Well, you're just about the poster boy for Hufflepuff.

[dr_john_watson]

I thank you for your prompt assertion.

[anthony_crowley]

*raises eyebrow* Well, you've come to the right place for prompt assertions.

Do you disagree that loyalty is your discerning trait? You're certainly courageous but Gryffindors tend towards boisterousness. And you're intelligent, but don't gather knowledge for knowledge's sake like the Ravenclaws. And if I've read your memoirs correctly, you haven't a devious bone in your body so Slytherin is right out.

Listen to me. You've got me talking like a Victorian again. Damn, I'm glad I slept through most of that century.

[dr_john_watson]

I find it easier on the constitution to receive prompt answers; Holmes is the man with a perverse attraction to suspense.

Certainly I wouldn't disagree that loyalty, among all other characteristics you have listed, is the most important to my mind. But what is so terrible about the Victorian era, may I ask?

((... OMG, SHERLOCK HOLMES LOVE. ♥♥♥))

(Sign: "... I trust you're not from the 1920's nor have any strange urge to toss rocks with unholy glyphs at me? However, I'm voting that you be in Ravenclaw, as for when and if this Mr. Holmes get here, that you two be kept together. And you both sound like men of the mind.")

[dr_john_watson]

((THE LOVE, IT IS PURE))

I, uh, oh dear...

I do not have any rocks, and while I appreciate your concern, Holmes and I have roomed in separate lodgings many times over the years, and it hasn't much strained our friendship.

Are-are there many other... fascinating individuals like yourself here?

RAVENCLAW

[oldoneofrlyeh]

((Oh yes it is))

(Sign: "I'm simply being polite. But I still say Ravenclaw.

A growing number of the Greek Pantheon is beginning to slowly take over Slytherin. Oh, we also have 3 versions of the same dark lord in Slytherin. And we have a Homocidial Maniac around her.

We also have one of the demons of hell. He's already talked to you, and surprisingly not run you over with his Bentley.")

Do you think it would be wiser to carry my revolver with me at all times, or to forego it entirely as a lost cause?

[teatimeassassin]

Slight? Do you really think so?

Personally, I don't see that much wrong with the question. Since, however, I would appreciate your help in ensuring that this House has a very good reputation...I think you belong in Hufflepuff, sir.

[dr_john_watson]

There does seem to be a bit of a bias, though I may be wrong. I will, of course, endeavor to uphold the reputation of Hufflepuff.

[teatimeassassin]

Thank you, sir. The help will be most appreciated.

[conriocht]

Hmm, although doctors do tend to end up in Ravenclaw, I believe you would be a better fit in Hufflepuff.

[dr_john_watson]

Well, as I do tend to ignore my practice at times, it might be more apt to call me a biographer. Does Hufflepuff have many members interested in writing, do you know?

[waste_lock]

Hm.

Hufflepuff, then, I guess. I don't really care, and they could use a doctor.

[dr_john_watson]

I would be gratified to be of service.
