Name: Marianna

Age: Seventeen
House you were sorted into: Hufflepuff

Are there any questions you would like to elaborate on? I've re-read over my application, and I really can't see anywhere where I might have added more. I feel like I can't go back and elaborate & re-answer questions because that's how I answered them. I don't think I am even making sense. xD Bascially, I feel that it would be better if I just answered new questions. xD So BASICALLY, all that waffle meants "No thanks!" Heh.

Explain why you feel misplaced in your current House! As I mentioned earlier, I personally view myself as a very strong person. I am not saying that Hufflepuffs are weak, but from what I've read in the book, I would probably much rather fit a Gryffindor or Slytherin. Both those houses are kind of opposites of each other in their strong points, but both seem very strong. I don't know if you believe star/sun signs, but basically, I am the epitome of Leo. Basically, this post of mine, sums me up better than I ever could. I may not be able to exactly say what kind of a person I am, but I know that I don't really fit into the Hufflepuff "mold".

What would you see in the Mirror of Erised? Be exact with your descriptions! The desire that is the strongest in my heart right now, would be acting. Ever since I was 12 or so I've been doing all these drama classes, and it wasn't until a few years back when I just thought "Hey, This is my thing. This is the job I want to have for the rest of my life. This is what I want to do." So, I think, if I looked into the Mirror of Erised I would be looking at myself, dressed in some wonderful costume, the hustle and bustle of crew and other actors and bright lights, and there would be this big smile on my face and I could just feel the atmosphere of what my mirror self would be feeling. It would make me even more determined to acomplish that desire.

What makes you unique? There are people who hate change, I am one of those people who love it. I'm more than happy (and plan) to jet off to another country and live in this culture that is different from mine. Not only in lifestyle, but I can't stand working in one place too long. I just get tired of the repetivness of the job. If it were up to me, I probably would have moved house, changed schools, moved to different states/countries more times than I could count on my fingers. Also, I believe that everything happens for a reason. For example, you miss out on a job, oh well, something betters bound to come along. You know, I might have met some person who I had a bad experiance with, but if I never met this person then I wouldn't have met some other person, and so on. I learn from my life, and don't get too caught up in things that have happened and are now in the past. I can't change that now, but I can still live for the future.

What would your boggart be, and why?

For all four houses, list traits that would make you NOT fit into the house (opposite of Amy's question), again, be thorough, etc. :D

Boggart Q.

What would your boggart be, and why?
I think my bogart would be of me like... cleaning toilets, and this would symbolise failure. If that ended up happening to me, I would cry so much. You only get one chance at life, and to have to live my life having to go to a job I hate every day, would be devistating. I want to do something exciting and creative with my life so much. I can't imagine working my butt off, making connections with these people that I think can help me, and then being an absolute flop would break my heart. I think my biggest fear, even before spiders, would be failure.

Non-Traits: Huff & Slyth.

Hufflepuff: I am not incredibly patient, especially when it's because of someone elses stupidity (and I'm probably being a bit hypocrytical here, but I don't care. xD) I tend to snap, or make a snide comment probably hurting that persons feelings. I also believe that Hufflepuffs often put others needs before their own. This is something that I definatley know is hardly me at all. Ever since I was younger I have always looked after myself first. My dad once told me a story about how when I was younger and my sister has just been born my parents said to me something like "Now Marianna, you have a little baby sister now, you'll have to share your things with her now." I replied something along the lines of "I haven't had to share with anyone for 4 years, you'll have to give me another 4 years to get used it it". Basically, I help myself first.
Slytherin: One thing that I don't have is control. While a Slytherin may weigh down their options before doing something, I'm more of a type to just rush into things and think about the consequences later. If someone were to bully me, I'd probably loose control of my emotions and fight back, whereas a Slytherin I think would mostly try to avoid confrontation, instead getting them back in a more sly way such as humiliation or revenge in a different form. I am not as calculating as Slytherins seem to be. While they sit and plan about how would be the best way to get under this persons skin, or to get back at that person, I'm more of a heat of the moment, say-the-most-hurtful-thing-that-pops-into-my-head kind of person. I don't really mediate on being hurtful.

Non-Traits: Claw & Gryff

Ravenclaw: Most Ravenclaws like knowledge for the sake of knowledge, I believe that I acquire some of my knowledge because I have to. Sure, there's things like learning languages or studying countries that I enjoy doing, but that's mostly because I know in the future I will probably end up there and that knowledge will be useful. Also, Ravenclaws are quite intellegent. Sure, I'm quite smart, but I am not extreemly intellegent. I have horrible spelling, and my grammar is even worse. Most Ravenclaws would be clear and concise writer where I tend to waffle on a bit, sometimes even entirely missing the point. I understand what's going on, I'm just not good at giving it back.
Gryffindor: I don't have a particually set in stone view on right and wrong. I think a lot of Gryffindors see in black and white, definate ends of the spectrum. It's kind of like the Fear & Love thing in Donnie Darko... but not. I think that a lot of actions are grey, and it's how you percieve things that determine whether they are right or wrong. Also, I don't think I am particually couragious or brave. I said in my app that I thought that there was a fine line between courage and stupidity, and I think that if something were to happen, I would probably help by doing something extreemly stupid, that just happened to work out in my advantage. But honestly, I don't think I could be coragious and save people at all. I care too much for myself. But then, I've never really been in that kind of situation.
