Because Pottermore has it on my brain lately: What Hogwarts house would your characters be in? Would they expect it or would it come as a total surprise?

Teja: in Gryffindor, to his astonishment, but mostly because the Sorting Hat would need him there together with his friend Totila.

Urquhart: Ravenclaw, at that stage, because cleverness and learning and achievement was really his forte. He only got derailed later.

Lorenzo: (I totally include him because I'm definitely apping him, and he's on my mind much) Slytherin. No doubt about it. So would be Margolotta and Tower.

Ma'at and Sirona belong in Ravenclaw as well, Donovan and Bridgette in Hufflepuff.

Tamara, though, scoffs that school is for humans.

Enzo could actually be either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. He happily goes charging into danger, but he's also all about family (actual and honorary) and loyalty and stuff.

616 Ben would be in Hufflepuff cause he is loyal to the end and stubborn to boot. He would be surprised as he'd peg himself as Gryffindor.

Ult. Ben would be Gryffindor. I'd be tempted to go with Hufflepuff but his courage is more pronounced than his stubbornness or loyalty. He wouldn't be surprised.

Val would be Ravenclaw and might be mildly surprised she didn't get Gryffindor.

Julie would be Gryffindor and would be shocked to have been sorted there, instead convinced she would have been in Hufflepuff.

Jessica I'm actually tempted to say Slytherin due to her past and her powers.

Thalia would be Gryffindor, no doubts there.

Artemus would be Ravenclaw or maybe Gryffindor.

Rincewind would run before the hat got a chance.

I've taken what claims to be an accurate House test both in and out of character. Everyone I've played in Milliways within the last year and myself would be sorted into Hufflepuff. I expected it with Mia and Lucas but not for myself. Mia and Lucas would see it coming, as neither consider the qualities they have besides loyalty and being hard workers to be strong enough to be another house. Mia is particularly amused by it considering her Slytherin husband.

But now I'm nothing but Hufflepuff pride and, should I ever think to join Pottermore, I'll be concerned about which house I actually get into.

Alyx would peg herself as Ravenclaw, but probably end up in Gryffindor due to her heroic tendencies.

Artie... prrrrobably Hufflepuff? And he'd be disappointed because he wanted to be a Ravenclaw.

Twilight Sparkle is a Ravenclaw through and through. NERDS 4 LIFE, Y'ALL.

Assuming Karkat got over his rage and indignation over being wizard, and over having to go to school at all, he would claim to be smart enough to a Ravenclaw but say he's obviously a Slytherin at heart while secretly hoping to be a Gryffindor.

He would be a Hufflepuff.

(He wouldn't understand it. The other Hufflepuffs wouldn't understand it. No one would understand it. Then one of his classmates would turn out to be a werewolf and start to change and while everyone was scrambling for hexes and stunning spells Karkat would wave them all off and stroke and shush the wolf into pacification.

HUFFLEPUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.)

Dinah would get sorted into Gryffindor before the hat has even reached her ears.

Mel's sorting would actually be dead interesting, 'cause she'd be sorted after Harth, and as the hat mostly puts you where you want to go, she'd follow him. Which I think, at 11 wouold be to Gryffindor, but it could be to Slytherin...
...OMG FIC IDEA. AMY.

Renee would be a longer sorting, but eventually it'd stick her into Gryffindor.

Will, bless him, a Hufflepuff at age 11. Btu he'd spend the rest of his school years being told he should be in Gryffindor, and he's the next Cedric Diggory or something.

Death is a Hufflepuff.

Marguerite would take ages to sort, hovering between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, before she is sent off to Ravenclaw with a song in her heart.

Sophie and Machiavelli, both Ravenclaws.

Floyd wold be sent off to Slytherin, disappointing himself as he wanted to be in Ravenclaw with his brother Eddie.

It's a shame though. I'd love Lorenzo to be in Ravenclaw, 'cause that's where all his friends are.

He'd have to sneak out of the dungeon and come hang out with them ALL THE TIME. Even though Mac doesn't trust him because SLYTHERIN.

The whole house thing eludes me (like the rest of HP). Knox, moreover, would be aghast to be in a private school and Gibbs would be aghast to be in a school.

Yrael would be either in Slytherin or Ravenclaw, I think. Though he's very loyal to his friends, also. And is rather fearless... *ponders*

Gryf-claw-slyther-puff!

I'd say Sunshine is a Hufflepuff, but signs of Gryffindor start showing once she starts realizes that she's not the coward she thinks she is.

Zelgadiss is a Ravenclaw, through and through.

Felix... is a hard one. My first instinct is to say Hufflepuff, but that's strictly because of the house-element matchups, which don't work quite the same way. I think I'm going to have to go with Gryffindor.

Kain's easy. Slytherin.

Fluttershy... wow. Well, let's start with what she definitely isn't. No ambition, except - as one blogger put it - "to cuddle every living thing". Which is a bit of an exaggeration, but close enough for our purposes here. She's not unusually intelligent, nor does she think of knowledge-for-knowledge's-sake or intelligence as the most important things in life. Now you might be asking yourself, "Cave, just how diff - I mean, "KD, what about Gryffindor? Surely that's an easy no, right?" To which I say, Neville Longbottom. And honestly, I think she'd do better in a Neville-like, 'spectator' position (if I may borrow Red Hen's terminology) in Gryffindor than in 'all for one and one for all' Hufflepuff. If nothing else, I'm not sure the Puffs would allow her as much time on her own as she needs. So, Gryffindor it is.

I am totes a Hufflepuff, yo. I'd just like to get that out of the way. (I will be surprised if Pottermore sorts me otherwise. PROVIDING I'M STILL ALIVE asdklfjas hurricane.)

Alex is absolutely with-no-doubt . There is just no other choice. Tendency to charge into situations? Ayep. Excess bravery? Ayep. A thousand near-death experiences he somehow manages to survive? Ayep.

Jack is totally a . His destiny in life involves lots of diplomacy and being the type of person people want to hang around with and talk to about whatever's keeping them in the land of the living. So. Yes.

Sam... I think Sam's a . He's bullied lots, but he's super-brave to go charging into a war to find his dad and all that, so.

Todd, I think, would be Hufflepuff, as is Philippa (with a side of Ravenclaw). Pomona... would, um, probably just live on the grounds somewhere, not actually as part of the school. Chuck is Gryffindor with a side of Ravenclaw, and... for some reason, I want to put Freya in Ravenclaw.

BUT YEAH. Also, I have an actual Hufflepuff that I might be apping this next month (PROVIDING I AM STILL ALIVE asdlkjfalsd hurricane D:).

That would totally be a new and valid reason for Mac not to trust him!

I think those divided loyalties are part of what makes Lorenzo's character so interesting for me to play. He wants nothing more than his father to take notice of him and be proud of him and approve of what he does. Oh, and he wants to sneak out with his friends, too.

That does rather make him a Slytherin.-

P.S.: An AU where everybody is being a student in Hogwarts would be awesome fun for a weekend. This weekend is D*C, and half of everybody not going there is about doing stuff anyway, but perhaps next weekend we might make a game post in MM for that kind of AU?

I think Mac would have an especial dislike for Slytherins because the Sorting Hat said he had lots and lots of ambition, but he's Muggle-born (which none of his friends know, obviously).

I have too many ideas.

[personal profile] innerbrat 2011-08-26 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
NEXT weekend is D*C, actually. This weekend is everyone making costumes for D*C? I'll be in my apartment hoping the hurricane doesn't ruin my weekend.

But DEFINITELY. I was exactly thinking that.

Hogwarts isn't a private school, though. No tuition fees.

Yep, then let's make it the weekend after next. One big game post, going up on Friday, announced properly, with a few location threads pre-established so all the houses can assemble in their common rooms etc.

And then we see if it gets picked up...
