Name:Keet Arlie, Ravenclaw House Age: 16 Place how/where you spend your term break: Visiting the U.S. with my friend Rain

1. What did you enjoy doing most on term break? Visiting family and old friends. I also enjoyed spending time out in nature, especially seeing hummingbirds again.

2. Did you buy something new for yourself while not at school? If yes, what was it? I got a pet ruby throated hummingbird while I was on holiday, his name is Sparks. I couldn't resist bringing him home with me!

3. If you could give one piece of advice to the wizarding world, what would it be? Learn as much about the world as you can, and stay informed. Don't be blind to the world of muggles just becuase you are not a part of it, muggles can teach us some very valuable lessons.

4. If there was an extra hour every day, what would you do with it? I would probably spend more time reading or drawing.

5. What's better, having high expectations or having low expectations? While I have high expectations for myself, I prefer to have low ones for most other things. That way, I'm not so disappointed when things go wrong, and I'm pleasantly surprised when they go well.

6. You’re walking down the the streets of Hogsmeade and find a pouch with 40 galleons inside. What do you do with it? I would try to find the owner, that's quite a lot of money that someone could really be missing!

7. Would you rather never be able to express yourself accurately or always have to say the truth? I'd prefer to always have to tell the truth. I might go mad if I could never express myself accurately!

8. In what situation or place would you feel the most out of place in? At a large party with lots of people I don't know... Or, scratch that, just a large party in general.

9. What's a common thing that you think about when you're alone? I either think about the future and daydream about the things I am looking forward to, or I worry about all the things that could go wrong. It's probably more often that second one, though, I worry excessively.

10. Who or what gives you the courage to try new things? Probably my friends Rain and River, they are so adventurous and outgoing!

Private Outfit Name: Charlotte Rose, Ravenclaw Age: 15 Place how/where you spend your term break: Travelling around the country with my family

1. What did you enjoy doing most on term break? Practicing Quidditch at magical fairs that we found on our travels!

2. Did you buy something new for yourself while not at school? If yes, what was it? A Muggle device called a Kindle - now my book bag is half as heavy since all my Muggle books are stored on it.

3. If you could give one piece of advice to the wizarding world, what would it be? The world belongs to Muggles and wizards alike - and not to one more than the other.

4. If there was an extra hour every day, what would you do with it? Read!

5. What's better, having high expectations or having low expectations? High expectations - even if you fall short, at least you pushed yourself to try hard and probably achieved more than if you had low expectations (even if it's not quite what you were hoping).

6. You’re walking down the the streets of Hogsmeade and find a pouch with 40 galleons inside. What do you do with it? Bring it to the Three Broomsticks - no doubt someone is missing it and that would be where I'd check.

7. Would you rather never be able to express yourself accurately or always have to say the truth? Never express myself accurately - would be a challenge to find ways to properly communicate!

8. In what situation or place would you feel the most out of place in? Giving a keynote address in front of hundreds of people.

9. What's a common thing that you think about when you're alone? New ways to tie bows.

10. Who or what gives you the courage to try new things? My mother - she took a huge chance to try a new thing by marrying my father and being introduced to the magic world - so any time I'm nervous or unsure, I just think of how she must have felt and that she had the courage to forge ahead anyway.

Hey :) I'm afraid you have to join a house first, (add your character to the student roster) and have your special ability approved before earning points.

Your character is a bit too old to be a student as well.

Drew Wilder ~ Slytherin Questionnaire Name: Drew Wilder Age: 15 Place how/where you spend your term break: During the break I enjoyed working part-time at Rowan Trace Riding Club in Scotland

  1. What did you enjoy doing most on term break? Getting the chance to work with horses and lead trail rides
  2. Did you buy something new for yourself while not at school? If yes, what was it? Nothing for myself, but I did buy some presents for family and friends with some of my earnings
  3. If you could give one piece of advice to the wizarding world, what would it be? People are people, be they wizard or muggle. Everyone has special talents and a purpose; don’t allow prejudice to make someone seem unimportant.
  4. If there was an extra hour every day, what would you do with it? Read, go riding, and use the rest for sleep…assuming any was left, which it probably wouldn’t be after engaging in two of my favorite things.
  5. What's better, having high expectations or having low expectations? High expectations. There is no other kind in this Slytherin’s opinion. You should always strive to do your best and push yourself to achieve. People will let you down and you might even let yourself down, but that shouldn’t cause you to set your expectations low. Aim high!
  6. You’re walking down the streets of Hogsmeade and find a pouch with 40 galleons inside. What do you do with it? Go to the nearest shop and turn it in. But I would also check back before I left Hogsmeade and if it hadn’t been claimed then I would ask to keep it.
  7. Would you rather never be able to express yourself accurately or always have to say the truth? The truth hurts, but I would rather always have to say it rather than not being able to express myself. As a person who loves to write, I couldn’t handle it if I couldn’t express myself in all ways.
  8. In what situation or place would you feel the most out of place in? In a group of girls where they are discussing clothes, make-up, and which boys they think are cute…like at a slumber party or something.
  9. What's a common thing that you think about when you're alone? I’m usually reading or riding if I’m alone, but while riding or sitting in my room alone, I’m usually thinking about writing a new story.
  10. Who or what gives you the courage to try new things? My family, especially my parents.

Her entry was empty, she just claimed a post. It could be considered cheating if she edited her answers in after the challenge is closed as nobody would be able to detect the time she edited it in.

Hi !

I changed her age, got invited into Ravenclaw and added her to the Student Roster. She has no special abilities yet;

Quote by Twilight_Wanderer

Also, special abilities can be registered only between terms so unfortunately werewolf abilities won&;t be able to be used until next term. I&;m so sorry but believe me, it&;s worth the wait!

Elise Cortez, Slytherin Name: Elise Cortez Age: 14 Place how/where you spend your term break: I spent the majority of my time working as a Bakery Clerk and studying at the park in my hometown (aka New York City).

1. What did you enjoy doing most on term break? Getting to watch several of Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. (My feet hurt so much from waiting in the long lines for discounted tickets, but it was so worth the pain!) 2. Did you buy something new for yourself while not at school? If yes, what was it? YES! I bought myself a new pair of combat boots. I can't wait to break them in. c: 3. If you could give one piece of advice to the wizarding world, what would it be? Magic isn't everything. It's important to develop skills beyond your magical abilities. 4. If there was an extra hour every day, what would you do with it? Only one extra hour a day? sigh The wise choice would be to catch up on sleep (I'm usually sleep deprived during the school year), but I would probably spend it on extracurriculars (Choir, Defense Against the Dark Arts Club, or Arithmancy Club). 5. What's better, having high expectations or having low expectations? High expectations. I hold high expectations for my family and friends. You never know what you can accomplish until you push yourself. 6. You’re walking down the streets of Hogsmeade and find a pouch with 40 galleons inside. What do you do with it? I would ask around to see if anyone lost a pouch. I wouldn't specify what's in the pouch to see if anyone claiming it is being honest. If I can't find the owner, then I'll turn it into the authorities. 7. Would you rather never be able to express yourself accurately or always have to say the truth? I would rather always say the truth. I don't think I can live without being able to express myself. 8. In what situation or place would you feel the most out of place in? Any scenario where I don't know anyone and they purposely ignore me. 9. What's a common thing that you think about when you're alone? My family. My blessings. The future. 10. Who or what gives you the courage to try new things? My family and friends.

Outfit Not Found Name: Gwenyfar Tuddlemore Age: 15 years old Place how/where you spend your term break: Adare (hometown) and traveling through Ireland in search of ghosts to talk to and write a book about.

1. What did you enjoy doing most on term break? I enjoyed getting to spend time with my family of course, but what I really enjoyed doing was traveling around looking for old Irish ghosts. I am writing a book about the Ireland of the past and the ghosts that still are around today.

2. Did you buy something new for yourself while not at school? If yes, what was it? I bought myself a new backpack and writing stuff. Nothing really exciting I guess.

3. If you could give one piece of advice to the wizarding world, what would it be? Don’t underestimate Muggles. They are smarter than some wizards think.

4. If there was an extra hour every day, what would you do with it? Write. I have found a great passion for writing and getting my thoughts on paper.

5. What's better, having high expectations or having low expectations? I don’t know. I would say it is best to be prepared to fail but always strive for the best.

6. You’re walking down the streets of Hogsmeade and find a pouch with 40 galleons inside. What do you do with it? Look to see if someone around me dropped it. If there was no one around - probably try to find someone to give it to incase someone comes looking for it. I wouldn’t take it - that would be too much like stealing.

7. Would you rather never be able to express yourself accurately or always have to say the truth? Express myself. I can be very shy at times and afraid to say what I really feel.

8. In what situation or place would you feel the most out of place in? A dance. Too much social interactions and expectations. I would probably be against the wall hoping no one noticed me.

9. What's a common thing that you think about when you're alone? I daydream about the future. What my life will be like after school and when I have a job. Either that or falling in love. Lol.

10. Who or what gives you the courage to try new things? My parents. They have always encouraged me to try new things - even if I only do it once. Then I know if I like it or not.

  1. What did you enjoy doing most on term break? Taking photos of nature. It's so pretty out there
  2. Did you buy something new for yourself while not at school? If yes, what was it? I got a new long lens for taking landscape photos :)
  3. If you could give one piece of advice to the wizarding world, what would it be? Lighten up! Everything doesn't have to be so serious all the time. Live some and enjoy life.[/b]
  4. If there was an extra hour every day, what would you do with it? Take more photos!
  5. What's better, having high expectations or having low expectations? I think it's best to have high expectations but to understand that not everything or every one will live up to them, and that's okay!
  6. You’re walking down the streets of Hogsmeade and find a pouch with 40 galleons inside. What do you do with it? Take it to the nearest official who will hopefully find the owner of the pouch.
  7. Would you rather never be able to express yourself accurately or always have to say the truth? Always saying the truth would be better than never being understood.. that would just drive me mad!
  8. In what situation or place would you feel the most out of place in? I feel the most out of place in hospitals or places totally cut off from nature.
  9. What's a common thing that you think about when you're alone? I'm always thinking of what I can take photos of, when I'm alone.
  10. Who or what gives you the courage to try new things? The excitement and joy that comes with trying new things encourages me to try those new things. :)

Thank you for the pings. The post I had that you remembered was the dress up board. But I did mean to do this one too, and now I have ^_^

Oh man!! did I make an empty post!!? I didnt meant to.. I think I remember that. I posted it by mistake and meant to edit it, but got distracted by something and didn't go back . I certainly didnt mean to try to cheat! Thank you for deleting it. I'll be more careful from now on.

  2. Did you buy something new for yourself while not at school? If yes, what was it? A replica of a Greek vase with Polypemon, a famous half-giant.
  3. If you could give one piece of advice to the wizarding world, what would it be? Don't mistrust those who are different as they can be your greatest ally.
  4. If there was an extra hour every day, what would you do with it? Study of course!

  6. You’re walking down the streets of Hogsmeade and find a pouch with 40 galleons inside. What do you do with it? See if a family member knows any spells/other ways to reveal the owner. If not, save it in case anyone puts out an advert and invest if not.
  7. Would you rather never be able to express yourself accurately or always have to say the truth? I can't imagine never being able to express myself, so I guess I would always want to tell the truth.
  8. In what situation or place would you feel the most out of place in? Any social situation. I am trying to break out but it is still hard as a half-breed.
  9. What's a common thing that you think about when you're alone? My father. I never knew him and that is part of why I study giant history.
  10. Who or what gives you the courage to try new things? My mother! She has always been there and supports me 100%.

1. What did you enjoy doing most on term break? Making new friends at camp. 2. Did you buy something new for yourself while not at school? If yes, what was it? A new Wizard Card binder! I happened upon a hobby shop on my last days in Germany and they had so many Wizard Card sets I thought I would leave with more than half their stock! 3. If you could give one piece of advice to the wizarding world, what would it be? Break away from the limitations you place on your heart, mind, and soul... you may find yourself unlocking a whole new potential. 4. If there was an extra hour every day, what would you do with it? Spend it with my pet bats (it'd be nice to fly with them on castle grounds). 5. What's better, having high expectations or having low expectations? Low expectations. Having low expectations means little to no disappointment. 6. You’re walking down the streets of Hogsmeade and find a pouch with 40 galleons inside. What do you do with it? Check if there's any distinguishable detail as to the pouch's owner. If I can't find any, I would turn it over to the proper authorities and hope that whoever lost it reports it missing. 7. Would you rather never be able to express yourself accurately or always have to say the truth? Always have to say the truth. 8. In what situation or place would you feel the most out of place in? Trying to interact with people who don't want to interact with me... 9. What's a common thing that you think about when you're alone? I like to think about all the little things that make me feel happy or excited. 10. Who or what gives you the courage to try new things? My family and friends.

Slytherin: Bennet - 15 points leafling19 - 15 points Lin - 15 points MerlinPendragon - 15 points poppet - 15 points Valiska - 20 points - I love how you stayed true to your character in this! It was entertaining to read! Twilight_Wanderer - 15 points Total: 110

A survey challenge has the purpose to show more of the character you're playing.# EDIT:: Thanks for the anonymously blackmailing from one of Ravenclaw, I appreciate it greatly. Viking's entry lacked substance, that has nothing to do with short or sweet. You don't get full credit just because you participate. Others had short answers too, but those were entertaining and not interchangeable. Total: 157
