Xavier Finch From Uncovering Lily Gets Sorted

Xavier Finch from Uncovering Lily and the Gryffindor Hogwarts crest.

In Uncovering Lily, our hero Xavier Finch tells the heroine Lily that he is a fan of Harry Potter and claims to have been sorted into Gryffindor.

I’m struck suddenly by how oddly date-like our dinner has become, and even more confused by this man’s odd behavior. Ever since we sat down to eat, it seems like he wants to get to know me. Almost like he wants to be friends. I highly doubt that this man lacks friends. So why does he care whether or not I’m a fan of Harry Potter? Incidentally, I am, having grown up reading the books and seeing the films. He claims to have taken an online quiz that sorted him into Gryffindor, but I’m not sure I believe him. He’s clearly a Slytherin. ~ Uncovering Lily (Chapter Eight)

I hacked into his web browser history, with the help of his sister, and found the answers he gave to the Sorting Hat quiz. He wasn't lying, he was sorted into Gryffindor!

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.

  • Lie and say you don’t know (but hope that somebody else tells Professor Flitwick the truth).
  • 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).
  • 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.
