She asked as she played in her food with a fork. "I understand the sorting of the houses at Hogwarts. It's based on personalities of the founders and how much you are like them. But I don't understand the sorting of this place. Animals?"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><strong>Brian Fletcher</strong><br/><br/>The slightly older student smiled.  "Technically, I suppose the Hogwarts sorting is based on animals," he said, "Snakes are supposed to be sneaky, for Slytherin.  Badgers industrious for Hufflepuff, gryphons brave and chivalrous for Gryffindor, ravens wisdom for Ravenclaw.  The animals here are characteristic based too, at least most are according to the old medieval bestiaries."<br/><br/>that little smile remained.  He'd always liked history, so in that regard he hadn't been too surprised by the place.  At least not as much as other students.  The old medieval wizards and witches were utterly fascinating.  They'd believed that hyenas, for example, were capable of changing their gender.
