Maria Gaunt

Backstory

What Hogwarts House were you sorted into, and why did the Sorting Hat make that selection?
I was sorted in Gryffindor, but the Sorting Hat was confused, he was thinking I would be a good addition to Slytherin.

Were you a hat stall (where it took the Sorting Hat a long time to decide) or was the decision immediate? It took almost 10 minutes to decide.

What classes do (or did) you like the most? Which did you like the least? I love astronomy, charms, divination, muggle studies, and DADA, but I don't like History of Magic, Herbology, and Flying Classes (because I have fear of heights).

Any classes you did well in but didn’t particularly enjoy?
Potions and Transfiguration.

Are you a muggleborn, a half-blood, or a pureblood?
A pureblood.

How has your blood status affected your life in the Wizarding World?
Lots of people think I'm obsessed with blood status and pureblood supremacy, but I'm not.

If you were in the UK during either time He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named rose to power, what was that like?
I would be very scared, but I would know what's The right thing to do, fight against the dark lord.

What is your greatest strength?
I am very good at protection spells, I know How to defend myself, I would everything for My friends, and I know How to fight.

More importantly, what is your greatest weakness? My friends, My family, my arrogance.

What are you looking to do after you finish school?
I'll probably travel a lot and then maybe be an Auror or a professor.

If you’ve graduated, have you found your dream job? No, I'll only find out what I want after my trip around the world.

What do you feel is the most fascinating aspect of magic?
You can get and do anything you want very easily.

Do you want to use magic to help others, or to further your own ends?
Both, I want to help others but I also want to do things for myself.

If you are being honest with yourself, what do you really want?
I want to be free of money, a job, the Ministery of Magic.

Do you have any pets?
I have two cats and a dog.

What’s their name, and how do they act?
There's Dean, a Black cat, he's very calm, but he's just 3 months, só he's Just a baby. And I have Quinn, she"s 6 months, she is very agitated and likes to play a lot. The dog is Handsome Dan, he's 1 year old, he is quite lazy.

Is there anything interesting about your family? Any oddities or disagreements?
I'm a Gaunt, granddaughter of Morfin Gaunt, and Voldemort, Tom Riddle, is my second cousin. Se, my mom, my dad, my brothers and me, aren't very close to the rest of our family, because my father's mom is a dishonor to the Selwyn's, my father is a dishonor to the Gaunt's and my mom and my grandmother are a dishonor to the Black's, Just like me and my brothers and dishonors for all of them.
