Astor ArensinBy Silvana Mandeville
HOLers, welcome back to The Face of HOL. I hope all of you have a great time. In this issue I would like to introduce another HOLer to you, a dear friend from Ravenclaw, Astor Arensin.
1. How did you find HOL? What attracted you to this place? I found HOL because I was searching Google for virtual versions of Hogwarts! I loved the idea of attending a magical school and doing assignments and projects for the classes, and I'm so glad to see all the new/unique classes that aren't from canon. 2. What is your favorite part of HOL? I love the community, everyone here is so kind and helpful. 3. What is your goal for this year at HOL? My goal is to finally become a 3rd year! I've been so busy with real life that I've been unable to earn the quills necessary, but I am determined. 4. What's your favorite class at HOL? I love the Magical Creatures classes. Magical Creatures Lore, Care of Magical Creatures and the advanced class, etc. 5. Tell us five fun facts about yourself. I'm a dog groomer in real life! I lived on a farm with many animals, as well as over 30 rescue dogs. I am in college part time. I love gardening, and hope to become a hobby beekeeper one day. Lastly, I have experience being a moderator for communities of up to 6000 members for over 5 years. 6. If you were born again, who would you wish to live as? I wish I could have been born a male in another country, somewhere in the Nordic regions. 7. In 2019 you joined the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team, do you want to share some stories from your experience with Quidditch? I didn't compete much, but it was a great time! The team was lovely and full of helpful people. It was no issue if you didn't type fast or weren't skilled with trivia, the team was always willing to help 8. If you lived in the Harry Potter Universe, who would you want to live as? I'd love to be Charlie Weasley, or some magizoologist or even an herbalist. 9. Do you have role models at HOL? Yes I do! Mostly Prof. Tarma Amelia Black, but also Kendra Givens and Sirius Fudge (even though they have graduated lol) 10. What are your hobbies and what do you like to do in your free time? I love painting and gardening, but I've also gotten interested in dog training! That's all about Astor! |
