Hello Blogger. It's been some time; I know. I apologize, for lack of material, but in my defense nothing of large importance, or interest has happened. Or nothing worth blogging for that matter.
In a sense I've been questioning who I am. Well.. not really who I am, but what I am. Actually no to be more clear, I've been fearing what/who I am. For years I've considered myself a Gryffindor ( I know what you're thing *blehhh omg Mimi and Harry Potter again*) but in all seriousness, as any Harry Potter fan, we've all sorted ourselves into houses at a young age, and have been dedicated to whichever particular house we believed to belong in. As a child, I always considered myself to be a Gryffindor for various reasons, but I also believed I had some strong Slytherin qualities. Some that could rival with the Gryffindor ones really, but in the end Gryffindor was the only one that seemed to fit. (Not even the fan-made 'Slythendor' seemed right). And I've been content with that.
But as any Potterhead would know, Pottermore is among us. When a person gains entry into Pottermore you get a wand given to you, and you 'go to Hogwarts' and get sorted. In that sorting, you're given a quiz, written by J.K Rowling herself, which would determine which house you belong to. After you are chosen into a house, that is it. There's no turning back. You must accept that house because it was designed for no mistakes. It is the ultimate sorting. Not some random online quiz where the answers are obvious.
What I'm fear is being told I'm not something I thought I was.
In my heart and mind I know I'm a Gryffindor. But what if that's otherwise? What if I'm a Ravenclaw? or worse a hufflepuff. (I mean no offense to Hufflepuffs, but I have very few hufflepuff traits that would just be a nightmare come true)
For example my Gryffindor traits that apply to me would include: 'Daring, Impulsiveness, Passion, Honesty, Loyalty, Impatience, Stubbornness, Nerve etc,
Slytherin: Ambition, Cunning, Shrewdness, Strong Leadership, Self preservation (sometimes) etc.
Ravenclaw: Creativity, Individuality, Intellect, and resourcefulness (which is also a Slytherin trait)
Hufflepuff: Loyalty. That's it.
In the end , when I've outweighed all these traits and qualities I've always felt like a Gryffindor. Always. I'm just afraid of 10 years of being a Gryffindor to just disappear. I'm just so proud if belonging in this house. ..but I guess I'll never know until I get sorted.
But I guess on the bright side, it's just like those kids in the books who wait years dreaming of hogwarts, waiting to get sorted, just like we're waiting. The same anticipation. The same curiosity. The same feelings.
I hope this whole Pottermore thing is all worth it.
