1. Name: Andrea
2. Age: 21

3. Have you read all 6 Harry Potter Books? Which book was your favorite?  Yes, I have read all six.  I would have to say that the sixth book is currently my favorite.  It offers character development in Snape and Malfoy, a very intricate plot, a tone which completely capivated me the whole way through, and generally quite amused me with certain situations.  (Imagining Luna Lovegood announcing the Quidditch games with McGonagall trying to keep her on topic is just one of the many.)
4. Which house qualities do you value most? Each house has values which I agree with: cunning, loyalty, intelligence, and courage.  Cunning is a quality I value in myself and the people around me.  I greatly appreciate loyalty because I loathe being betrayed (and have been known to seek some sort of justice for such violations).  Intelligence is something I can not exist without; mazes, riddles, games (word, board, card and the like) and things of that nature are just a large portion of my free time for me.  And courage is something I am always trying to increase in myself for obvious reasons.
5. What are your pet peeves? Most of my pet peeves have to do with people.  Most owe such detestation to carelessness or inconsterate acts; among these are people who take over arguments and think they win by talking louder than anyone else, people who do not use their manners regarding others (especially on the road), and people who are too busy being apathetic, angsty or lazy to notice/care about anyone or anything else.  Other pet peeves: poor grammar, lack of imagination, trite or redundant language, and closemindedness.
6. Based from your personality, what kind of Animagus would you be? (The animal chooses you, you don’t choose it.) A Chartreux cat.  The cat is a sturdy survivor with a good personality which loves heights.  Plus, as cats often are, I am fond of sleeping.
7. What shape would your Boggart take? (Remember: Your Boggart takes the shape of the thing that you fear the most.) My boggart would be a large clown.  But not just any type of clown you might spot at the Fair or circus.  I can deal with those ones.  This clown would be like eight feet tall, huge red nose, extremely pointy teeth, escaped-lunatic eyes, huge hands, and the typical massive amounts of clothing with outrageous colors and polka dots.  I don’t think I need to explain any futher than that.
8. What do you worry about the most and why? (Note: This is not the same thing that your Boggart becomes. Your biggest fear and your biggest worry are two different things.)  The biggest worry in my life is if I’m doing the right things by everyone I encounter.  Am I doing right by my friends?  Am I in the right courses to get the job I want?  Was I not nice enough to that old man who dialed a wrong number?  Did I say the right thing to that lost student?  Am I doing right by me?
9. Would you put your name in the Goblet of Fire? Yes, but only because I would not be chosen.  I would not expect to be chosen as a competitor as I usually prefer being in a group but would do it to give the Goblet the option to choose me (and to take part in the pre-competition jitters the others in my group would be experiencing).
10. What do you believe is the greatest weapon you possess? How, why, and when would you use it? The greatest weapon I posess is surprise.  This weapon is typically used when I have kept quiet as a part of a group until I am needed to spring up and take charge.  On these occasions I have the talent to help hypothetical circumstances come to fruition and the advantage of being slightly mysterious or underestimated so others have difficulty predicting what I will do or how well I will do it.  I also quite like seeking the shocked faces on those who completely count me out.
11. Would you ever want to be a prefect? Not really.  Too much responsibilty and spotlight, not enough freedom and discresion.
12. What quality do you admire above all others? Do you feel that it is a quality you or the people you surround yourself with possess? Being well-put-together.  This is meant to illustrate that type of person that you know has enough common sense, creativity, intelligence, joviality, and seriousness that you know you can stand being around them and want to be around them as frequently as possible.  It is the total package overall that really counts.  I tend to surrond myself with these people due to the fact that this quality or combination of qualities provides a dependable and interesting person.
13. What are the worst qualities that you believe a person can possess? Why do you feel this way? Closemindedness and apathy are two of my pet peeves as mentioned in quesiton 5 partly because they make horrendous character traits.  The singleminded, defeatist, and the irrational (in both thought and behavior) are equally repugnant.  This is simply because there is no talking to people with these traits or working with them.  Either you ascribe to their point of view (whenever or however it strikes them) or you are instantly disregarded as unimportant or worthless.
14. If you were to look into the Mirror of Erised, what would you see? I would have a glass of champagne in my hand, a nice-looking man on my arm, my friends around me (also with champagne), a full wallet in my pocket, and I would be smiling.
15. How many people do you consider true friends? What qualities do they have that are important to you? Why are they your friends? I have two true friends.  One posesses copious amounts of imagination, the best sense of humor I have ever known and such great intelligence that I am so incredibly grateful I know her.  The other happens to be the most honest person on the planet, a competant leader, and quite a character unto herself.  Both are my friends because they inspired me to be something more than just another kid, quiet and surly.  Plus neither has been able to shrug me off yet.
16. What are your thoughts on Voldemort? I am personally against his cause (or his crusade) but he, on a personal level, has my pity.  He is an orphan who basically grew up in a negligent enviornment with a chip on his shoulder large enough to build a mall on it.  It is almost as if he should have had a really fuzzy puppy when he was little to prevent all that happened afters.  Granted, he just might be innately evil, in which case he would either kill the dog just to watch it die or train it to attack on command.  I  ossilate between the two trains of though; pity or evil.  Cause-wise, Voldemort's style is not my style.  Plus I would rather serve my own purposes to help my family and friends (and have them do the same) rather than see them die horrifically for or at his bidding.
17. What do you think are your main 3 characteristics? The most obvious are honesty, niceness, and a high degree of intelligence.  I am honest as I can be about everything partly because it is a good way to gauge where other people relate to the truth and partly because I tend to be a bad liar (or have been in the past; I've been working on it).  Being nice is an exceptional quality for me because I try not to burn bridges before I know if I need to cross them.  And intelligence is not a quality I would ascribe to myself generally, however I have been described as such by enough people to accept the fact that it might be true.
18. What house do you feel you belong in? I truly do not know.  Each time the subject comes up people say I should be in different houses.  I prefer if you all would come to a consensus.
19. "Blood or water" - Which is more important; friends or family?  To me friends are family and there is no differenciating between them.  Should a member of my family or a friend of mine turn evil or against me, the same shunning of them would occur along with the option in the future for potential forgiveness.
