What was the one moment at Hogwarts where you felt happiest?

Jenna James: Last year, During the last Quidditch match, as a Slytherin Prefect and Co-captain of the team, we secured our victory and held the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup for the first time since the school was rebuilt.

Darcie Dracel: Oh Good Merlin… When the Dark Lord didn’t kill me in his lair back in the Forbidden Forest and let me go with only two acid splashes to the face and a bout of the nightmare curse?

Kiara Draten: Probably at one of the oh-so-infamous Hufflepuff sleepovers. It was probably some of the funnest times I had here at Hogwarts, when I was able to let loose, and goof off with the others in my house.

How would you describe your personality when you first arrived at Hogwarts? How is it different than now? In what other ways have you changed?

Cassandra Kilsby-Steele: When I first arrived, I was unsociable apart from to those I knew very well. As it is, the fact remains true, but I simply have had more chances to meet new people. I don't often get along with people younger than me, yet the vast majority of the school is so, and being Head Girl requires one to talk with the rest of the school, for better or worse.

DD: When I first arrived to Hogwarts I was quiet, reserved and focused upon my studies as I got to know my fellow students slowly. Second year was when I went through metamorphosis and became what I am today, overly-confident, domineering, and indecisive all while still focusing on my studies though. One doesn’t pass 9 OWLs with a low or average amount of intelligence.

JJ: Despite popular opinion, I believe I have grown a great deal as a person in my time at Hogwarts, I have something of a reputation for hexing students to the hospital wing, and inflicting a great deal of cruelty on those around me. If one were to check their records, it would be noted that I have not been responsible for a student's placement in the Hospital wing since my third year. And that was inside the dueling chamber. I'm afraid people's imaginations seem to run away with them quite a bit in a magical world such a ours. Although, I do admit, these assumptions by the general population have always served my purpose of keeping a great deal of the students out of my hair, so I have done nothing to correct these misinterpretations.

What was your best subject?

KD: My best subject has always been Muggle Studies. It just fascinates me that there is a study of human beings that aren't magical, and I can easily relate to it.

JJ: Potions and/or Herbology, I also excel at Defense Against the Dark Arts... surprising no?

CKS: Potions. I simply enjoy the atmosphere of the class. And Defense.

What was your reaction when you became a prefect?

JJ: At first I was surprised, then after taking a look around, I realized there weren't many students to choose from.

CKS: Quite surprised, seeing as I though that the two Prefects would be my two best friends Alison Fitcher and Morgana Soulfire, but I got the position instead of Morgana. Also, I was the youngest in my year and wondered in someone older would be more adequate. Keep in mind that I was the first generation of Prefects, and it was my second year.

KD: I was actually stunned. I mean, when I heard there were going to be Prefect titles given out, I wanted it so badly... so I strived to do better and stand out, and it payed off. I was eager to start with more responsibilities, and excited to share it with other students.

Who were your most significant relationships with at Hogwarts? How did these relationships affect you?

JJ: I have two best friends, Calypso Cronus, and Cassie Kilsby-Steele. They've kept me sane.

CKS: Jenna James has kept me sane thorugh the years and Cassivellaunus Cronus has made sure that it's not too sane.

DD: There is only one individual that I can clearly mark as my enemy, my archenemy, and that is Jenna James. The reasons for the development of the hatred are rather fuzzy but I do know it occurred when I was ousted during my second year. Slytherin was a divided nation at that point, but honestly, I couldn’t tell you why she got so bitter and pissed over the incident. Anyway, I find her someone to constantly strive to be better than and that’s enough for a rivalry.

JJ: Enemies... well there's one person the entirety of the wizarding world probably knows about. Darcie Dracel. A rival ever since she was kicked out of Slytherin in our first year. The details are private, I'm sure you'll understand. However, for a time she did make me become a better dueler... out of the necessity I seem to have for keeping my scalp attached to my head.

What are you planning on doing when you leave Hogwarts?

KD: To tell you the truth, I really want to get into a muggle studies type of career. At first, I wanted to be on top, I wanted to work in the Ministry of Magic, in a muggle division. However, after thinking long and hard about it, I would be much happier to work here, at Hogwarts, maybe as a possible Muggle Studies professor in the future.

DD: I aspire to further my dueling career to become a dueling master and to return to Hogwarts to be a dueling officiator and aid students in learning the sport. There is also a tinge of want to get married one day and pass on my magnificent genes. Wouldn’t want all this to go to waste would you?

CKS: Go home to China and live off the family money.

If you could go back in time and change one thing about your years here, what would it be and why?

DD: Honestly…I would have to say I’d go back to second year and control myself better than I had. It’d change the course of lots of things but I could live without the infamy, I think.

KD: I am sort of restating something I've already touched on, but I wish I could go back to my second year, and just live life a bit more as a child, instead of jump-starting into adulthood. I also rebelled a bit in my second year, and nearly lost the Prefect title I worked so hardly on getting. So I think going back and correcting a few mistakes in my second year would make me more happier in the present time.

JJ: I'd say it comes down to a tie between two events. One, the most recent, being a potions lesson in which Dracel messed up a simple potion and turned my hair blue... for which i have not, as of yet, found a cure for... and it has not worn off.

The second, being an occurrence in my third year. Auror Trimble, then 'professor', warned me of a horrendous detention if I were to send one more student to the hospital wing as a result of a duel in the chamber. Being a bit on the rebellious side, and never one to be partial to aurors, I pushed the limit a tad far with the hospitalization of one Sariss Ravon. My sentence? To scrub bedpans in the Hospital wing with a toothbrush, no magic, and wearing the ugliest candy-striper's uniform you've ever seen.

Yes, I would definitely go back and change that one.
