So this chapter takes place post reveal, however, they aren't yet in a relationship. There might be a good amount of chapters like that. I just feel like they shouldn't just start dating as soon as they learn eachothers identities. Though that doesn't mean I won't do any romance stories with them. (I think I've made it VERY clear in the past that I love them as a couple.) This story just required it them to take their time.

Also, some of you may hate me half-way through this chapter. But don't worry, I'll explain myself.

Surprise Results

"Come on Mari, it doesn't take that long." Adrien asked her

"Not that I dislike Harry Potter or anything, it's just that I don't honestly care what house I'd be in."

"Oh come on." He whined, checking to see if Alya and Nino were overhearing "I've been wanting to know everything about you for so long. And ever since I found out you were Ladybug I feel like I should know everything. Pwease!" He added kitty eyes to the last word for extra assurance

"I guess there's no reason not too." She liked Harry Potter but not too much, but she knew how much of a dire fan Adrien was. He was a proud Hufflepuff, which Alya seemed to make fun of him for. And it was something Nino would bring up because supposedly Puffs were supposed to good 'finders'.

He met Alya and Nino over my the laptop as Alya set up the Pottermore test for Marinette. "I knew those Puppy-dog eyes of his would get you." Alya smirked. Marinette knew that Alya was a Ravenclaw while Nino was supposedly a Gryffindor. She knew enough about each house to totally believe it.

Adrien had stated plenty of times since the reveal (and a few times before) that he believed that Ladybug would OBVIOUSLY be a Gryffindor. I mean, come on, heroine of Paris. She was brave, always defended the people, she was selfless, and she was admittedly rather reckless. (But then again, so was her partner.)

"This will be a BIG day for you, Marinette." Nino stated, the three of them acted almost like it was an initiation. And based off how often the three of them referenced their houses, she couldn't be surprised.

"Okay, let's do this." Marinette stated

Marinette swore she could tell exactly what house each question would lead to. Some were so obvious. But she still answered honestly. She honestly believed that Adrien was right. She felt as though it'd just be like her life to sort her there. People always talked about her heroics. Plus, she thought to Chloe how how she felt like the Harry to her Draco. It was obvious. And as she finished up the test she waited to see the answer she KNEW she was going to get.

But wait, why did it say Slytherin?

She heard all three of her friends laugh out loud. Nino was the first one to stop laughing. He honestly thought he was going to have another one in his house. But he wasn't as effected by the outcome as the other two.

Probably being the one to know her the best, Alya could believe it. However, she agreed with the guys when they said she should be Gryffindor. She and Adrien stopped laughing at the same time.

Adrien, being the only one aware of her being Ladybug was actually completely shocked by this revolution. She seemed so much like a Gryffindor. How is Slytherin what she got?

"Does this mean I'm supposed to be a villain?" Marinette comments

"That's a stereotype." Nino states "Most Slytherins aren't evil. However, most dark wizards ARE Slytherins."

"So most likely you won't be evil." Alya smirked "But we WON'T be letting this go."

"I see."

"Don't worry." Alya states "You won't get as much grief as badger-boy over here." She points to Adrien who is wearing a yellow shirt with a badger on it.

"You know what, there's something I can't find." Adrien retorts

"What's that?" Nino falls for it.

"Where I give a shit." This issued a laugh out of all three of them from the shock that Adrien knew what a curse word was and he knew how to use it.

"I wouldn't never guess that a Hufflepuff could say that." Alya smirked. She wasn't going to let this pretty-boy get the last word.

"Well," was all that came out, before Marinette put her arm around his shoulder all friendly-like

"Hey, Its okay. We love you for you Hufflepuffiness." She smirked, and the others smiled at her taste of this HP fan base banter. Alya was so proud.

Marinette didn't think too much about being sorted into Slytherin until later that night when she was getting ready for bed. "Tikki, do I ever act... you know... very..."

"Slytherin-like?" The Kwami stated "Relax Marinette, like your friends said, being a Slytherin isn't a bad thing. And even if so, it's just an online test. You know that you're a hero and you don't need to worry."

There's a sudden knock at her balcony and Marinette can't help but roll her eyes. She lets Cat Noir in. "Don't you ever stay at your place? You have a MANSION!"

"Nah, its homier here." He says as he detransforms. Adrien gives Plagg a piece of Camembert. "So whatcha guys talking about?"

"Marinette is concerned about her Pottermore result because she's a hero." Tikki explains

"Tikki!" Marinette complains but the Kwami just laughs

"I see." Adrien stated. He saw some art supplies on Marinette's desk and he grabbed a paper and a pen. "Which reminds me, I noticed the dress you made today. It seemed really nice, and I KNOW you made it.."

Marinette looked at him oddly. How did that remind him of that? "Why so off-topic all of a sudden?" He didn't answer her. Only looked at her with the face he usually gives her when she is rambling on to him about something she's interested in. His listening face. He was tempting her to talk about it. "Well, if you must know, I was inspired by my mother's dress from an event she went to in China. But I changed it up a little." She noticed him write something quickly down. She didn't show it to him, but he knew it.

Traditional

"It was rather hard to pull off on my own without asking for help. But I pulled it off."

Self-Reliant

"You wanna be a fashion designer, right?" Adrien asks

"Yeah. You know that already." Marinette added as Adrien kept writing

Ambitious

"Adrien, why do want me to talk about this?" She asked, still confused

"I just want to know more about you. You were pretty quiet about this stuff as Ladybug. I just like hearing you talk about things you're passionate about."

"I guess I was pretty secretive before the reveal, huh?"

Mysterious

"Yep." He stated "But i understand. You were being smart."

Realistic

"You're right. I'm glad you understood." She finally decided to ask him the question on her mind "What are you writing?"

"Wait!" He held out his hand "I have a few more to jot down." Specifically the words that he most thought about when he thought of Ladybug

Assertive

Leader

Cunning

Resourceful

"It's a list of traits that you have." He hands it to her "You see, I was thinking about it, and I see that Slytherin totally fits you. All those traits are YOU Marinette. But they also describe the traits that are associated with Slytherin. Traits you should be proud of."

Traditional

Self-reliant

Ambitious

Mysterious

Realistic

Assertive

Leader-like

Cunning

Resourceful

"Instead of being concerned about what you could be, be thankful for what you ARE."

His words of wisdom are cut off when he is given a hug from Marinette. "You're really wise for a Hufflepuff." She didn't smirk like she usually did, but this time she just smiled sweetly as he found himself laughing. Music to her ears. "Thank you, kitty. You're the best."

Awww. Isn't that cute? *Dodges tomatoes thrown at me*

Okay, I admit it. I totally believe that Marinette is a SLYTHERIN and not a Gryffindor like most people thing. *Dodges a rock thrown at me* Hey, watch it! That can kill!

I think I explain myself pretty well in this story. I mean, if you really think about it, she has more Slytherin traits than anything else. Also, another good point to make is her ambition. Not just as a fashion designer like in the story. But she also wants to win over Adrien in the show AND you can even call her goals to defeat HawkMoth and keep Paris safe ambition. Plus, you can't deny that she's cunning and resourceful. I mean, how else could she make use of all her Lucky Charms that seem so useless.

Lastly, just for reference, I am a Hufflepuff just like Adrien. (And trust me, Adrien is a Hufflepuff, but I don't think most people disagree.) I also do have a Ravenclaw friend, like Alya, who'll constantly pick on me for it. And my best friend is a Slytherin like Marinette but the two aren't too similar. So yeah, I partly based this on real life. So that should show how much I care so "You're Welcome"

Oh wait, were those quotation marks a hint at the next chapter? Maybe. You'll just have to wait and see.
