the The Sorting Hat's a Liar meme!

[heirial]

The Sorting Hat is wise, but it isn't infallible. What if it had chosen differently?

Post your characters and which houses they are in for the purposes of this meme (don't just drop them in a random house that makes no sense, but as long as it's something you can make an argument for, go wild).

Respond to other people's threads. Responding characters can be in a new house of their own or the same house, and you don't even have to be consistent about this from thread to thread.

Have fun!

Jake English | Also in hufflepuff

[goodboybestshot]

[Oh hey, he spots you in the common room. They've probably been buddies since their first year, what with being in the same house. He'll leap over the back of the couch to slide into a seat next to him]

Salutations, Strider.

Huffle-chans

[fracturedsoul]

[ Dirk is just sitting here getting some homework done. Studious as fuck for a Hufflepuff. He looks up and glances over to Jake when he slides in next to him. Always has time for his best bro no matter how busy he is and a l s o he has not gotten into dark majyyks thanks to the happy friendly influence of Hufflepuff ]

Sup.

[goodboybestshot]

[Yay happy friendly influences! Jake shamelessly leans against him to look at what he's writing.]

Nothing much. Tad restless, if I'm to be honest. What about you?

[fracturedsoul]

[ Dirk is okay with the leaning. He just smiles and taps the parchment with his quill. ] Working on that essay for Potions. Ugh, why do we have to write essays in Potions? You done it yet?

[goodboybestshot]

[Oh... he takes a second to try and recall what he's talking about. Oh.]

Drat! No, I completely forgot. Blast it all to heck!

[fracturedsoul]

[ Of course. Luckily Dirk is getting an early start; partly because he knew it would completely slip Jake's mind. He reaches up to ruffle Jake's hair. ]

Three feet six inches, Jake. Get started on it soon.

[goodboybestshot]

[Jake will just whine into your shoulder then.]

That's rubbish. Why do you need to write reports on stirring around things in a cauldron.

[fracturedsoul]

Because Professor Whoever-The-Fuck-Teaches-Potions said so and we'll flunk if we don't do it.

[ Whiniest boyfriend. Why does Dirk love you. ]

[goodboybestshot]

[Makes another noise of discontent into his shoulder before pulling away.]

Do you have extra parchment on you? [Might as well do it here, with Dirk.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ He pulls out an extra sheet, and he just so happens to be using two textbooks to back his own essay, so he hands one of those over also. ]

And this shit just got twenty times less boring.

[goodboybestshot]

[He takes it and opens it just above his parchment so they both can look at it.]

And fifty times less productive. I haven't an idea of where to start.

[fracturedsoul]

[ He takes this opportunity to lean over and rest his head on Jake, now. ] Applications of healing salves to non-magical burns. We've only been working on this in class all week.

[goodboybestshot]

[Leans slightly against him in return.]

Yes, I get that. I'm just bollocks at starting reports. Here, you take the healing salves, apply them to the burn, and then the burn is all better.

Why does that need three feet of explanation?

[fracturedsoul]

Hell if I know. [ If Jake cares to glance over at Dirk's essay, he's padding it out with larger than normal print, margins, and spaces between the lines. He's got about a foot done. ] Three and a half feet, mind you. Don't cut it off too soon.
