Personality: I am a bit of a hard person to get to know and have a dark humor. I have a lot of walls ever since my father died. However, once you break down those walls I am loyal to the end and can become quite warm-hearted. The people that I care about I hold close and don't let go.



I was sorted into Slytherin and I am content with my sorting. Yes, it came at a bit of a shock at first since the rest of my family had always been sorted into a Ravenclaw, we even thought it might be a mistake. But eventually, I came to realize why I was sorted into Slytherin. I figured out that I can be quite calculating and even deceiving if I need to, but at the same time I can be a leader. My favorite class is definitely defense against the dark arts. When I grow up I wish to be an Auror and I have always been very passionate about it. I think that Auror’s play a huge part in keeping order and mastering the defense against the arts class is my first step. My least favorite class is transformation. I find it very boring since it is always similar to one another. I mean I did decent in the class but didn’t necessarily like it, actually I grew a strong dislike for the class. Now, moving on, I know this sounds typical for a Slytherin, but I am a full-blood. My father passed away not too long ago and my mother inherited a ton of money. I know father probably got some benefits from being a full-blood. I was only two when He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was defeated so I hardly remember anything about it. My greatest strength is charms. I don’t know why but the moment I stepped into that class, I always had a knack for it.More importantly, my greatest weakness is herbology. I feel like anything I touch in that class just dies or worse I ruin assignments for other people and myself all the time. I’ve always found magic fascinating. How endless the possibilities are and how many different things it aids. It saves lives, cleans houses, and there’s literally a whole world of that magic influences. I mentioned before that I wish to become an Auror and yes of course I want to do that to benefit others. I have one giant black dog named Ember and she can be quite mean to others she doesn’t know. But to me, she is the most kind and loyal dog I have ever encountered. Now for my family. I loved my father with everything in me but he came with many mysteries. He tended to be quite secretive and when he died the hoards of money that was left to my mother and I was more than a bit sketchy. After he died the house became very quiet. My family grew apart and me and my mother continually got into heated arguments. That’s why I’m excited to be at Hogwarts. It will be a breath of fresh air and I can’t wait to experience it.
