If you are a potterhead like me and don't agree with the sorting let me know your opinion in the reviews (in a nice way if possible). You can also share your house, I'm a Slytherin ;)
October 10th: No way
(Shortly after AoU, referring to events before AoU)
It was a rather quiet night at the New Avengers Facility. Most of its residents had gone out or were visiting friends in the city. Natasha and Steve were the only ones staying in.
They had met up in the common area to watch a movie together. Steve let Natasha decide while he was preparing some snacks in the kitchen. When he came back and placed the crisps and bagels on the table next to the soda bottles Nat had already started the movie.
He immediately recognized the type of film by the music: „Which part are we watching?"
Nat grinned and took one of the bagels: „My favorite of course."
Steve smiled: „I know that, the Half Blood Prince."
Nat took a bite and just nodded.
Steve helped himself with some of the crisps and took them with him as he leaned back on the couch next to her.
For a while they were just watching the movie, although they had seen it many times before. Nat suddenly spoke up: „Remember when you finished reading the books?"
Steve smiled but didn't look away from the screen while talking: „And Tony made us do the sorting test? How could I forget."
Nat chuckled lightly and stretched: „I still remember Tony's face vividly. That was the best thing ever."
Steve joined in and now looked at her briefly: „I've never seen him so shocked before..."
The two team-mates were talking about the time they all first moved into Avengers Tower after the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. Steve had already read two of the Harry Potter books by the time, but Tony was throwing around spoilers a lot so he decided to put those on the top of his bucket list.
Within two more weeks he had finished the series and Tony instantly announced they had to do a group picture of them with their respective scarves on. Then they would have a movie marathon.
Tony, of course, had done the test on pottermore as soon as it had come out. He was in disbelieve when the others told him they hadn't tried it out yet. The only one other than Tony to already know their house was Natasha.
She initially didn't want to take part in this since it was popular to find out your sorting at the time but eventually curiosity had gotten the better of her.
As proof to the others Tony opened his account to show them he was telling the truth and the screen got dunked in red immediately. Tony was a really proud Gryffindor and Bruce had a hard time not laughing at him for being so adamant about things that weren't even real.
He picked up one of the scarfs to match his house and put it on. He had bought enough of every kind (just in case), but he thought he had a pretty good idea where to put the others.
Tony looked at Nat afterwards. She was being secretive about her sorting: „Well then, Natasha... I'm dying to know!"
She rolled his eyes at him and sat down in front of the monitor: „How old are you again, Stark?"
Tony didn't comment on that, but when Natasha opened her account he couldn't hold back: „Hah! Of course, you are a Slytherin!" Her screen was colored in elegant emerald and silver.
Natasha grinned and rose from the chair again, she passed Tony who was still excited and helped herself with her respective scarf: „Calm down. It's just fiction..."
Gesturing towards Bruce who was standing closest to him the scientist sat down. He wasn't really into the series that much, but nevertheless enjoyed the concept of it. Tony helped him set up the account quickly, but before he could click on the sorting test Tony yelled: „Wait!"
The others almost jumped and he continued in a lower tone of voice: „Let's all first guess. I'm saying he is for sure a Ravenclaw."
The others nodded in agreement. Clint was leaning against a pillar near the screen: „I guess there is no discussion needed here."
To nobody's surprise Bruce was greeted by a dark-blue screen at the results page. He looked over his shoulder to see his friends nodding in agreement before standing up and grabbing a scarf: „Interesting... it isn't really predictable with those questions."
After that they all guessed Thor's. It had been difficult to explain some of earth's things to Thor, but Harry Potter wasn't one of those. The God first was hesitant to read a made up story about a wizard, but when he had started he read all the books in one week and finished before Steve. Most of them were sure he was in Gryffindor (himself included) while Clint and Steve thought of him more as a Hufflepuff (because he was a nice and loyal guy). When he got sorted into Gryffindor a booming „YES" could be heard from the chair and Tony was cheering. Proudly he handed over a scarf that matched his own to the God of Thunder.
Then they were debating who should go next and decided on Clint, so Steve would be last one. The archer took Thor's place and Tony set up the account. While he was doing that the others placed their friend in every house except Ravenclaw. Clint was ignoring the debate going on in the background and went through with the questions.
The screen split in half and the results offered Clint a place both in Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Everyone stopped their arguments and looked at him. Tony was the one to address it: „Looks like you're a hatstall, Legolas. What are you gonna do?"
Clint smiled and clicked on Hufflepuff right away: „Easy thing for me."
Natasha couldn't help but celebrate her triumph: „Yes! I told you so! Bruce and I were right!"
Tony rolled his eyes: „I wasn't wrong... he just didn't pick my guess."
Clint got up and took one of the yellow and black scarves. Now Steve was the one sitting down. They set up the account quickly.
Tony crossed his arms in front of his chest and sighed: „I hate to admit it, but 100 % capsicle will join Thor and me."
The others nodded. Clint shrugged: „Yeah. I agree. Cap for sure is a Gryffindor."
Natasha looked over to Clint: „I'm not so sure..."
Tony now turned from Steve to Nat: „What do you mean, Red?"
She smiled: „I worked with this dude for two years now... and he for sure is not a Gryffindor."
Tony looked confused: „What else?"
She grinned: „I am pretty sure he's gonna join me."
Raising an eyebrow Tony shook his head: „Never ever will that guy be a Slytherin. He's not evil."
That made Natasha laugh: „It doesn't mean, you're evil, Stark. It means you are ambitious and shrewd. That you are not afraid of a challenge, but know when to change plans... not something a Gryffindor would do. Also, Slytherins have proven to be great leaders. Those are all things Steve is."
Tony just stared at her when Clint responded: „Sure Nat... but it just doesn't sit right with me. I'm still saying he's a Gryffindor."
Bruce considered his options for a moment, then spoke up: „You were right every time before, Natasha, but here I am with Clint."
Thor grinned: „Aye! He's joining us."
Tony nodded: „You'll see, that you're wrong." He took one of the Gryffindor scarves out of the box ready to hand it to Steve, who started the quiz.
Nobody was talking anymore. They were all staring at the screen in anticipation. When the results came up Tony dropped the scarf in disbelieve: „No way... That just didn't happen... no no no."
Steve grinned and walked over to the box innocently. He took one of the Slytherin scarves out and gave Nat, who was holding her hand up, a high-five.
He looked at the others who were all still coping with this information: „So... are we watching the movies now or what?"
