Five Questions Meme

[birdsofshore]

I stole this from     ginger_veela

Hello, friends new and old. This is a meme so we can get to know each other a bit better (and, if last night was anything to go by, so that I have something entertaining to read at 4 am :-/) Come and comment here and I will ask you FIVE EXCITING FANDOMMY QUESTIONS. Probably. I might just ask dull stuff about your favourite cheese, or nosy things about your sex life

Or, if you are feeling shy, or are naturally the inquisitive type yourself, you can ask ME five questions.

IT'S VERY EXCITING. We can pretend we are in the Slytherin Common Room playing Truth or Dare. WHO'S GOING TO BE FIRST?

Oohh, hello there. :)

I would like to play if you'll have me.

Of course! Thank you for playing!

1) Do you wear perfume? If so, which one? If not, why?

2) Name one canon ship that you love, and one that you hate.

3) If you could have either X-ray eyes, or the ability to detect lies, which would you choose? And why?

4) Who is your favourite female HP character, and why?

5) Which member of the Weasley family can you most identify with?

1. I do! Oscar, by Oscar de la Renta. I've used it for at least the last 8 years. I like it because its fragrance is very delicate.

2. Harry/Luna. Is that even canon? No, I don't suppose it is, but in so many ways JKR wrote Luna to fit perfectly with Harry that part of me always suspected she meant for them to be together and the whole Fairy Tale idea of Harry in love with his best mate's little sister won. As we established it doesn't count, I suppose it'd be Luna/Rolf. I know next to nothing in canon about Rolf but it's a ship I ship when it comes down to it. I love reading them together.

I don't really hate any pairings, but Harry/Ginny is the one I am most reluctant to read. Obviously I've read many stories in which Harry and Ginny are together, but inevitably they end up apart. I imagine, know, actually, there are great stories in this ship, but it's really not my cup of tea. It's not a ship I'd spontaneously read.

3. I don't know. My first instinct is to say the ability to detect lies, but part of me thinks people are entitled to keep their secrets and lies until they are ready to tell you and part of me is afraid of what I'd find out if I could. The x ray thing, I dunno. Would I be able to see people without their clothes on, or more like airport x ray? ;) At any rate, I don't think I want x ray vision. I reckon it'd give me a headache. ^^

4. Luna, ♥ for sure. She's a very gentle character, you know what I mean? She doesn't push to be in the spotlight and I don't think she'd want to. She's smart and knows more than she lets on. She's brave, loyal and very strong. I think she's one of the best female characters in the whole series. Though McGonagall is a very close second!

5. I think it'd be Ron, particularly about confidence. I can be so self-conscious and insecure to the point that while trying to hide it I came across as arrogant in turn, and I know it and hate it.


Thank you for letting me play. <3

Loved reading your answers! I agree I originally thought Harry and Luna would end up together. To me that would be such an achingly romantic pairing, and very satisfying for them both. I like Luna / Rolf, too. Luna has just such romantic potential ♥

I agree it would be scary to know when people were lying. And scary to see through people's clothes, let's face it!

Thank you for playing, this was such a fun way to get to know people a little better.
