So hi!! I realised that um Glake doesn’t have a Harry-Tortall discussion board, which is kinda sad, so I thought I’d start one, partly because I need help with this fanfic idea that I came up with at 11 at night (That’s not the point). Anyways, um I NEED HELP please.
The thing is, I actually wanted to do a Protector of the Small in Hogwarts fic, which is basically mostly Neal/Yuki (yes, I’m obsessed), some Kel/Dom, Shinko/Roald and also Haname/Harailt (<— This ship is the least shipped but tbh I think Ms Pierce made it really easy to see because, if you notice, they’re ALWAYS talking. ALWAYS having animated conversations. You get what I mean— who WOULDN’T ship them??) But that’s not the problem.
Can someone tell me how to sort everyone into their houses? I feel like the villains— Joren, Vinson, Garvey— they always land up in Slytherin… and Kel is a Gryffindor, but what about everyone else? I mean, Roald seems Hufflepuff enough, but he’d fit in Ravenclaw/Gryffindor too. Merric, Owen, Cleon, Faleron— Mithros, it’s a problem. And Neal? WHAT ABOUT NEAL? I mean, sure, he’s Gryffindor but I don’t actually know if he should be Ravenclaw instead. And what about Dom?
Someone, please, please, reply to this thread and save me by Friday. I get my AO3 acc then.
Please.
Help.
Me.
Thank you for reading.

I get my AO3 acc then. Please. Help. Me. Thank you for reading. I don't know how helpful it'll be, but I do have some quick knee-jerk thoughts!
Kel – I'm actually not sure that she is a Gryffindor, because despite the fact that she is very brave and likes fighting, her strongest characteristics throughout POTS tend to be that she is an extremely hard worker (Hufflepuff trait), cares deeply about justice and fairness (Hufflepuff trait), and accepts and cares for everyone regardless of their station in life, particularly the vulnerable (Hufflepuff trait). So I think she could go in either, but I'd probably lean toward placing her in Hufflepuff myself.
Roald – Not strongly characterized enough to be able to easily tell, but I would put him in Hufflepuff too because the thing I always remember first about his character is that he made an effort to sit at every table as a page because he wanted to be fair and not show any favoritism.
Neal – Ravenclaw. He did leave the university to become a knight, but he remains a bit of a bookish sort who is less interested in fighting than Kel. He's obviously very smart, but I think that's less the determining factor (since Kel and Roald obviously are too) than that he just seems to really like using his brain and, despite his gadfly personality that feels a bit Gryffindorish, does not seem impulsive or glory-hungry enough to me to land in Gryffindor first.
Owen – Easy Gryffindor. He is obsessed with fighting (to the point of near-bloodthirstiness) and is extremely brave and loyal, even cheerfully going after Kel with everybody else despite the fact that he was likely to ruin his entire career as a knight before it began in doing so.
Merric – I'd also place him in Gryffindor. He is less passionate about fighting than Owen, but he has a strain of exceptionalism and arrogance (as shown by his attitude toward commoners that mainly comes through in Lady Knight) that feels Gryffindorish, as well as a bit of a temper (lashes out at Kel in the first book when she wounds his pride by defending him). I'm a little less sure about this one since Merric's personality does not come through quite as clearly for me as some of the other characters, but that's my impulse anyway.
Cleon – Tough to say, similarly to Roald, because while we get a clear vision of what he's like in person, his interests are much less clear. I would say he isn't a Hufflepuff because of his choice to haze Kel in book 1 (not something a person who's particularly passionate about fairness and equality would likely be very interested in doing), and he doesn't strike me as intellectual enough for Ravenclaw or ambitious enough for Slytherin, so I'd probably toss him in Gryffindor too.
Faleron – He's another character who's hard to get a read on, but my instinct for him is Ravenclaw (to me he kind of feels similar to Alex of Tirragen from SOTL, but lacks Alex's brutal sense of ambition, and I think Alex would go in Ravenclaw but for that).
Joren, Vinson, and Garvey – I don't think any of them are particularly ambitious, and Vinson and Garvey also don't seem very clever, but then a lot of canon Slytherins in the Harry Potter series don't seem to suit the house's traits anyway (Crabbe and Goyle, cunning? I think not) so Slytherin is probably a safe choice for them. An argument could be made for a Ravenclaw Joren, though, I think.
Dom – He feels Hufflepuffy to me. He seems pretty humble and down-to-earth, with a helpful and kind nature, and doesn't seem interested in fame or glory at all, nor does he appear to be the type that gets bored without constant intellectual stimulation (the way I tend to think Neal does). So I'd put him in Hufflepuff with Kel.
Hope that at least gets you started!

The house systems are kinda janky, to say the least. Slytherin is generally relegated to “the evil house”... which... I have mixed feelings about because the characters are stock-standard villains. Being a first-class prejudiced bigot, not to mention an abuser, doesn’t equal ambition. In fact, it’s the opposite of ambitious, it’s narrow-mindedness and prejudice at best (ex. Wyldon), somewhere in the middle (ex. Zahir) and actively harmful behaviour and abuse at worst (ex. Vinson).
Vinson falls into the Draco Malfoy/Crabbe Goyle/Ralon of Malven stock-standard villain level of development, so there’s not much to say about him.
Is he loyal? Yes, maybe to Joren. Is he ambitious? Heavens, no. Cunning? No way. He actually reads Puff to me. It’s a twisted sense of “fairness”, yes, but it’s still a preoccupation with “the way things should be”. Like, I read Wyldon as Puff incarnate, yet he is still horribly prejudiced toward Kel. Vinson and co. are further along on that spectrum. Obviously, I am by no means condoning abuse or saying prejudice is fair, I’m just saying that the sort of completely warped morality that “Kel is defying tradition” *could* be construed to be a really extreme end of Puff values. This is if we must adhere to Rowling’s rather arbitrary, IMO, system of houses.
My suggestion is to mix it up to address/explore gaps in either canon:
a) If you are going to do a Hogwarts AU anyway, consider exploring minor characters like Zahir, who is himself subject to prejudice, as a Bazhir. I bet a lot of his bullying was due to that (not that that’s an excuse! Just that people who are bullied sometimes do bully others). I also find it interesting that he apparently decided to stop bullying after first year. We never really hear from him after that. Or, put Vinson in Hufflepuff and write a reformed Vinson fic, maybe (or, not reformed, but I guess, an AU where he sees the error of his ways).
b) What exactly is Kel going to fight for? In canon her whole arc is fighting for girls’ rights to be knights. What will her arc be like in your fic? Where/who will she crusade for in HP? Perhaps she’ll crusade for the house system to be abolished? I’ve seen a fair few Hogwarts fics where the house system is done away with altogether. Or will she be protecting Muggleborns perhaps, if she is one? Or go for werewolves and vampires?
Put Kel in Slyth and let her flounder her way out of that one. I’ve read a lot of fics/theories where the kids are put in totally unexpected houses and it actually helps them develop their weaknesses.
Sorry, I probably haven’t answered your question. Just some food for thought. Re: houses, I tend to agree with what oskarshai has said regarding characterisation. I read Kel as pretty solidly Puff, so if you want to stick to the most likely houses in canon, perhaps go with that. Most of her actions (bravery) are motivated by a desire for justice, which is heavily Puff. Even Neal shows shades of Puff.
I know you’re not doing SOTL, but Alanna reads much more Gryffindor to me. On the discord, someone suggested Alanna defies the rules, so she’s Gryff. All her actions in SOTL are motivated by a desire to make the rules apply to her. Not “let’s change the rules so it’s fair for everyone” but “Let me break the rules, since they’re not fair”. Alanna is very, very, very solidly focused on her hero’s journey.

**sneezes** LE GASP **Chokes again** **dies on the spot** OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I was just about to start on the fic when oml everything appeared THANK YOU!! And yes, Alanna is definitely a Gryffindor mistrali I actually did a Hogwarts fic about her before— I think. And oskarshai THANK YOU SO MUCH TOO my gosh this is what I needed… mistrali actually I wasn’t thinking of featuring Kel fight-style, but rather as the helpful friend trying to get Neal through his love-crisis with Yuki - The new transfer student from the Japanese version of Hogwarts. Then Roald, Cleon, Merric, Faleron and pretty much everyone else are the friends teasing Neal (remember the soppy ballad incident with Uline? Or daine or someone, but I’m pretty sure Uline) anyways thank you very much! Maybe I’ll do an SOTL after this, but it’s meant to be romance-ish anyway

I'm with mistrali in thinking that the House system kind of has some pitfalls and contradictions inherent in it. To me, it is sort of predicated around viewing people in a fairly one-dimensional light as being defined by a single trait instead of acknowledging that people can have multiple traits that define them. It also doesn't seem to allow for much capacity for change and growth, which I believe is an especially glaring oversight given that it is teenagers at Hogwarts that are being Sorted into these Houses. Teenage years are filled with growth and change. Someone could behave one way at eleven, and be totally different seven years later. So the House system seems very rigid to me in that way. I also think that with many traits there is a great potential for overlap. For example, Hufflepuffs are supposed to work hard, but I imagine that clever Ravenclaws work hard in school or in research too, and that ambitious Slytherins work hard to achieve their goals. So, is hard work a uniquely Hufflepuff trait? I bet there are plenty of hard-working people in other Houses. I also believe that JK Rowling tended to Sort characters more by convenience than by traits that they actually display. Like Slytherin is supposed to be the House for ambitious, determined, resourceful, and cunning people. Yet it is basically treated as the House where JK Rowling can conveniently dump her villains and antagonists even if those villains and antagonists show no real signs of ambition, determination, resourcefulness, or cunning (and I have problems with equating ambition, determination, and resourcefulness with evil, anyway). Crabbe and Goyle certainly show no traces of ambition, cunning, determination, or resourcefulness. They let Malfoy do all their thinking for them. They basically only exist to be Malfoy's muscular henchman. So probably they really belong in Hufflepuff since their defining trait as far as having one is loyalty to Malfoy. All that is basically my long-winded way of saying that I think Sorting people into Houses is fraught with issues, but my best attempts would be: Neal-I very much get a know-it-all, clever vibe from him, and books and learning seem to be his main passion in life. He doesn't really even want to become a knight and wouldn't have trained as one if his older brothers didn't die. Otherwise, he would have remained at the Royal University. So, my inclination would be to place him in Ravenclaw. Yuki-She is described as being quite bold, so I think either Gryffindor, or because there does seem to be this mischievious streak to her, maybe even Slytherin. As I said, I'm trying to get away from only associating Slytherin with villains since not all villains are ambitious, resourceful, determined, and cunning, and ambition and other Slytherin traits aren't inherently evil. So I like the idea of Slytherin Yuki, and I actually think a Ravenclaw/Slytherin pairing could make for a compelling dynamic. Kel-I do see her as a Hufflepuff. She to me has all the traits of a Hufflepuff: hard-work, fairness, loyalty, and a focus on doing her duty above all else. I almost see her bravery as being an extension of her Hufflepuff traits. She is brave because she has to be in order to make the world a fairer place and to do what she identifies as her duty. Dom-For some reason, I want to put him in Slytherin. He does seem to have ambition to me and I do picture him as resourceful and with a somewhat irreverent streak. I could maybe see Hufflepuff (but I don't think of Hufflepuffs joking as much as he does) or Gryffindor, but he doesn't seem to have a wild courage that I'd imagine from Gryffindors. Shinko-I could see her as a Hufflepuff for her dutifulness or since I headcanon her as quite strategic, maybe a Ravenclaw. I think a lot depends on how you want to characterize Shinko. Roald-He screams Hufflepuff to me. His greatest commitment seems to be to fairness. Like he goes out of his way to rotate whom he sits with as a page because he wants to be fair. Haname-I don't think we learn to much about her in canon, but I'll just assign her to Ravenclaw on the grounds I headcanon her as smart. Haralit-Main thing we learn about him is he is the head of the Royal University, so I'd be inclined to go with Ravenclaw for this academic fellow. Joren-He is cunning enough that I'd put him in Slytherin. Garvey and Vinson-They don't seem brave. They don't seem clever. They don't seem particularly cunning or ambitious or determined or resourceful. They don't even seem as loyal to Joren as Crabbe and Goyle were to Malfoy. So I wouldn't even really put them into a House. They don't really have a trait besides being bullies/evil, and I think it is problematic to just dump evil people into Slytherin when they don't actually embody the traits of that House. Merric-For some reason that streak of temper he has makes me think Gryffindor. Gryffindor is a House for hotheads in my opinion. Owen-I'd plop him in Gryffindor. Wild courage seems to be his defining trait. If not Gryffindor, then Hufflepuff for his loyalty to Kel and willingness to confront Wyldon when he thinks Wyldon isn't being fair. Even then, though I think that is more an extension of his courage. Cleon-He's a prankster but fairly easygoing, so I'd think Gryffindor might be a good fit for him. Faleron-He seems fairly calm and level-headed in the little bit of page time that he gets in the books. Maybe a Ravenclaw or a Hufflepuff?

I’ve had several years to cement my... uh, disappointment with HP as a franchise and Rowling as a writer, so I’m very much “shake it up and make a nice smoothie” when it comes to those books.
