Violet nodded and replied,
"Thank you," before she stepped aside to move on down the line. She wasn't so pleased with her opening question, though--that answer could almost fit any founder.

But as she was about to move on, she heard the portraits erupt with laughter at Milo's cheeky gambit, and she could swear that Portrait D had a deep voice. So that meant her first guess, Helga Hufflepuff, wasn't correct--it must either be Slytherin or Gryffindor. Violet was inclined to think it the latter.
Moving on to Portrait C, her next question was:
"If you were in a situation which was boring and didn't utilize your abilities, but which offered security, would you stay there or would you leave?"
