Week 3, Task 3 - Hybrid Houses

[Prof. Kendra Givens]

It's sometimes easy to forget (at least, for me) that Professor McGonagall is actually a Gryffindor. She (like Hermione) was almost a Ravenclaw, and some would argue that she might be a pretty Gryffinclaw split. Your task, in 100 words or more, is to respond to one of the following prompts. You can also spread your 100 words out over multiple prompts if you choose to.

1. Do you agree with the way Minerva was sorted? Why or why not?
2. What would your hybrid house be if you were to be associated to another one, and why? For example, I am most definitely a 50/50 Ravenpuff, as say most sorting quizzes, my family, and my coworkers.

Post your response below by 11:59 PM HOL time on December 31st to earn 10 sapphires/beans. Remember that if you complete all of this week's tasks by 11:59 PM HOL time on Saturday, December 20th, I will send you a scrambled spell to unscramble for another 10 sapphires/beans.

Answering prompt 2.

I am also likely to be a Ravenpuff, Prof., like you, but, I do not like to call myself a Ravenpuff because I think that the Sorting Hat is very sure that I am a Ravenclaw. In all the sorting quizzes that I have ever taken, I came up to be a Ravenclaw, and this has happened so many times that the results of my sorting quizzes don't surprise me anymore. But, if I indeed had a hybrid house, it'd likely be Hufflepuff as I enjoy helping others and love exploring new food. I am also loyal to my roots because of being a Taurus Sun, which is a major Hufflepuff trait, although being a Sagittarius Moon breaks the monotony there, and my outward personality resembles that of a soft person because Cancer is my Rising. Also, Taurus is an Earth sign and represents being grounded, so that goes well with the symbols of badgers and Earth that are associated with Hufflepuff.

1. Strangely enough, I also often forget Professor McGonagall was a Gryffindor. Ultimately, I agree with her having been sorted into Gryffindor over Ravenclaw. She could've done well in Ravenclaw if she had been sorted into \the house, but she has such a strong will that it would almost be an injustice not to sort her into Gryffindor.

2. I would say my hybrid house would be Ravenclaw, with Slytherin remaining as my main house. I enjoyed speaking out about new information and was academically motivated during my schooling days. I don't think I reasonably fit with the other houses enough to claim to be a hybrid house with them.
