Takes place during Book 3.

I, Jessica Henderson,am a Hufflepuff. A proud member of the least respected house in the school. Hufflepuff 's are the underdogs. Aren't people supposed to love the underdog? Apparently ,that doesn't apply at Hogwarts.

When I first got sorted into Hufflepuff, I'll admit, I was disappointed. I hadn't really even thought about the possibility of being sorted into Hufflepuff.I had been hoping for Ravenclaw, with my second choice being Gryffindor. I had been dreading possibly gettinng sorted into Slytherin, but when I first heard the Sorting Hat scream "Hufflepuff!" atop my head, truth be told, I would have traded for Slytherin in a moment. Slytherin 's are at least respected more and play a bigger part in people's thought's on Hogwarts.

Now, three years later, I have come to see Hufflepuff for what it truly is, and I like it.

Hufflepuff's aren't what we're stereotyped as. We're not a group of bumbling idiots. Believe it or not,being sorted into Hufflepuff is not the worst think that can happen. In fact, it is one of the best things that ever happened to me .Sure,we're under appreciated, but that doesnt' mean there's nothing to appreciate My friends are almost all in Hufflepuff,and I personally think they're cool, so the whole "Hufflepuff is full of loser's"theory proved to be wrong,In addition, I'm the star chaser on the Quidditch team. The team is doing pretty good this year, so far we've beaen Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Hopefully we'll win the cup. Maybe then people will realize that we're not a bunch of duffers.

It's true that we are hard-working ,kind, and loyal, but seriously, since when are those considered bad things?

Sometimes hard work will get you just as far, if not farther. than intelligence,bravery, and ambition.

In addition, we are not the boring and bland people you like to think we are. We have just as much scandal,action,and drama as the rest of the school. We're just better at hiding it.

Don't believe me? Stay tuned if you want proof.

Maybe you're come to see that Hufflepuff is a way different place then you ever imagined. Maybe you're realize that we have a wide variety of people form the couragous Cedric Diggery, to the atlethic Jason Dalton, to the self proclaimed "emo" Anna Chambers, to the slut Kendra Gregory, to the normal Jessica Henderson A.K.A me.

It's time Hufflepuff stepped out of the shadows.

I think its about time for some Hufflepuff confessions.
