Imelda’s Sorting Answers

Quiz used: http://www.gotoquiz.com/pottermore_sorting_quiz_all_possible_question

It’s essentially the official Pottermore quiz with all possible questions.

  1. Which of the following would you most hate people to call you?
    1. Ordinary
    2. Ignorant
    3. Cowardly
    4. Selfish
  • Notes: (I was stuck between Cowardly and Selfish for a while. Eventually I chose Cowardly because you have to keep in mind that this is a young Imelda answering these questions, not the Imelda who banned music because her musician husband left her. That Imelda I believe would answer Selfish, since she genuinely believed that the music ban was the only way to keep her family safe from the damage music can cause, but a young Imelda I believe would answer Cowardly.)

One of your house mates has cheated in a Hogwarts exam by using a Self-Spelling Quill. Now he has come top of the class in Charms, beating you into second place. Professor Flitwick is suspicious of what happened. He draws you to one side after his lesson and asks you whether or not your classmate used a forbidden quill. What do you do?

  1. Lie and say you don’t know (but hope that somebody else tells Professor Flitwick the truth).
  2. Tell Professor Flitwick that he ought to ask your classmate (and resolve to tell your classmate that if he doesn’t tell the truth, you will).
  3. Tell Professor Flitwick the truth. If your classmate is prepared to win by cheating, he deserves to be found out. Also, as you are both in the same house, any points he loses will be regained by you, for coming first in his place.
  4. You would not wait to be asked to tell Professor Flitwick the truth. If you knew that somebody was using a forbidden quill, you would tell the teacher before the exam started.

crafting-phantastically:

I think what people dont realize is that Snape is a complex well-written character, who has a 3 dimensional personality, the depth of which cannot be encompassed by a singular word like 

‘good’  or 

‘asshole’

, the latter of which is mostly used by tumblr to completely disregard everything else regarding his character 

First of all, Snape WAS brave, you can try to deny that, you can argue with me over that but you cannot deny the fact that he had the guts to lie to Voldemort’s face, to go behind his back.You can also not deny the fact that the man played a pivotal role in Harry’s protection and in winning the war.He was a man who knew that he wasn’t going to make it out alive, but he came to terms with that and put himself in grave danger for the sake of the greater good

Secondly, people seem to confuse 

‘being a caring teacher’ with 

’ being a good teacher’ ,and though Snape wasnt caring or loving, he was a good teacher. He taught his students properly, prepared them for their examinations and passed on his knowledge and he was fair. People seem to quote him taking away points from gryffindor  for no reason, but at no point did he unjustly did so, I mean my teachers reprimand me from answering without being called on, doesn’t mean they are assholes.Also if I remember correctly he wasn’t the one who gave his fave house just enough points at the eleventh hour to make them conveniently win the house cup.

third, no matter what you say his dislike for Remus and Sirius was justified, they put his life in danger ffs, not to mention the continuous bullying they subjected him to even before he called lily a mudblood. i donot however agree with him revealing Remus’s secret but i will discuss that further down

Fourth, please stop using his actions as a student in your arguments against him, when you oh-so-readily wave of the mauraderer’s actions because they were 

‘kids’. Yes Snape was a little shit, but he was a child moreover he was a child who had not only never had the best family life but he was constantly being bullied by his peers *cough*jamesandsirius*cough*, not only that but his own house alienated him because of his friendliness towards lily, he didn’t belong anywhere, he didn’t fit in and he was scared and young, he made bad decisions but if you can forgive Draco you can give him the benefit of doubt.

with that being said, I dislike the man deeply but he wasn’t inherently bad just childish. His treatment of Harry was out of petty, his hatred for Neville was a product of him not being able to deal with his own loss and wanting to be able to blame someone else, and his treatment of Lupin and Sirius was a childhood grudge held which he held onto for too long because he had nothing else to grasp to.He was jealous of what others had around him, when he himself had noone to call his own, which is why i believe he held onto Lily till the very end because she was the only one who had been familiar to him

so yes, he might have been an asshole, he was definitely a bit (a lot) pathetic but at the same time he was so much more

Draco Malfoy in the books

snortinglaughter:

dreamydrarry:

readthebloodybook:

hipsterkankuro:

If you didn’t read the books you wouldn’t know…

  • Draco Malfoy personally made the Potter stinks buttons and nobody could fix them to say Harry was cool and shit, if they tried it would only make the insults worse
  • You wouldn’t know Draco Malfoy was always right behind Hermione in grades
  • You wouldn’t know Draco was seriously the most animated person at school and acted out everything. 
  • You wouldn’t know Draco got deeply offended when people didn’t laugh at his jokes
  • You wouldn’t know Draco created the Weasley is our King song, tune and all. (Probably in the shower or something because he’s such a weenie) 
  • You wouldn’t know Draco and Ron got into a fist fight in their first year
  • You wouldn’t know about the huge knock down drag out between Draco, Harry and the rest of the Slytherin and Gryffindor quidditch team in their fifth year. (Harry  and Draco just fucking tackle each other and start whooping each others asses and it’s amazing.)
  • You would miss out on basically everything Draco says and does. He’s a walking gold mine and It’s upsetting the movies didn’t devote a few seconds for any of his shit (Azkaban did an okay job) 
  • You wouldn’t know about the Weasley is our king buttons he made in fifth year either
  • You wouldn’t know Draco didn’t actually try and fight a Hippogriff

    he was just petting him and offhandedly said that he was ugly. He didn’t sprint over to him, he actually did all the bowing and what not.

If you didn’t read the books you wouldn’t know that Draco is the most annoyingly smart and artistic little shit you’ve ever heard of. 

you also wouldn’t know that Harry was the only seeker who could beat him.

That he suffered from quite severe depression in book five. Quit Quidditch, stopped seeing his friends. He was depressed to the point of looking physically sick.

That when he confronted Dumbledore he said he had to kill Dumbledore because Voldemort had his family. Not because he was concerned for himself.

You wouldn’t know that he was the only person able to find a way into Hogwarts passed Dumbledores protection spells.

you guys also miss out on the fact that Draco brilliantly sneaks some polyjuice potion from a potions lesson so that he can transform Crabbe and Goyle into different girls all the time so that no one suspected they were up to anything while the two of them guarded the area outside of the room of requirement for Draco.

you guys don’t get to see how his “big bad slytherin buddies” actually tried to calm him down on the train when he was obviously anxious about the whole Voldemort thing. he even calmly laid in Pansy’s lap while she played with his hair.

you guys don’t know about Draco going to visit moaning Myrtle in her bathroom and how she admits that he opens up to her and how he’s sensitive and cries pretty often. and the whole fact that they’re friends.

you guys even miss out on the fact that Draco and Harry meet before they introduce themselves in the handshake scene while they’re being fitted for school robes in Diagon Alley, and Draco has a full conversation with Harry without even knowing who he is.

i don’t think you even get a glimpse of the fact that Draco always receives letters and packages of sweets and stuff from home while he’s away at school.

i also can’t stand the fact that they removed THIS SCENE and basically added the total opposite. how are you going to delete the best character development for Draco, and just make him weak? standing next to his fellow classmates and refusing to cross the courtyard when his family calls him, yelling “Potter!” when he realizes that Harry is actually alive and running towards him and throwing him a wand!! it’s the strongest, ballsiest, audience-mind-changingly scene possible, and they just throw it all away.

((sorry i’m just really salty about how he was portrayed in the movies ok))

I’m internally screaming because this is everything that needs to be known by all of those haven’t read the books and have the bALLS TO SAY THE MOVIES ARE BETTER
