Pallas Night

Backstory

I was sorting into the Gryffindor house after some debate on whether I should be in Ravenclaw, but I'm not entirely sure why the Sorting Hat made that selection. I'm not very brave and believe strongly in education and being uniquely yourself as a person, but I do have a strong belief in chivalry. This could be it, but I'm sure I'll find out with the years to come. I haven't started classes yet, but the classes I think I'll like are Defense against the Dark Arts, Potions, and Charms. The classes I think I'll like the least are Transfiguration and Divination (when I manage to get to this course). I am a muggle-born wizard. It makes me nervous sometimes what kind of reception I will get from people when I tell them. It's so hot and cold, meaning some people will love me and accept that part of me while others (whom I may have known for years) will throw me to the curb for it. I've seen so many people get bullied for it, including myself. A part of me wishes that someone would come up with some form of Muggle-born anthem that we could use anytime someone gets bullied, but I haven't met anyone who has done it yet.

I was not in the UK when He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named came into power. I was in the United States and, while we heard a lot of terrible rumors along the lines of mass murder and torture, I cannot identify too much. My parents mainly kept me inside and told me to tell them if I heard something strange. The clock was always switching from a Level 4(Danger) to a Level 6(Emergency) in the MACUSA office, but I personally think that Level 4 has a hoax and it was always on a Level 6. They just didn't want to scare people.

My greatest strength, I think, would be protection. I will always protect those that I care about, even if that's from myself. My greatest weakness would probably be a lack of trust. I generically don't trust people because I don't like getting hurt or vice versa. It takes years before I can completely give someone my trust, and I don't like people who can just automatically get it. I need to have several reasons to trust a person. After I finish school, I am unsure of what I'll do. I'll either be an Auror or care for magical creatures.

The most fascinating thing about magic is its complexity. There are so many things people don't know about it, and it caters differently to many people. I would prefer for magic to help others first, especially if there is a bad situation going on. I would never use magic to achieve success or manipulate other people because that means that I didn't achieve because of my hard work and/or character. That doesn't mean that I wont light up a room to finish reading a chapter of book after curfew or something.

I don't know what I really want out of live right now. The best I can say is that I want to learn about myself, other people, and the magic that surrounds every single one of us. I want to take stupid risks and see how they play out in front of me. Then, maybe one day, I'll know.

My family has an Owl named Paz, who can sometimes be a bit of a brat, but has always been loyal. We have a lot of twins as well, but that's the best I got for anything abnormal.
