" [color=00a99d]Well there is more to the job I suppose, but some of it is stuff we can't exactly tell others. As for house placement; since I forgot to mention it earlier, it can vary depending on the person. Some people have families who have had one member after the next put into the same house; like the Weasley's, and then there are those who have had members in all four houses. I don't believe it's genetically based, and the hat reads the kind of person you are, then puts you in the house it thinks will be most beneficial to your growth.[/color] " 

Scratching Joseph under the chin since he was getting fussy, he continued and smiled at the two young students. 

" [color=00a99d]So, just because one of your parents was in a specific house does not necessarily mean you will end up in the same one. I have one friend in my house whose mother was a Ravenclaw and his father a Slytherin. Talk to the hat and see what it tells you. It never hurts to ask the questions that might be bothering you.[/color] "

Turning his attention to Brand and letting Joseph go off to investigate Gizmo, a frown formed on his lips. 

" [color=00a99d]Just because you don't think a specific house is all that important of exciting, doesn't mean that it isn't. Cedric Diggory was in hufflepuff, as were many other brave people who helped Harry Potter all those years ago. Despite what you might be told, one house is not better than the rest, and just because a house has a stereotype, does not mean that members of that house live up to that stereotype or believe that it's true.[/color] " 

Joseph sniffed Gizmo and batted at him a little before settling down to lick him so he could get him clean.
