That kind of setup demands continuation... though maybe it's better just imagining how it could play out. As your twins say, brilliant.

[corvidae9]

HEEE!! I'm definitely going have to come back to it! ;D Thank you so much, doll!

*seconds plea for sequel*

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! I'm SO glad you picked up this prompt! It was deliciously ready and waiting for a genius of your caliber.

I love this. Aside from the hilarity, I love how the house draws out its qualities in its members, even if it's not really where they were best suited - Draco becomes more Hufflepuff-ish, Hannah more Gryffindorish, Neville more Slytherin. It really shows the truth behind the system. And poor Snape! :D

More, more I say! Please tell me there's some continuation in the future of this piece...

[corvidae9]

omg *blush* :D Thank you ever so much, darling!! :D

Dude, yes - I'm convinced that the students end up living up to their houses a lot of the time. And heee! Poooor Snape, yes. Mostly that he can't outright *hate* on Longbottom since he's a Slytherin, so he has to work on making him into a good one.

There's gonna have to be. There are too many places it could go. :P

I love you. That was brilliant. I love how you covered all the major players and actually did a really good job of showing how the change of house could have led to such subtle differences that changed the person overall. I'm kind of in awe, really. First impression was that it was funny, but the more I think on it, the more brilliant I realize that it is.

[corvidae9]

HEE!! Good thing, 'cos I love you, too. :D And YaY! :D Thank you so much! I think it was just a matter of drawing out what we've seen of them already and seeing where else they might fit and how. And oh man, I'm so glad people other than me found it funny. ;))

lovely! what i like most about it is that it shows how people don't have something innate in them that makes them belong to one house or another, but rather that they feel compelled to live up to the expectations of their assigned house. or maybe that everyone has a bit of every house in them :). harry and draco are too cute as hufflepuffs, and their budding friendship makes me wonder where that's going to head in a few years ;).

[corvidae9]

maybe that everyone has a bit of every house in them

yes! :D

their budding friendship makes me wonder where that's going to head in a few years ;).

SHHH! THis is gen!fic. (*giggle*yeah, it's totally going there.)

[coffeejunkii]

hahaha, ooh, genfic, huh? oops? [but yay!]

[corvidae9]

....omg. I just had the best bunny for GoF after the second task in this universe. :D :D :D *dies*

[strina]

Okay, I totally saw that prompt and hoped someone awesome would take it and omg, AWESOME BEYOND MY WILDEST IMAGININGS.

SLYTHERIN!NEVILLE. CEDRIC RIDING HERD ON HUFFLEPUFF!DRACO. BEST EVER. EVER.

MORE. PLEASE MORE?

(Some of this enthusiasm stems from the fact that Hufflepuff!Draco is my kryptonite, but ONLY A LITTLE. Also YAY Hannah and Pansy.)

[corvidae9]

CEDRIC RIDING HERD ON HUFFLEPUFF!DRACO.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. YES.

*cough* *glomp* ohyes. There must be more.

Thank you so much, sweetie! :D ♥ ♥

[strina]

REREAD. STILL AWESOME.

I don't want to die alone in a library with a hundred cats! That's Padma's job!

Where did Padma end up?

LOVE for the new Gryffindor Trio of Hannah, Crabbe, and Goyle.

And finally, Cedric Diggory = NEW BELOVED. Watching Draco! BRILLIANCE.
