What If
Marauders
Moony Warmtail Padfoot Prongs
Four extra-ordinary boys, four very different boys, from different families, different families, different lifestyles, with different qualities. But all four of them had one thing in common. All were magical, all were wizards.
Prongs
James Potter
Brave, courageous, chivalrous, loyal, clever, fun-loving, talented wizard, an athlete and outstanding Quidditch player. He was known as arrogant, proud and pampered child, was very mischievous in his youth but deep down he was a good person, ready to stand for what he thought was right. He was always determined and would always reach to extreme limits and do everything in his power to achieve what he desired, his goals. He was ready to sacrifice himself for the ones he loved. People considered him as the Marauder's leader. He was a true Gryffindor.
Moony
Remus Lupin
Intelligent, calm, tolerant, level-headed, brave, kind, compassionate and good natured. He was the most mature and responsible marauder. But he had a dark secret, he was a werewolf. Werewolf was considered as a dark creature and for which Slytherin was most suited. But Remus was a person with a good personality and knew right from wrong, never belonged there. But his intelligence and love for books and knowledge could place him in Ravenclaw easily. But Remus was very courageous, the reason he belonged in Gryffindor.
Padfoot
Sirius Black
He was the Black sheep in his family. No pun intended. Rebellious, true-hearted and brave was he. He was witty and a talented wizard but also quite an arrogant and mischievous troublemaker, he was Gryffindor's resident play boy, extremely handsome and rash. His entire family was in Slytherin and he was the first to break the record. He was brave, courageous and strong, just as a Gryffindor should be.
Warmtail
Peter Pettigrew
A tagalong, looked up to strong, courageous people. He did not possess true bravery to be in Gryffindor. He betrayed his close friends out of fear. He was a stupid, idiotic, disloyal, weak and a talentless thing. He was treacherous and had a cowardly nature. The Sorting hat was mistaken to put him in Gryffindor.
What if the hat wasn't mistaken? What if the hat saw him as he was? What if his stupidity was enough to put him in Hufflepuff?
Though he wasn't loyal like a Hufflepuff but surely Peter wasn't brave and strong to be a Gryffindor. Nor was he intelligent for Ravenclaw and as for Slytherin? He was just too weak and cunningness was not his quality. His only remaining choice would have been Hufflepuff.
…
It had been a whole minute since Peter Pettigrew had placed the Sorting Hat on his head. It seemed that the hat was having difficulty on deciding.
After long last, the hat said, "Gry-" but suddenly it went quiet again, thinking again. It took another minute before the Hat shouted,
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
