of details she invented is incredible. Along the lines of Douglas Adams.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life?
I just want to be happy. I know it's not really specific, but I'm not sure yet...I just want to be happy with where I am, always.
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. There'll always be another party, honestly. Besides, no good parties start at 7 PM anyway.
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 probably give lots of money and not ask for credit. But, yeah, to a cause like Save Darfur or the Humane Society. If I were to actually do hands on work, something in Africa.
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?
Through the door?
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 it, if I've got nothing better to do. Afterwards, ask for my money 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)?
The one who thinks they're better because they did the right thing. People who feel superior because of circumstance tend to be less obnoxious about it.
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, wait for the fire trucks to arrive. If the door is unobstructed by fire, open it and call to see if anyone is inside. Possibly enter the house, depending on the situation.
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?
Keep working on my test and do the best I can do. After the test I would confront my friend and urge them to come clean with the teacher.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
Get a job.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
He's a nice boy who would most likely make a great friend.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
Luna. She marches to the beat of her own drum and doesn't care what other people think.
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?
Pick them up.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
I like that I'm deliberative and loyal. It may take me a bit to make up my mind, but once I do, I follow through. I least like that I'm shy with new people. It can appear as if I'm trying to avoid others.
7. What qualities do you admire in others?
Loyalty and generosity are high on my list.
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?
Offer to help the child find his toy.
9. What are you afraid of and why?
Making the wrong decision. I don't like failing.
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. I have trouble asking for help even when I really need it.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
Teacher. It gives me great joy to assist others in learning and achieving their goals.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?

My friends party. My family is already taping the play and I'll get to watch it with her the next day.
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.)?
Giving parents of disabled children time away while providing a safe and fun environment for the 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?
Suggest grabbing a latte at the local coffee shop.
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?
Help her out. People can change and deserve a 2nd chance.
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)?
No one is better than another. In both cases I would feel sorry for the person for needing to find a way to feel "better" than another.
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 and try to see if there are people in the house. If there are people inside, try to get them out.

Let the Sorting ceremony begin!
thenemesis ~
Gryffindor: You are a mixture of other Houses as well, but the Sorting Hat feels you'd be better in Gryffindor. You are brave, but also humorous whenever you feel like it. You'd cheat just a little bit, but you wouldn't copy the whole cheat-sheet. You set priorities in your life, and you're clever. Just pay attention to your cynicism.
Eve ~
Hufflepuff: You are loyal and kind. You have many good qualities. You like sharing your wisdom with others, but you tend to be shy sometimes. You never make quick decisions, because you want to be as successful at whatever you do. Don't be afraid to open up.
Will Gryffindor ~
Slytherin: You don't have lots of patience. You like things to be fair, which would lead you to revealing the cheatsheet to your teacher, even if this would put your friend in trouble. You are clever and you think quickly. But you need to trust more people and be less absolute as to what is right and wrong.
Now that you have been sorted, you can visit your Common Rooms:
Gryffindor,
Hufflepuff, and
Slytherin.
Please, keep in mind
the Rules! Remember to participate in our very own
VTM House Cup to make your House proud!
The Sorting results are final. However, if you do have a question, let me know via Owl!
Happy posting!

I would probably go with my friend. As Serious Black said 'Whats life without a little risk?'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 help try to prove she is innocent by bringing up old things from the past that have made her 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)?
It is more annoying to me when a person thinks they are better than others because they did the right thing19. 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.)
I take out my cell phone and call 911

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 wouldn't look at it during the test unless I was completely clueless as to what the answer may be. And if I did use it, I would only use it on the queston I needed the most help with. Afterwards I would compare the answers on the sheet with the ones i wrote down. I would tell my friend that I was disappointed in them for having the sheet, but they're my friend. I couldn't geet them in trouble. 2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
I would save up money for it. Plus I would use that as a convnient time to politeley ask all of my friends that i loaned money to (which is quite a few people) to please pay me back.3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
He seems like a pretty down to earth guy for being "the chosen one." He seems to care about other people's safety quite a bit. For example instead of leaving everyone to their own defenses he taught people how to better protect themselves by creating the DA.4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
Hmmm... that's a very tough question seeing as I'm always compared to Hermione because I'm a huge over-achiever and academics just come naturally to me. I'd have to say Ginny because I always love to be in on the action, but I don't want to be the center of attention.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?
Hmmm... if it's just an acquaintance I would happily go and pick them up becuase I wouldn't want to sound mean or standoffish, but if it was my good friend I would pick them up and I would jokingly make fun of them.6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
The thing that I like most about myself is that I consider myself to be a very nice person and people tend to come to me for comfort. The thing I like least about myself is probably my "uptightness". I do love to have fun but I am the type who will talk themselves out of going on a rollercoaster because it might crash, or derail, etc. etc. I tend to overthink things until I scare myself. I need to learn how to let loose.
7. What qualities do you admire in others?
I like people who are loud, energetic, upbeat, and fun becuase we tend to balance eachother out and they push me out of my comfort zone.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 show them my pockets, purse, whatever it takes for them to believe me and not the obnoxios lying kid.
9. What are you afraid of and why?
I am afraid of becoming distant with my good friends because I'm the type of person who feeds off the energy of other people and if i go a long time without my friends I'm generally pretty... bored.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.
I'm ashamed to say it but envy. I am normally not envious of people, but when I am I tend to go wayyyyy overboard.11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
I would love to be a professional photographer. I love taking pictures. I will take pictures of anything whether I'm at a party and I'm getting pictures of my friends and I goofing around or I'm at home and take pictures of flowers.12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?
I have to say Jane Goodall. Her story inspires me because I love animals so much.13. What are some of your ambitions in life?
I want to just be as happy as I can be and have fun in life.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?
Well, if they really were my friend they would understand that I couldn't come to the party and not be mad about it. So, probably the play just beacuse she's my sister.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.)?
Definitely the ASPCA. I have a love for animals and their voices need to be heard.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?
LOL. I definitely wouldn't go in. I figure if the sign says danger there's probably a valid reason why.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 defend her. The stealing was in the past. She's a good person now.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)?
circumstance19. 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.)
I would call 911. And while waiting for them to arrive I would see if there was anything I could do to help without being stupid and wreckless.Thank you so much for doing this!

I would go and get them.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.

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'd yell at him, and I'd yell to the crowd of people that I didn't take his toy.
9. What are you afraid of and why?
I'm afraid of getting old, because I might not be able to do things that I liked to do when I was younger. I consider that a difficult change to get used to, and that's scary.
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.
Greed, because I never share any of my belongings with anyone, and I'm always wanting something else, something new, even if it's out of my reach.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
band photography, because I would love to go on tour with bands and take photos of them, and have their photos everywhere around the world.

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?

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.)?
Humane Society, definitely. I would do anything to help animals.

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 into the house loudly, running, screaming.
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 try to defend her.

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)?
I find the person who thinks they're better than others because they did the "right" thing more annoying.
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.)
If I have a cell phone, I'd call 911. If I didn't, then I'd go knock on someone's house and tell them to call 911.

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?
Don't say anything. Not my business and I'm not going to rat out my friend. That's low. I might look at an answer or two.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
]Save up. I work over the summer.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
An exceptionally brave person who has a big heart. Sure he can be naive but most are at a young age.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
Probably Sirius. He's daring and dangerous. I love adventure. Plus he's easy to talk to which I like to think I am also.
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 and get them of course. And no I'm not just saying. I'd never leave someone stranded out on a back road. Thats ridiculous.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
I'm not really judgmental. I put myself in others situations before judging them. So it makes me easy to talk to or come to with problems.
The thing i like least is my temper. I get a temper with people who are rude to me when i should probably just shake it off.
7. What qualities do you admire in others?
I love a person who can just shake things off that bothers them. Not like they're bottling it up just that they don't mind. I've never had that quality myself, though.
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?
Ask him where the proof is and walk away.
9. What are you afraid of and why?
Loosing family members. I've spent way too much time worrying about my family and their safety. Loosing one of them would be unbearable.
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.
Possibly envy. But although I can be envious of my friends and peers I don't let it show most of the time.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
Actress. I love being able to study a different character and look into their life and understand their actions. Its like taking a break from your own life and being someone else.

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.)?
Probably an animal shelter or some sort of animal rescue organization. I love animals.
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'll probably realize there is some danger that we can't detect so i most likely wouldnt go in
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. People should be given a second chance who deserve 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)?

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?
Normally I memorize my answers before said exam, but if it was particualrly difficult I would make my way through the test as best as I could. If a question stumped me and the cheat sheet happened to be in the perfect position to view the correct answer, then I'd happily receive a little help. Sure cheating is wrong, but one has to beat the system somehow.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
If I want it THAT bad, then I WILL have it. Eventually, anyway. If the dealer cannot be talked down, I will earn the money to pay for said item. Stealing is for underclass kleptomaniacs.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
Harry Potter is habitually whiny. I do believe we could get on quite well, though. His naivety amuses me sometimes, but we generally want the same things. Just not in the same way.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
I relate most to Severus Snape. Even though he makes dire mistakes, he will try to make up for them. And unknowingly, at that. I hate being obvious about admitting mistakes. I am too proud. We both also share being fastidious. It's all about detail.
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?
Acquaintance? So they only call me when they need something? How do they know my number, anyway? If we hit it off but never got in touch again then I would consider going to get them. But if it was just a "Hi, nice to meet you" kind of deal then sorry, I'm busy.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
My answer for these questions is the same. It is a gift as well as a curse, as far as I am concerned. I display minimal emotion. In a very stressful situation, my face does not show an ounce of discomfort. This can be used as a weapon of sorts, in it's own way. I have a feeling I would excell at occlumency.
7. What qualities do you admire in others?
I admire determination and the ability to manipulate. Bad as that may sound, I think it's a great weapon to have.
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 sit this kid down and explain why a seventeen year old would not want a child's toy. It's only logical that he misplaced his toy and his own underdeveloped psychoanalysis taught his mind to accuse the nearest person. I tell him this and find the toy to prove it.
9. What are you afraid of and why?
I am afraid of a Brutus/Ceasar confrontation. Betrayal is the lowest thing in the world. It infuriates me to no end, and that is exactly why it scares me.
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 is my downfall. Or strength? I find it hardest of all to admit when I am wrong. And if I am, I will put things right "behind the scenes". But I honestly don't find that I AM wrong most of the time...
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
My dream profession is one I am in the process of pursuing now. Psychology is my passion. I love getting to know how any different person thinks as compared to the norm. I also like to help people with their problems, mainly adolescents. I find that I can relate and in turn, learn more about myself.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?
I admire my pcychology professor, Kathleen Thornton. She is entirely self-sufficient and knows pretty much everything. Obviously that is an exaggeration, but her head certainly holds a vast amount of knowledge.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life?
I wish to travel to foreign countries and be successful in my career. I want to marry early and raise my children with strong morals and great ambitions.
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?
If this is such an awesome party, then why does it end at ten? Family first, I have to say. Chances are that the party isn't that great anyway. Another party will come along soon, I'm sure.
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.)?
ASPCA. In other words, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
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?
Those signs are put up like hands at a rock concert. As long as we don't try anything ignorant, I'm sure we will be fine. Let's have a look!
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?
How do I know she is a much better person? If she stole from me then I wouldn't be still hanging around with her. She's probably secretly the same as she ever was. And hey! Who am I to impose?
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)?
Generally, both are annoying, but I'd have to say circumstance. It's like, "Okay, big deal! I could have been born into riches myself, but I wasn't! You're still a person and for all I care, just another sheep in the herd."
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.)
Honestly, no one has noticed before me? If not I'd call the fire department. Hopefully no one died.

Well I wouldn't say anything and just leave it at that and wouldnt even bring up with the friend.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
Well I would save up the money so that I could buy the thing I wanted.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)

4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
Remus Lupin, I say this because when he was in school him and his friends were a group of well adventurers and rule breakers but he was the kind of guy who would cause the trouble with the group but also had the ability to stop them from going to far and that is how I am with my friends.
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?
Well I would gladly go pick them up even though they are only an acquaintance maybe with this I can get to knw them better and be good friends.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.

I admire people you are brave, loyal, trustworthy and dont care about what other people think about them.[b]

9. What are you afraid of and why?
Well I would have to say getting too distant from my family members and then it being to late to get back closer.

I would have to say be successful in my career and and grow up and have a nice family with a beautiful wife and kids.
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 attend my sisters play because she may never be in a play but there will always be another party.
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.)?

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 definately go for it and enter I always like an adventure
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?
Well I would help her out everyone deserves a second chance.
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)?

Sort me please!
1. Ignore the classmate with the cheat-sheet and do the best I can with the test. Upon turning it in, I would let the teacher know there were subjects we did not cover on the test and that he should evaluate accordingly.
2. Attempt to barter or trade up for it.
3. Harry is a very smart and powerful wizard who has a tragic history. However he gets full of himself at times, thinking he can take on anything by himself, instead of putting together a team or soliciting others help to accomplish a goal. His heart is pure but his mind can be his downfall at times.
4. Snape because he does what he feels is the right thing but never gets the benefit of the doubt. He is pulled in many directions and has many personal desires, but always does what he sees is best for everyone around him, even if it makes him look like the bad guy (which typically happens). He is also very intelligent and cunning and knows it and is not afraid to show it.
5. Pick them up but make them buy you dinner.
6. Most: my intelligence, determination and fearlessness to take on anything I set my mind to. I strive to know and understand everything. Least: Sometimes I jump from one thing to another, or one mood to another quickly. Sometimes this causes me to lose sight of a goal and I require "re-motivation" so to speak. However once that happens, my determined side takes over and I can accomplish anything.
7. Intelligence, common sense, fearlessness, wit, humor.
8. Tell him to prove it and that until he can he should not make false accusations.
9. Death because it is the end of everything I cherish and a void of nothingness for eternity.
10. Envy because I am always wanting something more or something that somebody else has...what I have is never enough it seems.
11. President of the United States because I will be in a position to listen to peoples problems and compose real solutions for them based on their input and what I feel is the proper direction to a resolution. The position would also allow me to have immense power, which I would use for some personal gain, but mainly to help others and make the world a better place.
12. Sarah Palin because she does what she feels is right for those who put her where she is, and doesnt apologize for anything that she does.
13. To acquire wealth and power, infinite knowledge in all areas, and change the world.
14. Sisters play.
15. Education and exploratory studies...I believe in empowering people to choose their own destiny in life.
16. Go in and check it out. Remember your wand!
17. Prove she is innocent and when she is let go, remind her of the debt she owes you.
18. Someone who thinks they're better because they did the right thing.
19. Run to the house and see how you can help without endangering yourself.

Jul 15 2009, 06:07 PM
1. I ignore the cheat sheet and finish the test to the best of my ability, but talk to my friend after the test about cheating.
2. I don't. I mean magic can only go so far. But I do admit, when i want something i want it. I might(mistakenly) return something that is actually important so that i could have money for this.
3. His heart is just filled with goodness. Considering EVERYTHING he has been through he has never turned to the wrong side or even really resented his place in the wizarding world. He's not perfect and he knows it. He's never really had all of this "The boy who lived" and "the chosen one" stuff go to his head. I'd be really lucky to have him as a friend. Admittedly he does think he has to do everything by himself, but he knows that he's not the best wizard out there and he relies on Ron and Hermione for help because he knows he needs it.
4. Luna. I mean im not completely insane and quirky like she is, but I am a little odd and very honest. I'm also very loyal to my friends.
5. I go pick them up. I mean I'm not going to just leave them stranded. If i had something important to do or work, then I'd try calling one of my friends to go pick them up(assuming they hadn't already called them)
6. I like my sense of humor. I feel like I can make someone laugh most of the time. I have a pretty bubbly personality too and I don't know...I just like to laugh. And I like to make other people laugh.
I feel like I overthink things though. Like I'm worried about what other people think a lot of the time, which I don't like.
7. A good sense of humor, loyalty, kindness
8. i would tell him to back off, i didnt steal his stupid toy. I would ask him why he thought I did and where his proof was. Also, what would I want with a little kid's toy?
9. I'm afraid of dying. Like Dumbledore said "People fear the unknown when they look upon death and darkness, nothing more" I fear the unknown.
10. ehh i guess i suffer from envy the most. I feel like i look at people and I envy their looks, their money, their friends a lot. It makes me feel really sick sometimes how much i envy people.
11. I have no clue what I want to do with my life yet.
12.can it be another character from another book? because i admire Bridget from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. She's so ambitious and driven...A lot of the things I do are due to inspiration from her.
But honestly, in real life, i don't really have a role model. maybe i should get on that...
13. i want to travel the world. I want to do something that helps people, something that will actually make a difference. I want to live in a big city in a crappy apartment and eat ramen noodles 5 times a week. xD I really just want some thrill and adventure in my life. I want to live a really full life.
14. I guess I'd just go to my sister's stupid play because then I'd feel guilty about it and not even enjoy the party. But I'd resent it.
15. I would donate to those one charities where you sponser kids who don't have any money and can't go to school and stuff. Yanno like PlanUSA and Christian Children's Fund. I'd sponser like a bunch of kids if i had a lot of money. And if I didn't I'd just sponser one kid.
16. I'd go in probably just out of curiosity but proceed with caution.
17. If she never apologized I would probably WANT to just ignore it, but then I'd have guilt gut or nightmares or whatever so I suppose I would help her out...show her that I am the better person.
18. A person who thinks they're better because of circumstance. I hate that.
19. Well if somebody hasn't called 911 then i would. but i assume i'm not the only one who has noticed this fire so honestly I'd probably just stand there and watch. I mean it would be all heroic and whatnot to go into the building and save someone, but thats just downright dangerous and stupid.

1. If they were my friend, I wouldn't do anything, obviously. Except maybe laugh at them. They did go through the trouble of making a cheat-sheet, after all. Although, none of my friends would actually need cheat-sheets...
2. Lust after it until I forget about it. Or take money from the best bank in the world--my fathers bank.
3. He's very noble, and although he may make some stupid decisions, I admire him very much.
4. Ginny Weasley, for, like me, she always speaks her mind, she's bold, and very outspoken.
5. Groan. Sigh. Then go pick them up.
6. What I like most about myself is my cleverness and creativity, and my ability to break out of the staus quo and be unique. What I like least about myself is my quick temper, impatience, and sometimes I can be a bit selfish--which I absolutely loathe about myself.
7. I admire a person who will stand tall and never back down when faced with a situation--somebody who is brave, and always sticks to their own opinion no matter the circumstance.
8. Tell the little twit you did not steal his bloody toy, then search for the unfortunate parents and tell them to control their child.
9. I'm afraid of time. It can pass by so quickly, and it's never constant--you never know how much time you have on earth, in a moment, etc.
10. Although I am very proud, and I tend to be envious often, I suffer mostly from wrath. I am easily angered, and once I am, my adrenaline starts pumping, and there is no stopping me. I am not violent in a physical way whatsoever, let's just say you wouldn't want to cross me when I'm mad. (:
11. To be an actress. I love to act, and I can tend to be a bit of a drama-queen at times, but really, I just love to be on a stage in front of people who are all watching me perform.
12. My brother. He can always see through my tough facade, and make me feel better. He knows exactly what makes me tick, but he also know what makes me ecstatic. We have been through so much together, and I love him not only as my brother, but as my best friend.
13. I have many ambitions. Some of them would be to attend a well-known, prestigious universtiy, have a nice family, settle down and take care of my children while being a hard working mom. But if, when I am wrinkled and gray, I have put a very lasting impression on many, many people, and they remember me, and think of me in a positive way, that would be my dearest ambition. To make differences in others lives, just by being myself.
14. Attend my sister's play. Family, in my eyes, always comes first. The party wouldn't be much of a party without me there anyway.
15. Global Warming.
16. I would be the one leading my friend into the building. What's life without a bit (or a lot)of danger?
17. Although my pride and grudge would very much like to see her snuff it in jail, I do believe that people change, so most likely I would prove she's innocent.
18. The person who did the "right" thing is more annoying to me, for although the person who donated the money to the charity only did it for the publicity, they still donated it to the charity, and many people would benefit from the donation.
19. I would see if there was anything I could do to help at the site, for instance, help out someone who was stuck, tend to an injured person, etc. Then call for help. I am a very active person, and I would like to think that I helped in some way before just calling for help and turning the problem over to the authorities.

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 talk to my friend after the test about how I think cheating is unfair. Everyone in the class wasn't prepared for the material that hadn't been covered yet, so it would be ok not to get everything right. I tell my friend that if she or he does it again, I will go to the professor. I also might go to the professor and ask about the questions that had not been covered yet.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
I save up my money until I can afford it, forgoing other things I might want.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
Harry is very brave and fiercely dedicated to his friends and his school.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
Hermione. Definitely. We're exactly alike. I'm the school type, I love to read and do my homework, but I'm also incredibly stubborn. Also, the way she is potrayed in the HBP movie is exactly how I am around people I like.
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 and help them, of course.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
The thing I like the most about myself is that I am able to stick to and hold up my ideals.
The thing I like the least about myself is how shy I am. I feel like I could have so much more fun in life, if I could just come out of my shell.
7. What qualities do you admire in others?
Bravery, intelligence, honesty, being a genuinely good person
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 explain to the kid that I did not take his toy, and direct him to someone who can help him find it.
9. What are you afraid of and why? 2 big things
1. Rejection. I can't imagine falling in love or finding the place you're meant to be, and being pushed away and told its not for you.
2. Failure. I am terrified of not achieving the career goals I have for myself because I feel like its something I can prevent.
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.
Envy. I always can find something of someone else's that I am jealous of.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
I am working towards becoming a veterinarian. I have always wanted to be one. I am passionate about animals, and I want to help them. I know people are passionate about their pets as well, and being a vet just seems the only thing I can see myself doing.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?
My mother. I hope I'm exactly like her when I grow up. She's one of the genuinely good people I know.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life?
I want to fall in love and find my soulmate. I want to fulfill my career dreams (see above), and I want to live happily ever after.
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 attend my sister's play. She's worked hard and long hours. My friend will understand that I can't go, and since its a party, my friend will want to mingle with people besides me anyway.
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.)?
The Society for the Protection against the Cruelty to animals. I volunteer at our local shelter 15 hours a week. I know how much those animals need, and I am passionate about it.
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 refuse to go inside and tell my friend to leave.
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?
Hand over the proof. She's innocent.
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 donated the money to charity. I feel like they only donated the money for the attention.
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.)
I dial 911, and get help immediately. While I wait for the fire truck, I survey the building and try and figure out if there is anyone inside.

Hello everyone! I'm sorry if my english is not very correct...here it goes:
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 obviously wouldn't tell the teacher that my friend was cheating and probably I wouldn't ask my friend for the sheet, I tend to be too scared of getting caught cheating. But I would tell the teacher how unfair it is being evaluated about something which wasn't covered yet!
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it? I would save money enough to get it or would just forget about it and try to get something else cheaper and similar to what I wanted.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks) He's a nice guy, smart person, determinate and corageous. But his "heroic complex" sometimes annoys me, he should relax a little...
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why? Hmmmmm....Welll....Hard to say...Maybe Tonks...She is brave and smart and 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 would help them if I could (I find it very hard to say "No" to someone I know).
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.I am used to getting what I want by fighting for it and that's a trait that I like to see in other people, i'm a hardworking person. I also tend to see the best in people and have faith that they do the right thing, if you don't have faith in others you can't have faith in yourself. I don't like the fact that sometimes a dark side of me surfaces and I kinda hold grudges against people who done something bad to me or my family/friends, I find it a little hard to forgive people.
7. What qualities do you admire in others? Honesty, braveness, intelligence, determination, simpathy.
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 laugh at him and tap his head. I obviously don't play with toys and everyone around me would know that.
9. What are you afraid of and why? Failing my exams (because I hate to disappoint myself and my parents, I need to show them I deserve what they are doing for me).
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. Greed: I have high ambitions, I want to be really successful and great at what I do, earn lots of money and have a high social status (it could be worst...).
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why? Veterinarian (i'm at vet school now) because I love animals and their pureness of heart (and also because I tend to be a bit disgusted by sick people who I don't know.). I would also like to be an actress as a side-career because it's fascinating the way some professional actors can get out of themselves and be such different people.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why? Angelina Jolie, she has the means to transmit important messages to the world and to be heard and she uses them to help people who really nead it.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life? Finishing college, getting a PHD, opening my own veterinary clinic, doing theatre as an hobby, being able to help my family and friends whenever they need it, etc...
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?Obviously my sister's play a) because she is my sister, she is family, and family comes first, I can attend parties some other day

I love theatre c) I'm not really that much of a party goer.
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.)? Propably something like WWW or VETAID.
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 probably go for it, I love adventure and a life without a little danger is no life at all.
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? Well, I would have mixed feelings about that. I would probably tell the police that she did use to steal in the past but I would prove that this time she hadn't done 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 first one.
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.) I would call the firefighters.

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'd talk to the friend after class and tell them that even though we didn't learn that material, they should be honest with themselves. I'd tell them to own up to their mistake, but I'd also have a polite conversation with the teacher as to why he/she would give a test on unlearned material.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
I work to earn the money. I'd do well on exams and behave. This might require the use of a few tactics.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
He's brave and loyal to his friends. I applaud him because he sacrificed himself for the wizarding world, and because of that lived. He always puts others before himself, which is my favorite thing about Harry. He chooses to do what's right, not just what is easy.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
Severus Snape. Often times people don't see the real me and they judge me based on who I appear to be. Same with Snape. He was accused of being evil when he was good. He was just a spy. I can very much relate to how Snape feels.
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'd go help them. That is, if I know they're not kidding with me.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
I'm unique and my own person. I don't like that I sometimes feel insecure about my uniqueness.
7. What qualities do you admire in others?
I love people who are noble, loyal, honest, intellectual, and true to who they are.
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 nicely tell the kid that it wasn't me. If he doesn't believe me, I just apologize and get him a new toy or give him something cooler to play with.
9. What are you afraid of and why?
Ladders. I always feel as if I'll lose my balance on one and it will come crashing down.
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. Sometimes I think that certain things like my grades in school and my behavior make me better than my peers, but the truth is that we all are special and have certain strengths and talents. This means that I shouldn't be prideful.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
I'd like to do something invloving philosophy or theology.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?
Gandhi. He worked to be the change he wished to see in the world, and was a positive force. We should all work for this and be world changing peacemakers.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life?
I'd just like to live my life to the fullest through whatever I do.
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. After all, she is my sister.
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.)?
The American Cancer Society. We must find a cure to this dreaded disease.
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'd make sure he/she really wanted to do it, and if he/she did, I'd just wait outside, that way if my friend was in danger, I could help.
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'd prove that she was innocent. She's learned from it and become a better person. Revenge is senseless and gets you nowhere, so I'd help her out.
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)?
I'd say number one. I say this because doing the right thing isn't about getting praise from everyone. It's about doing what's right when no one is looking, when no one praises them. You do it because it's who you are, not because someone will praise you for it.
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.)
I'd call 911, then I'd stay at the scene to be of help if needed.

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?

Getting caught
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.

The party

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'd answer the questions to the best of my ability and ignore the person next to me. I'd rather have a bad grade and know I got it honestly, especially if it was on something the class hadn't done yet.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
Ask the shopkeeper if they could save it for me for a couple of weeks, then do some odd jobs and things like that to save up money for it.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
Really misunderstood and vindicated. Lucky to have the friends he has and veryyyy brave.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
Ginny, I think she's the most down to earth.
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 and get them.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
My ability to make people laugh. I don't like how I over analyse things because it takes the enjoyment out of a situation sometimes.
7. What qualities do you admire in others?
The ability to not take themselves so seriously, intelligence, good sense of humour, not being self absorbed or selfish.
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?
Explain to the child clearly how I couldn't of taken it. If he still persists after that then I'd just walk away and leave him to it - I know I'm in the right.
9. What are you afraid of and why?
Ingrown hairs and needles because I don't like the idea of things piercing my skin. Worms and octopi because they look weird
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.
Gluttony, because I never seem to stop being hungry.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
Research at NASA.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?
I admire loads of people for different reasons; I couldn't choose one person, there's many amazing things people have done that leave me in awe of them.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life?
To go to University and be successful.
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?
Sister's play. Chances are if the friend's party was really good then they'd be more inclined to throw another, so I'd just go to that one.
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.)?
Multiple Sclerosis Society because my mum suffered from it.
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?
If my friend knew there was something inside they must have been inside before, so it couldn't of been that dangerous then. I'd trust them, so I'd go inside, but I wouldn't stay too long.
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 help her out.
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)?
They're equally as annoying to me; if someone does something to make themselves look good or make them feel better about themselves then it's under the wrong intentions.
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 999 immediately then check, without causing harm to myself, to see if anyone was inside.

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 would for the most part ignore it. I definitely would not look at it with my friend and I would not rat her out at the end of the exam.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
-- If I had to I would try and save up for it, or see if I can make a bargain.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
-- I think Harry is a little troubled sometime, but overall I think he's a very courageous person.
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
-- Probably Luna Lovegood because she and I are a little bit 'odd'.
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 see if it would be possible for me to make the drive there, but if not I would referr them to somebody who I know could.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
-- I like the fact that I like to study into things, and that I'm completely honest and patient with people, no matter how rude they are.
What I like least about myself is that sometimes I can be a little bossy over projects, or a know-it-all about certain subjects and can come off as rude.
7. What qualities do you admire in others?
-- I admire intelligence, courage, honesty and the ability to follow your heart.
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 calmly explain to them that I would in no way steal his toy, and what he is saying is not only a lie, but rude.
9. What are you afraid of and why?
-- I'm probably afraid of both death, and losing things. Not material things but things like good friends and things that I know. I am extremely afraid of Alzheimers disease.
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.
-- It would definitely be envy because I find myself wishing that I was as good or better than people at certain things.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
-- I would love to be either a teacher or psychologist because I would love to pass on intelligence and help people at the same time.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?
-- I admire .. don't laugh .. Marilyn Manson and my grade 6 English teacher Mrs. Merritt.
I admire Manson because he is never afraid to be himself no matter how many people accuse him.
And I admire Mrs. Merritt because she formed a close bond with her students and tried to show us that learning things is very exciting. She is probably the reason why I am such an avid reader today.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life?
-- To pass along knowledge, to bring creativity to dull places and to help as many people as I can.
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 attend my friend's party because my sister will always be there to have another one.
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.)?
-- Humane Societ.
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 confront her about the fact that I knew she had stolen money from me, and I was willing to make a deal with her, if I helped her prove her innocence, she would have to return the money she took five years prior.
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 because everyday people devote their lives to causes and the media does not follow them around waiting on them hand and foot. I find it stupid that 'celebrities' get praise for doing something so miniscule.
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.)
-- I would call out to see if anyone was in danger first off, and if they were I would try and see if I could rescue them. If I couldn't I would call the fire department right off, if I could I would do my best to get them out, then call the fire department.

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'd take the test and do my very best to answer the questions, despite the fact that I hadn't been taught the material. After I finished my test, I'd pull the teacher aside and let him or her know that my friend had been cheating. Despite the fact that friends are very important to me, cheating is unacceptable.2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
If I had already had the galleons for it, I'd go to Gringotts, extract the money, and make the purchase. However, if I didn't have the money, I'd start saving for the item until I had enough galleons to make my purchase. I would never think of stealing it. (However, if it was close to my birthday, I'd start hinting to my friends and family that I liked the item. You never know - they might buy the item for me!)3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
I think Harry Potter is very noble. He has the weight of the Wizarding World on his shoulders, and considering his position, he handles himself very well. He's loyal to his friends, trustworthy, and kind. He's also talented when it comes to sports. All in all, he's a very good and kind-hearted individual.4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
I think I related most to Neville Longbottom. Neville was never the most popular person in school, but he has a kind heart. He's true to his friends, and has magical talent, if you take the time to look closely enough. I've never been in the popular crowd, but that fact has never bothered me. I have my close friends, and that's good enough for me.
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 pick them up. Not only does the trip earn you some good karma, but it allows you to spend some time with the acquaintance. Maybe they'll become a better friend because of it!6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
I like that I am kind, funny, and knowledgable. These traits allow me to cooperate with others, and allow me to learn more and then use that knowledge in everyday life. However, I can also be impulsive, which sometimes hurts me when working with others.7. What qualities do you admire in others?
Honesty, loyalty, and kindness. These come first and foremost in my friends.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 explain to the child that I didn't steal his toy. If he still refuses to back off, I'd offer to find the toy for him. If he still doesn't like that idea, I would simply walk away.9. What are you afraid of and why?
I'm afraid of many things, but I think being left alone is my biggest fear. My friends are as close to me as my family, and to be deserted and left to fend for myself is my biggest fear.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.
I believe pride is one of my biggest problems. I don't gloat that much, but when I do, I end up sounding kind-of full of myself. It's something I need to work on.11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
I want to be a lawyer, because I feel that I could help fix problems within the Criminal Justice system. This action, in turn, would help make people's lives better.12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?
I admire the President of the United States. It takes a lot of courage to make such important decisions, knowing at the same time that this action could have a very large, negative repercussion. It also must be very nerve-wracking to hold this position, especially when not everyone likes or agrees with your actions and could possibly want to take action against you because of your movements.13. What are some of your ambitions in life?
My ambitions are to finish my education, then get my dream job (become a lawyer). If I manage to fall in love along the way, that's just another bonus. However, my main goal is to make something of myself.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'll attend my sister's play. Friends are like family, but family is who you turn to when everything else goes wrong. My friends will always throw another party, but my sister will only be in this play once.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.)?
There are many causes that I would devote myself to, such as DARFUR, the World Wildlife Fund, the Humane Society, and many others. Each of these causes are important to me because they represent people who can't represent themselves. I do this out of the kindness of my heart, because I care about the outcome of these situations.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 wouldn't go in. Obviously, the Danger sign was put up for a reason, and even if the sign is a joke, it's better to be safe than sorry. I'd also warn my friend, and try to persuade him or her to not go in either.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 testify to her innocence. True, it wasn't nice that she stole from me. However, that's in the past, and I don't believe that it is right for somebody to be punished for a crime they didn't commit.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 she/he is superior because of circumstance. You should donate money because it makes YOU feel good, not because you expect to be recognized for it.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.)
First, call 911. Get the fire department to arrive. Second, find the house. If there are people outside the house, let them know that help is on the way and offer any assistance that I can. Even if it is simply offering comfort to those who are outside, that is good enough. Every little bit helps. Then, I would stay with the people until help arrived.

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 would stifle a laugh and go back to my work. Afterward I would ask them if they were really that desperate and offer to find an alternative to cheating for the next test. (Like studying together.) I wouldn't want him/her to get caught.
2. You want something really cool from Diagon Alley, but it's VERY expensive. How do you get it?
If it was something I desperately needed, I will see if they have it elsewhere for cheap, but if not, I wouldn't waste my money.
3. What do you think of Harry Potter? (the person, not the series- please refrain from commenting on his looks)
He's a lot like me. We're both stubborn, quick to anger, brave, misunderstood, a little different, relentless, strong willed...
4. Outside of Harry, Ron, or Hermione, what character do you most relate to and why?
Ginny: her passion and strong will.
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'll drive to pick them up.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why.
Most: I'm not a flip-flopper. I stick to my guns. I'm brave. I see the truth. I'm humorous and creative. Least: I'm quick to anger, self-loathing... I feel like I'm my own worst enemy. Sometimes overly-analytical, I find it difficult to relax. I often get paranoid and see the worst in everything and everyone.
7. What qualities do you admire in others?
Their carefree attitude.
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 put a silencing charm on him/her and leave.
9. What are you afraid of and why?
Being weak. Falling apart. Losing sight of what's right. Blah blah blah...
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. It's not that I think I'm better than everyone else, I'm just constantly at war within myself to keep the demons at bay. I strive to keep myself intact.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
Actor/Artist/Writer: The passions that keep me going everyday.
12. Name ONE non-HP person you admire and why?
My best friend. She knows who she is and where she's going, while I'm constantly at war with myself.
13. What are some of your ambitions in life?
Finish writing a novel of my own, explore the world, understand the inter machinations of my mind and the minds of others.
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'd rather see a play anyway. I'm not one for parties.
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.)?
Prevent animal abuse and domestic violence.
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'd probably still go in, cautiously.
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 her innocence, I guess.
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 first one.
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.

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?

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?

The world succumbing to the darkness.
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.
I guess Wrath. I'm fueled by constant rage at the world.
11. What is your real life, non-HP related, dream job and why?
CIA, CSI...

I'd go to the play.

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'd go in. Why not?
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'd prove her innocence. It's what's right after all.
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)?
Neither. They're donating. It's a win-win.
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.)

1. Continue on with the test answering questions as best I can. Depending on the person and the nature of the cheat sheet (is it a couple notes or is it every answer in sequential order) I may tell the teacher during the test. If it is a less severe cheat sheet, I may not tell the teacher, but I will in either case approach the person after class, tell them I noticed they had the sheet and I will turn them in next time regardless, but I will let it slide this time because they may have a viable excuse. I would also approach the teacher and ask why there were questions that we hadn’t covered on the test.
2. I budget my earnings to ensure that I am saving some money at a regular pace. All extra money (things like overtime, or budgeted money not spent) gets saved. Buy it once I have enough money. If it is going fast or is on sale or something, I might consider borrowing money to get it.
3. Well he is the classic hero. He is not the best at school, but he has the “intangibles” that you want in a hero like courage, resourcefulness and things like that. He also has immense passion for family and magic because of his upbringing. He can be a little whinny sometimes (esp book 5), he can lack trust sometimes. He always recovers the trust, but there are occasions where he seems to be quick to forget what people did for him in the past. He is borderline “jock” type, not because of Quidditch but because he is not the brightest or the hardest working but always seems to pull through. He is like the likeable jock in feel-good movies.
4. The first thing that comes to mind is Neville. He is true and loyal to his friends, but he is also quick to defend them. He is forgetful and clumsy, much like myself. I don’t share his love of plants at all however. I also relate a lot to any of the characters when they are protecting things/people, like Moody and Sirius Black, but not necessarily all of the traits associated with those characters.
5. It depends a lot on the person and what is going on, if it’s a friend of a friend I have only met once or twice and I have something very important going on, I will try and help them by calling more people or adjusting my schedule but not give any guarantees. If it’s a friend, even if it’s not a great one, I will go and get them as long as I do not have some extremely dire thing to do otherwise.
6. What do you like most about yourself? Like Least about yourself? Please explain why. I probably like most about myself my sense of humor. I am pretty good at making people laugh, sometimes at my expense, sometimes at their expense, sometimes at nobody’s expense. I am usually most happy when I am in a room full of people just cracking everyone up and everyone is having fun. What I like least about myself is probably when I overanalyze or overlook something in someone. I strive to make sure I notice the “little guy” so when someone does something nice for me and I fail to notice until much later I feel really bad. I also feel bad when I jump to conclusion about what they meant or what they were thinking and I react unfavorably towards them because of it.
7. What qualities do you admire in others? I admire when people stand up for what they believe in, whether they have support or not. It takes a lot of guts to stand alone for something, but I admire when people are sure enough in their beliefs to do it. I also admire people who live fairly in an unfair world. I like people who don’t justify things just because everyone else doing it. That also takes a lot of willpower to be able to take the more difficult path even though the benefits don’t seem tangible.
8. I would try and explain myself, explain why I could not have stolen it, and offer to help him find it. I would do as much as I could to reason with him and resolve the situation. If it is irresolvable or he is not listening, I would walk away calmly, even though I was unable to resolve the situation, I would know that I didn’t steal it so no wrong was done.
9. I am most afraid of regretting my actions or my life. I don’t want to get to my death bed and feel like I wasted my life in some way. I try to live by the philosophy that no matter how bad things get, you can’t regret your decisions if they were the best decision you could have made at the time. It gets tough when better decisions reveal themselves in hindsight, regret is easy to have. I am afraid that I will be overcome with regret if problems begin to build up in my life.
10. I would say Envy is what I suffer from the most. I have a little gluttony, greed and sloth, but I don’t feel they really affect my life or anyone else’s adversely. What I Envy most tends to be people who have something I am working towards that didn’t have to work for it. For instance, if I am saving up for a new car, and some other person got that car or a better one for free for their parents or something, I become envious of them and the car. I would definitely say that what I Envy most is people getting things, or having things work out positively for them or anything like that especially when I had to work for the same thing for just a chance at success.
11. I would say technically it’s a Rock Star, because of the fame and fortune and free lifestyle, plus I also love music, but I don’t think that it is really considered a job. My dream job would probably be Politician. I would like to debate current issues and strive to make my country a better place and ensure that our culture is moving in the right direction. I am not entirely satisfied with the current system, but I would be willing to work for a better one. I just want to go to bed at night knowing I made a difference and the world is becoming a better place.
12. His name is Reed, he was my Scoutmaster in Boy Scouts. He is completely brilliant (he had a half-ride scholarship to MIT for meteorology and had is loans paid off in 5 years) and extremely dedicated to the growth of people around him. He really went the extra mile with each and every person in the troop to make sure they were being the best they could be. I eventually got my Eagle Scout, and I attribute a lot to his passion and attention to ensuring that I was keeping on track while still having a great time. He was the ultimate teacher (for those purposes).
13. I hope to start a family one day. I want to have a great relationship with my wife and have kids that I can raise for my own. I want to provide for them enough support and resources that they can do anything they want (within reason). I also want to help the world progress. I am definitely not like an environmentalist fanatic, and I am not talking about environmental progression, I am more talking about technological and societal progression. I am an engineer in real life, and I want to do my part to see us as a civilization technologically advance. I also want to see our society moving closer towards everyone being happy. I also want to travel a lot, just to see and experience everything the world has to offer.
14. I would go to my sister’s play. First off, what lame party ends at 10? But more in the spirit of the question, my sister will remember me coming to her play long after my friends remember the shenanigans of the party. I will have many more opportunities to party, and missing that one is just an excuse to throw another one. But my sister will only be in this play this one time. It’s important to me to support her.
15. Stopping man-made or man-induced atrocities (genocide, those sort of things). I am a firm believer of preserving human life over animal life, so saving whales is not as important as saving humans. Wars between countries will be natural thing until all of the world can progress beyond stuff like that (if it ever will), but genocide is not war. I would devote myself to stopping it, and not in the sense of giving money or aid to the victims, but actually helping to stop it. I would be active in stopping the group in power either through negotiations or even force if necessary. Once the genocide is over I will leave it to the money/aid givers to help the victims and move on to the next one.
16. Well first I would make sure we are well equipped to be exploring around, having flashlights, phones, those sort of things. I would analyze the situation as best as possible, and proceed with caution into the house. I would try to identify why the house was dangerous, and work around it if possible. If we needed something else (rope), I would leave and come back and try again. If something just didn’t feel right, I would probably leave, and think of a way around it and possibly come back later.
17. I would testify on her behalf to prove her innocence. If she is innocent for what she is being accused of, she deserves to be freed of it. Punishing her for this does not justify her theft from long ago. And since turning over a new leaf, I suspect she has more trust now for people, and betraying that trust will more than likely cause her to go back to her old way. I can settle for discussing her past theft at some other time, but punishing her now doesn’t solve anything.
18. Without a doubt someone who thinks they are better because of circumstance. Someone who brags about doing the right thing will get praise for it, and crave that praise so they will continue to do good. I will settle for giving them praise, especially because I think a little praise is deserved in light of a good deed. It really bugs me when people think highly of something they didn’t earn. They are essentially the same case as the first scenario, but they didn’t even do the initial good to be expecting praise. It’s not that I don’t think it’s fair or anything for someone to be given stuff, but it’s when they think they are superior because of it that really bugs me. Often times I find myself being more judgmental of a person like that’s mistakes, and giving them less consideration and lenience with things because of their attitude about what they have been given.
19. Call for help (911), no matter what the circumstances, I won’t be able to do much without help. I would then assess the situation, are there people who got out of the house, are they all accounted for. If there is nobody out of the house I would try to determine if people were still in it, listen for sounds and yelling, and yelling myself. If there is nobody in the house, or I think that nobody is in the house, I would do nothing except help manage the crowd of people and keep everyone safe until firefighters arrive. If there is someone in the house, I would determine if I could reasonably help them. If the house is completely engulfed in flames, I obviously can’t help them because I have no protection from the flames and would not be able to help them once inside. If it seemed as though I had a good enough chance to help them by going in, and it could not wait for the firefighters, I would go in and try and save them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to sort!
