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.

Well, to get back to your original question, what if Simon is a Ravenclaw and the chip is a Hufflepuff? Or the other way around? (I do suffer greatly from anthropomorphic tendencies, if you couldn't tell.)

Miles and the Hat would be a great name for a band. (somehow I think Ivan would be outvoted in the naming process)

Not sure I want to know what happens if the hat and the chip get together.

It… would be pretty adorable if the chip were Hufflepuff to his Ravenclaw. Oh, Simon.

Ivan's only there to carry the drums (and the groupies), poor lad. Or maybe they let the hat do the transporting for them, given its mystical abilities to teleport objects into the hands of its wearer. Ruby-encrusted sword, immortal bird, tambourines…

Hah! That's presumably what happens when Illyan tries to track down the errant musicians and through a hilarious series of events gets entangled in their creative schemes, culminating in his live cover of Memory.
