The Magic Begins Challenge [✖] #27 Favourite Friendship : Golden Trio
"You said it once before," said Hermione quickly, "that there was time to turn back if we wanted to. We've had time, haven't we? We're with you whatever happens.” - Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince
The Magic Begins Challenge [✖] #26 A really emotional moment/scene
From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe; she landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office and soared out of the window. Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears. “After all this time?” “Always,” said Snape. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Ch 33 - The Prince's Tale
The Magic Begins Challenge [✖] #25 Favorite Class : Potions
"You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death—"
The Magic Begins Challenge [✖] #24 Scariest scene
"And then Harry saw them. Dementors, at least a hundred of them, gliding in a black mass around the lake toward them. He spun around, the familiar, icy cold penetrating his insides, fog starting to obscure his vision; more were appearing out of the darkness on every side; they were encircling them..." HP & The Prisoner of Azkaban Ch 20 - The Dementor's Kiss
The Magic Begins Challenge [✖] #23 Dumbledore’s Army? The Order of the Phoenix? or The Death Eaters?
The Death Eaters; "They were a motley collection; a mixture of the weak seeking protection, the ambitious seeking some shared glory, and the thuggish gravitating toward a leader who could show them more refined forms of cruelty."
The Magic Begins Challenge [✖] #22 Favourite patronus : Severus Snape's Doe
"Patronus forms, however, are subject to change if the caster goes through an emotional upheaval of some sort. Severus Snape, whose Patronus was that of a doe, the same as Lily Evans, though this may have been the case all along rather than a change from its original form, as Snape was in love with Lily for most of his life.."
The Magic Begins Challenge [✖] #21 Favourite Spell/Curse : Legilimens
"Legilimency is the act of magically navigating through the many layers of a person's mind and correctly interpreting one's findings. A person who practises this art is known as a Legilimens. Laymen sometimes refer to Legilimency as "mind-reading," but practitioners disdain this term as naive.."
The Magic Begins Challenge [✖] #20 Favourite Professor : Minerva McGonagall
"Well, usually when a person shakes their head, they mean 'no.' So unless Miss Edgecombe is using a form of sign language as yet unknown to humans -"

The Magic Begins Challenge [✖] #14 Favourite villain/anti-hero/antagonist : Severus Snape
"There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few..."
The Magic Begins Challenge [✖] #13 Favourite Wizarding Family : The Malfoys
“There are some wizards – like Malfoy’s family – who think they’re better than everyone else because they’re what people call pure-blood…”
The Magic Begins Challenge [✖] #12 Favourite canon ship/couple : Lucius/Narcissa
"I remember when I first met you, Narcissa," he'd said, his voice rough from being unused. "You looked at me in the darkness, like you are doing now, and you trembled in rage at the fate life had dealt you even though you tried so well to hide it. I wanted you then, you know. You were so beautiful that night, just as you are now -- so cold and furious. It is so easy to forget how ice can burn." [x]
The Magic Begins Challenge [✖] #11 A character death you wish didn’t happen : Sirius Black
"Sirius was a brave, clever, and energetic man, and such men are not usually content to sit at home in hiding while they believe others to be in danger." - Albus Dumbledore
