No villains? Or would they all be in Slytherin?
Hardly. HUGE mistake.
Victor Cachat? Ravenclaw. Nope, not Slytherin or Gryff...Ravenclaw. All his other qualities notwithstanding, Victor is one of the Honorverse's finest examples of why the true weapon is the mind.
While i agree he is pretty good at thinking, his personal attention is totally NOT in that direction, his focus is on where his loyalties lie. Think about it.
Mr stay-Puff to the core.
(cookie for those that notice the reference)
Stacey Hauptmamn? Slytherin. Slytherins aren't all about power (it's just handy)...
100%.
Gryffindor
Honor Harrington
Hamish Alexander
Elizabeth Winton
Michael Oversteegen
Lester Tourville
Aivars Terekhov
Abigail Hearns
Javier Giscard
Mark Sarnow
Wesley Matthews
Raoul Courvosier
Hamish might belong with claws.
Elizabeth is a bit of a toss-up, but i think her overriding side is her loyalty to her nation, her friends and her family.
Oversteegen, totally a sneaky snake-boy.
Tourville isn´t reckless enough for Gryff(that´s his fake persona). He´s sneaky enough to set up his whole public persona and do things behind peoples back quite, QUITE well, OTOH, loyalty to his subordinates and his nation is very high on his agenda. Probably not focused enough on his intellect to be a claw. So either slythie or puff.
Abigail´s focus feels to be on analysis first, so Ravenclaw is probably better.
Unsure about Mark and Javier.
Courvosier is claw or slythie first.
Hufflepuff
Thomas Theisman
Warner Caslet
Augustus Khumalo
Allen Higgins
Elaine Mayhew
Theisman can probably be just about anywhere except Gryff.
As are pretty much all the MAlign.
I think that´s flawed logic. The houses are not about good or evil, it´s about what a persons overriding personality is.
All houses have good or bad traits, it´s just author-fiat that needed one to be the obvious bad guys.
THANK MERLIN I AM NOT ALONE HERE!! (Started reading the books at age ten, was seventeen when Deathly Hallows hit the shelves, went to every midnight release party from GoF on - I am the Potter Generation.
)
Oh god... You´re a decade and a half younger than me...
One of my dearest fandom friends is a Slytherin, so I always get a bit tetchy when people start waving the "All Slytherins are evil!" placard around...
Once you´ve read a few dozen fanfics, that´s a notion loooong gone.
Now, I have a problem for which I need your help. And that problem is, "where the hell do we Sort Michelle Henke??"
Mmm, that one´s a bit tricky. Probably a Huff-n-puff. So intent on NOT exploiting family connections that her promotion is delayed, well that is neither smart, sneaky nor brave, but it is very loyal in a somewhat roundabout way. And a hard worker, yeah.
Saying that, I think Honor would probably be a Hufflepuff. She works damned hard, is incredibly loyal and goes out of her way to help others.
Indeed she does, but is that her most prominent traits? With so many bravely reckless deathrides behind her, Gryff is the only realistic possibility!
I wrote a crossover for it too...
And a good one it was.
Even when I was reading the Potter books, I could never get this out of my head whenever I read "Hufflepuff":
Hah...
Me, i look another direction, like far above reference hinted:
