Sorting Hat time! Everybody's favorite! My favorite!
(Check out other installments here.)
Grey's Anatomy returned yesterday and the only way to celebrate is to sort the characters into Hogwarts Houses.
Gryffindor: bravery, nerve, daring, and chivalry
Slytherin: ambition, cunning, and resourcefulness (evil optional)
Ravenclaw: intelligence, knowledge, and wit
Hufflepuff: hard work, dedication, patience, and loyalty
1. Meredith Grey
 |
| Me too, Mer, me too. |
Meredith is kind of hard to sort! Over the years she's displayed traits of all of the houses. She's definitely been cunning and manipulative (usually to advance at work and sneakily get good cases - something most of them did as interns and residents). She shows hard work and loyalty more than many of her colleagues. She's very smart, and she's obviously very brave.
I think I'll narrow it down to Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. It's got to be one of those.
Since Meredith grew up with abandonment issues, she's very loyal. (I think that usually happens in real life with people who grew up in a negative situation - they continue it or they become a 180 of it. Meredith develops into the latter.) She and Cristina are inseparable. She is always there for everyone, even if it means breaking rules (like, um, giving Adele meds instead of the placebo). She gave part of her liver to her father, mostly out of love for her sister. She's fiercely loyal.
But she's also brave. "Nerve" is something Meredith Grey does not lack. I mean, she grabs a bomb while it's in someone's body cavity ffs.
She definitely displays traits of Hufflepuff, but I think her fondness for breaking the rules and her sometimes reckless bravery put Meredith in Gryffindor.
2. Cristina Yang
Slytherin.
I love Cristina, but there is no denying that she's a bit manipulative when it comes to her career. And she's hella ambitious. She definitely goes to Slytherin. It's okay! There are good people in Slytherin. She can be Professor Slughorn's pal.
Ah, I wish she'd come back to the show.
3. Dr. Bailey
I love Cristina, but there is no denying that she's a bit manipulative when it comes to her career. And she's hella ambitious. She definitely goes to Slytherin. It's okay! There are good people in Slytherin. She can be Professor Slughorn's pal.
Ah, I wish she'd come back to the show.
3. Dr. Bailey
Dr. Bailey is my favorite, pretty sure. I <3 her.
Of course, that makes me want to put her in Gryffindor.
BUT. We've got to be fairrr. She's brave, sure, and ambitious, and smart. But more than anything she is loyal and hardworking. She rivals Richard as the backbone of the whole hospital. No one doubts her reliability. Sometimes she's scary (she was nicknamed "The Nazi"), but even when she's goin' a little crazy, it's out of a desire to help her residents and colleagues do better. Or to keep her patients alive (and she's cried with/over patients many times, a nod to her devotion).
From all that, I think it's clear that Bailey goes to Hufflepuff.
4. Derek
Sore spot, I know. I know! But it feels wrong not to include him here.
I don't really know where to put him. He's brave (I mean, he disregarded his own safety to save people from that accident.), he's smart. He'd do fine in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw....
but I think he goes to Hufflepuff.
Dude is the definition of loyalty. You know, after he cheats on his wife. No, but really, while that wasn't justified, it had a complicated backstory. But yeah. He doles out hugs and advice to people who need it, he's incredibly friendly and charming, and he really just wanted to build a good life with good people. In the last episode of the latest season, Meredith says Derek wanted his home filled with people and memories more than anything else. That seems Hufflepuff-like to me. He was a hard worker, he was devoted, and he loved fairness (remember how pissed he was when Meredith messed around with the trial to benefit Adele?). I think he'd place people above everything - daring acts, smarts, and his career. Def Hufflepuff.
5. Richard Webber

5. Richard Webber
Ah, Webber. Everybody's dad.
This is another tough one. Of the three houses that aren't Slytherin, I guess I'd eliminate Gryffindor first? Yeah, let's go with that.
So it's down to Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw.
Richard is devoted to the hospital and to everyone who works in it. He's the guy everyone else goes to, and he's always working hard to help everyone else and get his own work done. That makes me lean toward Hufflepuff but...
Maybe those are traits that have come with age and wisdom, which is great, but does that mean he should go straight into Hufflepuff? I don't know. It's hard! (And while he repented, he did cheat on his wife - not very fair or loyal at all.)
I get the feeling that he actually belongs in Ravenclaw. It's not like dedication and loyalty are found only in Hufflepuff. Webber loves spending time on research, he helped Ellis look for treatments for HIV/AIDS, he's always doling out wisdom to everyone, and he seems to be incredibly open-minded. He's got a worldly, intelligent thing about him.
Yep, Ravenclaw.
Next time... Karev, George, Izzie, Callie, and Mark.
