#in the end these are my personal fairly un-hp-educated views though

hey there, i was wondering if you've ever given thought to the hogwarts houses of some of the death note characters? I see a lot of concepts with L as a ravenclaw, but its occurred to me that a lot of his behaviour is more slytherin-y. I feel like a lot of the characters are slytherins haha~

L is Slytherin, I agree 100%. I haven’t even read all of HP, but this is still one of my firmest L opinions, haha. People saying he’s Ravenclaw make me suspicious :/ ….okay, no, I’m exaggerating.

But I think L is just way more motivated by personal gain than knowledge, and he does have his way to manipulate the set systems in his favour, so for me he’s a very very clear-cut Slytherin there.

I made a post about Hogwarts house headcanons a while back, but please ignore the paragraph about Mikami, I am still entirely unsure what to make of him. I have considered all houses like a million times. Currently I can exclude Hufflepuff, but out of the other three? I don’t know. I just don’t know.

Which puts me at….

Gryffindor: Light, Sayu, Soichiro, Takada, Matsuda, AizawaRavenclaw: Near, Naomi, Watari, Wedy, Kida, B, IdeHufflepuff: Rester, Gevanni, Matt, Mogi, Raye, ShimuraSlytherin: L, Misa, Mello, Lidner, Aiber, Namikawa, Higuchi

… and everyone else, I am not sure about. I also italicized people I am uncertain about and whom I could still see in other houses. Like Takada could also be Ravenclaw, in my opinion.

I really do enjoy the subversion of house and morals that a DN Hogwarts AU can offer. Light being Gryffindor is something I am also very certain of and I enjoy that his Gryff personality can still birth Kira, because the way you really use your attributes is what matters.
