Hello everyone! It's time for...


Sorting Hat RP's Test Drive Meme!



This is all quite simple. Go to every Rper's favourite random number generator, and generate a number. Then post with the character you're considering apping here, along with the prompt you got! But don't just post with your character! Other people will be coming in, of course, so don't hesitate to reply to other people's comments!


1. Potions mixing! Such an under-appreciated art in the wizardry world, yet so crucial. So many things can go wrong, too...

2. Flying! Are you a first timer being taught by an older student? Are you just taking your new broom out for a spin? Either way, Hogwart's grounds provide a large field for you to fly around. Just be careful not to land in the Forbidden Forest.

3. The library. Such a large, useful resource that Hogwarts has. Are you there for your homework? Are you just a bookworm doing research for the sake of research? Either way, you better not try to get in the restricted section without permission! Dark magic lurks therein.

4. Sneaking out! Those dorms are boring, and school is so much more interesting at night... Just be careful not to get caught. Or to walk through a ghost. If you're a teacher, keep up the good work of keeping an eye out for those rascals!

5. Detention! If you get caught stepping over the line, you're put to work. So off you go, cleaning the trophy room with no magic, find wounded animals in the Forbidden Forest (watch out for the werewolves), or gut small animals for potion ingredient. Or maybe you're a teacher! Just waiting for the naughty student you caught to report for duty in the task you have in store for them.

6. Hogsmeade. Everyone needs a break from that big castle, and every student above third year with permission can visit the village on select weekends. Teachers, of course, can visit it whenever they want. There's pubs where you can drink butterbeer, stores to buy new school supplies or clothes, owls to rent, go wild!

7. The life of the paintings is a boring one, and when you have all the time of the world and little to do, you do what is easiest: talking. And boy, do the paintings like to talk. In fact, they're the prime source of gossip at Hogwarts! What juicy things has your character heard from these decorative blabbermouths?

8. Quidditch try outs! Are you a hopeful, trying to make this year the one where you take Hogwart's Quidditch league by storm? Are you a captain, dutifully watching for a diamond in the rough? Or are you just a spectator, watching everything unfold for espionage, schadenfreude, or just excitement at your team?

9. Hogswarts express! Are you a bitty first year, finding a place for your own, and maybe trying to make new friends? Are you an older student, catching up with your friends? Either way, a long trip like that is much spent with people than all alone, no?

10. Wildcard. Pick any of the scenarios above, or make your own.

Is that so? You needn't spoil me, Strider. [Your Dad does that enough.] Nor do you need to flatter me. It won't make your grades any higher, I assure you.

No. It was a surprisingly well put argument and I was blown away by the mere fact that you seem to have forgone the intentional misspellings. I did, however, note that you still insist on including your...for lack of a better word...creative input in assignments.

Not for the grades, man. Gotta make sure you're appreciated, and obviously you need only the finest and gaudiest quill I can get my hot little hands on and conveniently leave behind.

[Dave shrugs.]

They help me concentrate, and they act as a visual aid. Not a bad deal from my standpoint.

You can make me feel appreciated by payin' attention in class and doin' your work properly. Even if I could use a horrifically garish quill to use so that everybody knows when I'm gradin' papers.

Perhaps not from yours, but I've found it difficult to appreciate your work when I find it accompanied by various parts of the male anatomy and cariacatures of who I can only assume are your classmates.

I do the work properly, and I definitely pay attention. [When he feels like it. It's a wonder that he's actually good at this class.]

I at least make sure to not grace the parchment with my artistic talents when it's an exam paper. Are the pictures effecting my grade on the papers at all?
