O HAI. LET'S SORT OUR CHARACTERS INTO HOGWARTS HOUSES. AND OFFER OPINIONS ON OTHER PEOPLE'S.
I have a preponderance of Hufflepuffs. Meg, Magda, and Sue!Megan are all 'Puffs.
According to Jess, Dan is a Neville-type Gryffindor.
I think Tybalt is probably a Ravenclaw, due to the fact that Sarrin keeps stressing that in another life he would have been all bookish. I can't place Mercutio at ALL.
Meanwhile, though Veidt is totally Slytherin material, I imagine that if his parents had been wizards they'd've been die-hard pureblood fanatics (I mean, hi, they were NAZIS) and he'd've managed to NOTSLYTHERINNOTSLYTHERINNOTSLYTHERIN his way into Ravenclaw as a kid, because ultimately the hat puts you where you want to be, whether it's obvious about it or not. (This is canon. It's discussed in book 2.)
Jess and I waffled over Herbert for a while. He's not ambitious enough to be a Slytherin, after all. We eventually decided that he probably would have ended up in Ravenclaw. He's a bit bookish under the ruffles.

But there's already a thread about this...

I think all of mine would be Slytherin, except Mortimer, who would be, well, in the lake making friendly with the merfolk, grindylow, and giant squid. You could argue Slytherin (for self interest) or Ravenclaw (for secret cleverness) for Grantaire. Drak, Marlow, and The Hessian would all be in Durmstrang, so, no houses (that we know of).
I suppose you could say Destler is a Hufflepuff gone bad...

But there's already a thread about this... Hence "the new". It was late and I was lazy.

I feel like Tybalt would actually be a Hufflepuff - I do think he'd have been bookish, but not because of a love of academics; I think he's more diligent than actually intellectual. However. As you mention with Veidt, he would certainly beg the Hat not to place him in that house (because someone of his background would find it so humiliating, not to mention he'd never ever live it down, and that is a fate worse than death to Tybalt) such that he'd be sorted elsewhere, and Ravenclaw would probably be that elsewhere, and he'd bloom not because of an internal interest in his studies but because he is a hard worker and the praise he'd receive would mean a lot to him.
Mercutio would probably be a Gryffindor. He has his moments of emotional cowardice which lead him to betray his friends, but he does seem to count loyalty to his friends as basically the only principle he has (which makes him very upset with himself when he does for some reason or other betray his friends.
I feel like Adrien would be a Ravenclaw. It's just that his Ravenclaw values have kind of been squashed by his life so far. If he were of a background that would send him to Hogwarts, though, it would have been his house and he'd have been entirely different.
Umm. I have more characters than two, why can't I think of them?
ETA: Veidt - not bookVeidt but what I know of VerseVeidt: hoyes.
Although depending HP-universe circumstances, I don't know if he'd have had the same reaction against his parents at 11. Later, even only in HP-universe, he would certainly, but I feel torn about whether or not he'd react so strongly. One half of my brain says 11-year-old Veidt certainly had the self-control, but I wonder if he had the emotional independence.

The background I've always worked with says that he didn't exactly get along with them even as a child, even if at that point it was GOD MY PARENTS ALWAYS MAKE ME DO STUFF I DON'T WANT TO DO. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to try to block this Veidtjack with the heaviest armor I have: ![](http://i32.tinypic.com/2rmv9sm.jpg)

Not that I'm going to keep talking about this after I say this, but I have to say - yeah. Your!Veidt, probably. I do, as I think I state lots of the time, think of bookVeidt and notbookVeidt as different creatures (as you might have gleaned from my idea of them having different astrological signs XD).
Also I thought a little more about my other characters: Miranda is a Hufflepuff. She has that I'mabeanunandhelppeople thing working for her, though the way this tends towards championing others suggests she'd not do so poorly in Gryffindor. However, brash isn't her sort of thing at all, so I am leaning towards Hufflepuff. (If I think about this from a Victorian perspective, even then I think she's more nurse than suffragist.)
Malika is a Slytherin, hands down. Even before she started trying to acquire status and wealth for vengeance and stability, I imagine her intellect and work in school was so she could get the hell away from her crummy family.
Nicolas is so freaking hard. Not a Slytherin. Not a Gryffindor. And not a Hufflepuff, either, I'm pretty sure. I think he does value information, knowledge, or culture purely for themselves, but he also is so damn cynical and disillusioned that he'd never fit into Ravenclaw very well, even if he was sorted there. He'd cut classes and be a nuisance to professors in general.
George Boleyn. Slytherin, yes?

Micaela would in all honest probably be a Hufflepuff. No, really. There's the clever side and she studies but for real. Hufflepuff.
Nicki d'Enjolras is ... probably a Gryffindor. He's all heroic and such, though he isn't dim-witted.
Cal is a Slytherin for selfishness, and she's no dummy, though a bit too nice for the house.
Adrienne is a Ravenclaw. If all else fails she hides in her books.
Can't think of any more at the moment.

Sam Vimes is a Hufflepuff and damn proud of it. He's that one kid who doesn't use magic when muggle things would work just as well and pisses off all the prefects by finding ways to do whatever he wants while not technically breaking any of the rules.

(Even more...)
Miles is also hard. Initial thought was Hufflepuff, but he is way too idle. I actually think Gryffindor. He gets huffy and picks on the new kids, but I think that's more like a mild hazing ritual than actual snobbishness (although he is a snob. :S he's upper class, all I can say). I would say loyalty is a defining trait and I think he probably does have a tendency to root for the underdog that he's probably suppressed just because he had to outsnob his Oxford peers.
Rosalind is equally difficult. Also torn between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Well. I'm going to go with Gryffindor because she'd really want to be there for the prestige and the awesome and the color red. Rosalind is girlish in this.
And hell. I bet Alex would be there too. Not like that house needs any more red heads or anything, but still.
Ah, Lavinia. I don't even know what she'd be now or if she's mellowed, but back in the days when she still had a stable personality she'd have been a Slytherin.

Post by Mercutio on Jul 17, 2009 19:38:08 GMT -5
Mercutio, Gryffindor, yes. For as Sarrin says, he considers himself staunchly loyal (even when he's not). George Boleyn, Slytherin, yes, look, two of my characters have been done for me. ^_^ Armand ---> Slytherin, although when he was Amadeo maybe Gryffindor. Tsuzuki ---> Hufflepuff? Sue!Maggie ---> Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. Probably Gryffindor. Kayla ---> Hufflepuff. Erin ---> Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. This amuses me greatly, for on a HP site i have a version of him who is very much a Slytherin. Notre Dame ---> school ghost. Or related to Luna Lovegood.

Awww Mozart. <3
Really? I would totally think of Dan as a Gryffindor. He's awkward but he is so incredibly passionate about justice and so kickass about it, too. I would probably have thought of Wolf as a Hufflepuff, but I can see Gryffindor.
Maggie: The image of George and Nicki in some AU place or other hanging out as Hogwarts 6-years and laughing their asses off at other people is burned into my brain. You realize this. I really want to draw it.

Valentine is a Ravenclaw. Tybalt finds an unexpected friend in him. Or, you know, someone he can study with and who does not earn him taunting from Mercutio because every time Mercutio comes over and sees him with his brother he sniggers at them for five minutes, gets really bored, and goes off to find girls to drag into broom cupboards.

Ivy is very Slytherin and is the head of her Potions class, but gets violently angry whenever someone mentions blood purity or anything relating to genetics. She hung out with some students who went on to be Death Eaters, and was eventually approached by recruiters but politely declined (then killed them.)
