How do you know you fancy someone? I know it's a silly question, but how do you know you do, or if you're just feeling obligated to feel that way. I think I might fancy someone, but I'm just not sure. I care about him a lot but I can't tell if I care about him in a different way than I do Dorcas my best friend.

And, please don't ask me if I want to snog him, because it's not that simple, is it?

If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today and why? What would you do with them?

If you were the omnipotent ruler of the universe, what would be the first thing you'd change about how things are now?

Who do you fancy? I know you're dying to get it off your chest so go on, tell us.

Let's try this.  In the interest of house unity, and because I think a quidditch scrimmage would be ace right now, so let's draw up anonymous teams and play this Sunday.

If you're interested, just tell me what position you'd like to play.  You don't have to be on your house team to join in, and even if you are on your house team, you can pick a different position if you want.  I'll give you a number and tell you if you're Team A or Team B, and we'll just show up Sunday ready to play.  Nothing at stake, just an excuse to switch things up a bit and play for the fun of it.

( THE TEAMS! )

How do you know when you're in love with someone? What sort of qualities do you think would make you fall in love with someone?

Who is the person you trust most in the world? Why?

Question time, Hogwarts. Let's say there's this bloke a person who seems like maybe they might be interested in you. And when you stop to think about it, you might be interested as well. You have things in common, you have a good time around them, and you're feeling like there's some chemistry there.

But there's one catch. They've been quite interested in someone else. That someone else doesn't seem to feel the same way, so it doesn't seem likely to happen, but you don't like being second best. You don't want to feel like you're the rebound for someone they were never even with.

What would you do? Take things as they come and try not to get too attached? Encourage any feelings the person might have for you? Or maybe just cut things off before you get hurt?

Outside of the confines of anonymity, how many of us would admit to the things we've said here?  How many of us would have the strength of will or the self-confidence to admit being truly different than our peers, when those same peers might turn their backs the moment your difference was brought to light?

No, it is much easier to cling to what we know, what is comfortable, what is safe, even if it's a lie.  It's easy to be bold when no one knows who you are. 

Which student do you envy the most at Hogwarts? Why?

Time to kiss and tell, Hogwarts! Who's the best snogger in the whole school? Or who do you think would be good and why?

Werewolves and vampires and other dangerous creatures should all be put to death to keep the rest of us safe. At the very least, they shouldn't be allowed to run around wild like they do. Lock them all up and throw away the key! Maybe then we wouldn't have to keep reading in the Daily Prophet about people being attacked!

People you think are secretly in love but aren't together. Unrequited crushes that are obvious to everyone but the person who is being fancied. People who you believe should be together but are not for whatever reason. Go.

Who's the hottest prettiest girl in the entire school? And why?

If you could be anyone Hogwarts for a day other than yourself, who would you be? Why? What would you do?

Sometimes I wonder if I could possibly have been Sorted right, considering the way most of the people around me behave toward each other.

Most fanciable professor?

Curiosity killed the kneazle, I suppose.

What are everyone's interests?

If you could make a wish, knowing that it would definitely be granted, what exactly would it be? Feel free to be as selfish as you want, it makes for more interesting answers.

James Potter is a wonderful friend!

Lily Evans is the kindest person I've ever met.

Alice Higgs works harder than anyone!

Emmeline Vance is the bravest person I know.

Moira Fletcher is more talented than she even realizes herself.

Edgar Bones is a sweetheart.

Your turn!!
