1) You are confronted with immediate danger. Will it be fight or flight? As I mentioned above, I am a very avoidant person. My first instinct is always to flight, not necessarily out of fear, but so I can hide away and think until I come up with a coherent plan of action or a way to avoid the danger all together. However, I do believe that if I was faced with putting myself at risk for a greater good, and the necessary danger was imminent and immediate, then I wouldn’t think twice about facing it for the fight. 2)What would your amortentia potion smell like? Mmm. 1 - The very distinct aroma of an ocean boardwalk: suntan lotion, salty sea breeze, and a variety of greasy fan fare foods all swirling together into this intoxicating blissful scent of summer. 2 – Freshly bound books. The first few times a new book is opened, the pages have this alluring, crisp smell. Its there in most book stores too, though often mixed with scents of coffee and pastries. 3 – There’s a bush that was outside of grandparent’s house growing up. I have no idea what it was, but it had this strong minty and evergreen aroma. Everytime I catch a whiff of it somewhere, I’m instantly reminded of childhood and family. 3)What animal would your patronus be? Probably a small whale of some sort. A beluga perhaps? I’ve always been more comfortable in the water than on land. I’m not the most graceful person, or the lightest – but that all changes underwater. I’ve always felt an affinity with dolphins. But I feel that a whale, also intelligent and sociable, but less fast paced and acrobatic, is perhaps more representative of myself. 4)Would you have joined Dumbledore's army or gone to the meeting if Hermione had asked you? Why or why not? I don’t often make rash decisions. I like them to be informed and well-thought out. I definitely would have come to the initial meeting at the Hog’s Head. However, I doubt I would have signed the list, despite the peer pressure and insistence. Realistically, I probably would have pulled Hermione aside and told her I wasn’t comfortable signing, but would swear to uphold their secret. Then, I would spend the next week weighing the pros and cons of the group and decide I was an idiot for not joining initially. From that realization, I would go to one of the trio, explain my change of heart and that I’d love to join the group, and offering to gladly sign my name to the list.
