Minerva McGonagall- What spell have you always wanted to use?


Harry Potter- Well funny story actually, I actually have a scar on my forehead. Well not really my forehead it's more like my hair line right above my forehead, but it makes me sound like Harry Potter if I say forehead. Anyways I got it from a brick hitting my head. Yes a brick. It was a booby trap set up by a rude man who didn't want me and my friends exploring an abandoned apartment that was right above his. I mean I get now we were suppose to be up there but setting up a booby trap is highly unnecessary.  But the scar is super legit, I don't think I'm the only child or actually person who loves scars. I mean they're a reminder of the badass adventures you did. Stories to tell and marks to show people to make the story seem more legit. I love having battle scars. :)


Ron Weasley- I am absolutely terrified of the dark. I have been ever since I was a little kid and I can't pinpoint the exact moment. I mean there was this one time my cousin was babysitting me and his sister, and it was late at night and he watched 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' and for some reason never told us not to watch it so we did and it scared us shitless and then suddenly after the movie he just left. So I ended up calling my dad because we were terrified, my cousin has never been yelled at more in his life I think. My dad was sooooo pissed. But anyways I'm pretty sure I was scared of the dark long before that and I don't know why. I just always have been and it's a fear I'm trying to kick but it's hard to overcome. Imagine what my boggart would look like, I wonder how it would make darkness and what would happen if I said 'riddikulus' I mean how do you make darkness funny?

Hermione Granger- Well Harry Potter obviously and I'm serious. If Harry Potter were a class, and it really should be I'd probably ace it. And it's not like facts about Harry Potter but it's like the life of the actors and crew members. I mean I am highly into Harry Potter and I do my research and I do it to an absurdly scary amount. To put it into perspective if I spent as much time on my schoolwork as I did Harry Potter I'd be getting A's in all my classes, no joke. But okay let's talk school classes. I'm really very good at English, I'm mainly great at writing creative essays and I love to read. I plan on pursuing a career in English. I am very interested in Journalism and writing my own books. But I also lately have been thinking about how amazing it'd be to be an Agent for an upcoming writer. You know? Help them publish there books, I'd get to read tons of manuscripts and seeing as I love to read seems like an awesome job to me and then I also have room to write my own things and have the sources to get them published cause I'd be my own agent. The only thing is, is I really need to figure out how I go about this career path.

Draco Malfoy- The closest green object to me is probably my purse. But I wish there was more to Malfoy then a green object. Haha.

Severus Snape- I'm not sure why he is related to alcohol. Is it because of AVPS, where his sitting there just drinking away or has JK Rowling mentioned he's a drinker before? I'm not sure anyways I like fruity drinks  and you can say what you want but I'm not a big drinker in general. I don't like the taste of beer and doing shots of vodka just feels gross, especially if you get the cheap kind that tastes like nail polish remover. I mean really that stuff is nasty. So anything fruity is how I drink.

Rubeus Hagrid- Well I love animals in general. And I used to want to be a Vet at one point because I loved them and just wanted to take care of them. So if I could choose any of the teachers, I'd probably love to be Hagrid's intern and learn all of his amazing knowledge on the magical creatures of Harry Potter. But I love dogs especially my own Mia. She's my best friend and probably knows more about me than anyone I know. I love horses and wish I could ride them, I still have a dream of owning a farm, just to own and take care of horses one day. I think this dream is solely because I'm a Vermonter and owning farms is a dream of everyones. Hahaha. But I also love dolphins and whales, I love water and oceans and am an Aquarius so it all really fits.  Ummm I don't know I just love animals. If we were to be talking Harry Potter, hippogriffs are for sure the best mix of horse and bird. They're beautiful and I'd love to be able to fly.

Luna Lovegood- Well people think I'm weird for loving Harry Potter as much as I do but I don't really care. People think I'm weird for just simply loving as much as I do. I love completely and with all my heart. I will care about you and protect you and be there for you whenever you need me. I love people because they think that no one does. And that's simply not true.

Neville Longbottom- My favorite flower has got to be Bleeding Hearts. And I'm not sure if a lot of people know what Bleeding Hearts are (Google, but make sure to add flowers in there or else it might not be pretty) but they are just beautiful to me. They always have been. I also love Lilacs, we have a huge bush next to our house that acts as a fence against our neighbors and in the spring they bloom so beautifully and when my windows are open my room instantly smells wonderful. I loveee those Lilacs in the spring.


Nymphadora Tonks- I'd probably change my legs. I mean they're chubby and annoying.


Fred and George Weasley- Honestly just reading their names together makes me cry. Whenever, wherever I see Fred and George Weasley I just wanna break down into sobs. But anywho not the point, I'm actually not very good at pranks. I'm great at hiding and doing the whole 'gotcha' thing but pranks I'm not fantastic at. And I can't remember the last prank that was pulled on me.

Voldemort- Well see, I'd never actually be able to make a Horcrux. I'd never be able to kill a person just to rip my soul apart, and I actually really love my soul and want it intact. I also don't believe in any of the beliefs Voldemort does. Making the magically world all Pure Bloods, pleaseeee. But I will however answer the question, which is a strange on indeed. Well I'd need something that was so valuable to me. Something that meant the world to me write? And I'd honestly probably say my stuffed animal Beethoven. It probably has the most connection to me out of everything and would be the first thing I would think of.

Moaning Mrytle- Um, the last thing to make me cry probably would've been when I was watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows the other day. But if we're talking things that aren't movies and such well I guess to be plain, life. The stress of life. Money problems, car problems, the fact that I always feel alone, even with the greatest friends in the world, I always feel alone.

Sirius Black- You know what, I feel like it's engraved in me to take the blame for things I didn't do. But I haven't had to do that a whole lot of my life because my friends and I don't really get into all that much trouble. And I mean we're clever about it if we do, do anything that's worth getting into trouble. But I can't remember a time if I ever did, but I probably have. 


Dobby- Socks of course. Hahaha, no just kidding. Um my most beloved article of clothing. I don't know that's strange. I mean I don't really care a lot about my clothing. I mean obviously I do because I bought it for myself and it must've looked good or something but I don't know if there's a piece of clothing that I love a lot and never wanna throw away.


Peeves- The best insult I've ever used and this is actually truly offensive and I never meant it in that way. It was all meant in good fun and honestly no one took it as offensive but people reading this might. I had this friend once, and I'll change his name because I can. But we called him Mike the Mexican. Well cause he was Mexican. And we were playing football once when his sister drove by and stopped to ask him something. We were all laughing and teasing him and we always tease him for being Mexican and never in a rude way, we don't take it that far and he always laughed and made fun of himself. Which I know seems like, well of course he did because he doesn't know how to tell you guys he hates it, but really I always asked him if he wanted us to stop and I always told him he needed to tell us if we were being rude. But he honestly didn't care. And I remember him looking over at us and I just went "Look at him looking at us like we're boarder patrol." And I don't think I've ever made my friends laugh as hard as they did and I don't think they ever looked at me with such awe. Because I'm really bad at making jokes or coming up with jokes or just being funny in the moment. I'm that cheesy, corny person who makes really really lame jokes. But this was a good one, one of my best.

Sybill Trelawney- It's truly funny this should be asked because just the other day I actually had deja vu. And it was when I was at work, I babysit for a family of currently five children. And I was outside with these two girls the family is currently fostering and we were buy the monkey bars and they were trying to climb up and they're only 1 and 2 so clearly I didn't want them on the monkey bars cause they were going to get seriously hurt and I had this moment when I went to pick the one year old up and off the bars and it just happened. Where it all felt like I had done this before, which is so weird because it's like I knew at some point in my life I'd be meeting these two girls. I fully believe in deja vu and that's it's real. Haha.


Filius Flitwick- My favorite spell. Well I think that 'Accio' is truly awesome. And sometimes I wish it were real for when I'm lazy and don't want to get up and get something. I love all the spells. I think 'Alohomora' is a brilliant and useful spell. Away from spells I find Apparating and Disapparating extremely useful and I wish it were real. I'd love to own a broom and fly.


Lily Potter- I would without a doubt die for my parents, my friends, my dog if I had too. I mean really I mean this seems odd but I love all of these people more than my own life. I couldn't go on living without them, so I'd willingly take my life if it meant I didn't have to go on living without them. And this is why people think I'm odd. My love runs deeper than a lot of people believe it does.


Arthur Weasley- The function of a rubber duck? Again just kidding. I just love making Potter jokes. But I find all of todays technology fascinating. I mean the things the world is working on. In a college down in Texas they're working on a real invisibility cloak. I mean fo reallll that's some sick stuff.


Mundungus Fletcher- This is something I am not proud of and wish I didn't have to admit to but I am being completely honesty with every one of these answers. And my answer to this is yes. Completely harmless things, but that's just making an excuse. I didn't do it to feel cool, I don't even know why I did it. But it was most definitely a phase I learned from and as much as it is wrong I think it's a phase all kids have to go through. Some learn, some don't.

Viktor Krum- I'd most definitely be Keeper. I have a really good eye. And if I had a great broom, my reflexes are on hyper speed when my adrenaline is going. I am also extremely competitive and I feel like Keeper is my best position for this. 

Fleur Delacour- I love my eyes. And I really love my skin color, or tone I guess you'd say. I tan very easily and have naturally tan skin to begin with so I just stay tan throughout winter and love it.

Hedwig- As I mentioned with Hagrid. My favorite pet is my dog Mia. She is truly an amazing dog, she is so smart and loving. When she was a puppy she hated when I would cry and we also used to play this game where I'd hide under my covers and call out to hear and she would whimper and cry and dig underneath my covers to find me and then lick my face as if saying "Don't do that again, you scared me" She cares about me so much and I know that's a weird thing to know about an animal but I know that she does. She it my constant, she is always there for me. She keeps me company and lets me ramble onto here even though she'd rather be sleeping. She's such an amazing best friend, I love her to death. 

Albus Dumbledore- My greatest achievement is living my life right now in this moment. There are a lot of things that I am doing differently with my life that I wasn't over a year ago. I'm more just a little bit healthier, not by much and don't get me wrong I love food and I'll eat what I want. But I know that I need to do it slowly. And not all the time and I what I want and what I need are two different things. I'm way more active, walking and dancing a lot. I'm constantly outside and chasing the little kiddos I babysit around. I'm making my own life. I'm paying my own school bills and I just feel so independent and I feel like that's a great accomplishment. I mean I still live at home, sure but eventually I won't. Eventually it'll be time for me to transfer and I'll need to move out and go on to bigger and better things. But I know that when that time comes I'll be able to do that and I'll be ready. And I feel great knowing all these things.

Minerva McGonagall- I have always wanted to use Stupefy or Petrificus Totalus or that awesome spelly Ginny uses in the fifth movie, I don't know if it's in the book though but she like blows up that dummy Death Eater into dust and everyone is like back the fuck up. You're awesome. That spell looks sickkkkk. I also wouldn't mind making all the statues come to life to defend Hogwarts. That was pretty badass. Not to mention the music that accompanies that whole scene, just chillin and beautiful!

And look at that. I'm done. That was so much fun! Really!

There are a few more things I'd like to add. Like a Voldemort/Harry complex. Which would you choose out of the Deathly Hallows? The Cloak, Wand or Stone.

My answer would easily be the Cloak. It'd be so much fun to maneuver around unseen. I don't think I could handle all the power the Wand possess to be honest. I would certainly not go crazy with it and I, like Dumbledore probably could keep it all hushed up but I'd just be afraid of it's power and afraid of the people that want it's power. I don't want to die because of a Wand. And I fully understand the power of the after life, I understand that once loved ones leave this world they are accepted into another. I think it is beyond selfish to try and bring them back no matter how much I love them and want to see them again. In time I will but I should not want to bring them back and have them be unhappy, it would drive me mad to see them unhappy.

Andddd I think that's it. Anyways I realize I haven't written on here in more than a year now and I think it's time I get back to my writing. So I'll be here a lot more often now.

With love,
CassidyDoris

With my love



Most importantly, know your life is important. There are so many people whether you believe it or not that love you. And just look around at how beautiful the world can be, you just have to be willing to open your eyes to all the possiblities that world is handing to you. Take them, every second and every chance you get take those possiblities. I can't promise you they'll  all be good, but I can promise you that it'll be worth it. Just living is worth it. You are loved.


With my love,
CassidyDoris
