Mostly B’s

You are Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, a person who can find wonder and excitement in even the simplest of things.  Each day is a bright opportunity for more beautiful things to happen, and your willingness to meet them often means that you yourself create them.  Yours is a confident personality, so comfortable in your knowledge of what is right that your decisions may seem effortless to others.  They stem, however, from true thought and contemplations, and just because a courage is quiet does not mean it is not courage all the same.
