HSS2 Contest - Q&A

The newest contest for the Hogwarts Sock Swap 2 is mine. I am doing a Q&A type of contest in an effort to aid communication between swap pals. Since tracking communication via email would be rather shady, the contest consists of some questions that everyone can answer by way of posting to their blog. Here are my answers:

What type of pet do you choose as your companion at Hogwarts?
I would certainly have to choose a cat for my companion since they are very intuitive and magical. Most likely my cat would be all black or dark gray.

While shopping in Hogsmeade you stop by Honeydukes for some sweets. What treats do you purchase for yourself?
Mmmmmmm... Honeydukes. I think I'd pick a fine selection of milk chocolate coated fruits and caramels.

A potion you are preparing needs an ingredient available only at muggle shops. You don't want to stand out in your wizards robes, so you resort to traditional muggle clothing. Describe your outfit in detail.
Since I spend far too much time in the muggle world, I have a fair selection of clothing that enables me to fit in when I need to go out. My ensemble would be a plain black or dark colored t-shirt or tank top, faded bootcut blue jeans and either a pair of casual sandals (Teva or Birkenstock) or sneakers (Vans).

What is your favorite subject to study at Hogwarts and why?
My favorite class would have to be Potions, partly because it is taught by that dreamy Professor Snape, but also because I love to experiment with making magical concoctions.

Likewise, what subject is your least favorite and why?
Ancient Runes. I never was very interested in learning scripts from ages ago.

Back to the potion you were shopping for ingredients for, what type of potion are you making, what color is it, what are the ingredients, and precisely what does the potion do?
My potion is Dulcis Perficio (Sweet Perfume), it is a deep golden amber color made from carefully blending patchouli, blood from a Peruvian Vipertooth Dragon, essence of golden honey, vanilla, and a drop of lavender. Just the tiniest amount applied in precise locations on the female body renders male wizards completely helpless to the wearer's charms. The male wizard will follow the potion's wearer about like a little lost puppy, and will remain under her spell until it is fully washed off the skin.

Your answers were really fun to read! I got a good giggle from your potion... hee. How sneaky! ;3 I also used lavender in my potion, as well!

Great contest idea!

There must be something truly magical about lavender - so many of us are using it in our potions!
