If you had mostly...

A's - Go on a good, old fashion Muggle camping trip with your family - Toasting marshmallows, singing songs around the campfire, telling spooky stories, going on a hike, looking up at all of the stars on a perfect summer night, see wild animals (hopefully not a bear stealing your food). It sounds perfect! Whether you love spending time with family or looking for an adventure, a good, old fashion Muggle camping trip is the perfect way to explore nature and make memories. But remember, the key word is MUGGLE, so leave your wand at home (or maybe bring it just in case you find a bear stealing your food)

B's - Play some Quidditch (maybe even attend a few games) - There's nothing like the feeling of the wind messing up your hair as you fly high above the ground on a broomstick. There's no denying that the wizarding world loves this magical sport. Maybe you'll play with some friends or maybe it will be a family competition. Would you be a Chaser fighting for the Quaffle? Or a Keeper defending the goalposts. How about a Beater blasting Bludgers to unsuspecting players? Or perhaps you would like to be a Seeker battling your opponent to find the Golden Snitch? Maybe you love flying and playing friendly games of Quidditch, but you prefer to be in the stands when things start to get competitive. Why not watch a game and hang out with your friends and family drinking butterbeer during the excitement of the game? Whatever you choose, you're bound to have a blast!

C's - Explore the Dark Arts - Maybe you want to become a Death Eater, maybe you just want to level up your skills, maybe you just love learning, or perhaps your dream job is to fight the Dark Arts and studying it will help find their weaknesses. Whatever your reason is, you're on your way to becoming a very powerful witch/wizard/wix! The world better watch out, because you have big plans. There's nothing better than learning new spells, especially if they will help you become the best of the best. While you're looking at the Dark Arts, maybe you'll dabble in some other subjects too! Learning some good healing spells and knowing how to brew complex potions can come in handy no matter what your ambitions are.

D's - Get a summer job - Instead of dealing with the blazing hot sun, sand everywhere, and creepy crawly bugs, why not make some extra spending money? A summer job will help keep you busy so you aren't bored all day. Plus, it will look great on your resume! You'll be able to meet new friends, learn new skills, and maybe even meet some people who can help you get into some opportunities that will get you closer to your dream job! Getting a summer job will allow you to make some money and don't worry, you will still have plenty of time to have fun hang out with friends.

E's - Have a sleepover with your friends - Playing games, watching a movie, and talking with your best friends - does it really get any better than this? Hanging out with your friends all day is awesome, but when you have a sleepover you get to continue the fun the next day! Will you go out to eat at a fancy restaurant or will it be candy and snacks for dinner? The possibilities are endless! So gather your closest friends and get ready to make your favorite summer memory.

Stuck between two choices? Don't worry! Here's a tie breaker question!

What is your blood status on HEX?
A. Muggleborn
B. Halfblood/Mixedblood
C. Pureblood
D. Special blood status
E. I don't know yet

Awesome, now you have your summer plans. Now all you have to do is figure out who you will be spending your summer with based on your birth month.

January - Regulus Black
February - Bellatrix Lestrange
March - Narcissa Malfoy
April - Salazar Slytherin
May - The Bloody Baron
June - Merlin
July - Lord Voldemort
August - Severus Snape
September - Tom Riddle
