Well, Hermione isn't actually in Gryffindor, in Harry Potter and the
Methods of Rationality.

However, as of Chapter 72, the most reviewed Harry Potter fanfiction
on the Internet (also as of Ch. 72) does now contain Sailor
Gryffindor.

And she has a henshin scene.

And her challenge to the enemy begins, "In the name of Hogwarts -"

And it is all quite entirely your fault.

Then I suppose I must actually read all of it, as this was my condition
for doing so!

True. Chapter 9: "And talk about your foregone conclusions. Harry didn't really
see why Hermione had been so tense about it. In what weird alternative universe
would that girl not be Sorted into Ravenclaw? If Hermione Granger didn't go to
Ravenclaw then there was no good reason for Ravenclaw House to exist."

(Of course, that's before he's devoted some thought to, and had some
discussions about, the various Houses and their sortees.)

Please let us know how you like the later chapters.

(Make sure you have meds at hand for inadvertent over-laughing and/or breath
issues. Much like James, we do NOT want this to kill you.)

I'm also guessing that Sailor Gryffindor would therefore have to be
either Luna Lovegood (since she's strange enough to do it) or Ginny.
Though as both are native to the Wizarding World they won't have seen
Sailor Moon and that would then imply there actually ARE Sailor Senshi
for the Houses. Hopefully Bulstrode isn't Sailor Slytherin. Maybe
Malfoy, he'd look SMASHING in a sera-fuku!

There have been possibly three things in my life that managed to reduce
me to difficulty-breathing levels of laughter. Most things that make
people laugh out loud make me either smile slightly, or wonder what's
WRONG with them. But I will let you know what transpires.
