Do you normally think everything out, consequences included, or are you the type to jump in head first and deal with everything else later?

That depends on the situation. Professionally, I like to plan my moves before I make them. There's rarely a problem that can't be solved through proper strategy and consideration. However, in areas of my life where the consequences are less severe, I've found that spontaneity is much more fun.

[askanastasia]

are you early bird or night owl?

Night owl. I am definitely not a morning person.

[askanastasia]

If you had to choose between being a muggle in a world with magic or being magical in a world where no one knows magic, what would you choose?

Magical in the muggle world. I’d miss the wizarding world, but the other choice sounds like hell. 

[askanastasia]

Do you collect chocolate frog cards?

I do! They don't take up much space and I like looking to my favorite cards for motivation sometimes.

[askanastasia]

What has been your favorite lesson so far?

Any of the history lessons. I think it's a fascinating subject, even if I'm the only one of that opinion. The Veritaserum lesson in Potions was another favorite. And I always love Charms class, no matter what we’re learning. 

[askanastasia]

Pumpkin juice or butterbeer?

There's nothing better than butterbeer. Except for butterbeer with ice cream.

It's okay to admit that I've managed to sway that Slytherin heart of yours with my charm and affinity for all sweets of the European magic variety - Bertie Bott's aside.

You know I’ll admit to anything for some of those sweets you mentioned. Now, whether or not I’m telling the truth, that’s for you to figure out. 

[askanastasia]

What other house do you think you would fit in without much of a hitch?

I think I could fit in decently with the Hufflepuffs. Outwardly I share a lot of their traits. It’s the insides that don’t match. 

[askanastasia]

Has anyone caught your eye?

Only half the school. The people here are beautiful. Yes. Maybe. I shouldn't say. I don't want to spark more of those out-of-control rumors spreading around Hogwarts.

[askanastasia]

What would it say on your chocolate frog card?

I haven't done anything to deserve one yet. But some day, I hope it'll speak to all the great things I've done for the wizarding world.

[askanastasia]

What do you think Amortentia would smell like to you?

Lavender and wood, with a hint of butterscotch.

[askanastasia]

If you were to design something for Weasely’s Wizard Wheezes, what would it be?

Fake chess pieces, perhaps? At the start of the game, they’d act normal -- then, right when the game’s gotten intense, they’d start breaking the rules and wreaking havoc on the chessboard. It’s just the right combination of funny, harmless and annoying to sell at Weasley’s.

askanopenbook​:

Precisely! There’s always a silver-lining somewhere. Do you think it would do it?

I think it’s too easy to work, if I’m honest, but it’s worth a try. I love parties. And this pep talk’s definitely earned you an invitation. 

[askanastasia]

What is your favourite magical creature?

Abraxans. I used to watch them in the pastures for hours back at Beauxbatons. I was scared of them at first, still am a bit, but they’re actually really sweet and harmless. The caretaker let me give them treats every once in a while.

[askanastasia]

How important is blood status to you when trying to find a potential lover or friend?

My mum's a muggleborn. She really bought into the pureblood elitism of the wizarding world, and she let it take over her life. Married a pureblood with the intention of 'bettering' her bloodline. She wants me to do the same, and my children, and so on until we're practically pureblood. But all that work, and we'd still be looked at as 'tainted blood' by the elites. Not pure enough. So then, even if all of this blood status bullshit did matter, what would be the point in someone like me discriminating?

So, no, it isn’t important to me. 

[askanastasia]

What is your favourite spell?

Alohamora. I only use it for good, I swear.
