#mugglemusings

i am fairly certain that there is an underground resistance of house elves that live in dryers and obtain socks to use in gaining freedom for their fellow comrades in captivity

I hope that students at Hogwarts could transfer houses if they wanted to. I’ve just been thinking that I probably would have been a Ravenclaw at Sorting, because back then I was academically clever and I loved reading and learning. But by the time I was 14, I’d changed a lot and found different things to be be more important to me (kindness, loyalty etc), so I would have felt much more comfortable as a Hufflepuff. The difference in mentality and outlook of an 11 year old and an 18 year old is pretty enormous. Not only is secondary school a huge dose of life experience, but it covers a period of self-discovery and maturation. And events in your life can radically change your perspective. So I wonder if Hogwarts would have allowed you to be true to yourself and decide to change from one house to another. Or even be Sorted again.
