A/n I'm back from vacation! I had a ton of fun, and did not really end up writing much over the week, but here is what I came up with. I also started a series of one shots about Tsuna and his Guardians, if you want to check it out. This was really fun to write, I hope if makes sense.
P.S. I am running out of ideas, feel free to throw me prompts for either collection.
P.P.S. Also, someone said they were confused. Unfortunately, I can't really help with that unless I know what you are confused about. So please be a little more specific next time.
Disclaimer: I couldn't find anything saying I own either story, so I guess I only own it in my dreams.
The Strangest Sorting
Normally, you could at least guess what House someone would be sorted into based on look and attitude. With the Italian transfer students, it was like all the rules got thrown away. All seven of them fit into one of the basic categories that the sorting was based off of. Or so everyone thought. They only realized something was very different when the first one got sorted.
"Sawada, Tsunayoshi!" A boy with the fluffiest brown hair they had ever seen walked up to the stool. He stumbled on the stairs, caught himself, and continued walking. His whole being radiated kindness and warmth, and he looked slightly unnerved by the amount of eyes on him.
"Hey, Harry, I bet he's a Hufflepuff. He looks to scared and shy to be anything else." Ron did what they did at every sorting. They made guesses about what House each person would join. Harry wasn't a fan of it, but at least it passed the time, and it's not like they actually bet anything.
"Definitely a Hufflepuff. Look at they way he holds himself, hunched over like that. There's no way he'll get sorted into anywhere else." Dean nodded along and gestured with his hands, as if he had to emphasize the point. Harry watched as the hat sat on the boys head, taking longer than it had for anyone besides himself. The hat finally shifted and opened its mouth.
"Slytherin!"
As one, the entire hall broke out into whispers as the transfer took the hat off and strode over to the correct table. Right before he sat down he gave a mischievous smirk that sent chills down their spines. He said something that had the entirety of the Slytherin table making room for him on the bench, faces paling as if they had seen a wraith.
"Next we have Gokudera, Hayato!" This time it was the teen with silver hair, green eyes brighter than Harry's, and slightly tanned skin that made his way up the walkway. He had a scowl on his face and walked with a purpose that said "Come near me and I'll hit you."
"Oh! I bet he's a Slytherin through and through. Just take a look at that scowl!" Seamus leaned over from beside him and spoke in a stage whisper.
"Probably, and if I had to make a second guess, I would say Gryffindor." Harry agreed. Because really, the guy looked way to mean to be in Hufflepuff.
The hat sat on his head for a while, its mouth twitching every now and them. When it shouted the name of his House, everyone in the room was shocked once more. "Ravenclaw!"
The silver haired boy took the hat off his head and moved to his table, nodding at Tsunayoshi as he went.
"Ravenclaw? Are they sure the hat didn't make a mistake? And if the hat did make a mistake, maybe he made one on the first student as well." Hermione barely paused to breathe, caught in speculation about the transfer students.
"Sasagawa, Ryohei!" The other teen with white hair came up, though this one was smiling brightly as he shouted "Extreme!" from the top of his lungs.
"Gryffindor."
"Definitely Gryffindor." At this point they were just hoping to peg one of the transfers in the right house. Otherwise they would feel like fools and idiots.
This time, as soon as the hat was on his head it laughed long and loud before shouting, "Gryffindor!"
They cheered with the rest of their table as the teen came over and sat next to them. "Let me extremely introduce myself! I am Ryohei! Nice to meet you!"
As they introduced themselves, they realized that Ryohei only had one volume setting. Loud. Very, very loud. They had just finished talking when the next Sorting commenced.
"Yamamoto, Takeshi!" This time it was the teen with sun kissed skin, black hair, and pale gold eyes that went up. He walked confidently, a bamboo stick swung over his shoulder.
"What do you think? Hufflepuff?" guessed Ron. Almost immediately Ryohei began shaking his head.
"I extremely think he will be a Slytherin." The statement was solemn, and the way he said it made it clear there was a story there.
"Slytherin? No way! He's too happy to be Slytherin."
"Remember, what you see is not always what you get." With that, Ryohei turned away and watched the hat lower on his friends head. It touched Takeshi's head and gave a small squeak as it said, "Slytherin!"
The hall was silent as the smiling teen walked over to Tsunayoshi. The clapping ended before it began, and whispers abounded around the room. With only two people left, speculation was rife in the large room.
"Rokudo, Mukuro!"
"Slytherin."
"Yep, Slytherin." Considering that Ryohei was nodding along, they weren't shocked when they were actually right about where he got sorted. As he walked he gave a very creepy "Kufufufu".
"Lambo!" The youngest one stepped forward and got sorted into Hufflepuff, to which the scattered transfers nodded. The final person to get Sorted was, admittedly, the scariest teenager that Harry had ever seen. He was tall, and he had a stare that felt like daggers when it fell on your skin. Immediately, people mentally moved him into Slytherin, though Ryohei laughed extremely hard when they asked if that was where he thought the scary teen (Kyoya Hibari) would go.
The hat seemed to struggle for a moment before it started shouting, "I am not a herbivore! I have no idea how that man got your trust, you crazy Hufflepuff!"
More silence followed as the teen moved away. The Hufflepuffs left a large radius around him, his aura pushing them away. The transfers laughed into the silence, each of them amused by the confusion that followed them.
This quickly became known among teachers and students alike as The Strangest Sorting...
