:: Hogwarts Entry Exam ::

The Harry Potter fever is on. Do you have what it takes to enter Hogwarts School of Magic? Why not take the entry exam here.

Question 10: Do you have any distinctive scars? 

Yes I do. On my forehead. Just like Harry. Only it wasn’t done by him-we-do-not-speak-of. And by that I mean Voldemort.

I got this little scar on my forehead, almost invisible now when I was in kindergarten. My kindergarten was a banglo-turned-school for kiddies and my class was on the 1st floor. it was break time and I thought it would be cool to skate on the wooden floor with my socks. Another girl thought it was a good idea too. So we ‘skated’ like little ballerinas on the floor.

To make it more exciting  we decided to sprinkle some talcum powder on it. Yes, we wanted  it to be fast and furious! We were twirling and swooshing across the floor when suddenly I zoomed too far ahead. It was too late to grab onto the railings of the stairs and to put a brake in my steps didn’t cross my mind. I tumbled down the stairs and to add salt into injury, I banged my head on the sharp edge of the table at the end of the stairs.

I was bleeding. I have no idea if I cried but I do remember my father carrying me in his arms to the emergency department at hospital. I was wide awake when they stitched my head. My face was covered with one of those sheets and my father played peekaboo (enthusiastically). He probably thought it would help to take my mind of the pain. For God’s sake, I was about 4 or 5 and considered myself to be a ‘big girl’ at that time. It was much scarier to see his big face up close. Ha Ha.. But I did enjoy the attention.

So.. have you done the quiz? Did you manage to enter Hogwarts?
