Yesterday, I was watching Harry Potter and the Socerer's Stone and as a watch little Harry, Hermione, Ron and Malfoy line up for the sorting hat I could help but wonder...
What house would Eugenides be sorted into?
Now, that really stumped me so I thought: Where do YOU think the sorting hat would place Gen?
How about Eddis, Irene Attolia, Costis, Aris, Lady Heiro, Stenides Relius, Teleus, MoW, the Erondite brothers, Narhuserfish?
Also who do you think would make their house Quidditch team?
A bit on the houses:
Gryffindor:
values courage, bravery, loyalty, nerve and chivalry.
Mascot: Lion
Colors: Scarlet & Gold
Hufflepuff:
values hardwork, tolerance, loyalty and fairplay
Mascot: Badger
Colors: Canary Yellow, Black
Ravenclaw:
values intelligence, creativity, learning and wit
Mascot: Eagle
Colors: Blue and Bronze
Slytherin:
values ambition, cunning, leadership, resourcefulness
Mascot: Serpent
Colors: Green and Silver

Attolia. Slytherin . . .but . . . Ravenclaw?
Uh . . . I GIVE UP.

Date: 2/8/10 02:03 am (UTC)I think Eddis is a Gryffindor, I don't know why, but out of everything she seems brave, launching her country into war to avenge Gen's hand? Very Gryffindor.

Date: 2/8/10 01:58 am (UTC)Eddis--I waver. Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff.
Relius would also be a Slytherin.
Teleus and Costis would be Gryffindors, and probably Gen's dad too.
Nahuserfish would be a Slytherin, as would be Sejanus and Erondites the Elder. Dite I'm not sure about; probably Ravenclaw.
Aris--probz Gryffindor. Or Hufflepuff.
Heiro would be a kickbutt Ravenclaw prefect. Along with Stenides. *suddenly ships*
mmm...did I leave anyone out?

Heiro and Sten...*ponders*
LOL, maybe I'm just in denial of not wanting to put Gen in Slytherin... but then again if MoW was in Gryffindor and Gen in Slytherin, that would explain a lot :|
I definitely think Eddis is a Gryffindor, more than anything, possibly a Ravenclaw...

Date: 2/8/10 02:09 am (UTC)Eddis - Gryffindor.
Irene - Slytherin. She and Gen can have matching seats in the common room!
Costis - Gryffindor, I think.
Aris - Gryffindor, too.
Heiro - Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff (finally I have company).
Stenides - As of right now, Hufflepuff, but I'd have to know more about him.
Relius - joins Irene and Gen in Slytherin.
Teleus - Gryffindor.
Sejanus - Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Slytherpuff.
Dite - Ravenclaw.
Nahuserfish - Slytherin.
Fun question!

*SAVES GEN!*
*IS HONORABLE!*
Plus he has that whole straightforward approach to problems that I associate v. much w/Gryffindor. EG, "THEY THINK I LIED?" and, knocking over nobles and shooting doors and all that jazz.
...He is really improving my feelings regarding Gryffindor.

Date: 2/8/10 03:22 am (UTC)And good point about The Amazing Changing Gen. It's like in QoA he turns and focuses all his talent into focused plotting that's more subtle and Slytherinny. He's a good leader, even if he doesn't like it.
no subject
Date: 2/8/10 02:37 am (UTC)Thank you.
no subject
Date: 2/8/10 02:39 am (UTC)Gen: Looking at the attributes, I'd say that he could go anywhere (Yes, that's a slithering-out answer). Then, I guess, the hat would take into account where he'd WANT to go, like it did with Harry. But I don't know what he'd want. What an enigma is our Eugenides!
Eddis: Ehhhhh....??? Maybe Gryffindor? Bur maybe ravenclaw...
Attolia: Slytherin, I think. But she IS always wearing red and gold...
Costis: Definitely Hufflepuff. Definitely. He's VERY tolerant of the king, he's a workaholic, and he's extremely loyal, fair, and honorable, of course.
Aris: Same as Costis? Or maybe Gryffindor?
Heiro: I have no idea. Not Slytherin.
Stenides: Oh, I dunno about him either. Gryffindor?
Relius: Ravenclaw ... but he's cunning (slytherin) and loyal (hufflepuff)
Teleus: I'm tempted to put all the guards in Hufflepuff, but I think Gryffindor would work well for T too.
Dite: Ravenclaw, because of the wit and creativity. But he IS also loyal. Holy Goat. Everyone is so darn LOYAL.
Sejanus: Slytherin. He is all the values!
Nahuserfish!: NOT Hufflepuff, that's for sure. Slytherin, I guess, but I feel like everyone oily and slimy gets dumped in there.
What I wouldn't give to watch them all play quidditch...
no subject
Date: 2/8/10 02:50 am (UTC)He's extremely cunning, he's got a talent for leadership and building allies THAT ARE USEFUL...
Eddis - Hmm. I see her as a Hufflepuff. Which is good, because that poor house gets so shafted.
Irene - Slytherin of course
Costis - SO GRYFFINDOR IT HURTS
Aris - Gryffindor
Lady Heiro - I kind of fantasize that she's a Slytherin who is extremely manipulative using her supposed shyness--but if she isn't, I'd go with Ravenclaw
Stenides - Gryffindor
Relius - Slytherin
Teleus - Gryffindor (most of the guards are, I would think. Aside from the corrupt ones).
The Erondite brothers - Slytherin and Hufflepuff
Narhuserfish - Slytherin. A FAILY ONE.
I demand Harry Potter-verse Attolia fics, fanfic writers. PLEASE ME.
no subject
Date: 2/8/10 03:14 am (UTC)I would soooo be in Hufflepuff. Even if the hat was going to put me somewhere else, I'd just wish so hard it would have to.

Date: 2/8/10 03:06 am (UTC)Well, ok. You make a good argument. Sure. *grumbles and changes sides*
Aaand, everyone thinks that Gen=Slytherin. OK, yeah, sure. I agree, too. THAT LITTLE SNAKE! (I am so persuadeable, but I think you're all right.)
Interesting note: Doesn't he say something like "even though you're patronoi and he's okloi?" to Costis about Aris. Even though Gen doesn't seem to be class-ist, he sometimes assumes that other people are.
Elle, you have goooood ideas for discussion topics. (and not just about freeing the socks)
What about Pol and Ambiades?
no subject
Date: 2/8/10 03:26 am (UTC)Gen is Slytherin with Ravenclaw tendencies, and Attolia is Ravenclaw forced into Slytherin tendencies. The Magus is just Ravenclaw, period.
Sophos? Either Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, but I'm thinking a mixture of both.
no subject
Date: 2/8/10 03:33 am (UTC)I totally agree. Really, well put!
Though I think Eddis IS more Gryffindor. She DOES charge into battle in QT and she's right there next to them fighting. She does takes risks (sending Gen off to Attolia even though it was taking a big risk) and she's sent her country into war, with out a second thought. "War, then"
I don't know she comes off very Gryffindor to me. :)
no subject
Date: 2/8/10 03:34 am (UTC)As for the others, I agree with pretty much everyone's opinions. One of the things I dislike (don't kill me!) about the HP books is that the author goes to great lengths to divide people into groups, as demonstrated by the four houses or by the whole good guys/bad guys thing that goes on the whole time. Everything seemed so archetypal. Which is fine, and MWT's got a few archetypes too, but she mixes and matches her characters so much more.
I think that's why we're having so much trouble pinning Gen down to just a single house. He's all of them. All of the characters are, to an extent, because real people don't fit into categories like this.
But yeah. If I had to pick, he'd be in Slytherin. Hands down.

Date: 2/8/10 04:08 am (UTC)But Gen. I mean, he fits each category in different ways, but as much of a lion-flag-waving, Gryffindor lover as I am....
....Gen would make a really, really, REALLY AWESOME SLYTHERIN. *is shocked at self*
no subject
Date: 2/8/10 04:13 am (UTC)So. Yeah.
But Gen is the last person in the world to be prejudiced because of something stupid like bloodlines, so they would absolutely HATE him, he would steal their shit, it would be war, and it would be amazing.
Also, he would steal the Elder Wand, destroy all the Horcruxes, and whip Harry into shape. (I <3 you, Harry. XD)
Slughorn would try to recruit him, and Gen would allow himself to be recruited, snickering all the while - and - and -
Oh God, I'm writing a FIC. D8
