State your full name. Sookie Stackhouse.

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite? What? I guess cheddar, because it tastes good. I don't know! What kind of question is that anyway?

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop? I don't really want to kill anyone really.

3. What time is it where you are? 5 pm

4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black. Uh, Creepy much? I wouldn't do that to anyone! It's creepy and wrong. Even if I did why would you want to know the details of something like that anyway?

5. If you are pushing to be in:

A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.
Don't know how witty it is, but I used to work at Merlotte's?

B. Gryffindor – Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument. Look, I don't even know these people, who they marry ain't none of my business that's for sure.

C. Ravenclaw – You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it. I don't know! Sounds to me like someone around there is lazy and keeps putting it there for you to do.

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless. Well, no one is useless. Everyone has some kind of use, they just have to find it and apply themselves.

6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe. Do not threaten us rather than offering a bribe. A threat indicates you either don't really want to be here, or don't have enough sense to answer the question properly. The hat will automatically squib you, regardless of other votes, if you do.
I've got cookies and I think a zip lock baggy with some beef jerky, I think I also have a can of pop too.

Sookie winced at seeming to have irritated Diana. " I just meant as in lucky in the sense that people know and understand about that." she looked to her. " I couldn't imagine being used like that." she said keeping her voice calm.

" No, I don't think I do." she said relaxing a bit as Diana seemed to calm" Yeah, I only met one other who had it too and he wasn't to willing to sit and talk about it."

"You don't have to worry about it here, but if you ever go back, watch for it," she said, wild-eyed. "When they find out, they'll come in the night, when you can't hear them coming. It starts small and if you let it, eventually your time will end up like mine, with espers in chains. Get in the first hit and hit them hard. Got it? Make sure they know you won't be pushed around."

She looked a little worried, whatever this lady had been through, it had to have been horrible. " Hey, we have each other here now, right?" she said in an attempt to try and give a little comfort to the other. " I know we just met and all but still." she said. " I will be careful if I go back. There are a lot of things I gotta watch for anyway."

"Lesson number one: you don't have anyone but yourself. Even in the most clandestine underground resistance, people can be broken, plants, or sleeper agents. Ever battled your own subconscious? It's not pretty." Diana unclenched her fists. The bad old days were over, and there were no signs that they would start up again here. And if they did... well, she was here too, with enough of Jenny Psycho left in her to do some damage.

She forced a smile. "It's pretty good here at Hogwarts, though. Nobody's bothered me yet."

" That sounds awful lonely." spoken with a slight bit of a sympathetic tone. " Not havin anyone at all." though she could understand what Diana was saying.

" That's good. You can gather your bearings and cut back just a little bit that way."

"You can get used to anything if the alternatives are worse." There was no self-pity in her voice, or anything but blunt matter-of-factness.

"Anyway, you should get voted somewhere. Has anyone bothered explaining how things work here to you?"

" True enough, doesn't make it any more easy though." she blinked a bit.

" Not yet, I've been kind of winging it."

She snorted. Being alone was easy. It was the learning how to be alone part that was hard.

"Right. There's eight different houses here. Think of them like... team assignments, except as far as I've seen, there's not many team activities to be found." Diana frowned thoughtfully, looking Sookie up and down, and added, "You're probably only interested in four of them. To wit: Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw. The theory goes that they're divided by some kind of primary characteristic of a person, like loyalty, bravery, cunning, or intelligence. It doesn't really seem to work out that way in practice. The one who actually gets the last word is a hat. An actual talking hat. I'm crazy, but I can say that with a lot of backing up. So really, if you just like how one house's name sounds more than another, it's as good a method of picking as any." She jutted her chin out, sharp blue eyes never leaving Sookie's face. "So what's it going to be?"

Sookie looked thoughtful a moment. Hufflepuff to her sounded like it was another name for a blowfish, or maybe a blowfish with a bad attitude. That image was one that made her brow arch a little. Gryffindor, put her in mind of a Gryffin, which was probably a little of the intent behind the name she figured. Slytherin, slithering...and thus a snake. Ravenclaw didn't sound too bad, unless you're the raven with a clipped claw. She blinked a bit, from her thoughts.

" I guess Ravenclaw, doesn't sound too bad."

"Why the hell not." Diana cast her vote, and gave Sookie a half-smile. "There's a bar there. House for smart people and alcoholics of varying functionality, it seems."

" I know a few of those, functioning alcoholics that is. Not always the brightest bulbs on the tree but..." she shrugged a bit " Nice enough, mostly."

" You've been a big help, I don't want to forget to thank you for that. So, thank you." spoken with a pretty honest smile.

"You're welcome." She nodded, patting her pocket. "And thanks for the cookies. Don't let them see you sweat."
