I was so excited when I found out about this site. I think I was reading in some interview or something with J.K. Rowling, and anyway, it was about if she liked Sirius or not. She was saying how he wasn't always the best person (or something like that, I dont' remember) ...and then said something to the effect of "they're probably sharpening their knives at Immeritus..." So that's how I found this site. It's like a dream come true for me - Sirius has always been my favorite by far. Anyway, I'd really like to be part of the club.

Wow, another one in a huge rush to join - 2 days and twenty posts? Not normally good, but in your case, not fatal, and I'll be glad to give you your questions.

1. Describe your reaction to finding out that Sirius Black was innocent, and your impressions and thoughts on the Shrieking Shack scene.

2. What characteristics does Sirius have that could have made him a Slytherin? Compare and contrast this with Harry's experience with the sorting hat. What qualities do you think overruled the hat's idea of putting him in Slytherin?

Those are your questions. Please use correct grammar and spelling at all times, and be creative. Use as much detail as you can, use quotes, scenes, examples, whatever you want. You may use books 1 through 6 in your answers. WRITE A LOT! WRITE A LOT! There's no such thing as writing too much. Let's put it like this: You haven't got a shot unless you write your heart out. If you take a peek at the notable applications topic in this forum, you’ll notice that there’s a wide range of acceptable essay styles and length (ranging anywhere from 500-10,000 words per question) aim for 500 words at a minimum per question – there’s no such thing as writing too much, but it is possible to not write enough. Most importantly, be creative, be thoughtful, be organized, and again, write as much as you can. Good luck, have fun, and enjoy the process of becoming one of the few who can call themselves a club member at Immeritus!
