Hey Guyz and Galz of the Jury, Headmistress, LUNA, SARAH, HARRY and fellow finalists, ((CONGRATS!! ON FINAL 3))
Making the finals I must admit feels pretty awesome!!! Though you are all sitting on the jury and not in the finals I do have each and everyone of you to thank for my final three spot. Some of you were alliance members, some of you I never had a chance to get to know, (UNFORTUNATE) and some of you were simply pains in the butts that without fighting hard for so many immunities I probably would have been sent packing a long time ago. I figure for my opening statement I will try to explain my strategy, alliances, and general craziness of the game. Also I will address each one of you in one way or another, then if there are still questions, I am ready, willing and able to tackle them. At this point, being dishonest isn't going to help anyone in the finals, so ask away

I have played in reality online games before, mostly big brother, but never a survivor format, especially in the theme of my favoritest books ever. Yes, I am a Harry Potter fanatic and its what drew me to the game. I did come into this game knowing one of the fellow students. Do I think it was an advantage, Of course. At the same time, though having someone you have extended trust already built with in the game, it puts the other students on guard. I never hid my previous relationship with Myrtle from my alliance, or any of the students if it came up in conversation. At one point I had approached Draco and ask him, WHY? Why turn on the alliance that we all promised final four to?, and my choice to share knowing Myrlte bit me in the ass. How could he trust me to take him to final three or farther then one of my really good friends. I have to admit, I likely wouldn't have. I have no regrets by sharing this information, but those who think I had an advantage by having a friend in the game, might understand its not always a step ahead of the other players.
The first few expulsions in the game I bounced around from house to house going in and out of the portrait gallary. Obviously during one of my many visits I was fortunate enough to find a hidden immunity idol, which saved my butt going into the final five but sadly sent my last remaining alliance member to the jury house. Knowing Myrtle obviously we were aligned, then meeting Draco in my original house, and Seamus in the portrait gallary secured what was suppose to be our ideal final four. This is the ONLY alliance I solidified and kept true to the entire game, even after Draco had flipped sides of the house, I still wouldn't have written his name down for expulsion. Near the end it got kinda messy for me, and thats where I do have regrets. I had secured a friendship with Ginny hoping that if the boys had decided to turn on Myrtle and myself that we could be the ones that flipped it around on them. Draco beat me to the punch and I had promised Ginny that if I could I would keep her out of expulsion, and not write her name down. When I had the power to do so I did keep my word in both those situations.
When JK announced we would be going from four to two houses I was excited hoping my entire alliance would be able to flip flop back and forth, get both idols, and kick ass at this game. Then I was sent to portrait to go over to Gryff, who had not seen a win up until that point. People didn't think that Gryff luck could turn around, but I came in and showed my strengths as a player in this game. I tried to motivate, and I simply refused to lose. Slowly the alliance came over to Gryff, and we managed to show no matter what house we were in, we were here to stay.
I could ramble on and on about my game play, but the bottom line is either you play hard and fast and keep kicking ass till the finale, or you sit back and play a more social game. I tried to do both and I did it well. I knew if I was a strong player I would be a target. I aligned with three other strong active players, and we dominated in the beginning of the game. Around Anthonys expulsion things got messed up for us. We were told information that we went ahead and took in good faith, and when we thought Anthony was gonna turn against us and align with the others, he was voted out. Jeff (our fifth in our alliance) was another big misunderstanding in his expulsion in my opinion. He wasn't suppose to go that early in the game, but we had all received a PM that he had also turned on the alliance, and that we had to vote him out before we were voted out ourselves. I still don't know if these accusations are true or not, but I am sorry if they wern't. At that point I thought we had a completely solid alliance.
I know that some of you on the jury house are not going to give me your vote and I can't change that. If I hurt your feelings, or you felt I lied to you, I am sorry, but it is a game and if you look at it from a game stand point I deserve to win this. I WON all but 2 IMMUNITY CHALLENGES, only attended 2 expulsions which I was wearing immunity necklaces at both. I stayed true to my original alliance, ALL well NEVER casting a single vote for any of the first six jury members or having one cast against me. Blame me for your eviction if need be, but I never wrote your name down. Thats enough of that though I am sure your questions will answer anything I havn't covered here but first.... a little blurb for each of you as if your eyes arn't already burning
George ===> Im sorry that I didn't know you were sick when this game started. I honestly took it as being inactive and at the point of your eviction it was better to have a strong active house, to stay out of expulsion then a weak one.
Fred ===> Besides your expulsion our paths never really crossed in the game, your friendship with George made me a little weary if you were aligned. I didn't have a vote and I know you said you were not aligned with George and Anthony and I am sorry that we couldn't last in the game longer together. Happy Easter
Anthony ===> The last memory I have of you in this game is you telling me to go choke on ballz or something along those lines. Do I expect your vote after a comment like that, prob. not. Im sorry that the alliance turned around and took you out. I only ever promised finals to the four, technically five when Jeff approached us to work together. I didn't write your name down at expulsion, but I did know that you were going home and I am sorry for not giving you the heads up.
Jeff ===> My late night posting buddy. I could always rely on you to be up when everyone else was sleeping. Mind you we had different time zones, but regardless you kept me company. I have been wondering something that bothers me, You might still be in the game, but you decided to try and come after Myrtle and myself ( Myrtle at the time ) who were in your alliance, I just wondered why? You obviously don't have to answer, I just wanted you to know why the alliance expelled you, and its because you had made a move to break it apart.
Seamus ===> You Rock!!! You going home was like a kick in the gutt. You helped Myrtle and me bring home the double immunity, and in turn it sealed your fate. I wish I could say I would change what happened but I wouldn't want to lose my safety either. I wish we would have known Draco was working with the others. Always had my suspicious feelings but always being so paranoid this time I tried to let them go. Bad Susan. Wish you were sitting here next to me.
Myrtle ===> You Rock!!! You know your my girl 4 life, There is nothing else to say!!!!
Tonks ===> Your the only person I ever cast a vote for, and I was terrifed to be sitting next to you in the finals. Every time you were supose to be expelled its like you had 9 lives and someone always became a threat right before your expulsion. Hands down Draco and you turned the game around and took out my alliance one by one. I dont expect your vote, we dont seem to get along very well, but hopefully after this game we can talk and get to know each other.
SO YEAH officially shutting my pie hole now, I had no idea what I was suppose to write, so bring on the questions..
***SUSAN***POOF***OH YEAH!!! VOTE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is the one vote I WANT TO SEE MY NAME !!! Giggles and sits down!!!!!
