| | | D.A Forever (by griffin_girl) I (griffin_girl) am in RED and Grace [D.A Forever] is in BLACK. Amaaaziiing Grace, how sweet the sound... 
Oh shoot. Wrong intro.
Take two: Hey, Grace! I've come to interview you! LOL! Hi! XD Lovely intro! haha. Oh, haha thanks. xD
So, let's start shall we? Why don't you give us a mini-background? Hah, okay Mini-background…about me, right? Yes. Okay, well for start's my name is Grace, but most call me Gracie (amongst many different insane nicknames). I'm sixteen, at the moment. I have four pets (two cats, and two dogs) all of which are completely out of they're minds.
Uhm.. haha *so can't think of anything interesting* I'm an only child, so SS really makes up for the quietness. XD Insane nicknames are the ones that are most fun. But just out of curiosity, insane nicknames like what? 
Oohh! Pets. Any of them named after an HP charrie? The one time I wanna come up with all the craziest ones my mind goes blank. So evil. Haha, uhm well there's.. Gravy, Grape.. (Yeah, see the food pattern is rather scary *hides*) Foofoo, 'Mummy', GwaGwa, Quad #3, Gracestopper, Goosie, Lil' Elephant, Squirrely.. Uhmm.. haha. Oh, Lady Gracie, as well. XD
Unfortunately no, not yet. *giggles* One of the dogs was named when I was four, so ... no HP then (or not that I knew of at the time) and then the other dog was already named, and my mum named one of the cats. The other cat, well … his name is self-explanatory to him. XD
But I've been trying to talk my parents into getting another pet so we'll see. Gracie has a food theme going on. Sweet! 
A potentially HP named pet -- we'll be awaiting that. 
You mentioned you were an only child -- that doesn't really stop you from spreading the HP craze does it? Oh no! Not at all. LOL. I am an only child, but I have a big extended family. I've gotten a little cousin of mine really into HP, and another likes it as well but prefers Star Wars. *shakes head* XD Good, good. Oh, poor baby. Your cousin is missing out on the magical force of HP!
And now that we're in the subject of HP, tell us, when did a Mr. Potter crash a broom into your life? When did I discover HP, or..? Haha, sorry. Gracie is slightly slow sometimes. yuppers! 
Sorry … I just like to come up with weird questions … be all Rita Skeeter and stuff. LOL! No no don't apologize. I thought that's what you meant, but I also thought maybe it was a different question. It's best I ask.. rather than confusing us both. XD
Anyways, ahh. I wish I remember exactily when and how ... but I think it was the first HP movie, that introduced me to the magical world. Oh okay then. 
Yes, it's a strange thing. Once you're exposed to even the teensiest bit of HP, it's difficult to get out! Yes! I don't think there is an escape button. Indeed! But then, who would want to escape? The Harry Potter world is too fascinating to give up. I agree completely! Other than your cousins, who else have you convinced to go Potter? I haven't, I'm afraid. My friends and I all became fans together. But now, I'm the only one left. *rolls eyes* Aww. That's alright. It's their loss anyway. Besides, since we are crazed fans, we can be total Potter nerds and Accio them! LOL! So true. Good point! What's your favorite HP book and movie? My favorite book is OotP, and my favorite movie by FAR is PoA. Oooh! OoTP -- hint hint at why her username is D.A Forever. 
Any favorite characters and the reason they're your faves? LOL. Very right. XD
I have alot of favorites, but the tippy-top three would have to be Hagrid, Dumbledore and the twins ( They count as one! XD).
The twins, because A) they're Weasleys and B) they're redheadeds. XD Haha, nah, just kidding. The twins would have to be because they made a brilliant team together, they always worked more as one person than two (or at least that's how I've always seen them). They were always on the same page as one another. I liked they're connection and bond, and I've always loved the entire Weasley family. Them, particularly because no matter what the situation they could find that little ray of sunlight for motivation to make it fun and amusing in whatever they could; they always had fun, and made that work for them.
Dumbledore.. Oh goodness. That's so hard to explain, I've tried multiple times and I can get the stuff floating around my head to type out right. XD
Dumbledore has always (ever since the first movie, since I saw up to the 4th before reading the books) interested me. He always knew stuff without being told. He was also very wise and, once I read the books, I adored him even more. It made total sense as to why he is the way he is. He's made mistakes like anyone else, he's done things he regrets but all he can do is try being better.
And for Hagrid, my most favorite at all *squishes him in a hug* because he is HAGRID. He is THE gentle giant, he thinks dangerous creatures that want to harm him and others are just misunderstood! I adore him so very much. Hagrid is amazing. Hagrid and DD are always favorites! The twins! They are two mischievous cuties. Chyeah!! *secretly swoons* Moving along, when and how did you catch the SnitchSeeker bug? My most favorite day of all! Hehe. It was a loooovely day in August, August 9th to be exact of 2006. *thinks back fondly*
Actually, I found SS less than a year (I think) before I joined. So I joined in August, but I viewed the site as a guest since probably the previous summer. I found SS through another HP site, SS was mentioned on a news thread. So you were a lurker! You were just a guest for about a year. Haha … my first year, I wasn't that active in the forums because I used to live in the SS chat … a different kind of lurking, but still. LOL.
So how long have you been on SS? I was! I stalked fanfics for months and months, which helped greatly to take care of my boredom! After awhile I couldn't not join, I just had to comment on a certain few FFs. 
I've been on SS for two years and two months in two days. Ah, yes. We have brilliant writers residing in the Gringott's Vaults of SS. And I happen to know that you have quite a few FFs here yourself.
Woah! Way to keep count! LOL. XD *loves SS*
*giggles* I do. I'm not confident in my writing, but with friends encouraging and poking me to post them I gave in. Two SS RPG diaries, one for my current character for Hogwarts and the other is my next character. Then a FF thread that I share with three other girls I'm uber close to; the thread has many different made-up character one-shots (we call them Ficlets, because it sounded better with the title. XD) and then another that's an actual more 'regular' FF I'm working on. A busy writer, that you are! Perhaphs to follow in J.K.R.'s footsteps? In my dreams maybe. LOL!
Ah no, really it's just because my imagination has no off switch. XD Hey, you never know! It would be a lovely idea! But, I can't see it happening.
I don't think I would have enough patience to sit and write a book. XD Never give up! Keep on writing. A brilliant literary artist named Gene Fowler once said "Writing is easy. All you have to do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead." It's really one of my favorite quotes. Woah! Hehe. I've never heard of that before, but I like that quote. Yes, it's very inspiring and encouraging, especially to young writers. I agree. Let's talk about your current character, Savannah. She's the Huffie Prefect, right? Any luck in putting miscreants in their place? LOL. She is. *nodnod* Haha! At this moment I'm drawing up blank on any students that may have given her a little trouble, aside from trying to argue back when she told a few students to settle down during the separating into different carriages last term. Any other situations she's handled without issues. Woah. Then she must be one strict prefect. People know not to cause trouble or mess with her when she's around town! xD GO SAVANNAH! Hahaha! She may be a little strict. She's very careful not to be mean, just get the point across. However, when it comes to a good friend breaking rules or causing problems she is strict and to the point about it (because, naturally, she would expect better). No favoritism. How gallant of her.
Now, we all know how hard core HP fans can behave you ever been to any of the midnight parties and own like a million HP merchandise? No, I haven't. I've tried to get my mum to take me but no go. XD Parents. Some of them just don't understand how crucial it is that we be there! And HP items? I have a couple of things. *giggles* Time Turner, snitch.. and nothing else comes to mind except the books and movies.
Yes! Honestly, they just don't understand the importance of these events. You have the Time Turner? I am so jealous. Bwaha, yes. My friend got it for me for my last birthday. Oh, how sweet! 
Okay, so it's almost time to wrap things up. But for my very last question, I like to ask something very very random. Haha, okay. Random Question: If you were to discover a new magical creature, what would it look like and what would you call it? Uhhhm. It would look like a (human) baby, but looks can be deceiving; it would climb and swing from tree's like monkeys do, and it would purr like felines when it's happy, and growl like a dog when it's mad.. and *thinks* and I would name it Dabu. Okay, no no. someone might bite me for that I would name it ... wait no, yeah. I'd name it Dabu. XD LOL. LMFAO. Interesting magical creature! What would it's magical properties be though? To hypnotize people, and control them once they're in a trance. Excellent. Isn't it? as long as I'm the owner, I'm not worried Very sneaky, Gracie. 
Well, that's all the time we have for tonight! Thanks for letting me interview you, Grace, and for not spazzing out due to utter randomness. 
Now, I must go and try to get more than four hours of sleep. xD LOL! Good idea. And thank you for interviewing me. It was fun! Sleep well! <3 |
