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 =)

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!

Application Part One

[intotheheart.livejournal.com]

Here's my expanded application.

House: Gryffindor

Best Trait:
Loyalty. Not only do I love my friends and family to death, but I love my campers to death. I want to teach and show everyone their possibilities. In some ways this used to be one of my weaknesses as well, but as I grow older I have more ... control ...over who I'm loyal to and the limits of my loyalty. To those who deserve it (I know that sounds snootish but there are really people out there who I've loved who don't deserve it), they will have my loyalty until the ends of the world.

Worst Trait:
Defensive/Stubborn. Seriously. You don't want to cross me if I'm angry. I'm very quick to make assumptions about people, especially if they're crossing me or my family in any way. And even if it turns out that they're right (or even if they aren't but just won't admit it), I stick to my guns no matter what, and it can come off as pretty rude and selfish sometimes.

What would you want your animal form to be most capable of?
Love... haha I know that's kind of silly. But I put this on my old application, and I still stand by it. But I'll also include something more realistic (and I'm wording it according to the animal world). Instilling feeling into someone through my voice. Whether it is sadness, hope, longing... if I can't love, I want to make those who can hear feel, because without feeling we're nothing. I've always secretly wanted to sing. (But I'm going to do the second best thing with my voice and teach.)

On a less serious note, flight would also be kinda cool.

Choose one of the following -- Air, Water, Earth:
Well, right now (end of summer) my choice would be water. I love the feeling of water beneath my toes, or swimming in a lake. This summer I worked at a day camp and had no time off given. So in the past when I've been able to spend a week or more at my cottage, recently I haven't been able to and I miss it like the dickens. I also live in Kingston during the school year and I'm right on Lake Ontario ... and walking down the street towards my house on a sunny day with the water in front of me ... it is just one of my happy secret places that can always make me feel SOMETHING. Even frozen water... if you've ever seen a frozen lake on a sunny winter's day, you'd understand.

Warm or cool?
Cool. Well. Moderately cool :) I really don't like sticky humid weather. I like 25 degrees (CELCIUS), with a nice cool breeze. I'm one of those people who would rather freeze to death than burn.

Morning or evening?
Mornings. Seeing the sunrise, life waking up (whether in the city or country!) It's just a magical time of day. I also chose morning because there's so much you can accomplish if you're a morning person ... otherwise half of the day can go by on you. When I had the choice (and I rarely had the choice) between the 7:30AM shift and the 9:30AM shift I'd always choose 7:30.

Do you like to have people around you or are you more of a loner?:
I'm not really super social. I love having family around me, or young kids (or a boyfriend when I had one). But I was never really one for partying with friends... I'm just more of a relaxed person, I guess. Okay. So yes. Relaxed people can be social too. I tend to feel uncomfortable with people I don't trust. So as a reference to the animal kingdom, packs of animals generally have to trust eachother because they rely on eachother for necessities ... and I'm sort of a little bit of both. Sometimes I need company, but I don't need a flock to keep me happy, and I'd rather be able to survive independantly.

Please give an accurate description of your appearance; pictures are welcome!
