Why I'm Proud To Be A Hufflepuff

The Noble House of the Badger

Why I'm Proud To Be A Hufflepuff

Hufflepuff is definitely the least loved Hogwarts house. Let’s be honest, Hufflepuffs have the worst merchandise, if we find any. I mean, a frickin’ badger? That’s why we’re the spares. I mean, if you’re a Gryffindor, you’re basically awesome. If you’re a Ravenclaw, you’re clever and will probably be successful. If you’re a Slytherin, you’re cunning and ambitious. But if you’re a Hufflepuff, you’re just nice. No one cares about being nice. Nice people are the ones that the cunning, clever, and brave use as footstools, right?

But Hufflepuffs have been getting more love lately because the newest Harry Potter movie, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them stars Hufflepuff, Eddie Redmayne who plays Hufflepuff, Newt Scamander. So in honor of this movie and the noble house of the badger, here are five reasons I am proud to be a Hufflepuff.

Loyalty

Hufflepuffs are renowned for their loyalty. We will stick by you no matter what. It doesn’t matter if you are having a bad day.It doesn’t matter if you aren’t loyal to us in return. It doesn’t matter what happens or what you do because if we know that you need us, we will be there for you. No questions asked.

Morality

Hufflepuffs will do the right thing because it’s right. We have a strong sense of morality and we will stick to it not because it benefits us, not because it will bring us glory, not because it’s smart, but because we know what’s right. JK Rowling said that in the Battle of Hogwarts most of the students that stayed were Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. The Gryffindors stayed for the glory and excitement of battle. The Hufflepuffs stayed because it was the right thing to do.

Kindness

Hufflepuffs are the great humanitarians. We are doers not because we are ambitious but because we are caring. We find something that is broken and we have a desire to fix it. And because we are so loyal and have such a strong moral code, we will not stop until we have done our part. Once we find something we believe in, we will pursue and protect that thing with all our hearts. And even if we don’t have a cause, we will make an effort to be kind and loving to everyone we meet because that is one of our core values. So yeah, Hufflepuffs are the nice guys. But our kindness is what drives us every single day.

Fierce Friends

Dumbledore said it himself. Hufflepuffs are fierce, fierce friends. And we are fierce friends because of everything that the other houses don’t value, like loyalty, morality, and kindness. If you want a friend who will be there for you no matter what, who will treat you well, who will love you selflessly, befriend a Hufflepuff. We’re the best.

Great Finders

Hufflepuffs are great finders. Think about it, Newt Scamander is a Hufflepuff and he finds fantastic beasts. The evidence is there.

So Hufflepuffs are basically awesome. We are everything the other houses do not value and we are stronger for that. We are loyal even when we know it’s stupid. We are loving even when it hurts or disadvantages us. And we will do the right thing because it’s the right thing, even if we are afraid. So show some love to Hufflepuffs. And go see Fantastic Beasts and watch Newt Scamander be a hero without relying on bravery, cunningness, or cleverness. Maybe nice people don’t rule the world. But we certainly keep it from falling apart.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
