13. If you were at Hogwarts which house would you be in?
Hufflepuff, and I would be the greatest of them all!!!! Possibly Slytherin though too…
14. Who would be your favorite teacher at hogwarts?
That one is fairly easy for me actually. Some people would probably slave away all day trying to think of their besets most favorite professor ever, but me I got this down. McGonagall, plain and simple. A great witch, stern but understanding, teaches transfiguration a rather respected position and not an easy subject to boot. She is one of the greatest witches of her time, and I have always had a great admiration for her. It isn't hard to know what Dumbledore sees in her, and I think many probably favor her over, say, someone easy to like…Snape. (my least favorite after someone like Quirrell or Umbridge of course)
15. What lesson would you enjoy the most?
Hard to say really. I mean I know I just said that I love McGonagall, but honestly, asking why a raven is like a writing desk is about the same as turning a rat into a water goblet. It just isn't done, and there is little to no purpose in it. However that being said, I don't much like math so arithmancy is out, divination is out unless Firenze is teaching it because seriously?…charms is boring, though somewhat more useful in everyday life, muggle studies shouldn't even be mentioned in passing as I'm doing here (we all know why, snooze fest!), and all the other ones aren't anything super either. Mind you I'm saying all this from a student's point of view, and not my literal point of view as if I managed to actually get to go to Hogwarts, I would take arithmancy with great love and admiration that I have never known for a class involving math. This leaves me with two options, History of Magic or the ever fun Defense Against the Dark Arts to choose from. I love love love history, so I think I would flip my lid over that class. DADA always seems like the most fun of the classes, but then again the teaching of the subject is so irregular that I think I would be rather annoyed to be skipping back and forth between topics and never fully getting a sense of what it all means. All in all I'm sure I would strive to do my best in all of them, because my goal would undoubtedly be to become a greater wizard than most. Oops, forgot to mention potions up there…what does that tell you about that subject in my mind…yeah…
16. Which position would you want if you played Quidditch?
Um, not a position with a lot of pressure preferably, maybe beater or something? That really all I think I would want, still plenty of action but not too much pressure on me I guess.
17. What would be your favorite spells or potions?
I think dueling spells would be amongst my favorite. Being a great wizard often means that during a duel you must be the most cunning, the most instinctive and wisest, which means many things. I would strive to know many spells so that even when something isn't a dueling spell, it could be used to outwit my opponent nonetheless. As far as the potions and what not, I dunno that I would have a favorite, but as I enjoy cooking I'm sure that I would like making potions just to see the end result work its magic.
18. What would your patronus be?
I think I'm expected to say wolf here, a symbol I greatly admire and liken to myself quite often, but I think maybe my answer should be different. Ever since I was young I have always been fascinated by bats. Creatures of the night, flying mammals, both dark and free. These are things that I find in myself. I am a night creature myself, staying up late, being most active during the night hours, my creativity flows the best then. There is also at times a great need for me to be free from my life, to fly above others, aways from myself, to experience my life without it's pressures, without all its uncertainties, and just be. To fly during the night where no one else can see you, to experience the freedom without the stress of knowing that you're being watched and judged. That is me, and I think though it seems a bit strange, that would be my patronus for better or for the worse of it.
19. What would amortentia smell like for you?
Now I ask the question on everyone's mind…what does Zefron smell like, because I of course am the most supermegafoxyawesomehot Zefron fan that ever lived ::looks over to the life size poster of zefron he has had for a couple years now::. No, but really, who is to say? I am not in love, I don't know that I have ever been in love, and I am not completely sure I ever will be. It could smell like a whole myriad of things if it smelled anything like the people I am usually attracted to: fresh sweat after a sports game, expensive cologne or perfume, pencil shavings, art supplies, a dusty book. None of those things would be bigs clues to me, but as a person who chooses not to be defined by others, I think that the smell of amortentia would be a pleasant surprise to me. I would gladly take a whiff and smell what my mind is thinking when I'm not paying attention.
20. What would your bogart be?
Zombies or chainsaws, in no particular order. Sorry to be boring, but those are really my only irrational fears, the rational ones a bogart could't hope to achieve.
21. Do you think you're like any of the characters?
Truly I see only the tiniest pieces of myself in the main characters, but that being said, how could I have followed them on their journey this long if I didn't feel invested in them in some way? Maybe its more subconscious than anything with them, its a story that everyone can relate to if they give it a chance. An amazing adventure that we can all go into life with, even with all its intricacies and darkness, it is like life. As far as the other characters, I see some of myself in Dumbledore and Voldemort more than anything. Combine the two and I think you would have a person who is more like me than any of the other characters singularly. The struggles, inner and outer, define who I am and how my mind works. This is what these wizards are best known as.
22. How did you react when your Hogwarts letter didn't arrive when you were 11?
I was older than eleven when I began to read the series, but I only felt joy that I discovered this amazing world and that there was more to come, more to celebrate. Joy, anger, realization, mourning, turmoil, love. A work of art that makes you feel all these things isn't to be taken lightly, and I never have.
23. How do your friends/family react to your Harry Potter obsession?
Indifferently, honestly. My parents did call me BP for Brae Potter for a while, and that was kind of irritating, I still get it from time to time. Otherwise my most recent experience was from one of the movie premieres, when I turned around in full robes to find that Kat and I are on camera for our tri-state news, and find that a few days later my family is asking me whether I may have been on tv just the other day or if that was someone else. "IT WAS ME!!!!!" I replied cackling menially.
24. Do you have any inside jokes that relate to Harry Potter?
Loads of them, oodles and oodles, like too many to place here, and lets be honest, there is no way that a bazillion other people don't have all the same ones. The most unique one I can think of is probably Finnegus Shamigan, and that one came at a late hour, probably after some drinks on my part, and a huge round of slap happiness for all involved, but the joke still gets us riled from time to time no matter how nonsensical. Obscure!
25. If you were at the store and saw Harry Potter buying whole milk, what would you do?
Die…then run over, pick him up, flinging him about in the air happily, give him a snog, and then run away before dying again. That is all.
