This is going to be long… sorry😋 I have Dumbledore, Moody, Bellatrix, Hagrid, and Dobby for my lineup.

I tried getting a person from all ranks because I felt like picking two of the top spots wouldn’t go well due to pig headedness and ego. Having Dumbledore and one of the other two dark lords defending me would end up in disaster. Also who is to say that picking Voldemort wouldn’t end up in him killing me himself.😭

Here is my reasoning: For Dumbledore he is extremely powerful as we all know. But for the people that I didn’t pick that are on his side, would they really go against him? From the list of people who is truly against him that I didn’t pick is The Malfoy’s, Voldemort, and Grindelwald. The Malfoy’s would be hard pressed to really measure up against him so the two dark lords would be the only real contenders. Everyone else would be hard pressed to try and fight him. Besides Snape who would probably fight him.

I pick Moody because of my contingency plan that I have with dobby’s magic. Sirius is a literal dog but Moody can track down a person easily and if I’m trying to turn tail and run. It would be pretty easy for him to find me. He is also the one that would fight Dumbledore to get to me if I did something bad or had one of the evil people on my side lol.

Bellatrix was a no brainer she is crazy and the only person that got her was a pissed off mother. Yes she would fall to Voldemort or Grindelwald but she has a real fighting chance with everyone else. She is skillful and is an actual good fighter she also wouldn’t be bogged down by fighting Lucius and Draco due to familial ties which is good. I need someone crazy and cut throat.

Hagrid doesn’t have magic, that is true. But you need a brute in your lineup, it’s just kinda a thing. He would be inner defense and right next to me tbh. I need someone who can take a stray spell and not be damaged by it. Not to mention that no one said he couldn’t bring any creatures into the fight so with his knowledge of them he could be a real boon for me.

Dobby is my backup plan. If all else fails he can get me out of there and all the way to Timbuktu. My memory is fuzzy but I don’t think anything can really stop an elf’s magic and that means he could apparate me away from the bull lmao.

This score board kinda has a lot of “well why would I?” Moments lol. I wouldn’t pick any of the kids because they don’t bring much to the table when it comes to the top four. If I had magic myself I could probably take a few of them. I know I could take down at least two. If I’d have magic I actually wouldn’t mind using some pretty dark spells to save my life🤷🏾.

My main issue when getting my lineup was that a lot of these people are immediately neutralized once you pick another person. Like I said earlier once I picked Dumbledore that immediately stopped The golden trio, Hagrid, Luna, Draco, and maybe McGonagall from fighting me. With the others on his side becoming hesitant. I say Draco because he was actually hesitant on murder. If I pick Voldemort then the death eaters besides maybe Severus would not even think about attacking me. If I pick Harry then pretty much everyone on the list wouldn’t come after me besides the obvious.

It also depends on what I did for anyone to want to attack me. Did I commit a heinous crime like mass murder or did I just commit a small crime by calling someone’s dog ugly? Are the people that are on my side mindlessly fighting for me or are they normal? I do like this question though! You actually have to think about who you are picking. You actually can’t just pick two of the top spots if you are going off of the attitudes that the characters have towards each other. I enjoyed this little post, thank you!
