01. Hermione Jean Granger --
"She's my mum, so naturally I love her. I would say I'm really close to her. When I was little she would tell me stories of her and dad, along with my Uncle Harry in order to get me to fall asleep. I always loved those stories and I knew one day I wanted to be like that. I wanted to be special and intelligent. I wanted to be strong and brave just like them. My dream was to be a Gryffindor like my parents were. It wasn't all fun and games though. You know, my mum was a bit uptight at times. Is that the right word? Maybe, maybe not. Basically she was the bossy sort. I mean, she was going to be that way whenever I did something wrong, but it was annoying at times. Still, she was my mother and I had a close bond with her that I believe will never falter. Sometimes I still imagine her telling me those stories at night to make myself fall asleep. I'd like to think I was like my mom now. I'd say I was pretty brave. I craved adventure and I tried to not let anything scare me. At least, if I was afraid I tried not to show it. Rules are kind of my thing as well. I don't like breaking them for some reason and I can be quite serious. Sometimes I see bad looks out of the corner of my eye when I'm the first to answer something. Guess I'm the new resident bossy know-it-all. But I promise I'm not as bad as my mother. My seriousness is starting to change a bit though, now that I'm in a relationship, but I'll get to that later. As for school my grades are above average like my mother's were, but it doesn't come easily. I study my ass off for the marks I have. It's not like I don't enjoy it though. It helps to be knowledgeable about things."[break][break]
02. Ronald Billius Weasley --
"Oh daddy dearest, how I love thee. Like my mother, I am quite close with my father. He's a goofball and despite my serious nature, I do enjoy his jokes, even when they're kind of stupid. Anyway,
he's got a warm nature about him that I love. I remember as a child watching them as they danced around the room, or he wrapped his arms around her as she cooked. Those moments always made me smile and I knew I wanted to be as in love as they were. I wanted a man that treated me like my father treated my mother. I would accept nothing less. Again, like my mother he could be annoying at times. Of course, all parents were like that, especially fathers when it came to boys. Every time I mentioned a boy in a letter home, he had some comment to make back to me. He was always telling me I wasn't allowed to date. Little did he know I had I think two boyfriends by my fifth year. I know that's not really a lot, but it was something and I never told him I was dating. With my new relationship, I fear my relationship might get a bit rocky once he finds out. Not just because of the fact I was dating, but because of who I was dating. I can see his face already. Not very pretty. I was born with red hair like my father. Yes, I was another ginger weasel, but oddly enough as I got older the red darkened into brown like my mother's. I am a bit like my father though. Even with the seriousness, I do at least try to loosen up sometimes. I crack jokes. Not that they're any good. Sometimes my friends just stare at me like I did something wrong. But it's whatever. I also have an awful fear of spiders. Well, insects as well, but mainly spiders. They're just so creepy. I won't go anywhere near one."

"He's my brother and I love him to death. Even though he's only two years younger than I am, I still consider him my baby brother. I'm pretty sure he hates me referring to him as such, but I can't help it. I am close to him as well. We used to play as kids. I liked to steal his toys and hide them from him. I know that was horrible of me. I remember a couple times when he was really little and he cried about it. I immediately felt bad and gave them back. I miss being young. We had such good careless times together. Now we're at Hogwarts and even though we're in the same house, I feel like we don't see each other much. He has his friends and I have mine. Not that I don't make time for him every now and then. I do. But it's hard. There's a lot going on, especially now that I'm a seventh year and to top it off, it's coming to an end. I have to work extra hard to make sure I finish strong. I'll always love my brother though and I know we'll always be close. If anyone ever hurts him, they'll have me to answer for. I might look fragile and I might not be a fighter at heart, but I would do anything for my family. Anything."

04. Simon Theodore Wood --
"He's my best friend and I've practically known him my entire life. Sure, his father was pretty much closer to Harry, but he was friendly with my father as well. We're the same age, so we've known each other since we were kids. Even then I thought of him as my best friend. We did everything together and still do. What's even better is he's in the same house as I so we're constantly seeing each other. It's amazing. He's amazing. I love the boy."

THREE CLASSES
01. Care of Magical Creatures --
"I absolutely love animals and Care of Magical Creatures would have to be my favorite class. It took me a while to figure it out, but I realized in my fifth year that I wanted to work with magical creatures. I wanted to help them and make sure they were protected. I know my mom was big on helping as well, seeing as she worked in the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Well, that's what I want to do when I graduate. I want to work in that department at the Ministry. Maybe I'll go on to do other things, but as of right now, that's where my heart lies."

02. Defense Against the Dark Arts --
"I'd have to say Defense Against the Dark Arts is probably another favorite of mine. The teacher creeps me out sometimes with his teaching methods, but I know deep down there has to be a "method to his madness". Whatever it is, he at least keeps it interesting, despite some of the things I disagree with. But aside from that, I really like learning about the dark arts. I know that sounds bad, but it's interesting. I would never do any of those horrible spells unless absolutely necessary, but learning it is helpful. I also enjoy the dueling part of it. Not only participating sometimes, but watching it gives a rush as well. I don't know. I'm just a weird person I suppose."

03. Potions --
"I enjoy Potions, I do, but it's not my strongest class. I still have pretty decent grades and I still like to learn about it, but unfortunately I got my father's talent when it comes to this class. The professor is really nice though and she helps me out when I need it, so it's not so bad. I just wish it didn't come as a challenge for me. I really want to be good at it. Maybe I'll surprise myself on my final."

TWO HOBBIES
01. Reading --
"One of my favorite pastimes is reading. I absolutely love it. If my nose isn't in a book, there's probably something wrong with me. It doesn't have to be something educational either. I love all types of books, especially the ones that can just take you away to far off places or help you escape from whatever you're going through."
[break]
02. Running --
"It might sound weird, but I actually like to run. It's something to do and it makes a person feel good. Not to mention, I liked to stay active instead of being a lazy couch potato all the time. I wasn't one to stay still for too long, so it helped me get out some of my excess energy as well as keep me in shape for my summer ballet classes. Couldn't let that go. I've worked too hard."

ONE FEAR
01. Water --
"I suppose this is more of a stranger fear than someone would expect from me. But it's true. I'm afraid of large bodies of water. I don't swim anymore because of an incident that occurred my first year here at Hogwarts. I wasn't the most popular my first year. I was kind of a geeky little dork girl. Kind of awkward too until I grew out of it and got some style. Anyway, I was down by the lake when a couple of Slytherins decided to throw me in. I wasn't expecting it, so naturally a panicked. My foot caught on something under the water and I ended up blacking out from lack of breath. I woke up the next day in the hospital wing. Ever since then, I haven't gone near pools or the lake. Any large body of water that could cause another incident. I don't completely avoid the lake though. I like to sit a distance away for the scenery and to find some peace and quiet, but my sitting spot is pretty distant from the lake."

"I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love." -- Marilyn Monroe
