I was hoping maybe you’d be open to trying to write a fic of george x harry? I love their ship but too many times people put Fred in their ship…and it turns weird. Just a request :)

onyxjay

I am very open to it. In fact, for the fic I’ve been working on for the past few months, I have been considering it. So you might just be in luck.
            
            Might because a) it’s still not a 100% guarantee and b) even if I do, it wouldn’t be the focal point.

Scrolling on Reddit and I came across an interesting perspective I hadn’t considered before. “Harry should have been in Slytherin! The hat said so!” is a take many people agree with, but a few people pointed out this:
          
          Harry was the first to bring up Slytherin — “Not Slytherin” — and then, and only then, did the hat go (paraphrased), “Are you sure? You’d do well in Slytherin.”
          
          Also, the hat brought up courage and a thirst for knowledge before Harry had even spoken. If we looked at the most baseline traits of the four houses, it sounds like Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were the ones the hat was considering more.
          
          (Also also, and this is veering into more personal opinion, canon!Harry should not have been Slytherin because the story would have vastly changed. But that’s what fanfiction is for!)

@altaie70 good point

@onyxjay You shouldn't forget that Harry was reckless and that mixed up with courage brought him trouble even though he did it for a good cause. But that's what differentiated him from Slytherin. He had the right mix of slyness and honesty that attracted the right sort but also fend off the wrong sort . If you ask me, he is somewhere between being a Gryfindor and Slytherin, neither of these houses can call him theirs completely.

@fourth_wall_breaker you mean when he was with the Dursleys? I think that’s fanon. Harry told Hagrid he gets good marks
