The Sorting Cat

[azurelunatic]

So, there's a kitten stuck up in a tree. The responses from the various Hogwarts houses?


Gryffindor? Rush over to the tree, climb up to attempt to rescue the kitten.

Hufflepuff? Using teamwork, grab an end of the limb and have many people hang on to bend it low enough so that someone can be lifted up high enough to reach the kitten (and the stuck Gryffindor).

Ravenclaw? Pick some wild catnip and find a ladder and attempt to entice the kitten down. (The Gryffindor is also out of reach of the ladder by now.)

Slytherin? Borrow someone's cellphone and call the fire department to come and effect the rescue. Take all the credit for being the level-headed one while the rest of the people were rushing about in general distraction.

Hmm. I see it like this...

Gryffindor? Use a dangerous treant potion on yourself in order to grow tree-sized and -shaped, entice the kitty to your own branches, then revert to human (you hope) with kitty in arms. (Except how do you drink the antidote when your hands are twigs and you have no mouth?)

Hufflepuff? Taking turns, each person casts a jelly charm on the branch the kitty is sitting on, so that the kitty falls/slides gently to the ground one wiggly branch at a time.

Ravenclaw? Use a rare bonsai charm to shrink the tree to knee height and then pluck the kitty out of it.

Slytherin? Is it a purebred cat? If no, ignore it. If there seems to be some reason to rescue the cat, blast the tree to smithereens and catch the cat when the tree blows apart.

Hmm, these options all require magical knowledge already, which means they wouldn't work for sorting.

Duh.

Still funny anyway. Let's say this is how the houses would do their OWL exams. ;)

Hee. I like the Ravenclaw one.
