First discussion post! I already did something similar to this in the_ass_ship, but since this community covers all the kids, time for another poll ( Read more... )

snowfire and I have discussed Teddy and Victoire's Houses somewhat extensively.

When she proposed the question to me, the following was my response. She added her own opinions (which I'm sure she'll offer up if you'd like), but this will work as a basic explanation.

I don't know. I guess -- even though Houses aren't really a genetic thing, there's the influence of the environment to be said for it (or, whatever, because Harry's parents were both Gryffindors and his dad's best friends were all Gryffindors and despite Lily being best friends with a Slytherin forever, Harry was a Gryffindor, so we'll just say parents/adults can be taken into account). Remus was a Gryffindor; Tonks was a Hufflepuff ( this will continue to kill me because I will always reverse her and Luna somehow). I don't know about Andromeda, but Teddy's probably got all of the Weasley families plus the Potters for influence and that's TONS of Gryffindors. I don't know -- I'm TORN because I want him to be in Gryffindor like his daddy, but I'm more inclined toward Hufflepuff And Victoire -- Bill is a Gryffindor; Fleur is...French. So Victoire would definitely NOT be a Hufflepuff (too down-to-earth, I think; not bold or distinguished enough), but I don't think she'd be a Slytherin either (not with a Wasley for her father ), which leaves Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. As a Weasley, I'm inclined to say she'd end up in Gryffindor. (I could see Ravenclaw, but I'm pretty much torn on her.) What about you?

Bear in mind, we have so little to go on; parenting is just about it.

I went for Ravenclaw for Victoire because, as I said to raynala, I have this picture in my head of her being gorgeous and aloof, like her mother, but caring to her friends and family and loving adventure, like her father. I personally see her as a pretty girl who can't help that boys are automatically attracted to her veela blood and who constantly has to prove that she's more than just a pretty face. And I see Teddy as being one of the few who likes her for her mind, not just her body. But that's entirely in my opinion, since you can't get all that out of the epilogue.

I think what sealed Gryffindor for Victoire for me was that Fleur helped rescue Harry. Don't get me wrong, she could do that as someone who might have been in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, but she helped rescue him out of loyalty. He saved her sister; in her eyes, that demands riskin her life for his. Gryffindor bravado all the way.

Well, if it were out of loyalty, then we'd have a Hufflepuff argument on our hands!

*ducks*
I agree with you, though!

Hufflepuffs are loyal to their friends/families/team/etc; Gryffindors give loyalty based on merit. Which is what Fleur does. :)

An awesome retort, and I couldn't agree more. Great reasoning.
