So true. I’ve been called homophobic and other disgusting things for pushing back after being harassed for shipping f/m ships… despite also shipping same-sex ships. Like holy shit just let people ship what they wanna ship, gay or straight or bi or pan or WHATEVER. It’s not that hard to do. I personally really don’t care for pharmercy or meihem for example, but I don’t fucking harass the people who enjoy them

  4. The small pewter box, unassuming and plain, with a scratched message upon it that reads ‘I open only for the worthy.’

  • Notes: Sheet music.

One of your house mates has cheated in a Hogwarts exam by using a Self-Spelling Quill. Now he has come top of the class in Charms, beating you into second place. Professor Flitwick is suspicious of what happened. He draws you to one side after his lesson and asks you whether or not your classmate used a forbidden quill. What do you do?

  1. Lie and say you don’t know (but hope that somebody else tells Professor Flitwick the truth).
  2. Tell Professor Flitwick that he ought to ask your classmate (and resolve to tell your classmate that if he doesn’t tell the truth, you will).
  3. Tell Professor Flitwick the truth. If your classmate is prepared to win by cheating, he deserves to be found out. Also, as you are both in the same house, any points he loses will be regained by you, for coming first in his place.
  4. You would not wait to be asked to tell Professor Flitwick the truth. If you knew that somebody was using a forbidden quill, you would tell the teacher before the exam started.
  • Notes: I was kind of stuck between this answer and the “tattletale” answer. The reason I went with the answer I did is because it’s a much more under-the-table way to both tell Professor Flitwick the truth and threaten the student who cheated. Not to mention that this way, Ernesto’s reputation would be unchanged in the eyes of everyone except the one student who cheated. And reputation is one of Ernesto’s highest priorities.

You and two friends need to cross a bridge guarded by a river troll who insists on fighting one of you before he will let all of you pass. Do you:

  1. Attempt to confuse the troll into letting all three of you pass without fighting?
  2. Suggest drawing lots to decide which of you will fight?
  3. Suggest that all three of you should fight (without telling the troll)?
  4. Volunteer to fight?
  • Notes: I kind of debated between this option and the drawing lots option, but I went with the volunteer to fight option because Ernesto is very much one to take matters into his own hands. This is evident when he rescued Miguel from the pool, when he took Héctor’s photo back from Imelda himself after the security guards failed to do it, and when he poisoned Héctor.

Which road tempts you most?

  1. The wide, sunny, grassy lane
  2. The narrow, dark, lantern-lit alley
  3. The twisting, leaf-strewn path through the woods
  4. The cobbled street lined with ancient buildings
  • Notes: I went with this option instead of the woods because once Ernesto reaches the top, he’ll do anything to stay in that familiar circle. It’s become familiar to him, a kind of security.

Which nightmare would frighten you most?

  1. Standing on top of something very high and realizing suddenly that there are no hand- or footholds, nor any barrier to stop you falling
  2. An eye at the keyhole of the dark, windowless room in which you are locked
  3. Waking up to find that neither your friends nor your family have any idea who you are.
  4. Being forced to speak in such a silly voice that hardly anyone can understand you, and everyone laughs at you
  • Notes: I don’t think anything would be scarier for Ernesto than for the public to forget all about him.

Late at night, walking alone down the street, you hear a peculiar cry that you believe to have a magical source. Do you:

  1. Proceed with caution, keeping one hand on your concealed wand and an eye out for any disturbance?
  2. Draw your wand and try to discover the source of the noise?
  3. Draw your wand and stand your ground?
  4. Withdraw into the shadows to await developments, while mentally reviewing the most appropriate defensive and offensive spells, should trouble occur?

A Muggle confronts you and says they are sure you are a witch or wizard. Do you:

  1. Ask what makes them think so
  2. Agree, and ask whether they’d like a free sample of a jinx
  3. Agree, and walk away, leaving them to wonder whether you are bluffing
  4. Tell them that you are worried about their mental health, and offer to call a doctor

RESULTS: GRYFFINDOR!

Gryffindor (72%)
Ravenclaw (64%)
Hufflepuff (54%)
Slytherin (50%)

IMPORTANT: 

I really don’t agree with this sorting, since I believe Ernesto has extreme potential to be in either Slytherin or Gryffindor. He has tons of traits from both houses. He’s ambitious, cunning, and self-preservative (Slytherin), but he’s also daring, hungry for fame, and he prefers to deal with a situation directly (Gryffindor). Honestly he’d probably be close to a hatstall, but these quiz results don’t reflect that. But then, the Pottermore quiz is known to be biased against Slytherin, so Ernesto very well could be a Slytherin without having answered Slytherin weighted questions on the quiz. Thus, I’m going to do a further in-depth study for which house Ernesto should be in. As soon as I decide on a house, his character outline will be updated.

Okay, but… Imector Hogwarts AU

More details on each character to come!! For now though have some random headcanons ^ _ ^

  • Age gaps are the same as they are in canon. In case you are unaware of the canon age gaps:
    • Ernesto is 4 years older than Héctor
    • Imelda is a year older than Héctor
  • When Ernesto went to Hogwarts for his first through fourth years,

    Héctor would spend the entire year writing to him and telling him how boring it was without him around

    • Eventually

      Héctor sent so many letters that Ernesto sent him a howler to yell at him for sending so many letters

  • After what feels like forever, Héctor finally gets his Hogwarts letter on his eleventh birthday. He starts his first year when Ernesto starts his fifth year.
    • Ernesto spends most of that fifth year complaining to

      Héctor about O.W.L.s.

  • Imelda is a second year when

    Héctor starts his first year

  • The first time

    Héctor sees Imelda, he instantly falls head over heels in love with her

  • He tries to hide his crush, but it’s extremely obvious
    • Every time he tries to talk to Imelda he blushes furiously and his eyes dart everywhere but her
  • Imelda thinks he’s a bumbling idiot and blows him off every time he tries to talk to her
  • Ernesto makes fun of

    Héctor‘s obvious crush all the time. Héctor jinxes Ernesto every time he teases him.

    • (The jinxes are always something harmless, but Ernesto always acts all affronted by them anyways.)
