Well, I wanted to be an Eagle when I actually thought that Gryffindors were too cliche, Huffles were the rejects, and Slytherin was a place for the good-for-nothing evil, conniving, scheming, plotting, scum of the earth type of people. Let's see what that leaves me with. Oh, Ravenclaw!
But some things stay the same, some things don't. Gryffindors are still kind of cliche, Huffles aren't really rejects, and Slytherins are still good-for-nothing evil, conniving, scheming, plotting, scum of the earth type of people...who are actually really caring and have fetishes for tasteful shoes. I guess when I grew up, I realized that I could only fit it with the latter description and so there I was, in the Slytherin common room, wondering how I ever could have thought I'd end up there
