Ah yes, who doesn't remember reading Goblet of Fire and thinking, "Wow, I wish I could take part in those death-defying challenges!" Well, dear reader, there is no challenge more horrific and terrifying than that of careful dressing, clumsy dancing, and forced politeness: yes, the Yule Ball is back in town! Find out here which champion you most resemble and discover how your Yule Ball experience would have gone. Sláinte!
1. The night of the Yule Ball has finally arrived -- you must have been planning your outfit for weeks! So tell me: what are you going to wear?
A. Just something simple yet elegant.
B. "What are you talking about? I'll just wear whatever my parents packed for me."
C. Flairs! Extravagance! The most beautiful outfit you can find, complete with matching accessories. You're going to look prettier than a Veela-Lockhart hybrid!
D.The same outfit as your friends -- why would anyone want to stand out from the crowd?
2. It's
A. Whatever your date has -- you don't want them to feel left out, after all. (Isn't that a bit of an overkill?)
B. Your favourite dish on the menu: something filling to make you forget about the horrific torture you're about to endure.
C. Just something small -- you don't want to overdo it if you're dancing later! Plus, if you eat too much, your outfit might get a little on the tight side.
D. Everything, and you're going to eat it all faster than a magically-enhanced Crup. You need all the energy you can get!
3. The music starts up (*gulp*) and your date looks at you expectantly. How do you react?
A. Politely ask your date if they're okay with dancing, throw them a beaming smile, and lead the way to the floor. It's not like you haven't been practicing this all week.
B. Remain seated until Professor McGonagall glares at you so fiercely that you're worried she might burn a hole in your head, then reluctantly get up to dance.
C. Leap up and skip straight for the floor, yanking your shrieking date behind you -- this is your moment!
D. Swoop your date into your arms and clumsily stomp your way to the floor, tripping over your feet on the steps.
4. That was exhausting! Seriously, how do people manage that all the time?! Feeling like a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, the music ends and, as you go to catch your breath, a second song starts up. Wonderful. What do you do?
A. Ask your date if they'd like to continue dancing. This is their night, after all.
B. Yawn loudly and go to sit down. Now that the mandatory dancing is over, you're determined to take a break.
C. Beam brightly, clutch your exhausted-looking date for dear life, and begin the second dance. You'll be dancing all night, if you can help it!
D. Now that you've started dancing, you physically cannot stop, for fear of falling over. This is your life now. All you see in the future is spinning in circles in this one spot.
5. Now you definitely need a break and a chance to mop up your sweaty forehead. Your date slyly hints that they're getting thirsty. What do you do?
A. You're already one step ahead of them, clutching a fresh Butterbeer with their name on it.
B. Point out where the drinks stand is and go to sit down.
C. Play an UNO reverse card: make a comment about how you're also feeling thirsty and glare at them.
D. Head over to get them a drink, praying that you won't fall over on the way back and spill it all over them.
6. What a night that was! As everyone makes their way towards the exit (and the Entrance Hall looks busier than Black Friday), your date pauses to look up at you. What happens next?
A. Smile at them and lean over to kiss them on the cheek (how sweet!).
B. Gulp and walk away as fast as you can, screaming at everyone to get out of your way and slipping on the steps in your haste to escape.
C. Throw your arms around their neck and begin full-on snogging.
D. Stare awkwardly back and make a garbled comment about how nice they look, before backing away quickly.
If you answered...
Mostly "A": You are Cedric Diggory! Forever the gentleman, you go out of your way to make sure everyone around you, especially your date, is having a good time. Just be careful the next time you're in a graveyard, and a man carrying a strange baby starts walking towards you...
Mostly "B": You are Harry Potter! Okay, you didn't want to be here, but did you really have to be so obnoxious to your date? Clearly, you need more dancing lessons from McGonagall!
Mostly "C": You are Fleur Delacour! You've been waiting your whole life for an experience like this, and nobody is going to stop you having the time of your life! Just be careful when making out in bushes, as you never know which hook-nosed, greasy-haired teacher is nearby watching.
Mostly "D": You are Viktor Krum! Sure, going to a Yule Ball may not be your forté, but it was really sweet watching you try your best for your date. Unfortunately for you, you're actually not an important enough character to win her over. Ah well, maybe next time.
