Artemis Hexley and the Circle of Khanna

Chapter 20: The Sunken Vault

A/N: it’s time to face the final Cursed Vault, but is Artemis really ready for what’s inside? Warnings: scenes of violence and trauma, flashbacks, mild horror, mentions of murder.

Mr Maestro was as good as his word. On the final day of the month, after the summer term had already started and Bill had set off to Uganda on his expedition with Gringotts, Artemis received a heavy parcel in the morning post.

“Early birthday present?” asked Tonks.

“In a way,” Artemis replied, able to feel the frame of the lyre through the packaging. “We need to have a meeting with the rest of the Circle of Khanna. Penny, do you reckon you could let everyone know to meet at lunchtime?”

When it came to spreading news, no one was better than Penny Haywood. By lunchtime, the whole of the Circle of Khanna knew to meet at the lakeshore.

“We’ve got the lyre fixed,” Artemis told them. “We can go to the final Vault now. Not right now, Barnaby,” she added, and Barnaby stopped removing his shoes. “I mean later.”

“Later today?”

“Yeah, we could,” Artemis nodded, gnawing at her lower lip as she looked across the lake, in the direction of Hogsmeade station. “So, I know Bill isn’t going to be able to come with us, but I’ve spoken to my brother and he’s offered to help. He’s worried about how safe this is going to be, especially with so many of us going. He wanted it to be just him and me, but-”

“Typical,” muttered Merula, glaring at Artemis.

“I’m sorry?”

“I said that this is just typical,” Merula repeated. “You get all of us involved and then go ditch us to do your own thing as soon as your brother is involved.”

“Actually, that wasn’t what I was going to suggest at all,” said Artemis. “I actually told Jacob that you should come to the Vault, Merula. Rakepick trained you up just as much as she did me.”

Merula’s violet eyes widened. “You did?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh. Right. Yeah. Thanks.”

“You’re welcome. I mean, I did want all of you to come, but Jacob said that we shouldn’t draw too much attention to ourselves, and he’s got a point.”

“In case Rakepick is still about?”

“Well, yeah, but it’s not just her. The dementors are still around, the Aurors are looking for him as well as Rakepick, and Dumbledore has told us to leave the Vaults alone. Now that term’s started again, it’s going to look suspicious, all of us diving into the lake, especially with my brother as well.”

“So, what are you suggesting?”

“Some of us need to stay behind to either distract the teachers or keep watch.”

“Tonks and I can set up some distractions,” said Tulip, smirking to herself. “I’ve already got a couple of ideas.”

“Anything I can help with?” Jae asked.

“Almost certainly.”

“Well, that’s that settled,” Artemis nodded. “Anyone else got a preference?”

“I don’t mind keeping watch,” offered Badeea. “There’s an excellent view of the lakeshore from Ravenclaw tower. Andre, Talbott, you could stay with me?”

“I’ll keep watch, but I’d rather do it from the air,” Talbott said quietly. “Alone.”

“Me, Liz, Ismelda, Charlie, and Alanza can stay behind to deal with the Grindylows,” said Barnaby. “And if there’s any trouble with any baddies or anything, Diego and I can fight them, too.”

“That’s… um… great, Barnaby. Thanks.”

“Chiara and I will stay behind at the Hospital Wing in case anyone gets hurt and needs healing,” Penny suggested, looking at Barnaby out of the corner of her eyes. “I’m rather good at Wiggenweld potions, if I do say so myself.”

“And it means we can keep an eye on the statue curse victims. If they get back to normal, we’ll know you’ve managed it.”

“Good point,” Artemis nodded at Chiara before turning to the remaining member of the group. “That just leaves you, Ben. What do you fancy doing?”

Ben frowned silently, his eyes fixed on the silt at his feet. Eventually, he looked up. When he did, he looked straight at Artemis.

“I want to go to the Cursed Vault,” he said, and Artemis blinked.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes,” Ben nodded. “It seems right to go. The first time we found anything to do with the Vaults, it was you and me and Rowan. It was the three of us in the beginning, and now we are ending the Curses once and for all, I… I want to be there to do it. Actually there. For Rowan.”

Artemis swallowed and gave Ben a small smile. She looked around the Circle of Khanna, before fixing her eyes on the still surface of the Black Lake.

“For Rowan.”

With the lyre fixed and a plan in place, everything was ready. As night began to fall over the Hogwarts grounds, the Circle of Khanna took to their positions. Standing on the lakeshore with Ben and Merula, Artemis fired red sparks into the dusky air.

She shivered as she waited for Jacob, though the evening was not cold. What if he didn’t show up? What if he had been hurt, or captured, or had changed his mind? What if he let her down again? The few minutes following her signal seemed to last an age, and the longer she waited, the more she found herself pushing back her sense of panic. He would be there. He had promised that he would be there.

Jacob kept his promise. Just as Artemis was considering going down the secret passageway to find him herself, he emerged from the boathouse with his head lowered and his hood up, his wand tightly clutched in his hand.

“Three of you?” he asked, frowning at Ben and Merula, the latter of whom glowered at him. He glanced at Artemis before nodding his head. “Okay then. No time like the present. Let’s return this lyre.”

"We need to find Alanza first, she’s the one who can speak-”

“I can negotiate with the merpeople,” said Jacob, and he smirked at the confused look on Artemis’ face. “What? You really think I never bothered to teach myself a little Mermish?”

He winked and Artemis rolled her eyes as she followed him to the jetty, Merula and Ben in tow. One by one, they cast the bubblehead charm and jumped into the water. Beneath the surface, the water was just as murky as it had been earlier that month.

“Where did you meet the merfolk before?”

“Near here,” said Artemis, her voice muffled in spite of how loudly she was trying to speak. “We went that way, and then they just turned up.”

“Then let’s go that way.”

They walked along the bed of the lake, further into the deep water than they had been when the merpeople had found them before. They must have reached a settlement of sorts, presumably where the merfolk lived, for they started to see signs of habitation: huts made of driftwood, tools lain on the floor, rocks carved into statues, and strings of shells and pebbles hanging like garlands.

“It’s a village,” said Ben. “Are you sure we’re allowed to be here?”

Either Jacob hadn’t heard Ben or was ignoring him, for he was already starting to call out in Mermish. Though Artemis couldn’t understand his words, she could hear them clearly, and so must have the merfolk, for several mermen and mermaids emerged from the huts. As a few of them picked up their weapons, Jacob spoke hurriedly, and gestured to the lyre that Artemis was holding in her arms. After a brief exchange of words and an ever briefer flurry of activity, a younger-looking merman was sent away, only to return a few moments later with the merman who had given them the lyre.

The merman eyed Jacob sceptically, and held out one hand to Artemis without saying a word. She handed him the instrument, and he examined it closely before calling to two of his peers and giving them instructions.

“We need to follow them,” said Jacob, nodding at the two merfolk. “They will take us to the Vault.”

“How do you say thank you in Mermish?” Artemis asked, and once Jacob had said the phrase she repeated it slowly and carefully to the Merchief, who inclined his head and waved her on her way.

Artemis, Jacob, Merula, and Ben travelled a long distance through the water, or at least it felt that way. The two merpeople who had been tasked with guiding them to the Cursed Vault were powerful swimmers, and it was tiring trying - and failing - to match their pace. When they eventually slowed down, Artemis assumed that the merpeople had realised that the humans were struggling to follow them, but instead they turned to Jacob and spoke to him, gesturing into the distance.

“What’s the matter? What’s going on?”

“They won’t go any further. They’re too afraid.”

The merpeople did look skittish, their grey skin paler than when they had set off and a tremor to their voices that hadn’t been present back at the village. Artemis sighed.

“So now what?” she asked, and Jacob nodded in the direction in which the merfolk had been gesturing.

“We have to go that way. They said we are looking for a cave.”

“Did they say what the cave looks like?”

“No. Only that it feels evil,” said Jacob, his face grim in the greenish glow of the water. “Sounds like it’s the right place, anyway.”

Artemis thanked their guides, who swam away even faster than they had been swimming before, leaving a rush of small silver bubbles in their wake. The curse-breakers went ahead without them, following their instructions until the outline of something tall could be seen through the dark, dirty water ahead.

“Is that-”

“The cave? It must be.”

As they approached it, the shape became clearer. It was a tall pile of stones, extending from a deep ravine in the floor of the lake towards the surface, towering over the completely still inky water around it.

“Is it just me,” said Ben, “or is the water cleaner here?”

“It’s because there’s nothing living here,” Merula replied, looking around at the now crystal-clear water. “Nothing alive wants to be near that Vault.”

“What do you think is inside?”

Ben’s question went unanswered, neither Artemis nor Merula able to think what might provoke such a strong reaction, or such a feeling of intense evil. Beatrice Haywood’s words echoed through Artemis’ mind as she looked towards the rocks.

That’s the worst one of all of them… Every time I try to swim away, it’s like I’m being pulled back down…

There was an opening within the rock formation, and they swam in, finding themselves in a wide cave, which had yet another opening to a smaller, darker cave. Stepping inside, Artemis saw that the walls were dripping, and water was pooling at her feet.

“Hang on,” she said, surprised at how loud her voice sounded. “We aren’t underwater anymore!”

She removed her Bubblehead charm and took a deep breath, feeling the stagnant, clammy air enter her lungs.

“How does that work?” Ben asked, following suit. “We are still underwater, why-”

“It’s magic, Copper, you moron.”

Artemis shrugged apologetically at Ben and followed Merula to another gap in the rock formation. She lit her wand and shone it inside, revealing yet another smaller cave.

“How long does this go on for, do you think?” she murmured, knowing fully well that the only way to find out would be to keep moving through the rocks, deeper into the system of caves.

The four of them did just that, following the path through the enchanted rocks, through the caves which got smaller and smaller, until they reached a dead end.

“This must be it,” said Artemis, and Jacob nodded. He stepped back, and gestured for Artemis to take the lead. She raised her wand. “Revelio!”

She had expected another opening to form in the rocks, or for a door to appear, like in the previous Cursed Vaults. What she hadn’t expected was the rumbling of the ground and the walls of the cave, for the whole space around her to shift, for the rocks to move so that they formed seven walls, or for a glowing golden column to rise from the centre. They had not just found the opening to the Cursed Vault, they were already inside it.

“But there’s nothing guarding it,” whispered Artemis, more to herself than anyone else. She frowned. The relative ease with which they had reached the vault made her feel uneasy. “It should be fighting back.”

“Try and open it,” said Jacob, also looking somewhat sceptical. Artemis stepped forward to touch the column, and he grabbed her wrist, pulling her back forcefully. “Legilimency first!”

Artemis nodded, and wriggled free of Jacob’s grip, which had been so tight that it had left pink marks. She stared at the glowing crystal, willing it to open…

But it did not. She shrugged. “Looks like I’m just going to have to touch it, doesn’t it?”

“No, Artemis, wait-”

Jacob fell silent the second Artemis’ palm made contact with the cool surface of the column, which immediately stopped glowing. Without the glow of the column, the Vault was pitch black. Artemis frowned and waved her hand in front of her face. She could not see it.

“Jacob?” She called out, but there was no response. “Merula? Ben?”

Silence. Silence and darkness. She shuddered, suddenly feeling more afraid and hopeless than she had ever felt in her life, surrounded only by the endless expanse of nothingness.

Then, she heard a voice. She stepped towards the sound, straining to see who was there.

“Jacob?”

It was Jacob, but he was taller than before and younger looking, too. When he knelt down, his eyes were level with hers.

“I’ll be back at Christmas,” he told her, and she felt a tear running down her cheek. “And I’ll write to you every week until then, I promise.”

“Why can’t I come with you?” Artemis found herself asking, her voice more childlike than usual. “I want to go, too.”

“You will one day, Missy,” said Jacob, wiping her cheek and ruffling her hair. “Take care of mum for me whilst I’m gone.”

He stepped away from her, and a hand on her shoulder stopped her from following him. There was the sound of a whistle, and the smell of smoke, the gentle chugging sound of a train… As the sound faded and Jacob disappeared, Artemis saw a stone archway standing on a daïs in front of her. Before she could stop them, her feet were carrying her towards it.

“ARTEMIS, NO!”

A woman’s voice, and a familiar one at that. She stopped dead in her tracks and turned around, but no one was there. She was all alone, surrounded by doors. She reached up to open one, but it was locked. Her heart started beating fast, there were shouts and crashes behind her, and she was scared. She stepped backwards and the doors began to spin around her, so fast she felt dizzy, and she screwed her eyes shut. When she opened them again, the doors had gone.

Her mother stood in front of her, her face pale and eyes puffy. Jacob was beside her, a grim expression on his face. They both looked young, though Jacob was not as young as he had been before, when the train had been there. She frowned, and her mother nodded her head, tears welling in her eyes.

“Ma?” she asked, and Sara Hexley closed her eyes. “Jacob?”

Jacob pointed his wand at her, and the darkness returned. In the distance, fireworks were bursting in the sky. Artemis lowered her gaze, and saw Jacob on the street outside her house. He raised a hand to her and walked away to the end of the street, disappearing between the flashes of two fireworks. She was alone, and she was crying, and a blackbird was flying, flying away from her… And her mother wouldn’t hug her, or even look at her, and Reggie the Muggle was packing up his boat, and she felt abandoned all over again. The darkness settled over her once more, and something grabbed her ankle.

“Rowan, it’s got me!” she shouted, desperately trying to fight against the thick vines that were reaching out from the darkness and grabbing her, trapping her, ensnaring her…

Suddenly she was free, but when she looked down, Fergus’ tiny body was limp in her arms. She looked up, and Rowan was hit by a bolt of ice. Artemis ran to her, but she disappeared. Instead, there was a Boggart advancing on her, its face shifting between Jacob’s and her own as it moved closer through the darkness. It’s features changed again, and it was Fenrir Greyback. A red cloak appeared over it, and it raised its wand. Charlie fell to the ground, and so did Rowan. Artemis looked back and the cloak was lifted to reveal Ben Copper’s face. She shook her head, and Rowan was in Ben’s place.

“Your friends are already a part of this,” said Rowan, her eyes glazed and voice monotonous. “Before the end of this year, one of them has to die.”

A jet of red light hit Rowan in the chest and Artemis turned to see Rakepick sitting calmly at her desk, her wand pointed at Artemis. There was another flash of light and Artemis watched her wand split apart in her hands. She snapped her head back up to Rakepick, who was now on her feet.

“Crucio.”

A man writhed on the floor in front of Artemis, and so did Merula, both of them were in pain, so much pain, and they were screaming, and so was Artemis, as Jacob walked away from her again, and Bill sailed away across the lake on a boat with his friends.

“I’m not Bill,” said a voice behind her - Charlie’s voice.

“I wish you were,” Artemis said, but she didn’t mean to say it, she didn’t mean it at all, but she had said it, and now Charlie was hurt and he was walking away from her, too.

She went to run after him, but everything went dark again. That horrible feeling of unending despair had taken over her once more. She was in the forest, and it was cold. A dementor floated in front of her, and try as she might, she could not cast her patronus.

But someone else could. Rakepick. She raised her wand and pointed it at Ben, but Rowan jumped out from the trees and they both fell, and Artemis ran towards them, and Rowan was in her arms and she was gone, gone, gone…

A hand took hold of Artemis’ own, and Rowan really was gone, and so was the forest. Artemis was in the Cursed Vault, which was no longer quite so dark. She looked down at her hand and up at the person who was holding it.

“Come on, Hexley,” said Merula, pulling her across to where Ben Copper was stumbling around as if he were blind, shaking and crying silently.

Merula placed her other hand into Ben’s and though he continued to shake, he blinked at his surroundings, clearly able to see them.

“What… What was that?” he asked, a distinct tremor in his voice.

“That was the Vault fighting back.”

Artemis took a deep shaky breath and looked for Jacob. He had his hands placed to his head and was murmuring to himself under his breath.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” he whispered into his palms. Artemis reached out and took one of his hands in hers, and as she did, he blinked. “Artemis?”

“We need to get out of here,” said Artemis, looking at the column with contempt. “This place, it’s… We can’t stay here.”

Jacob frowned and nodded. He raised his wand and pointed it at the wall that had previously been the opening in the rock formation.

“Bombarda!”

The wall exploded, with pieces of rock flying out into the cave outside the Vault. Back in the cave, Merula quickly let go of Artemis and Ben’s hands.

“Well?” Artemis asked them. “Do you still… Has it stopped?”

Merula nodded, and Artemis let go of Jacob’s hand. The visions from inside the Vault did not return, but she still felt shaken.

“That was awful,” said Ben. “Did the rest of you see that? All the worst things that have ever happened to you?” Artemis nodded, and he frowned at the Vault. “Did you feel it, too? Like you’d never feel anything good again?”

“I felt it,” Artemis told him, before turning to look at Jacob. “We need to break the curse. How do we do it?”

“I don’t know.”

Merula blinked at Jacob. “You don’t know?”

“No,” replied Jacob, simply.

“But you’re the one with all that research! You spent all those years studying the Vaults. You spent years inside one of the Vaults. How can you not know?”

“It’s not like I could go to the library when I was stuck in there, is it?” Jacob snapped at Merula, and her violet eyes widened. He immediately softened. “Sorry. But there is a reason that I don’t know. No one does, that’s the issue. No one has broken this Vault before, if they had…”

“Then the Cursed Vaults wouldn’t still be here,” Artemis finished her brother’s sentence for him. “So, what do we do? We’ve got to try something.”

“We’ll need to go back inside,” said Jacob, frowning at the glowing column. “It would be worth you trying Legilimency again. If not, there might be a clue inside the Vault itself. Worst case scenario, we can seal it.”

“Seal it?”

“Close it.”

“We all know what sealing means,” Merula muttered. “But last time we had to open it up. How is doing the opposite going to help?”

“It will stop the curse’s effect. It’s what Patricia did after I got stuck last time. It was too late for me, but… The problem is, it means that the curse won’t be properly broken. You won’t have any more statues, but I don’t know about the people who are already statues.”

“Okay, that’s fine,” said Artemis. “We can stop more people getting hurt, look into how to get past this curse, and come back another day to save everyone else.”

But Jacob shook his head.

“It’s not that simple,” he told her. “The Vaults are sequential. If you fail to open one and seal it instead, you have to start over. That’s why I left the trail for you to follow, I couldn’t get you to free me from the Buried Vault without opening the others first.”

“But even if we do have to open them all, it will still buy us some time to find out how to break it properly.”

From the other side of the cave came a low chuckle, one that sounded familiar in Artemis’ ears and made her blood run cold. She wasn’t the only one to react. Merula’s face paled, Ben looked nauseated, and Jacob grabbed hold of her arm and pulled her back behind him.

“I think it is obvious how to break the curse,” said Patricia Rakepick, stepping across the cave towards them, her eyes on Jacob, who tightened his grip on Artemis’ arm. “You can’t protect her forever, Jacob.”

“No,” Jacob said, a note of fear in his voice. “You promised not to hurt her. You promised that-”

“I promised that I would try it your way,” Rakepick told him. “You have tried it your way. Now, we go back to my plan. To R’s plan.”

“We can try again. She can try again. She can do it, she’s the one to do it.”

“Clearly not.”

“Patricia, please don’t do this. I’ll do anything.”

Jacob’s voice was almost cracking with emotion. Rakepick sighed deeply, and a flicker of something softer than disappointment entered her usually callous eyes.

“How many more people would you have die for this, Hexley?” she asked him.

“None,” replied Jacob, shaking his head “No more. And not her. Not Artemis, please. She can do it, trust me.”

Rakepick laughed, a harsh sound. “Oh, Jacob. I don’t think there’s a single person alive or dead who trusts you anymore.”

She raised her wand, and Jacob drew his, stepping in front of Artemis to shield her. But before either of them had the chance to cast the first spell, there was a shout from across the cave.

“INCARCERUS!”

With a flash of light, Merula had pointed her wand at Madam Rakepick and conjured a thick rope that coiled around her chest, binding her arms to her sides.

“Bet you wish you’d never taught us that spell, Professor,” Merula sneered, lowering her wand slowly and staring at Rakepick with look of mingled disgust and fury. Rakepick cocked a sardonic eyebrow.

“Well,” she said quietly, a smirk playing on her lips. “Looks like you can fly after all, little bird.”

Merula blinked. “What?”

But before Rakepick could answer, Ben pointed his wand at her, and silently issued a red flash of light that hit her square in the chest and knocked her unconscious. Artemis and Merula stared at him.

“She can use wandless magic, remember?” he said. “We don’t want her doing what she did in the Vault last year.”

“Good thinking,” Artemis nodded, her front teeth grazing her lower lip. “Right. We don’t have much time, so we’re just going to have to seal the Vault and hope for the best. We have to take Rakepick to the Aurors. She deserves to go to prison for what she did to Rowan.”

“She deserves worse than that,” Merula muttered, her eyebrows still furrowed deeply. “We should kill her.”

“Merula!”

“She would have done the same to you, Hexley.”

“Yeah, but that doesn’t make it right,” Artemis said, and she turned to Jacob. “Does it?”

“No, it doesn’t,” her brother agreed with a sigh. “Besides, she knows so much about the Cursed Vaults. More than almost anyone. We can’t let that knowledge go to waste, especially if you want to seal the Vault and try again another time.”

“I do.”

“Then we can’t kill her,” Jacob said, simply. He raised his eyebrows slightly. “But we could… No.”

“What?”

“Well, we could shut her in the Vault before we seal it.”

“In there?” Artemis frowned and looked at the Vault. “But, those visions…”

“It will keep her alive and on hand to break the final curse,” Jacob reasoned. “She might be more amenable to the idea of helping us after a stint in that place.”

“Or she might be even more unhinged than she is already!”

“Patricia is a lot of things, Artemis. Unhinged isn’t one of them.”

“I think it’s a great idea, personally,” said Merula. “No less than she deserves.”

“No. No one deserves that. Not even Rakepick,” Artemis said, decisively. “We do what Ben says. We give her to the Aurors. And we seal the Vault. If everyone that’s been a statue comes back to life, brilliant. If not, we can visit Rakepick in Azkaban prison and ask her how to break the curse properly another time.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. Now, let’s seal this thing and get back to the shore.”

When they returned to the shore, a still bound and unconscious Rakepick in tow, they found a larger welcome party than they had expected gathered by the water’s edge: the entire Circle of Khanna, Professors Dumbledore and Snape, and a handful of witches and wizards in Aurors’ uniforms, one of whom Artemis recognised as Mad-Eye Moody, the Auror who had interviewed her in the Hospital Wing in December. As Artemis, Jacob, Merula, and Ben emerged from the water, his magical blue eye fixed on Rakepick, and he strode over to meet them.

“So, these teenagers are telling the truth,” he said gruffly, casting a look over his shoulder at the Circle of Khanna. “Patricia Rakepick really did enter the lake this evening. Though it looks like we weren’t really needed to apprehend the criminal after all. Stunning charm?” he asked, looking between Artemis, Merula and Ben as Jacob lowered his gaze to the floor, his dark hair casting a shadow over half of his face. When the other three nodded, Moody looked mildly impressed. “Good work, Miss Hexley.”

“Oh no,” said Artemis. “It was all Merula and Ben, really.”

But Moody did not seem to care who had truly caught Rakepick, for he did not say another word before he pointed his wand at her, and she awoke looking mildly dazed.

“Patricia Rakepick, my name is Alastor Moody. I am placing you under arrest - once again - for your involvement with the criminal organisation ‘R’, and for the murder of Rowan Khanna. You will be sent to Azkaban prison until the time comes for you to be trialled by the Wizengamot for your crimes, and if found guilty, you shall remain in Azkaban for the entirety of your sentence.”

He held on to one of Rakepick’s bound arms and escorted her back across the shore to the rest of the Aurors. As he walked away, Artemis felt a hand on her upper arm.

“Artemis, look at me,” said Jacob, and she did. He bent down slightly so that his eyes were level with hers. “You trust me, don’t you? No matter what happens, or what anyone says?”

Artemis frowned, but nodded her head. “Why?”

Jacob did not reply, but he kissed Artemis on the top of her head and squeezed her upper arms before straightening up and following Mad Eye Moody, taking large strides in an attempt to catch up with the Auror.

“Wait!” Jacob called out, and when Moody stopped and turned around, he threw his wand down at his feet and held his hands up at the level of his shoulders. “My name is Jacob Odysseus Hexley. I was also involved with the criminal organisation ‘R’, and I was responsible for the death of Duncan Ashe in 1981.”

“No,” Artemis said, and realising she had said the word out loud, she repeated it, louder this time. “NO!”

But neither Jacob nor Moody, nor any of the other Aurors paid her any attention. Jacob was bound and escorted away, leaving Artemis to watch, powerless, as her brother left her once more.

o, to embrace the dark acadamia of writing poetry in the ravenclaw common room, drinking firewhisky and reading classics, quoting philosophers with fellow intellectuals deep into the night.

to walk the grounds menacingly amongst a tight friend group, only to leap into the gigantic pillow fortress you’ve all made the second you’ve uttered the password to the slytherin dungeon, taking turns to tell ghost stories.

to be an arthoe hufflepuff who has too many plants to possibly be able to provide equal attention to, stitching colourful patches onto your jeans where you ripped them climbing trees with your best friend.

to invite all your mates to your dorm room to dance to muggle music playing off of your smuggled-in record player, jumping on beds and waving the gryffindor colours above your heads.

basically to be a hogwarts student untroubled by yearly visits from voldemort and unworried about a great war, living out your magical youth as one rightfully should

Ok. How was that creepy chick you talk to considered for Ravenclaw and HUFFLEPUFF and not Slytherin. Literally HOW.

Hufflepuff is a mystery, but I believe she is the very definition of a Ravenclaw. The hat did not err in her placement.

She seeks knowledge for its own sake, without some grand master plan of what to do with it. She certainly does not feel as though she has anything to prove, not to her peers, and I am getting the sense that while she respects me, she feels she has nothing to prove to me, either. Slytherins, on the other hand, regardless what they say to the contrary, always seem to be trying to prove themselves, their value and worth, especially to people they respect and admire.

She is also willing to toss any notion of tradition out the window - legacies, customs, general consensus, these things mean little to her. A Slytherin would be appalled.

No, she is, very much a Ravenclaw.

Is best friends with Sayaka. Do not fight me on this

Needs to go to therapy. Honestly, who doesn’t in that school

Oh and Hello to you today you fine and brilliantly skilled author who I have came to love and adore, you see I know I’d already recently requested something from you but I had a taste of your absolutely amazingly fine talent and just had to come back for more

Ya see, this person here (hem hem, me) would like to ask if she could request something dealing with Young Remus Lupin Remmy Boi being a sweet older brother during the summer to his adoptive sister who is almost his age and very gay and him letting her hang out with him and the Mauraders because her friends were douchbags and skippy skip to Remus letting her rant about it while they sit in his bed, her head in his lap while she’s curled up in a ball and he’s half-heartedly reading while talking to her about her douche-bag friends before he cuddles his sis to his chest and lets her sleep in his bed that night

Anywho, sorry for annoyin you again but I’ve had a shit day and wanted to relax with one of my fav authors and a cuppa tea

baby i was so excited to write this, my internal message to homophobes lies within this one shot. y/n’s vent gave me very “gia ranting her her friends about being bi and it should be nobodies business”

my little sister

brother!remus lupin x fem!reader, girlfriend!marlene mckinnon x fem!reader

warnings: homophobia, mentions of slurs, mentions of conversion camp, angst? but not rly, fluffy remus, WOLFSTAR💋, swearing, jokingly mentions of murder, big brother energy from remus, um mentions of penises and masterbating😭, lowkey ravenclaw slander (ONLY MALES I PROMISE) and y/n being a baddie

word count: 1.3k

you were.... happy. yes, not in a sarcastic way. you had finally found a girl that didn’t just want to be your friend, or hate crime you. you found a girl that you wanted to kiss, a girl you wanted to love and girl that reciprocated that love. but unfortunately for you, your love choices had consequences and everyone else thought it was there business, commenting on it.

“𝗼𝗶, 𝗹𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗻! 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗲’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝘆𝗲𝘁?”

“𝗰’𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗻, 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗲𝘁?”

“𝗶 𝗯𝗲𝘁 𝘆/𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿. 𝗶 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗲’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹.”

“𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗲, 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁? 𝗶 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗶’𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.”

so to society, you weren’t normal. the worst part was you weren’t always the one hearing it, the girls in your dorm heard it, your brother heard about it and his best friends also happen to hear about it. that also never happened to stop them from shooting a hex or 20 in someone’s direction but, nonetheless, you “weren’t normal.”

you were sitting in the library studying next to your gorgeous girlfriend, marlene mckinnon. oh did something as innocent as studying get flipped into so much more, both of you working on mcgonagalls transfiguration homework. all fine and well until the 7th year ravenclaws decided to crawl up your butt and die.

“i see you two haven’t been sent away yet.”

“aw well if it isn’t the two girls who think they’re in love.”

“the two fa-“

one of the boys didn’t even get to finish his sentence before your wand was pinned against his neck, and suddenly he was speechless.

“‘m gonna say this as delicately as possible to spare your shit feelings but, before you finish your very derogatory sentence i would love for you to reconsider your words.” you started, “i personally think it’s hilarious that you gits are so bothered by whomst m’intimate with.”

“for being known as the smart house, you 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 are so bloody stupid. i could rip out my own brain and give it to you and it still wouldn’t be enough for you to learn how to mind your damn business.” you said firmly, “your 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗸 has sunken into the air, so me and my girlfriend are going to get going.”

you took your wand away from his neck before the 3 boys scrambled to the other side of the library, in fear. you gathered both you, and marlene’s things before slinging your bags over your shoulder and walking out of the library. before you could turn the corner, her other arm gripped your arm putting you both to a halt.

you turned towards her beet red face, and eyes shining in adoration. “dude, i think that was the hottest thing you have ever done.” she said before pulling you into a lip lock outside of the library. would you have been very nervous in any other situation?absolutely. i mean you were kissing a female, in public, at school, in 1975. but in this moment you couldn’t care less about anything or anyone, just the beautiful girl that you were besotted with kissing you right now.

“good.” you giggled as you pulled away before pulling her arm in the direction of one of the hidden corridors.

the next time you found yourself diminished over your sexuality, you went to people who you genuinely felt safe and comfortable with. you burst through the marauders dorm, forgetting to knock but quickly covering your eyes.

“i really hope none of you are masterbating right now, because i’m sure as not in the mood to see a penis.”

“c’mon mini-moony, you’re literally never in the mood to see a penis.” sirius replied, you uncovered your eyes and saw sirius walk over to remus’ bed and put his head on remus’ shoulder, and a light blush covered both of there faces. james on the other hand was on the floor writing lily, one of the only other people who supported you, another love letter.

“ok so let me start, sirius and remus please splash some cold water on your face. james, get off your arse and actually be a normal person and try and have a normal conversation with lily because i assure you she doesn’t even read those letters. and the grand finale, if i get called 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 one more damn time necks will be broken and body parts and fluids will scatter on the floor.” you huffed, and sat at end of remus’ bed nonchalantly.

at the part of your mini-monologue where you mentioned being called a slur, james and sirius happened to jump from where they were, surrounding you with questions. “who called you that?!” “i need names, now, mini-moony.” meanwhile remus aggressively grabbed his wand and made a bee-line to the door. “OI! BROTHER OF MINE.” remus stopped at the sound of your voice and turned around, his grip on the wand leaving his knuckles a shade of white. “sit. now.” he scoffed before sitting on the bed staring straight at you.

you debated for a moment, before looking at remus. “lucius malfoy and his toerag puppy dog, evan rosier.” you shrugged before all of them made a run at the door, messily grabbing their wands stomping down the stairs leading to the common room.

as fifth year came to an end, summer eventually came to a start. as you were unpacking your trunk and putting your clothes in there rightful spots in your dresser before you heard a knock at the door. “come in!”

remus opened the door, leaning against the frame. “hey, you okay?” he knew it was a stupid question to ask, but ever since you came into his family he felt a sense of protectiveness over you. he would always look at you like a little girl who needed her laces double knotted because she would trip on them, and how she needed to climb on furniture to grab something and especially when his little sister wasn’t his little sister anymore and became and illegal animagus for him.

“having your picture with nice little names on them, i’m brilliant.” you said sarcastically before sitting on your bed and remus following your lead. he leaned his back against the headboard as you threw your head on his lap, curling yourself to make yourself as tiny as possible. “i mean why the hell does anyone care anyways? it’s not like i’m intervening in there lives, i’m not killing anyone? it works the exact same except it’s a girl and not a boy. i just don’t understand why everyone thinks they should have an opinion on something that isn’t there business to start with.” you vented as he rubbed your back, while reading. “i mean, i understand.” you looked at him with a raised brow, “sirius?” he sheepishly looked up from his book and nodded before looking down at his book again and blushing.

“please, i could spot that from a mile away. i mean you aren’t exactly subtle, at the mere touch you both look like you got out of a sauna.” you said, matter of fact like and pointing your finger in the air sassily, “at least lily and james don’t care.” he mumbled trying to make you and him feel better. “everyone shouldn’t care, but then again everyone else in this universe is also a pest.” you sighed, as he continued reading but not before speaking.

“people are stupid.”

“you’re right, people are stupid.”

“but you know what makes us feel better?”

“what?”

“chocolate.”

“wow remus, it’s almost like i had no idea.”

“well i’m always right, so suck it up and take it.” he said shoving a chocolate bar in your face.

“i mean you could always have a sleepover with me where we eat chocolate and laugh at bad movies?” he said before looking down at you.

“remus, first yes, second how the hell does sirius put up with your ‘know-it-all-ness’?” you looked at him smirking, clearly he didn’t like that and he closed his book smacking it against your head.

“𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝘂𝘀!”

sorting TOG characters into hogwarts houses

did one for acotar, gotta do one for tog. this is my first tog post which is exciting! please note that i have only read this series once, have only read each book once, so i can't say im going to accurately sort them.

this one was challenging for me, i love TOG but im much more invested in acotar and its characters, so sorting these characters into houses by personality wasn't the easiest but it was fun nonetheless.

also i haven't read the assassin's blade so im not including sam cortland since idk him.

anyways lets go.

Slytherin: Ambitious, Cunning, Leadership, and Resourcefulness

Aelin: fire bitch breathing queen obviously is being sorted into slytherin. she is the epitome of the ambitious, cunning snake. there's not much to say, anyone who has read the books and seen aelin, knows she belongs here. Gryffindor i feel would be her second, could totally see her having daring adventures with the lions, but slytherin is for her. she may be one of my least favorite characters but as a fellow Slytherin i am honored to have her.

Manon: witch queen, i mean she wanted to be that queen of the witches which shows ambition, she was the leader of the thirteen which shows leadership, and she was very cunning and resourceful, she and aelin are very alike like that.

Sartaq: gives me slytherin vibes, idk i may be wrong abt this one. cant explain it

Gryffindor: Brave, Courage, Daring, Chivalrous

Fenrys: when he broke the blood oath to maeve so he can fight for aelin showed a true Gryffindor soul no doubt. in that one scene, he showed bravery and courage to the max. stan fenrys forever.

Lorcan: idk, he gives me gryffindor vibes, i don't rlly stan lorcan or really found him interesting so im just going with my first impression on him.

Nesryn: putting bad bitch nesryn in the house of brave bc well do i really need to say? She's a baddie period.

Lysandra: my girl lys, my queen, the baddest bitch of them all, ofc shes in the house of lions, as much as i would love to sort her into my house, i cant, shes a gryffindor. the amount of bravery and courage and nerve to take on the mantle of pretending to be aelin while aelin was captured is just...amazing. it certainly was not an easy thing to do especially when the love of your life hates your guts. all hail queen lysandra.

Aedion: give me jock vibes so im putting him here

Hufflepuff: Loyal, Kind, Patient, Hardworking

Elide: i debated putting her in slytherin considering she shows traits of cunning and resourcefulness, but idk when i think of elide i think of hufflepuff. shes loyal af to a queen, has been since she was a goddamn child, shes patient I would say having to endure that horrible life of hers, and i would say hardworking too, nothing was given to her, she earned it.

Yrene: queen yrene is of course a hufflepuff as she should be, ngl i wanted to put her in gryffindor because this queen is brave af, but i think yrene would be happy in hufflepuff using her healing magic to help others, because shes just so mf kind.

Gavriel: idk this is a character i don't really care abt but i mean hes loyal? to the cadre and his son. and hes kind. and patient, always giving aedion space. yup

Chaol: debated sorting him in Gryffindor but he's too uptight to be a lion. not that hufflepuffs are uptight, just that chaol himself wouldn't be a good fit in Gryffindor. and hes loyal and hardworking

Ravenclaw: Wisdom, Wit, Individuality, Intelligence

Dorian: i sorted king dorian here because imo he is very wise, i remember him giving advice to chaol when chaol was pissy at aelin, like the iconic line "you cant pick and choose which parts of her too love" yup hes wise af. hes also witty, which we see quite often in the books which just makes us love him even more, *heart eyes* and hes super-intelligent, a king has to be, plus he would definitely start a book club with the other Ravenclaws and would most definitely invite aelin.

Rowan: look, i know this might be a controversial opinion, idk maybe, but i rlly think rowan fits here. i mean the other houses really dont suit rowan imo. hes intelligent af, wise, and is himself always.

I’ve always found it so strange how JKR sets up all of these interesting and important themes throughout the books, but can never fully deliver or expand upon them. One theme that was introduced was searching for inter-house unity and showing that one’s house doesn’t determine their moral code (Pettigrew was a Gryffindor, Lockhart was a Ravenclaw, etc.). But despite this, there’s still a massive anti-Slytherin tone. We get Snape (who is far too gray to be considered strictly “good”) and Slughorn (who also has heavy flaws) and Andromeda (who has like 2 sentences devoted to her). And we’re told that Slytherins were allowed to help fight in the final battle but it’s never known if any actually did?? If JKR wanted to commit to the “house doesn’t matter” message, why not show more good Slytherins?? Or there’s the theme of “the world isn’t split into good people and death eaters” but…it kind of is?? At least that’s what the story shows. Draco is groomed into becoming a death eater and we get absolutely no proper redemption from him despite seeing how much he struggled internally. The final battle is quite literally between a hoard of death eaters and the students/adults of Hogwarts. If we’re meant to believe there’s more to a person than being a death eater—show it! Show growth!!! And the house elves!! There’s a constant theme of bigotry regarding muggleborns, house elves, werewolves, etc. but JKR really only touches on the muggleborn stuff and even after Voldemort is defeated, it’s not like that bigotry suddenly disappeared?! Ron was rather bigoted against house elves so it’s not strictly a blood purist issue. It just bums me out that JKR had so many strong themes in the books but she never really actively worked to show these themes in the storyline. There’s a lot of speaking with very little action to back it up.

Yeah she missed the mark on a lot of her themes.

She definitely had the opportunity to show that not all Slytherins are bad. You cannot only have Snape as that example, he wasn't a good people to show this. And even when people pointed out that maybe the Slytherins aren't that bad, she doubled down and said she based them on her own bullies and made people feel bad for liking Draco. Saying that we just like the actor. We are not shallow!

And they made Voldemort into this hog baddie, talking about how evil he is and what he wants to do. And he is evil, but I personally thought that it was very much about him and power. They didn't stress enough, they didn't show much about what he wants to do and how bad the world would be if he wins.

You didnt notice these things back then when you were younger, but now you definitely realize that the story had so much more potential.

BASICS.

NAME. Dorcas Meadowes AGE. 24 ALUMNI HOUSE. Ravenclaw BLOOD STATUS. Muggleborn FACECLAIM. Sierra Mcclain

HISTORY.

Dorcas was always the girl poking her nose into places it didn’t belong. Even when she was a little girl - before Hogwarts, before magic - she was always wandering off in pursuit of some strange bug or overgrown path or unexplained noise. She drove her parents to distraction (the oddness that always dogged her heels probably didn’t help, although being able to rely on a miraculous escape whenever she poked her nose too far somewhere nasty certainly did). When an old lady in weird clothes showed up to explain that Dorcas was a witch, it was a relief for all parties. Mum and da liked her, of course they did; they loved her, too. But they were relieved to let her go to Hogwarts where she could be with other folk like her for once. Dorcas was just excited to have somewhere new to explore, and so so so many new things to learn!

That she wasn’t like other folk “like her” - or at least, that not all of them thought so - wasn’t the first thing she learned about Hogwarts, but she figured it out fast and decided not to care even faster. Dorcas had been the only black girl in a lot of her classes in the village back home; being one of only two muggleborns in her year was no harder. In many ways it was easier, because nobody could tell a person’s blood-status just by looking. Lily didn’t understand that, of course, and she didn’t even understand what it was like to really be a muggleborn, because her mate Severus had given her a leg-up, but it was still nice to have one other friend who came from a family where wands and frogspawn and Quidditch matches were so many made-up words. Not that Dorcas hesitated to learn all the new words the magical world presented her with - or anything and everything else she could get her hands on. Magic was wonderful. The fact that it had dangers of its own wasn’t worth getting upset over.

It was worth fighting a war over, though. Dorcas knew you couldn’t change a whole world that easily, but the wizarding world was small. It was a lot easier to contemplate the audacious idea of changing a whole society when you could fit half of that society onto one Quidditch pitch. And, at the very least, she could stop somebody else from making it worse. Dorcas liked living in a world where her wits and her wand were enough to keep her safe - where nobody would scold her for being too smart for her “own good” or act as though women couldn’t handle a spell. Maybe Gryffindors were the brave ones, but there was no law on the book that said Ravenclaws couldn’t tweak a lion’s tail or bait a badger...or torment some snakes. Dorcas was nosy, yes. That didn’t mean she was skittish.

Which is maybe why she joined the Order. Yes, of course, it was for the cause, too. Being muggleborn and all. But maybe it also had to do with proving that she was worth more than people often believed. Muggleborns were powerful - just look at her and Lily! - and Ravenclaws were fierce. While Hogwarts tried to fit eleven year olds into boxes based on one trait, Dorcas would not be put in one herself. She was brave and ambitious and kind and intelligent. She wasn’t afraid of a man who hid behind another name - what kind of joke is Voldemort anyway, it’s almost laughable he chose Lord for himself - and she would not back down. She would see this to the end, no matter how many muggleborns died or purebloods were taken or spies infiltrated. She would see this through to the end - either because they won or because she found an early grave.

CONNECTIONS.

GIDEON PREWETT. Dorcas hadn’t exactly planned on being friends with any of her colleagues, what with most of them had their eyes closed to any of the corruption or simply ignoring it’s very existence. But Gideon was different and seemed to see who the real baddies were. He’s been different since his return and it worries Dorcas, but she’s sure that he’ll will be back to his usual self soon. Or at least she hopes he will be. JAMES POTTER. Dorcas knows that James doesn’t understand why Lily did what she did. But that’s because James doesn’t understand. Not just about the break up, but about why it was necessary. Dorcas isn’t really choosing sides, but as a fellow muggleborn, she completely gets Lily’s part in it. James is a pureblood - and while he might not be the Death Eater kind, he still has privilege. Unchecked privilege sometimes. EMMA VANITY. For an organization fighting against a pureblooded take over, there are sure a lot of ‘em here! It’s hard to believe that all these people suddenly wanted to stop someone hellbent on keeping them in power, but Dorcas can’t complain if it helps the cause. But Emma... is she really helping? It’s hard not to see the cracks in her. They were in school together, after all. The girl cried over split potion - how is she going to handle war?

DORCAS IS TAKEN.

Hogwarts Houses

So I’m going to start this by saying that the Houses and their character traits will be listed below Henry and his characters, so that you can see whether or not you agree with me. I pulled my house information from The Odyssey Online and Wiki Fandom. For everyone that gets assigned to Gryffindor, I will also sort them into what house they would be in if they hadn’t chosen Gryffindor.

HERE WE GOOOOOO!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Henry - Hufflepuff

Henry is a Hufflepuff. This was established here, and I stand by what I said in that post. He is kind, and loyal, and good, and he’s VERY good at puzzles (aka finding things).

Stephen Colley - Hufflepuff

Stephen is also a Hufflepuff. He values hard work, fair play, and he is loyal to a fault, even if it means sacrificing his happiness.

Mikey - Slytherin

Oof, Mikey is hardcore Slytherin. A lot of people might see him as lazy and while I think he can be, I think inherently he’s ambitious and determined. He goes after what he wants (the girl), he’s cocky and arrogant, and he takes charge of the situation most of the time.

Melot - Gryffindor/Slytherin

Melot is all about bravery. He would ask to be in Gryffindor at once because that is the house that is represented by bravery. He is also daring; in the beginning he volunteers to be one of the runners when they rescue the women. He is loyal to Mark up until he feels betrayed, at which point he does what he feels is necessary for his people. This is why I would place him in Slytherin if I wasn’t so sure he’d ask to be in Gryffindor.

Evan Marshall - Ravenclaw

My gut leans towards Ravenclaw for Evan. He is an EMT so he’s smart, and he’s creative as well as clever. He gets them out of a very tough situation with minimal casualties, and he’s the one who comes up with the idea of how to beat the baddie.

Charles Brandon - Gryffindor

Another Gryffindor. I have a feeling that when sorted Charles would have asked to be in Gryffindor only to save face in front of others like the King, but the Sorting Hat has done this before, like with Ron Weasley. Ron would have been a wonderful Hufflepuff, but his older brothers would have teased him forever if he’d been sorted there so he asked to be in Gryffindor, and the sorting hat accepted. Same rule applies for Charles. Charles would have made an excellent Ravenclaw if he hadn’t asked to be in Gryffindor.

Theseus - Hufflepuff

Theseus is a hufflepuff because he is kind-hearted. Even though he’s a hothead which would put him into Slytherin or Gryffindor, he wouldn’t ask to be in Gryffindor, and he’s too thoughtful of others feelings to be in Slytherin. He also works very hard and is dedicated to his cause when he is thrown into a position of leadership.

Will Shaw - Ravenclaw

Will is a Ravenclaw because of his intelligence, and his wit. He didn’t know much about what his dad was up to, but in a refreshing change of pace he knew what NOT to do so that he wouldn’t get caught. That is, until he got caught.

But up until that point, he had smarts!

Clark Kent - Hufflepuff

Clark is a Hufflepuff for every reason one would be a Hufflepuff. He is smart and courageous yes, but he is also kind, loyal, hard working, determined, and patient. The ONLY reason that Clark would not be in Gryffindor is because he wouldn’t ask.

Napoleon Solo - Slytherin

*said in a cheesy french accent* Ah, Napoleon.

Napoleon is a Slytherin, through and through. He is cunning, crafty, resourceful, proud, and intelligent. He craves being in charge, and He does NOT like having to share the spotlight with Illya. Illya being a Gryffindor by the way, in case you’re wondering. Ironic, no?.

Captain Syverson - Gryffindor

Oh, this man would ask to be in Gryffindor before the Sorting Hat was even fully placed on his head. He is the epitome of a Gryffindor: brave-hearted, chivalrous, courageous, and loyal. He’d take a bullet for any one of his men, and often puts himself into unknown situations first.

August Walker - Slytherin

Without a doubt, August Walker is the embodiment of the Slytherin motto “Do what is necessary”. He will do whatever it takes to accomplish his mission, even if it means clearing a room of fifty people just to kill one. And his manifesto screams of arrogance and pride. He is loyal yes, but only to himself, and he’ll get rid of anyone who stands in his way.

Walter Marshall - Hufflepuff

This one was hard. I saw him as either a Ravenclaw or a Hufflepuff, but Huffelpuff won out because of his courage. I don’t think he’d ask to be in Gryffindor which is why I didn’t place him there for his courage, but Hufflepuffs have also been noted for their bravery as well, aka Cedric Diggory. Walter is also very kind and compassionate towards others; he wouldn’t be able to do his job well without it.

Geralt of Rivia - Ravenclaw

Lastly, we have Geralt, who I see as a Ravenclaw. This is mostly because of his wit and his sense of humor, though he is rather intelligent as well. He has the book smarts about the things that were taught to him by the Witchers, but he does lack smarts in other areas. However, he is a quick study, and will pick up must topics quickly. He also has an innate sense of wanting to fit in, which I feel as “nerds” or “outsiders”, most Ravenclaws feel this way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was SO fun, and long overdue! Feel free to argue your own stance, this sorting is entirely my opinion! All House Character Traits will be listed below if you’d like to keep reading.

Gryffindor: The house of the brave, loyal, courageous, adventurous, daring, and chivalrous. Corresponds to the element of Fire. Those who stand up for others are typically Gryffindors. Brave-hearted is the most well-known Gryffindor characteristic, and Gryffindors are also known for having a lot of nerve.

Gryffindors are people who hold a multitude of qualities alongside the ones listed, making them a very well-rounded house. People who are Gryffindors are often people who could fit nicely into another house but choose to tell the sorting hat they want Gryffindor (there's that bravery). "Do what is right" is the motto Gryffindors go by.

Hufflepuff: This house values hard work, dedication, fair play, patience, and loyalty. Corresponds to the element of earth. Hufflepuff's are known for being just and true. "Do what is nice" is their motto.

Hufflepuff is known as the “nice house" and believes strongly in sparing people's feelings and being kind. This is not to say that Hufflepuffs aren't smart or courageous. Hufflepuffs just enjoy making others happy and tend to be more patient toward people.

Ravenclaw: The house is known for their wisdom, intelligence, creativity, cleverness, wit, and knowledge. Corresponds to the element of air. Those who value brains over brawn can be found here. Ravenclaws often tend to be quite quirky as well. "Do what is wise" is the motto they strive to follow.

Though Ravenclaws can be know-it-alls sometimes, they most likely do know what the wisest decision is.

Slytherin: This is the house of the cunning, prideful, resourceful, ambitious, intelligent, and determined. Corresponds roughly to the element of water. Slytherin's love to be in charge and crave leadership. "Do what is necessary" is the motto of this house.Slytherins do, however, have a tendency to be arrogant or prideful. This is most likely due to the fact that everyone in Slytherin is exceedingly proud to be there.
