Houses, eh? Maybe we won't get a choice at all, maybe we will. Either way is fine with me. Whether we pick it or if it's chosen by a throw of the die I'm fine, each has its own strong and weak points.
In Gryffindor we'll walk well trodden paths, this is the one we'll have the best idea of who our friends could be and who will abandon us in favor of the crowd. Our allies in this house will not necessarily be the smartest, but they will likely be the most bold. Bravery isn't a lack of fear, but the ability to act, despite being afraid.
In Ravenclaw we'll have access to the most varied number of logical and research oriented minds, with them it wouldn't be strange at all for us to be seen studying anything and everything. Our allies here will have the best grasp of the theory behind how things work, if not the ability to make things work, knowledge for the sake of knowledge is the name of their game.
In Hufflepuff we'll make allies, maybe not all powerful and overwhelmingly influential, but true allies that will stick with us through thick and thin, regardless of how hard the objective or bleak the outlook. Here we will gather a following who will look out for our best interest. Though what we need, is rarely what we want.
And in Slytherin we will know conflict, intrigue, people seeking power for powers sake, here lies the most number of people wanting to use us, or be used by us. Slytherin is the house of ambition and cunning. Whether through the exploitation of others, or maneuvering oneself into a position of confidence with those that will be strong.
At least, that's kind of how I see it. Personally I'm a Hufflepuff, but that's just me. Like I said at the top I don't really care where we go, maybe we'll even get expelled at some point. And wouldn't that be interesting?
