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!

[ It could happen.

It could.

Trust me. ]

Tavros Nitram | GRYFFINDOR

[disabulled]

Dirk Strider | Hufflepuff.........

[fracturedsoul]

[greennotgold]

[ Totally in the Gryffindor common room. ]

Um. Good evening, Tavros!

Alvis Hamilton | Hufflepuff

[keytoexile]

[Oh......... it was another of those weird puppets that kept showing up in the dorm. She isn't sure whether to step around it or kick it out of the way, and settles for crouching down and finding out whether it squeaks.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ Oh, yeah, it squeaks. It's... kind of unsettling. But isn't it nice and soft and plushy, Alvis? Don't you just... want to hug it? ]

[keytoexile]

[Not really... okay, maybe a little, but she doesn't. She picks it up and starts turning it around to look at it better. Why in the world is it shaped like this? It's almost cute, in a really really ugly way.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ And here is Dirk swooping in. ]

I see you're interested in my smuppets.

[keytoexile]

[Alvis squeaks and drops the weird puppet, taking a couple steps back. Or she would, if she was standing. Instead she falls on her butt.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ He tilts his head. He's a liiiittle bit more open and friendly than he is in game-canon, having spent five years surrounded by the goodwill and general cheer of Hufflepuff. Just a bit, though. ] Hey, I don't bite. I'm a prefect, we're not allowed to hurt first years.

[keytoexile]

[That's kind of reassuring but does it mean they can hurt the older students?... no, probably not. Alvis stands back up and, after a moment, picks up the weird puppet and holds it out to Dirk.]

[fracturedsoul]

[ He doesn't take it. ] You can keep it. I'm practically drowning in the things, and I can always make more.

[keytoexile]

Are you sure? [She's already hugging it, though.]

[fracturedsoul]

Absolutely. Don't worry, kid. Sharing is caring, or whatever I'm supposed to say here as a Hufflepuff role model.

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.

magdalene archer | slytherin

[scribes]

[She's outside on the grounds by the lake practicing some spells. She looks as serious as usual and there is a book floating next to her that every now and then flips to another page when she flicks her wand.

Now for the next spell. Exams are coming up and she is not going to let herself do anything less than perfect on all of them. Crap]

Jake English | Slytherin

[goodboybestshot]

[Welp. It's kind of hilarious how one small decision when you're eleven can basically change the outcome of your life. House-sorting certainly had that effect on Jake. His lineage had also hung over him like a dark cloud, and though he was too young at the time to get it, he realized now why the Hall got so very quiet the moment the hat shouted out his house.

Well, that was the way it was sometimes. Jake was maybe mad about it early on, but that wasn't the case anymore. He was a Slytherin. So be it. Was he his father? No. He was better.

He was going to be better than his father and show all of the ignorant sods out there that put a curse upon him because of his name. He wore his name like a badge of defiance and he applied himself like someone with something to prove.

His morals suffered a little because of it, and he wasn't really as friendly as he might have been if he was elsewhere, but there you go. ]

[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?

[testaments]

[And this was Asticus who has been in Gryffindor this whole time rather than Hufflepuff. He's a lot less reserved than his normal counterpart. A lot more dangerprone, too.]

Look out!

[That's a quaffle btw.]

[scribes]

Look ou--? [She had been so deep in concentration she hadn't been paying attention to her surroundings. Mag turns her head just in time to receive a quaffle right to the face. She shrieks and her wand falls out of her hand causing the book to fall. She stumbles back, sways for a moment and SPLASH falls right into the lake.]

[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?

[testaments]

[Oh shit. OH SHIT SHE FELL IN. THAT'S TERRIBLE OH GOD. Wait what's he do. Call for help? Oh no too slow. OKAY JUMPING INTO THE LAKE TO GET YOU.]

[scribes]

[Better get to her before the giant squid does, Asticus. Seems like that quaffle hit her real hard because she is out like a light]

[testaments]

[Oh man oh man. She was that really pretty Slytherin girl he liked augh what a maroon. Okay, he's got you, and he's going to swim as fast as he can to the surface.]

[Totally forgetting about that squid.]
