Miraculous Hogwarts AU (First Day)
“Adrien.” Gabriel Agreste called out his son’s name as he was about to step onto the train. Adrien turned to be greeted with his fathers hands on his shoulders and steel-colored eyes boring holes into his soul. He received no further warning than that before being pulled into a rare, rare hug. Adrien froze for a second then relaxed into the embrace.
Far too soon Mr. Agreste pulled away. “Be good, son.”
“I will, Father.” He gave him one last smile then stepped onto the train.
He opened a door behind which sat a small girl with pink ribbons in her black pigtails. She wore muggle clothing and sat curled up in her seat, staring out the window. An unusually red tawny owl was perched on her knee.
“Hey.”
His voice made her start. “Um. Hi.”
“Do you mind if I join you?”
“Sure, yeah. No! That is I don’t mind, I mean - go ahead?” The girl’s cheeks went pink and she seemed to shrink into herself even more. Adrien guessed she was a muggle-born; she was alone, clearly nervous, and seemed pretty out of her element.
He smiled and took the seat opposite her. “Thanks. I’m Adrien, by the way.”
“Marinette. Nice to meet you, Adrien.” She put her feet down and stuck her hand out. He shook it.
“Likewise, Marinette. So, are you excited to finally see Hogwarts?”
“I guess so. This is all so new to me I don’t really know what to expect. My parents are, well, they don’t have magic, you see.” So he was right. “I guess you grew up waiting to go to Hogwarts, huh?”
“Yeah. Pretty much.”
“I thought I heard some other kids talking about houses? I thought we were going to live in a castle.”
Adrien grinned. “Houses as in groups inside the school. A house is kind of like one big team, and they compete against each other. You get sorted into a house depending on your personality.”
Marinette’s eyebrows scrunched together in concern. “The professors separate us then pit us against each other?”
“I - I think it’s more like having a place to belong even on the first day of school. Each house is named after one of the Hogwarts founders: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Everyone in my family has been a Gryffindor for generations.”
Marinette hummed thoughtfully. Before she had a chance to respond, another girl opened the compartment door. She wore muggle clothes too, but the button-down oxford and jogging pants combination clashed so that it was clear she grew up in witch’s robes. She had rich red-brown hair, soft ochre skin, and a cute mole above her right eyebrow that made her look permanently sassy. She had an owl cage tucked under her arm and dark-rimmed glasses threatening to slide off her nose.
“Oh, thank god, all the other compartments are packed. Can my friend and I join you?”
Adrien looked to Marinette, who said, “Of course. Are you a first year, too?”
“Yep. I’m Alya - one sec.” She leaned out the door into the corridor. “Nino! I found a place!” 
She sat down, and another boy came in right behind her. He was already wearing black wizard’s robes. “Thank you so much, dudes. We barely got on the train before it started moving.” He held out his hand to Adrien, who was closest to him. “I’m Nino, by the way.”
He shook it, smiling. “Adrien. And this is Marinette.” Marinette gave a shy little wave.
“Whoa, sweet bird, dudette. I’ve only seen a color like that a few times before!” Nino switched seats so he was closer to Marinette and held out a finger. “May I?”
“Sure.” Nino stroked the owl’s head delicately. It closed its eyes contentedly.
“She likes you.”
“What’s her name?” Alya asked.
“I’ve been calling her Tikki. Is that a dumb name for an owl? I’m sorry this is all new to me.”
“Nah. I once heard of an owl called Pigwidgen. You said new? Are you a muggleborn?”
“Uh, yes, yes I am.”
“Well don’t worry,” Alya wrapped an arm around Marinette’s shoulders, making her smile. “We’ll get you all caught up, right boys?”
They both responded in the affirmative. Marinette respondes, “Adrien’s been telling me about the Hogwarts houses.”
“Oh yeah? Have a guess where you’ll be sorted, pretty boy?”
Adrien sighed. Alya’s face and voice were good-naturedly teasing, but he’d long since tired of that nickname. “My whole family’s been Gryffindors for generations.”
“Dude same for mine and Hufflepuff.” Nino gently shoulder bumped him. “Maybe we’ll break the pattern.”
Alya snorted. “Nino if you’re not a Hufflepuff I’ll eat my wand.”
“Why’re you so sure?” Marinette asked.
“Hufflepuff is the most inclusive house. The founder only wanted her students to work hard and be fair, and Nino’s scolded me for taking some of his ice cream.”
“If you wanted a double scoop then you should have bought a double scoop!”
The compartment door slammed open, startling them all. A girl with brand new, jet black robes, red earrings, and a high blonde ponytail posed in the doorway. Unfortunately, Adrien recognized her as Chloe Bourgeois, and old family friend.
“Adrikins! Where’ve you been? I’ve been looking all over for you. Sabrina and I have a compartment farther up the train. Let’s go, no need to hang out with these losers.”
Marinette folded back into a ball, making her body as small as possible. Nino glowered, and Alya crossed her arms. “Watch who you’re calling loser, you brat.”
Chloe gasped. “Do you have any idea who I am?”
“Chloe - ” Adrien tried. But she interrupted him.
“My daddy is the Minister of Magic, for your information!”
“Oh who cares?” Startled, Adrien looked to see Marinette clasp her hands over her mouth, apparently just as surprised by her outburst as he was.
Chloe sneered. “If you know what’s good for you, you should. He’s the most powerful wizard in Britain.”
“Most influential, maybe,” Adrien said.
“Et tu, Adrikins?”
Marinette huffed. “Just get out of here. No matter who you are, you don’t get to talk to us like that!”
“Ugh. I’m over this dumb compartment. Let’s go, Adrien.”
Adrien glanced between his oldest - and only - friend, and the three kids who’d been friendlier with him in five minutes than Chloe had in five years. “I think I’m staying. You go ahead.”
“Fine.” She huffed off and the compartment door slid shut on her wake.
Alta crossed her arms. “That girl’s a piece of work.”
“She’s a lot.”
“Let me guess: she’s sweet once you get to know her?”
Adrien thought for a second then shook his head. A faint call in the corridor from the sweets trolley witch reached his ears and he jumped up. “Trolley’s coming, you guys want anything? My treat.”
Marinette and Nino started.
“Oh no you don’t have to”
“I’ve got a little pocket money here”
“Are you two seriously turning down free candy? Guys, he’s offering!” Alya looked perplexed.
Adrien opened the door. “I’ll just get a bit of everything.” He was out before they could make any more protests. Adrien figured they should introduce Marinette to as many wizard of sweets as they could.
As it turned out, Marinette loved the licorice wands but was appalled by the Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans.
“Why on earth would anyone want a glass-flavored sweet?” she exclaimed. Adrien hid his chuckle behind his hand.
Alya shook the box, peering inside. “It’s about the dare. And pranking your siblings. I convinced my little sister that a dirt-flavored bean was chocolate. I swear, she was so mad, pink sparks burst out of her ears.”
“Speaking of,” Nino scooped up a couple chocolate frogs, tossing one to Marinette. Adrien had just stuffed his fourth into his mouth. “You gotta try these, they’re the best chocolate in the world and they come with collector cards!”
Besides the ribbeting noises while she swallowed, she seemed to like the chocolate frogs a lot more. She examined the that came inside. “Ooooh, I’ve heard of her! I got Morgana. She was a real witch?”
“As real as a salty ghost,” Alya replied. Marinette gazed in wonder at the card in her hands. Adrien gathered his chocolate frog cards and held them out to her.
“Here, you can have mine, I don’t collect them.”
Her face flushed. “Oh. Oh! Um, th-thanks Adrien that’s sweet really. I mean, that’s really sweet, thank you.” She grabbed them from his outstretched hand and huddled back into her seat. For the thousandth time Adrien cursed his heritage. He didn’t want a cute, nice girl getting nervous around him just because of how he looked.
Marinette was rifling through her chocolate frog cards. “There are witches and wizards on here from throughout history...some are even still alive...why are they all wearing the same thing?”
Nino frowned. “Huh?”
“Look at the chocolate frog cards, the robes hardly change at all. Isn’t fashion a thing in the wizarding world?”
“Of course it is,” Alya said. “It’s just not as finicky as muggle fashion.”
“The clothes just never change...that’s so odd...”
“Wizards are very traditional,” Adrien explained. “Magical artists and designers tend to focus on preserving our cultures and histories.”
“Well, that doesn’t mean you can’t accessorize a bit,” Marinette pointed out. “There’s so much potential here. I wonder if I could get a dress form at Hogwarts...”
She pulled a sketchpad out of her purse and began drawing. They were rough, quick sketches, but Adrien could tell the moves were well practiced. With a few strokes of a...not a quill, what’s that writing thing called?...whatever it was, a few quick lines and he could see the clothes she imagined like a projection from her mind.
Adrien noticed Marinette worked with the tip of her pink tongue sticking out the corner of her moth. He decided he definitely wanted to be her friend.
--
Adrien had been called up first for the sorting, and had been sitting with the deliberating old hat on his head for ages. Marinette checked her watch. Six minutes had gone by. “Is this normal?”
“No.” Alya sounded fascinated. “If the sorting takes longer than five minutes we call it a ‘hatstall.’ It’s supposed to be incredibly rare.”
“I wonder which houses he’s deciding between.”
“I don’t know. That boy’s hard to get a read on.”
Her watch was approaching the six minutes and thirty second mark when she heard the hat boom out its choice. “HUFFLEPUFF!”
Alya snorted. “Chloe does not look happy.”
Marinette watched Adrien find a place among his new house mates. They hugged him and ruffled his hair and the lines of his robes became yellow. He already seemed to glow with an alluring, metallic shine, but the big smile on his face made him ten times more beautiful. Marinette shook herself when she realized she was staring.
Chloe Bourgeois got sorted into Gryffindor after a comparatively brief stint on the stood. She proudly and happily strutted to her table as scarlet dripped down her robes.
When it was her turn, the hat blocked Alya’s vision and the hundreds of eyes staring at her. A rumbly voice spoke in her ears. Or was it directly into her mind?
“Mmmm, interesting, I sense fire in this one. Very brave, very stubborn, very noble. But you are a cunning one, as well; I sense great ambition in your heart.”
Alya’s chest clenched. That sounds like a Slytherin thing. But you said brave...
“Little fox, you would thrive in Slytherin or Gryffindor. You straddle a line of values. Ahh, I see you’re another Cesaire.”
You remember sorting my sister?
“And your father. You have their passion in your blood. You all are deeply magnanimous. But you, oh you’re so very clever and resourceful. I’m inclined to place you in Slytherin, if you have no objection...”
...I don’t.
“Very well. Welcome to the house of SLYTHERIN!” The sorting hat shouted the last word to the whole hall and was lifted from her head. She slid off the stool and walked to the table applauding raucously. As she sat and older students shook her hand and patted her back, she watched in wonder as the trimmings of her robes shimmered and turned emerald green.
“Oh, yes, I know precisely where you belong.”
Is it Gryffindor? Marinette dreaded the notion of living in the same place as Chloe Bourgeois.
“I can see your dreams, young lady. You may look all sugary sweet to the outside world, but you’re scrappy. You hunger for your destiny.”
All this was news to Marinette, but she didn’t protest as the hat called out “SLYTHERIN!”
In a daze she found a seat next to Alya. She nudged her. “Girl that was fast. You wore the hat for maybe five, ten seconds?”
“It was very adamant I be sorted into Slytherin,” Marinette confused. “Yours took longer.”
Alya pinched her thumb and forefinger so they were a centimeter apart. “I was this close to joining the Gryffindors.”
Marinette smiled. “Well, I’m glad we’re in the same house.”
They watched as one by one the other first years got sorted. As Alya predicted, the sorting hat barely touched Nino’s head before it bellowed out HUFFLEPUFF! He scooted next to Adrien and gave him a big hug. He looks good with yellow on his robes, Alya thought.

𝑭𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒅𝒔: 𝑱𝒖𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒓
Tumblr media
Evangeline Philippa Brokenshire, b. 1934
Tumblr media
Firstborn daughter of Jude and Caspar Brokenshire (@cursebreakerfarrier ) she was a sweet, intelligent in many senses and extremly beautiful, who got sorted in Ravenclaw like her parents and was one of the brightest witches in her time. She got to know Tom Riddle, but couldn't bring herself to trust him, so she distanced herself from him and did not marry until she was thirty, wanting to be stable on her own right without the aid of both wealthy parents.
Annalisa Gaia Brokenshire, b. 1938
Tumblr media
The baby of the family, she was born four years after her sister Evangeline and was thus over protected by everybody, especially her father and her oldest stepbrother, Joseph. She was bold, feisty and with a great courage, and it was no surprise to her parents when she was sorted into Ravenclaw. She was a great Quidditch Player and went on to be an Auror like her father had been in his youth, which caused him pride, especially seeing her thrive and become the youngest woman to be head of the department at only 34.
Bonus: Joseph Adrien Dubois, b. 1932
Tumblr media
Son of Jude Dubois and Lord Nigel Ashbourne, Duke of Sandrigham, he was mainly raised by Jude, though Caspar was influential into shaping him into a man. He was very much his mother's son and was fearless and ambitious, extremely loyal and cunning, which sorted him into Slytherin, though he was a hatstall between Slytherin and Gryffindor. He never held any sympathy for his biological father, and though he tried to get closure with him, it didn't work out, and ended up loathing the man and being even more adamant that Caspar was his real father and not Lord Nigel. He thus wrote a letter to the Ashbourne's family lawyer, that should Lord Nigel not sire a legitimate son, he renounced his claim, alongside his future descendants, disowning further Nigel. He went on to travel the world and after fighting in the Second World War with the French, he decided to go back to England and finish Caspar's work. He ended up taking his name as second name, thus being called Joseph Dubois–Brokenshire.

A Miraculous Sorting
(I’m writing this under the Christmas tree’s lights, because they take a lot less power than my room’s actual lights, and if I’m going to throw an all-nighter today, I want the electricity bill to be as cheap as possible.)
 You know something I really love? Pulling a Sorting Hat at random times. You’ll see me making a sandwich and rambling to myself as to why Rivaille Ackerman is a Hufflepuff. You’ll see me doing the dishes and quietly wondering why Mabel Pines is a Gryffindor. You’ll see me taking a shower and just arguing with myself about whether Ciel Phantomhive is a Ravenclaw or a Slytherin.
 The fact is: I love Harry Potter with all my soul and I’ll take any opportunity I get to sort random characters into Hogwarts Houses.
 So I thought to myself: hey, why not make a post about it? Mixing my most recent Thing-I-Won’t-Shut-Up-About-For-a-Few-Monthstm (Miraculous Ladybug) and my unexplainable need to analyse characters and put them in Hogwarts? Sounds cool to me. And that’s why you’re reading this. Also, I’m bored.
 Anyway, let’s get to it!
 Warning: be aware of Spoilers! If you haven’t finished Season 3, I’m afraid you’ll find a buzzling nest of spoilers here, so do be careful!
 Warning 2: Sorting is a very sensitive thing and can be interpreted in many ways. This is how I interpret it. Feel free to disagree, I’d love to discuss different opinions!
Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug – Ravenclaw
Tumblr media
 This was an easy one. Despite her clumsiness and social awkwardness – which make her look a lot more air-headed than she actually is –, Marinette is a perfect match for Ravenclaw!
 First of all, we’ve been signed over and over again in the show to how she’s quick-witted, resourceful and strategic, and has got incredible problem-solving skills – even if she’s terrible at managing her time. Practically every episode shows us how quick she is to come up with plans to defeat the villains and how she always makes most of what she has – the Lucky Charm may be the most ridiculous object in the world, she’ll always manage to make a use of it.
 Not only as Ladybug, but also in her normal daily life, Marinette seems to be able to strategize and negotiate very well. Take as a few examples: how she manages to hide with Adrien using various strategies (Gorizilla); how she talks to Roland and convinces him to come visit Tom in his birthday (Bakerix); how she hides and runs away with Kagami and Adrien using various diversions (Heart Hunter/Loveater); how she pulls her – in my opinion – most brilliant and convoluted plan to retrieve Tikki and Plagg and keep her identity hidden (Kwami Buster). I mean, we get distracted by her silly shenanigans every now and again, but this girl has some pretty smart moves!
 She also operates the team work most of the time, directing when and where to use her fellow heroes’ powers. Not to mention she’s the one to choose who gets to have which miraculous, and she mostly seems to get it right – in this house, we do not talk about the stupidity that went down with Aspik, thank you very much.
 Furthermore, Marinette is just plain intelligent. She jammed the Wi-Fi signal using a microwave in Lady WiFi; she engineered her own diary-protection device in Darkblade; she made a home-made projector in The Mime; she neutralizes evil perfume with a chemical explosion in Princess Fragrance; she makes a freaking propeller in Glaciator. She was also mentioned in Ladybug (this name doesn’t get confusing at all) to always get good grades.
 As the series goes, Ladybug gets to become a much wiser person. She seems to learn from most of the problems the akumatized victims go through, as well as from her own mistakes – let aside all the Adrien stuff. Yeah.
 Last but not least, Marinette is exceptionally creative. I don’t think I need to exemplify this, do I? I mean… If you haven’t noticed how artistically inclined she is and how she is constantly praised for her creativity as a designer and as a superhero – again, think of the Lucky Charms –, I doubt we’re watching the same show.
 Not necessarily a Ravenclaw trait, but I’ll add it as a bonus: Marinette handles so many responsibilities at the same time, what a multitasker! She is an independent fashion designer, she does small fashion services – as seen in The Mime, for example –, she is a designer for both Kitty Section and (apparently) Jagged Stone, she babysits Manon and Chris, she helps her parents at the bakery, she studies – again, it’s said that she has good grades, so even if she spends a lot of time saving Paris, she also doesn’t lay off at school –, she makes time to keep her friendships together and she has all her responsibilities as Ladybug, and now as a Guardian. This is all some new level of bullshit a 15 year old human being shouldn’t have to deal with. I’m seriously amazed it took her three full seasons to have a breakdown.
Adrien Agreste/Chat Noir – Hufflepuff
Tumblr media
 Ok, this was a bit more difficult. I was seriously torn between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, but, after some deep thinking, I believe Hufflepuff is where Adrien belongs!
 Firstly, we’ve seen numerous times how inclusive Adrien is. He was, since day one, willing to give everybody a chance at friendship. This Nino boy I literally just met? My best friend. This Ladybug girl who fell from the sky out of nowhere? I’ll trust her with my life. This girl who hates me because of Chloé? I’ll give her my umbrella and she’s just a friend – Goddamnit Adrien. This Kagami girl I just fenced with and who almost killed me? Friend material right there.
 What makes Adrien’s inclusiveness most clear to me, however, is Lila. Despite everything she does, despite all her constant lying, despite her getting people he loves in trouble, he’s still willing to be her friend. We see in episodes like Chameleon, Oni-chan and Ladybug that he’s always willing to give Lila a second chance, to help her out when she needs it, to extend her the hand of friendship and to let her learn with it, because even if he knows she is a jerk, he still wants include her. Is that a bit of a stupid move at this point? Yes, it is. But we appreciate your try, Adrien.
 Another Hufflepuff trait that this boy has is patience. I mean, he lives with Gabriel Agreste, the cold critical father who shows affection – or any presence, really – only once every few months; he lives with Plagg, the demanding, pestering kwami who’s determined to not give two craps about doing his job; he’s childhood friends with Chloé “the arrogant and annoying and other things I can’t say out loud” Bourgeois; he’s trying to keep good terms with Felix, who’s competing for “most despicable brat of the year”; and he’s “friends” with Lila. All of this can only be handled by an enormously patient person.
 Despite that, Adrien is still somewhat just and fair. This can be seen in Despair Bear, as he says he’ll stop being friends with Chloé if she doesn’t start acting nicer. He also claims he won’t be friends with Lila anymore if she doesn’t get Marinette out of the trouble she caused. It’s also important to note episodes like Riposte, where Adrien’s determined to get a rematch with Kagami due to his believe that her loss was not fair.
 The thing that defines Adrien the most and that made me decide for Hufflepuff in the end, however, is his loyalty. Despite everything to ever come his way, he’s extremely loyal.
 Firstly, he’s loyal to Chloé, his childhood friend and, for the longest time, his only friend. We can see in the second part of the Origins episode that he won’t tell on Chloé’s behaviour because he “can’t throw her under the bus”. He instantly goes back to being her friend after the events of Despair Bear and seems to be the only one to get sad for her almost leaving Paris in Malediktator.
 The person Chat’s the most loyal to is undoubtedly Ladybug. We can see it in multiple instances, as he sacrifices himself in order to protect her in several episodes, stays by her side no matter what and, despite his own desire to know who Ladybug is, doesn’t actually actively try to find her identity (Chat Blanc aside) because that’s what she decided. Even if Chat Noir is constantly portrayed as her mere sidekick and gets the least attention of the duo, he doesn’t show jealousy. He trusts her.
 I’ll refrain from making the “Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders” joke.
Alya Césaire/Rena Rouge – Gryffindor
Tumblr media
 Oh dear… I feel like this one almost reached a Hatstall! It was so hard! Her extreme curiosity and fascination with the world around her made me think of her as a Ravenclaw, while her ambition to get the best information for her blog and connection to the Fox Miraculous – the fox being an animal strongly connected to cunningness – seriously made me think about putting her in Slytherin. But again, after deep thinking, I do think Alya fits incredibly well in Gryffindor!
 Let’s start with the fact that Alya is an icon of bravery. She is daring and determined to the point where she is reckless. She is always ready to jump right into action, no matter how dangerous the situation is. If she can either get interesting footage and information or be of any help at all, she will be there, often putting herself in danger in the process. She rarely ever gets intimidated, nonetheless, showing that she has very strong nerve. This can be seen throughout various episodes, ever since Stoneheart and all the way to Feast!
 It’s safe to say that Alya has also got a sense of nobility, in a certain way. As seen in episodes like Stormy Weather, Sapotis, and Timetagger, this girl’s got a way with kids and is always willing to protect them. Rena Rouge also shows willingness to help save Paris no matter what, as seen in Sapotis and Syren, for example.
 I don’t know if this can be considered nobility as well, but I’ll just leave it here that Alya “Wingwoman” Césaire is a very determined best friend and will do about anything to set Marinette with the boy she loves. I can’t even exemplify this, because this happens way too clearly in almost every episode, folks.
 Well… Say what, I’m still confused about this. Alya confuses me. Does anyone have any comment to help me out with this one, please?
Nino Lahiffe/Carapace – Hufflepuff
Tumblr media
 Ok, I won’t lie: part of this decision is because Nino’s just got too much of that bro vibe for me to imagine him anywhere else. But hear me up, I’ll tell you why he is an amazing Hufflepuff!
 First of all, Nino’s absolutely loyal. He’s loyal to Alya; always willing to protect her with his life – that’s how he got his miraculous, after all! –, but they still act as very good partners, friends and couple, and he recognizes she is strong on her own, too. He’s ready to help her out with her “wingmanning” – I’ll exemplify with Puppeteer 2.0 – and with her Ladybug investigations – as seen in Lady WiFi. They even parkour together in Miraculer! (Sorry, I just need more DJ-WiFi in my life)
 He’s also loyal to Adrien. We’ve seen it in several episodes: how he wants to make his friend happy and let him be free from his very strict household – good examples would be The Bubbler and Party Crasher –, showing that he is fair to his friend. It’s also important to mention episodes like Simon Says where, after the akuma attack happens, Nino’s first instinct is be to make sure Adrien is alright.
 Nino’s also shown himself to be quite loyal to Ladybug, as he never faltered to follow her instructions, even after he gets the Turtle Miraculous.
 His friendship with Adrien and Alya overall shows he’s also very inclusive. I mean, Adrien is friends with Chloé, the most hated girl of all school, but Nino just straight up offers to be his new best friend anyway. And although Alya keeps dragging him around to her messes, as soon as they start to talk and notice they have a lot in common, he falls in love with her (Animan).
 Nino is a hard worker as well. He is seen DJ-ing almost every party that showed up so far, and he showed himself as extremely dedicated to his movie project in Horrificator.
 As a generally laid back guy, Nino can be seen as someone very patient. It is quite difficult to tick him off, therefore it’s rare to see him mad or lashing out at someone. One might say he’s too relaxed at times…
Kagami Tsurugi/Ryuko – Slytherin
Tumblr media
 Ok, first of all: I love Kagami. And I love Slytherin. So if anyone wants to shit on any of them, you’ll have to go through me first! Wands ready, buddy, I’m a duellist and I’m ready to fight!
 Kagami was another difficult one, but mostly because we rarely get to see anything from her personality, given how stoic and reserved she is at the beginning – besides, she’s a newer side character, so obviously she didn’t get to have that much screen time yet. But with what little we’re given, I’ve managed to figure she’d do nicely in Slytherin!
 Let’s start pointing out how ambitious Kagami is: during her first appearance in Riposte, she is determined to get to enter the most prestigious fencing school in Paris, and doesn’t even falter upon the challenge of defeating their most talented student; while episodes like Oni-chan show that she’s ambitious to get Adrien (and finish Lila, but that’s all of us). Her acts as Ryuko also goes to show this, as she’s clearly not willing to back down and is always willing to fight and win.
 However, she is not unfair, as seen again in Riposte, as she accepts her loss to Adrien was fair – it wasn’t, really –, even if it meant not getting what she wanted.
 Although Kagami doesn’t seem to be entirely selfish, she’s one to look after herself (the two are easily mistaken, hence this is seen as a Slytherin “bad trait”). We see it in Desperada, when she ditches fencing class to be able go out with Adrien; in Ikari Gozen, when she disobeys her mother in order to finally make friends; in Loveater, when she comments she doesn’t want to hurt Marinette, but would not give up on Adrien either.
 Ikari Gozen also shows that Kagami is level-headed, a natural leader, and rather cunning, given not only her strategies to deceive her mother in order to play the friendship game, but also her behaviour during the game and as Ryuko. This episode, along with Riposte and Frozer, for example, demonstrates that she strives to be the best at what she does.
 We see it in Animaetro how she doesn’t let herself be intimidated.
Kagami is decided, as seen in Frozer, Desperada and Loveater. She doesn’t hesitate.
Luka Couffaine/Viperion – Hufflepuff
Tumblr media
 Oh, you thought I was going to finish this without sorting my snake boy?
 Easy one. Very easy. Once you put aside the thought of Snake = Slytherin and Blue = Ravenclaw, it gets quite visible how Luka is the perfect Hufflepuff!
 First of: he’s an extremely just person. One of the main themes of the episode Silencer is how he demands justice for his band and friends.
 Luka has also shown himself to be immeasurably selfless. This is seen in basically all of the episodes he has an appearance on, but I’ll name Captain Hardrock (he gives his  guitar pick to Marinette upon seeing that she likes it + stays behind to help her escape The Liberty), Desperada (he puts himself in harm’s way to help Ladybug and Adrien escape + he lets Adrien borrow his guitar without a flinch), Felix (literally everything he says in this episode), Miracle Queen (he sacrifices himself to the evil wasps) and Loveater (the scene where he drops his bicycle and his beloved guitar to comfort Marinette is some symbolic selfless beautiful shit and I’m about to cry).
 In the same theme, he is notably kind. He’s never a hostile person – safe for Silencer, but that was a special occasion – and always seems to greet everyone with a smile and – when he finds them – kind words. I’ll exemplify using Adrien: despite knowing pretty well that Marinette is in love with the model boy, Luka was never once bitter towards him, treats him like any other friend (watch Desperada, Frozer and even Chat Blanc. Watch closely) and even states that he’ll be happy for them if they end up together (Felix).
 I’ll also mention how supportive of a brother he is (Reflekdoll is our main example, though I need more Couffaine Siblings’ interaction, please) and how he gives Marinette a bicycle ride to the Grand Paris Hotel (Loveater) to help her; he didn’t need to do that at all.
 We can see that what he wants the most is for Marinette to be happy, even if it’s not with him. He’s there to support the people he loves no matter what and respects their wants and needs. Take some notes, Chat Noir (ok, kidding. I love you, Chat. But do take notes).
 Luka is the definition of patience. I mean… Let’s talk about Desperada, where, right after he confessed his heart to Marinette, she just ignores him and straight out treats him like trash to favour Adrien (I’m not blaming Mari, tho; I know she’s a confused little bean and didn’t mean any harm). What does he do? He shrugs it off with a smile and keeps his cool unfaltering. Furthermore, he never seems to expect anything from Marinette after that declaration.
 Plus, when he’s chosen to receive the Snake Miraculous, one of the things he does best is to watch patiently for the opponent’s moves to know the best strategy to take.
 Plus plus, he lives in a houseboat with Juleka, the Anxious Horror Loving Sister, and Anarka, the Chaotic Havoc Mum. I love the Couffaines, but living in The Liberty must be a nightmare sometimes.
 Another point to take in consideration would be how Luka is a hard-worker. Despite him being pretty chill and laid-back, we often see Luka composing and/or practicing for Kitty Section. Not only that, but we also see in Loveater he has a job as a delivery boy through Paris. On a bicycle.
 To wrap this up, I’ll say that Luka is pretty empathic. Just take his whole “reading people and translating them/their feelings into a song” thing we see in Captain Hardrock, Frozer and Loveater. I rest my case.

 Phew, we’re done!
You headcanon these in different houses? I’d love to discuss it!

What Hogwarts houses do you think mlb characters would be sorted in? (Don't know about rest of them but for me Mari is 100% Slytherin)
I had too much fun with this tbh. Sorry for formatting because I'm on mobile!
Marinette: Honestly, she'd be a Hatstall but end up in Slytherin. She has Slytherin's ambitious nature, the intelligence and creativity of a Ravenclaw, Gryffindor's sense of justice and protecting the little guy, and of course the hardworking and loyal Hufflepuff Nature. However, her determination is what lands her in Slytherin, because she doesn't give up. Once she has an idea, she'll create these complicated plans to put them into action.
Adrien: My boy's a Hufflepuff. There's no argument.
Alya: Gryffindor. While she has traits of the other Houses, her sense of justice is strong. It's one of the things that get her in trouble a lot in salt fics tbh.
Nino: another Hufflepuff. I debated on him being a Gryffindor, because he also has a decent sense of Justice. But ultimately, he's more on the 'loyal and hardworking' train.
Chloé: this depends on if it's Canon!Chloé or the way I write her. Because Canon!Chloé would get the 'All Slytherins Are Evil' treatment. So we're going with the way I write Chloé. Which would be another Hatstall. Because tbh? Deep down, once she has a proper redemption arc and unlearned everything her mother taught her, she does have those traits of other Houses. It's something I've proven by writing her so many times. But I'm gonna place her in Hufflepuff because that's the House that will allow her to grow the best. Though pre-redemption Chloé would probably complain about it and insist the Sorting Hat was wrong.
Sabrina: Ravenclaw. I thought about Hufflepuff because of her loyalty, but the her loyalty is currently a toxic codependency so I don't want to call that a good trait, you know?
Rose: Another for the Hufflepuff Squad. Did you expect anything else?
Juleka: hmm. This is a tricky one but I'm going with Ravenclaw if only for the Aesthetic.
Mylene: Gryffindor!! So I have a habit of doing the "easily frightened character gets put in Gryffindor" thing because of that whole thing about how as scared as they usually are, they become brave when others are in danger. And Mylene is no exception to that! It's basically exactly how I'm writing her in Lady Luck.
Ivan: Let's toss him in Hufflepuff! Yeah this giant grumpy guy is a Hufflepuff because he might look mean but he is soft!
Max: Ravenclaw. No contest. Being smart is his thing.
Kim: Gryffindor. That's kind of easy tbh.
Alix: I almost want to put her in Slytherin for the Aesthetic because of her outfit. Remind me why she got the Rabbit and not the Snake? But tbh she's not very 'ambitious', as far as we know. But I'm going to put her in Ravenclaw because tbh? Anyone who deals with Time Travel and keeping Timelines straight and all that has to be smart af.
Kagami: She could easily be a Slytherin with her 'I don't hesitate' attitude. However, I'm placing her in Gryffindor because of where she does hesitate. Kagami hesitates when she knows her actions will hurt someone innocent, like how perusing Adrien will hurt Marinette.
Luka: can I put him in Slytherin because Snake? Aesthetic aside, I actually think Gryffindor. He's not as loud and confrontational as most Gryffindors, but as proven in his Akumatization episode, others being wronged is a trigger to his rage.
Lila: Now. It would be easy to put her in Slytherin. Because 1.) she's ambitious and 2.) 'Slytherins are Evil'. However, I think she'd be in Ravenclaw for a few reasons. Firstly, because she is smart, being able to manipulate people. Secondly, it's a trait she values most to herself. And thirdly, given that whole 'Slytherins are Evil' mindset and how much she tries o paint herself as innocent, she'd want to not be in the Evil House. (It could also help her turn people against Marinette, since Mari is a Slytherin)

I could see an argument for Marinette in any Hogwarts house. Obviously she’s incredibly brave, and stands up for what’s right despite her fear. She’s got that Ravenclaw intelligence, demonstrated every time she uses the Lucky Charm, and in all of her creativity. She’s ambitious like a Slytherin, she has goals and she works hard to achieve them. Speaking of which, working hard is a Hufflepuff trait, along with the kindness and loyalty she shows to everyone around her by always doing what she can to help, and, more recently, her patience with Chloé. I really wouldn’t say she fits any house more than any other. I think she’d be a hatstall and it would come down to what she wants... and I really couldn’t guess at that.
Adrien’s easily a Hufflepuff though. He works hard to get what he wants, he’s crazy patient with Chloé, he’s fiercely loyal to all those he loves. He’s got a streak of Slytherin cunning, but I think that’s using Slytherin means to achieve Hufflepuff ends.
