The Animagus Club

[shayuko.livejournal.com]

As the Animagus Board is slowly making progress working its way through the current applications, I think it's time to announce a new rule:

Before you apply to become an animagus, you have to buy the first 5 books of the Standard Book of Spells Series at hh_diagon.

Why? Well, becoming an animagus is *difficult*. Not just any first year student can become one. The books symbolize the years you spend at Hogwarts and having 5 of them means you're a 5th year student (in this club) and able to become an animagus.

So, off you go, earn knuts, buy the books, then apply!


Please fill out the application using the code below and add at the end =)

<textarea width="300" height="200"> <b>House:</b> <b>Best Trait:</b> <b>Worst Trait:</b> <b>What would you want your animal form to be most capable of?</b> <b>Choose one of the following -- Air, Water, Earth</b> <b>Warm or cool? </b> <b>Morning or evening?</b> <b>Do you like to have people around you or are you more of a loner?</b> <b>Please give an accurate description of your appearance; pictures are welcome!</b> <b>What are your favorite hobbies and extracurricular activities?</b> <b>Are there any animals that you feel drawn to or a connection with?</b> <b>Are there any animals you are afraid of?</b> <b>Why would you like to be an animagus?</b>

Please comment below (in screened comments) with your application, and we will get back to you within a few days. Please be detailed in your application. Same goes for this one as the one for platform_934: explain your answers. We have millions of animals to pick from, not just 4 houses, so help us out a little by giving a detailed application. Thank you!

Part 2

What are your favorite hobbies and extracurricular activities?
I love to read and write and chill out on the computer. Escaping from reality is really nice sometimes. I love drawing and playing around with making layouts and icons for LJ too. I'm in choir because I enjoy singing. I looove listening to music and hanging with my friends. I like being goofy...errr...even though that's not really a hobby. Shhh. I'm not really terribly athletic, so I'm not big on sports that much. I'm more of a watcher when it comes to sports, as I'm more into the arts.

Are there any animals that you feel drawn to or a connection with?
Cuddly animals like puppies and kitties and rabbits. Heh. There's just something about the closeness and affection when they're soft and comfortable. I like that cuddly and protective feeling. (Umm...I'm kind of repeating myself a lot...heh.) Like that feeling of unconditional love and loyalty, and there's just something about affectionate animals that nuzzle you that really get me.

Are there any animals you are afraid of?
I'm scared of snakes and things that sting...like bees...except bees are insects...but still. I'm scared of...err...really, really dangerous animals in general? And icky icky insects...and...jellyfish.

Why would you like to be an animagus?
Because not just anyone can do it. Because I've always liked animals. Sure, I grew out of my "omg!I-wanna-be-a-vet!" phase, but I still love animals and find the concept of animaguses (err, I guess that would be grammatically correct...?) to be interesting. Not to mention, there's no need to deny my fascination with the Marauders. :)

Congratulations! The Animagus Board has reviewed your application and considered it meticulously, and come to a decision about your Animagus Form. We find that your personality suits that of a/an...

Prairie Dog -- Prairie Dogs are the most social members of the Squirrel Family and are closely related to ground squirrels, chipmunks and marmots. Recent studies suggest that Prairie Dogs possess the most sophisticated of all natural animal languages. They apparently issue different sounds identifying various predators, which include hawks, owls, eagles, ravens, coyotes, badgers, ferrets and snakes. Prairie Dogs can run up to 35 miles per hour for short distances. The Prairie Dog has only one defense that works -- raising the alarm and disappearing quickly.

In order to complete your Animagus training, please submit a short essay (one page, double spaced length) on why you feel this animal compliments your personality to marije2308@yahoo.com . If you are not happy with the decision, please feel free to decline in a comment below. Once your essay is received, you will receive an official banner denoting your animal, and your name will be added to the Registered Animagus List. Thank you!
