Essay: Well obviously I am the head of house for the Hipster House. Hipster House knew about Hogwarts before it even existed. That's how hip we are. We also wear sunglasses at night because terrifying creature don't mess with those in shades. We would graduate before we were even accepted and scoff at the other students Butterbeer while we sip our PBR and wear ironic Wizard T-shirts. We also all wear glasses, whether we need them or not. Basically we are the coolest house because we either love everything or hate everything, we adore nostalgia and we spend most of our time reading classic muggle literature and pretending we understand all of it.

Essay:
Let me present to you the Most Trippy House of Daydreams. My House would bring forth the most excellent seers of all time. Requirements are fantastic imagination as well as the capability to dream vididly. With more skilled seers, one could avoid a future Dark Lord, for example.
The crest represents the state of mind of its House members, and one’s trip to the imaginative worlds one visits in dreams. Now, everybody can dream, but the House members must be able to do this while awake, not just when asleep.
It would not replace any other House. It would simply add to those already there, so they would form a pentagram, which is very powerful.
Slytherin represents water, Gryffindor fire, Ravenclaw air, Hufflepuff earth, and my House would represent a fifth element. The element of dreams.

Essay: My house would be called Greendale. It wouldn't replace any of the original houses because it would be too underachieving to ever displace any of those prestigious houses. It would be for underachievers, high school drop outs, people who faked a degree, old people who wish to go back to school, teenage drug addicts/mental patients, etc. Basically just a bunch of misfits, not limited to the normal Hogwarts age of 11-17, it gives people who slacked off the first time around a second chance :') It would play kind of a serious impact on Hogwarts history because who knowssss what kind of shenanigans these older folks could get up to if they aren't held back by wanting to keep their jobs like the professors.

Essay: The House is called Rabblefluffin. It's a House that came about by a group of students that broke off from their initial 4 houses, either because they were alienated within their groups or because they felt the Sorting Hat was more fallible than they were led to believe. Rabblefluffin didn't actually replace any of the 4 founders' houses (the act of which probably would've started a war within Hogwarts if not the Wizarding World at large, which was composed of alumna of the houses). Instead, it became a fifth house for the cat, cupcake and bacon lovers -- a house that encouraged being graceful and ferocious, sweet and affectionate, and crisp and salty.

Essay: FFeast your eyes upon Rainbow House, the beauty that comes from unity. This house would not replace any of the actual founding houses but instead merge them all into one, promoting equality and union between all Hogwarts students! Students could belong both to one of the four Hogwarts houses AND to this united house if they’re so inclined. Key traits include a want for harmony, partying, ~imagination~, friendliness, and passiveness (since fights are kinda lame)! It would be a very positive influence on Hogwarts’ history because while competition is fun and house pride is way cool, animosity isn’t, and this would allow students to make friends from all corners of the castle. :3
