Sorted. (Seventeen Hogwarts House Preference)
(AN: This may seem a little bare bones but I tried not to make it too long because I'm going to write a headcanons post including ALL my Hogwarts headcanons for all the boys, and it's going to be long af so be prepared for that. This is just a little something to wet the palette beforehand. -Tanisha
S.Coups/Seungcheol: Gryffindor
Obvious observation number one. Seungcheol is the charismatic leader of the group; he's the Harry Potter of Seventeen. Although at first glance, he's probably much, much happier than Harry Potter ever was (shots fired). He's confident, outgoing, displays leadership and nurturing; he's everything in the classic "big brother" Gryffindor. His sorting is obvious and stereotypical, but not in a bad way.
(Much less obvious.) Jeonghan, much like many other members of this band, is a giant ball of fluff. He's sweet and kind and prides himself in taking care of others (aka the "mom" role). This makes him a perfect suit for Hufflepuff. He's not super passive or shy - but he is incredibly loyal and always looks out for others and their well being over his own. He is the Cedric Diggory type Hufflepuff; gorgeous, popular, confident, but humble, hard-working, and honest.
I mentioned his sorting previously in the Woozi AU oneshot, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. And honestly, I never once second guessed my choice. Joshua is intelligent, naturally talented, and although humble and more on the shy side, he just seems to be a quiet Ravenclaw. He seems to be the type to love reading and books and at Hogwarts he would probably have a thirst for magical knowledge and have no trouble being at the top of his class (but claim that it's really not his fault). And plus, he's just very beautiful (as is all of Seventeen) and Ravenclaws are known for their astounding beauty.
Junhui would be the good old greasy Slytherin. I like to compare him to Blaise Zabini - but with more grease, and a more visible soft side. On the outside he would be despicable; the typical annoying Slytherin that everyone could and would hate, or at least dislike, just because he is a Slytherin and easy to judge for it. But to those that know him and take the time to get to know him, he's a delight. He's sweet and would kill for his friends. Even if he can be the teasing, joking friend at times. We all know he's greasy af in real life (by the way, I love that term "greasy", it perfectly describes what we're going for) but he's also a fluff ball and some Slytherins are just like that within their friend circles and behind closed doors. Overall, perfect Slytherin and with his longer hair he would look killer in that uniform.
Hoshi/Soonyoung: Gryffindor
Once again, ball of fluff. But this boy has far too much attitude to be a Hufflepuff. That much attitude cannot be contained by black and yellow. His brand of sexiness, cuteness, and overall charisma combined is only suited for red and gold. He would probably be a hat stall, though. He probably wouldn't have a house preference, and have qualities for Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and maybe even Slytherin, so the hat would have a very hard time deciding. He is a good friend, confident, funny, and a good leader in the sense that people follow him because he's likable. He's the uber popular Gryffindor that everybody knows and wants to be friends with.
Emo king of the century probably influenced the hat and begged to be a Slytherin. From the outside the attitude suits him, more as a costume, but really he's very chill for a Slytherin. People are surprised when they get to know him.
I fell in love with the idea of him as a Slytherin. His innate aggression contrasted with his cuteness and small stature makes him the best ironic Slytherin. He can be cranky and grumpy but also happy and a good friend. He's a dedicated, hard-working, high-achieving person who scolds himself but stops at nothing to gets what he wants. Can be a bit of a bully (but does know when to stop), but is a very loyal and amazing friend to have. A great and unpredictable Slytherin.
When I mentioned in the Hogwarts AU fanfic that Hufflepuffs are giant rays of sunshine I may or may not have been directly thinking of Lee Seokmin. He is the original giant Hufflepuff ray of sunshine. If anyone asks "what the hell is a Hufflepuff?" he is exhibit A. No further explanation needed.
(Secretly maybe I wanted Meanie to be the perfect Gryffindor/Slytherin opposites attract couple; like Drarry.) Mingyu is the handsome, confident, friendly, nice Gryffindor guy. Probably gets 'alright' grades because he doesn't care that much about his school work or gets distracted by girls (or *cough* Wonwoo). He's charming and doesn't mind taking time alone (which is rare for a Gryffindor, but good) and would look killer in that uniform.
Literal cinnamon roll. And as we all know, that's Hufflepuff. Very stereotypical, but very true. He's adorable and kind of shy, maybe sensitive (needs to be protected from the dangers of this world) - fits all the typical qualities of a Hufflepuff and thrives in the environment. Also he would just look good in that tie and constantly try to nicely explain to people about the badger and... (getting too deep.)
Sassy Ravenclaw. Seungkwan almost has too much personality for any house. He could have easily been a Slytherin but when it comes down to it he is not cut throat enough and his natural talents and vanity (for lack of a better word - let's just say he feels himself and it's not a bad thing) make him the perfect sassy Ravenclaw.
I had a very hard time deciding him too. Major hat stall. But Ravenclaw is good for him - he's a major science nerd (can see him being the Herbology nerd that Neville was) and clearly he's good with language and he's creative and I associate Ravenclaws with being meme lords and we know that he's just a giant meme.
Another hat stall. Maybe a Hufflepuff, but he is someone else with a lot of raw natural talent and very eager to learn. He is the eager little Ravenclaw always carrying a stack of books twice his size and taking notes in class at twenty miles an hour. He would be the best student and excited about everything that goes on at Hogwarts (just as he is with dance and performance).
(AN: You may also note that I accidentally equally divided them up between the houses.)
