Gryffindor. Lavender and/or Parvarti. They're the sort of gossipy, annoying girls that I never got along with in high school, because I'm just not into that 'scene.' I don't care much about how people view me, and I'm not boy obsessed, and I'm just... not a typical teenage girl, I suppose, which is what they really seem to be. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just never been what I've been interested in, and I tend to not get along with people like that, probably mostly because I don't and can't understand them. It seems rather boring to me.
Slytherin I guess I'd have to say Crabbe and Goyle, because of their complete lack of an ability to think for themselves -- but they're the type of people I'd be more likely to simply ignore, because there's no reason for me to interract with them or anything whatsoever. I have no respect for people like them, because just blindly following someone is such a ridiculous idea to me. I'm sure that at least part of this is due to the books being told from Harry's -- and therefore a Gryffindor's -- point of view, but you can't even really tell them apart, can you? It's boring and loses my interest quickly.
Hufflepuff I think that I have to go with Ernie Macmillan. While I understand his need to protect a friend, his blind belief in rumors about Harry in CoS is just... really, very annoying. I'm a skeptic at heart, and I rarely believe anything at face value. Though he does make up for it later, and I can appreciate that, I've always found him annoying because of that initial reaction I had. I can respect loyalty to a friend, but there's just something about him and the way he does things that's felt off to me, and I don't think I'd get along with him because you never know what he's going to believe.
Ravenclaw Marietta. No one likes a snitch. Betraying your friends is just not something that I can stand, period. Also, the fact that she didn't stand up for herself -- if she didn't want to go to the DA meetings, then she shouldn't have. She's whiny and annoying and exactly the sort of person that gets on my nerves so easily. I may not be the bravest person in the world, and I may hate confrontation, but if I don't want to do something, I won't. And I think that, for the most part, that's how it should be.
