1. What would you do if you were at the zoo when you slipped, fell into a
hippo tank, got swallowed by the hippo, and wound up in Lyrian?

1.) Scream. A lot. 2) Wonder how a hippo could swallow an entire human being without chewing. 3.) EXPLORE! I love discovering new places, even if it's through a hippo's digestion system. (though, I admit, it would be a little weird).

2. What would you do if you went to bed one night, and woke up at
Hogwarts, and everyone claimed you were a student there like everyone
else?

Jump up and down on my bed screaming out of pure joy, therefore making everyone think I was ludacris! I mean, becoming a wizard, WOW! And then go on with daily life, though till the day I die, would be considered slightly off my rocker!

1. Wonder why on earth I ever decided to go to the zoo.

2. First of all, faint from the pure joy. Two, write a letter to my family telling them I got into Hogwarts. Three, I'd find Luna Lovegood and ask her to show me a nargle.

Oh by the way, BHR, ludicrous is spelled like that. Just in case it wasn't a typo. Sorry, I'm in a bad mood and I have the urge to nitpick. And on another note, hippo's mouths are big enough to swallow full grown humans. So yeah.

1. Panic.

2. Panic. Mildly panic. And then see what house I was in. If it was Griffindor or Hufflepuff? Ask to leave immediatly. Ravenclaw or Slytherin? Cool, I'm in. 

@ JDD: No, I have not. What's it about?

Merci, Ruby! I'm always looking to spell better. And I once made up a ridiculous song about a hippo being my pet. It was one line over and over and over. I am odd.

1. Well, I haven't read Beyonders, so I wouldn't know that it was Lyrian. Considering I had just been eaten by a hippo, I would assume that I had died. First I would do a lot of crying because I was separated from everything and everyone I knew and loved. Then, I would get excited because there was apparently life after death, which was certainly not something I expected, and my life is not important compared to presumably everyone who had ever died getting to still live, which would be awesome. Then, I would talk to someone to see if they remembered a previous life or knew anyone who did. Presumably, they wouldn't. I would be very disappointed and wonder if everyone went to different places after death, or if maybe I was actually the only one who got to live again. Then I would try to find out if the people there were mortal. I'm assuming they are? In that case, I'd be very upset and also confused because I had no hope of understanding this living death business. Of course, I would then look for as much information on it as possible at that point.

Follow-up: I would explain that I didn't have any drooma while attempting to run away.

2. I would be highly confused and worried, and I would think about what possible explanations might exist. If my memories were correct, I wouldn't have one. If what everyone else was saying was correct, though, then there would be a perfectly plausible one: I would have been false memory-charmed, and everything (or at least a good deal) of what I remembered would be a lie. I would conclude that this was probably the case and talk to my head of House about it to see if there was anything we could do to get my original memories back; meanwhile, I would ask if there was any way I could get to the Muggle world so that I could call my parents and see what memories, if any, they had, if the phone number I remembered was indeed correct. Meanwhile, I would read as much about the magical world as I possibly could. I'd be ecstatic that it existed, although I'd also be panicking about my life probably being a lie.

Follow-up: I would think that maybe my memories were correct after all. I would think about other explanations for the events and wonder if everyone else might have been memory-charmed, or if I was brought all the way to America because I looked just like a student who was kidnapped or killed or something, and the person responsible wanted to cover it up but couldn't brew or afford Polyjuice. I would talk to my head of House again for sure.

1. What would you do if you were at the zoo when you slipped, fell into a hippo tank, got swallowed by the hippo, and wound up in Lyrian? (Beyonders)

I would freak out at first, and the I would think that it was pretty awesome. Especially since I have read the book and know what is going to happen.

2. What would you do if you went to bed one night, and woke up at Hogwarts, and everyone claimed you were a student there like everyone else?

At first, I would probably think that it was a dream. When I didn't wake up, I would think that this was the best day of my life, as long as over vacation, I went home to my parents. Third, I would wonder if my previous life was a deception of The Mist (PJ refrence), and I had always been here at Hogwarts. Or if it was the other way around, Hogwarts was the deception, and my memory was right.

Me and my siblings play this sometimes!

I would be confused; aren't hippos vegetarian? But then utterly mad that I ended up here, and go on fruitless attempts to destroy Lyrian. 

2. What would you do if you went to bed one night, and woke up at

Be more than bit confused, but hey, what.. could be better?! Try to fit in like the rest, make friends, go to classes, be a witch, and enjoy my time in Slytherin!

1. What would you do if after finding yourself in Lyrian, a displacer
attacked you demanding one thousand drooma, and was throwing his head at
you while making this demand and it kept coming back at him like a
boomerang?

Laugh hysterically, use my karate on him, and continue on my way, whistling cheerfully with my hands in my pockets like nothing happened. 

2. What would you do if, after you went to the first class, Charms, you
discovered that you could not cast spells, and that your magic powers
(if you ever had any) had disappeared?

Sigh dramatically, and know that it was too good to be true. Make everyone think I was a Squib, and live in an isolated cave by myself for the rest of my life. 

1. What would you do if after finding yourself in Lyrian, a displacer

a) wonder what the heck drooma were. b) ask him about zombie anatomy, since he evidently was one, if he can remove his head, for I can't think of anything else that could. 

2. What would you do if, after you went to the first class, Charms, you
discovered that you could not cast spells, and that your magic powers
(if you ever had any) had disappeared? 

Simple. Sob my poor, everlovin' heart out. That would be, "the most tragical thing that has ever happened to me!" 

And I'm currently trying to find Beyonders, JDD! It sounds totally up my alley!

Joe Dosie Doe, I thought these books sounded pretty interesting, only I want to know: What is the first book called? I've looked everywhere but nothing says which is the first one. I think it's the A World without Heroes one, but better safe than sorry, right?
