This fic was shamelessly stolen from Eveninganna's story 'Half Blood Houses'. Reading it got me thinking about our beloved Olympian characters and where they'd fit at Hogwarts, though I've tried to take a slightly different perspective, from the Sorting Hat's point of view. Spin off stories are already in the works.

It's gets boring you know, being the Sorting Hat. Do you think I like being shut in Dumberldore's office all day? Sometimes a guy needs to take a break and it's amazing what a Hat can do when they put their mind to it. I've travelled everywhere. Back to Edwardian England for example, to visit an odd Crawley family. Or hitched a ride with a Doctor and his strange blue box.
And then there was the time I discovered an Alternate Universe full of Half-Bloods. That was interesting. I don't need to be on someone's head to sort them, observation works fine. And the fun I had sorting the Percy Jackson lot.
Before we dive in, let me offer a quick recap of the four Hogwarts Houses:
"You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,
And unafraid of toil"
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind."
"You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart"
"Or perhaps in Slytherin,
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means,
To achieve their ends.
Got it? Let's begin!

Just to note before starting, any characters I sort into the Slytherin are not automatically evil! As said above, Slytherin's are usually ambitious and cunning. Although these traits can be used for evil, that's not a certain thing. Plus sorting into only 3 houses would get boring after a while, so read with an open mind. Any reviews, criticisms and different opinions are welcome. I love to hear what you guys think!
