Why I'm A Hufflepuff

by Esaki Nalex

Everyone wants to be a Gryffindor or a Ravenclaw or perhaps even a Slytherin...but not a Hufflepuff. It's considered the house of duffers...but it's the perfect disguise.Underestimated. Overlooked. Underdog. Well...why not use that to the advantage? After all, who's gonna notice a silly little Hufflepuff?

AN: This is a fictional female Hogwarts student writing an essay on why she prefers being a Hufflepuff. The time frame can be at any time before the books, during the books, or after the books.

WHY I WANTED TO BE A HUFFLEPUFF

(even though I could've been something else)

A Hufflepuff is loyal enough to walk through the fire for someone when they need to.

A Hufflepuff is hard-working enough to learn what they have to…

and apply it to real life situations.

OoOoOoOoOoO

I could've been a Gryffindor; I'm a middle child between 4 boys-the only girl in a house of adolescent males- I think I've earned it.

I could've been a Ravenclaw; I have an IQ of 120 and I love to read and learn… everything.

I could've been a Slytherin; how do you think I survived 11 years in that testosterone filled house? And my plan to take over the world is moving at a steady pace; I've got an army of loyal alumni and who's gonna suspect the Hufflepuff?

And that's why I'm a Hufflepuff, even though I could've been something else.

AN2: I've always made the distinction that cunning means you can apply the knowledge you have to a situation. That's the definition that I'm using here.

AN3: The Sorting Hat put me in Hufflepuff, and at first I was a bit disappointed. Then I realized how awesome being a Hufflepuff could be. Come on; who wouldn't want to have a Common Room near the kitchens, and have lots of people they could trust to have their back? WOOT WOOT! HUFFLEPUFF PRIDE PEOPLE!
