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!

Application-Part 2

[masked-key.livejournal.com]

Since the other person can’t see me, I don’t have to nod my head and actually look like I find what they’re saying to be interesting. I’m not a bitch. Honest, I’m not. I just prefer my own company.
Please give an accurate description of your appearance; pictures are welcome! I’m pretty short: 5’4’’ and I’m slightly overweight though not fat, in my opinion (my clothes size ranges from size 10-14). I have hazel eyes and brown, Hermione-like hair. I have a round face, an upturned nose, and big lips (like Angelina Jolie’s but slightly smaller). I love my lips. I’m not tanned, but I’m not extremely pale either. I don’t think I’m attractive, but I don’t have to look at myself in the mirror all the time either.
What are your favorite hobbies and extracurricular activities? I like to read and go on the internet, and I like to do research. I often go through phases where I would be interested in this thing or that thing, and then I would go and read and find information on that topic. My latest interests are birds, especially cardinals. They make such a gorgeous sound in case you didn’t know. I also like to listen to music and daydream. I’m afraid I think more about my made up world and the characters and their lives than I do about myself and the real world.
Are there any animals that you feel drawn to or a connection with? I love cats and snakes. I think my love affair started because they had such a negative connotation. I especially like black cats, since they are associated with bad luck, and every time I would see one, I would be extremely happy. Cats are such gorgeous creatures, and the way they possess you as they rub against you is very beautiful. And I always feel honored when one lets me pet him or her. I also loved snakes ever since I heard about the garden of Eden. I think I’m one of the few people out there, who actually find some snakes to be cute. I remember two years ago going to the museum with my mom and older brother, and there was a small glass display of snakes there. You would have thought they were bunnies considering the way I acted: “Awww. They are so cuuute.” I love the way they move. It’s so erotic.
Are there any animals you are afraid of? Well, I would not want to be a bear or a tiger or a lion or any other animal that can kill and eat me in the wilderness. However, I am terrified of roaches. In the last house I lived in, I saw roaches couple of times there. After I saw one once, I was practically paranoid checking under the bed and in the bed and around the bed before I went to sleep. Why do I detest them this much? Because they are big, and they are nasty, and there was one apartment where I lived in, which practically every evening, they were everywhere. There would be about at least ten—if not more—on the kitchen wall, scurrying around, with their huge antennas. They all need to die.
Why would you like to be an animagus? An animagus form provides one with a mask—an ability to go about the world unnoticed. People do not believe animals are intelligent, so they tend to do and say things in front of animals that they would not in front of either people. By turning into an animal, I know how people really are. I would be able to explore and know and understand without any obstrusion.

FYI: The list of folks waiting for animagus is pretty long, as it had MANY folks waiting before we took over HiH. We're in the process of trying to revamp things at the moment and get a new board. Hopefully we'll be up and running again soon.
