JA & Houses
Occasionally I don't write a P&P/HP crossover - not the kind where the storyline of one is imposed upon the characters of another, however. Rather, the story/situations of P&P are transplanted into the fabric of the (historical) HP-'verse.
As I said, I don't write this. At present. I just think about it. And try to stitch the fabric of the ( Read more... )

If this was only the houses--completely theoretical and all--how come you already know Charlotte's a Mugleborn?
It's OK, I wont tell. ;)

Slytherin is a possibility, because he does have that drive to accomplish his aims by whatever means possible (the central Slytherin principle) - his enjoyment of those means is, IMO, not particularly relevant. Not a Ravenclaw, certainly.
Boldness, daring, nerve are the defining Gryffindor virtues, and he has those too.
He certainly doesn't possess or value the Hufflepuff work ethic. So, Gryffindor or Slytherin - going by his values, rather than his personality, I'd lean towards Gryffindor.

LadyC is such an amusing character in the books, people might dislike the two but personally I think that without mrs.B and LadyC the book would lose a lot of it's spark...
Lady Catherine: Gryffindor
-- I suspect most of fandom would disagree with me there, but I don't think it's possible to have more sheer nerve than Ly C.
Mrs Bennet: Slytherin
-- Gryffindor is a strong possibility, but she seems rather stronger on the ambition than the daring.

I agree, Mrs B and Ly C are nothing if not entertaining.

I loved the It's about values. Not about what those kids necessarily are, but what they think is most important. That's more or less what I've always thought, only I never did put it into words! So I'm very happy you explained the theory to me.
I do agree in practically everyone, too! Except for Anne Elliot (she screams Ravenclaw to me) and Collins. Collins is the Goyle of P&P, I'd say. Sure, he's loyal to lady C, but he's not really loyal to his uncle/cousings, or even to his father. And his cult to social standing... I'd say Slytherin.
And I'm now going to review the PA.

When Anne says she prizes Gryffindors, I read "I admire Wentoworth (*swoon*) a great deal." She doesn't talk about learning, but she IS very accomplished (according to Elliot) and she values common sense a lot. And oh, yes, she didn't marry Musgrove precisely because of that. He wasn't intellectual enough. And Musgrove is a Hufflepuff, I'd say.
Okay, now I'm confused about Collins. Though with him I get the feeling he WANTS to be cunning and sly, but fails miserably. :/

The idea of Draco Malfoy having a natural daughter named after her stepfather's Muggleborn mother amuses me muchly.
I don't think I've ever read Draco/Ginny. But I would! Though world domination is also a danger there. Lots of, shall we say, aggression with them.
Ah, I see what you mean. I never really thought of it that way - I thought of it more in the context of the Harvilles and Crofts. And WWE, of course.
Charles strikes me as more of a Gryffindor, but yes, now that you mention it, I think she'd make a credible Ravenclaw, at any rate.
I think Collins wants to be admired, mostly. Like Lola! Only without the lap-dancing.
