This was it. And a hat was now talking inside her head. So her siblings weren't pulling some inside joke on her, good to know.
Choose a root vegetable: horseradish, celery, potato, beetroot.
What a peculiar question. Was it for taste or practicality? Her main thought was practicality, at any rate. "Potato. They always seem the most filling in an empty belly."
You rush onto Platform 9 3/4 a second too late and see the Hogwarts Express pulling away from the platform. Your family members have already gone. What do you do?
Well that was certainly a far different question. One that would have sent ice cold panic through her. What was to be done? "Floo! To Hogsmeade, wherever I could find some. The express picks students up there I believe, or it could even lead to a walk up to the school."
Amortentia, felix felicis, wit-sharpening potion, calming draught, invisibility potion, elixir to induce euphoria. Which of these potions would you choose and why?
