Fandom meme and links
It's been ages since I've done a fandom meme, and this is such a perfect one for me.
Give me a non-Harry Potter character and I will answer ( Read more... )
Give me a non-Harry Potter character and I will answer ( Read more... )
a) Which Hogwarts house I think they’d belong in
Peter definitely has Ravenclaw-y inclinations, being experimental-minded as he is, but I'm actually not sure I see him in Ravenclaw, as I think he's less for book-learning than Ravenclaws tend to be (and it's not like there aren't plenty of very clever people in other houses -- Dumbledore, Snape, Hermione, Fred & George). I actually think Gryffindor may be a better fit for Peter, who tends to do thigs off the cuff because they seem like a good idea rather than thinking them through / doing the logical thing.
Nightingale now might've actually been a Ravenclaw at the age of Sorting -- the little he's shared of his past would not contradict that. I think he is too much of a pragmatist for Gryffindor and not nearly ambitious enough for Slytherin, but it actually wouldn't surprise me if he'd been a Hufflepuff -- something about him both surviving the war without going mad and the way he mourned his dead feels Hufflepuff-y to me. (And, actually, while Aurors in the HP-verse come across as a bunch of Gryffindors, an actual police force strikes me as more Hufflepuff in general.)
b) Which position they’d play in Quidditch
Peter: Definitely not Keeper, as he gets distracted too much. Seeker might actually be a good role for him, since it involves looking around and then being briefly but thoroughly reckless in diving for the Snitch.
Nightingale: Now he would make a good Keeper, I think. Fine Chaser, too, but I think Nightingale is the sort of guy you want as your last line of defense.
c) What their favorite class would be
Peter: Defense Against the Dark Arts, for sure (though he keeps trying to reform the "dark arts" terminology, because while it's not as bad as saying "black magician", it's still got Unfortunate Implications).
Nightingale: Charms, maybe? From what we've seen, that seems to be the class requiring the most fine control, and the discipline that can do pretty powerful stuff with spare gestures/words.
d) Which memory a dementor would force them to relive
Nightingale: Stuff from the war.
Peter: Lesley's face falling off or *spoiler for book 4 redacted*.
e) What they would see in the Mirror of Erised
Nightingale: Probably all of his classmates sitting around the great hall, having survived the war.
Peter: This is a harder question to answer than I was expecting for a first-person POV! But I think probably something like foiling the Faceless Man with a combination of innovative magic and random architectural trivia, with the help of Nightingale and a fully recovered Lesley.
f) What form their boggart would take
Nightingale: I'm going to guess it would be something like cycling through all the men in his command during the war, dead in various gruesome ways (this meme is really highlighting for me that I tend to attach to characters whose boggarts (I think) would be them being unable to save the people they feel responsible for...)
Peter: *spoiler for book 4 redacted* Until then, hmm... you know, I'm not really sure, as Peter doesn't seem afraid of much overtly, but let's say a situation where his personal loyalties and his professional duty are in direct conflict, and the stakes are very high.
g) Which Harry Potter character would most likely be their best friend
I kind of think Peter would get along well with Fred and George, but I also think he could be good friends with Hermione -- she would boss him around a bit and help keep him focused, and he would actually take her SPEW concerns seriously, plus I think she'd have the highest probability of getting his pop culture references, as a fellow Muggleborn.
Nightingale is, again, hard for me to imagine in his school years, but for some reason I think he and Lupin may have gotten along... Possibly because they're both survivors? I mean, have the sort of personality that keeps going even when everything they had has been destroyed...
h) What career they would take after Hogwarts
Given their canonical professions in magical law enforcement, Aurors seem quite inevitable for both.
