My Horcrux

The easiest answer to this question (and hopefully the most true for everyone out there reading this) would obviously be “I'd never even consider making a horcrux”. Given that the thought of murder generally makes me squeamish, I'd have to say this is certainly true for me.

However, let's say that I'm over that part and am really going to make a horcrux. Which object would I choose to make it from? Hm...Well, as much as I hate to admit it, I'd have to go with Harry's brilliant idea (yes, they do come occasionally to our little friend) to make it out of something no one would expect or even care about like a piece of old newspaper or a discarded can. No one would ever think to destroy it magically, so I'd feel fairly confident that I was safe.

But that doesn't say very much about me, does it? Another thought that just popped into my mind would be a HP book. Perhaps DH or HBP? They did greatly shape who I am today, and give me the idea to make a horcrux. Lol! So, that honor wouldn't be ill-suited to them.

Other than that, everything else that does have great meaning to me personally is based in religion. So, the next items on the list would be the Brigid's Cross I got in Ireland and the Celtic knot work candle holders from Knowth. These say so easily who I am, what is important to me, and they have each witnessed or begun great changes in who I am. They are the trophies of my great spiritual development and continued growth.

The real question would be how I would protect them, I think. I'd probably hide them either at the house in which I spent the majority of my life or somewhere near my performing arts school. Both mean exactly the same things to me as the objects above, but they also mean more. They saw my darkest times when I was so ready to give up on everything that it would only be fitting for me to return with my symbol of continuing life (even if it is as horrible as a horcrux) and of my greatest achievement magically-speaking. As far as security, I'm drawn toward the Stilken. Lol! If you got that, ten points to your house! If you didn't, it's a very long story related to role play. Hm...I'm not sure how I'd protect it, to be honest. The idea of the potion in HBP intrigues me, but I don't think it would work in my chosen hiding places. So, I guess I'll leave that part a mystery should any of you try to find my horcrux!
