The Hogwarts Tag // On Boggarts, Detentions, and an Indecisive Sorting Hat

I grew up reading Harry Potter, and spent a considerable amount of my childhood immersed in the Wizarding World, so I had a lot of fun answering these questions.

I was tagged by my fellow Ravenclaw, the lovely Marianna @ Marianna’s Corner. She has great answers to these questions, so you should definitely head over to her blog to read them!

Are you a Pure Blood or a Half-Blood?

As evidenced by this & this test*, I’m a Half-Blood.

*I obviously took this tag very seriously, and all my answers are the result of diligently implemented research.

Which wand chose me?

Did you take a cat, owl or toad with you?

I had a tough time deciding between an owl and a cat (I always thought I’d 100% choose an owl, to be honest?), but in the end, I brought a cat with me. 🐱

Where did the Sorting Hat put you?

It deliberated for a long time, but ultimately decided to put me in Ravenclaw, after ruling out Hufflepuff (I’m the least patient person on earth!), and deciding against Slytherin.

What House did you want to be placed in?

Ravenclaw. 🦅💙 But I’m a proud Slytherclaw, with the heart of a Hufflepuff.

What lessons are your favourite and least favourite?

I love Charms and Transfiguration, but also Defense Against the Dark Arts, taught by Remus Lupin. (He’s the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher there ever was, and I will fight everyone who disagrees with me on this!! But only with words, because I’m petite and don’t have a whole lot of upper body strength.) Arithmancy is pretty amazing, as well.

My least favorite lesson is Potions with Snape (for obvious reasons), closely followed by Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid (sorry, Hagrid!!) and History of Magic (but I guess students need to catch up on sleep sometime, so it’s all good).

What is your Patronus?

A Phoenix.

What does your Boggart look like?

A Dementor. I genuinely can’t think of anything that’s more harrowing than having to relive your worst memories, and have all your happiness and hope sucked out of you.

Do you partake in any magical hobbies or school sports?

Does practicing my spell work and reading books on magic count as magical hobbies?

Where would you spend your spare time?

In the castle, exploring its many secret nooks and crannies with the Marauder’s Map’s assistence, and of course, the library.

What would you most likely get detention for?

I’ve never gotten detention in my life, but I did get admonished many, many times for helping out several classmates in exams.

What career do you want after graduating Hogwarts?

This question, same as in real life, is stressing me out severely, so … no comment. :’)
