Dreams and Ambitions: To meet J.K. Rowling and have a good laugh (and maybe be her Transcription Elf)
Admits to: Polishing my wands when my husband isn't looking (my best friend Claire is starting a support group for friends and family of "Harry Potter Freaks")
Harry Potter: More than anything else, and I'm not just saying this, I'm Hermione. My love for books and information puts me right in there with her. I even have the same crazy brown hair! Yeah, people weren't so fond of me when I was in elementary school. I was very intelligent and had an answer for everything. But just like Hermione, I grew out of that as I got older (including letting go of the goody-two-shoes side), although just like Hermione, it pops up here and there.
Dream Wizarding World Job: I'd work in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, level three of Ministry of Magic Headquarters. I would work my way up beginning with serving a term in the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad; be promoted to the Invisibility Task Force while serving as a second at the Obliviator Headquarters; and then finally end up as Senior Editor in the Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee where I would retire at a ripe, old age. My husband would probably be an Auror since he already is with our children (and yes, I believe they do a little bit of Dark magic here and there).
