“The years go on, you see changes in yourself, but you’ve got to face that everyone goes through it… either you have to face up to it and tell yourself you’re not going to be eighteen all your life, or be prepared for a terrible shock when you see the wrinkles and white hair. Getting older doesn’t frighten me, but I wish I didn’t have to because I like life a lot.” Happy 86th Birthday, Audrey Hepburn! (May 4, 1929 - January 20, 1993)

Hmm, difficult. VERY difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind, either. There’s talent, oh yes. And a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you? Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin. Well if you’re sure, better be… GRYFFINDOR!

Famed is thy beauty, Majesty. But hold, a lovely maid I see. Rags cannot hide her gentle grace. Alas, she is more fair than thee. Lips red as the rose. Hair black as ebony. Skin white as snow.
