Honestly, this is really short. It was hard to find a house from you because of the length. I also have to admit that I really don't like what you list as your Slytherin qualities. Sarcasm and bitchiness are not canon Slytherin traits and it's borderline house-bashing to say that you are. Actually, none of your answers in number 21 are canon house qualities.

Despite your answer to number 22, the only house I can find for you is Hufflepuff. Your trustworthy nature and your answer to number 6 scream Badger. It's really the only one of the four houses' traits I can see clearly in this application at all.

I know you don't want it, but Hufflepuff it is for you.

I kind of have to agree with the commenter above me. Your application is definitely on the short-side, but I find I am still able to sort you based on the answers you've given.

Unfortunately, the only house I can see you in based on your responses is Hufflepuff.

You value loyalty and friendship, and you definitely emphasize that people can place their trust in you.

Like Lena, I know you don't want it, and I hate to place you into the house that you said you felt you had the least affinity with, but I think you might have more in common with the 'puffs than you think. So Hufflepuff.

As much as I hate to beat a dead horse, this is incredibly short. While it's true we don't need you to write us a novel, you give nothing about why you answered the way you did, which makes it rather difficult to find a House for you. And I know Rowling doesn't really paint her Slytherins in the most positive light, but I would also caution against calling "bitchiness" and "sarcasm" Slytherin traits (on the contrary, I think you'll find most Slytherins to be quite courteous and polite, because we care about the impression we give). That said, I certainly won't hold it against you and I think I do see enough here that I can find a place for you ( ... )

I was all set to Squib you for lack of length until I realized that this is the new application and short answers are almost ENCOURAGED.

That said: bitchiness is NOT a Slytherin trait and you don't seem to know that much about the Hogwarts houses (humor as Hufflepuff trait? Really? friendship as a Gryffindor trait - like Peter Pettigrew? I guess you found a Ravenclaw trait correctly, but even a stopped watch is right twice a day.)

Yes, your 06 answer gives me a faint bit of badger vibe with your valuing trust - along with your positive traits and your boggart, but then again I'm not sure that's really you.

Ultimately, what pushed me to vote Squib instead of agreeing with the Hufflepuff votes was how little your answers seemed based on canon: for example, you dislike Ginny and your only reason given is that you ship Harmony?

And finally: when asked to pick four subjects, the fact that you listed five suggests that you didn't really put that much thought into the application ( ... )

Although this app is short and number 21 isn't canon at all, the only house that I got a vibe from is Hufflepuff.
