a vitally important question

[gogollescent]

Given the chance, how would you sort the Vorkosigan characters into Hogwarts houses?

Don't look at me like that. This is clearly key information that I am gathering. Is Cordelia the world's most ruthless Hufflepuff, or would she at eleven be hustled off to Ravenclaw, only later in life to develop interpersonal convictions? Does Miles con the hat into putting him into Gryffindor despite the fact that if cut him open you would find a great big S drawn in green on his heart? For that matter, where would Aral have wanted to be put when he was eleven, a pretty formative year for him by any yardstick? Are Illyan and his chip in different houses entirely-- no, don't answer that one--

And so on. 

This inquiry definitely not made for gruesome fusion research purposes of any kind, of course.

I'm not sure Gregor would ever get to *wear* the Hat, is the thing - too much of a political risk, there. (I guess it would depend on how exactly one made the fusion work.)

Haha, true-- or he'd be packed off to Durmstrang, which would in any case be a better place to learn all the skills that the supreme ruler of a fantasy-Russian-Empire should have. Like how to wear a really prepossessing fur cape.

Oh, well, if we're adding in the other schools *g*


...Barrayar needs more fur capes. IIRC, there's only one in canon, and that one's Elli's.

It ought to import 'em. Boleros and riding boots are all very well, but there's nothing like sentient fur capes for establishing a national fashion sense. At least until the sentient fur cape singularity...
