Hufflepuff-it was the House of nonities, nobody famous ever came out of it, even the Head of the House taught an useless subject. So how had a Hufflepuff been chosen as the Hogwarts Champion?
Sure, he was strong and smart, but he was a Hufflepuff-in other words, a nobody. Hufflepuffs were the least of the Houses in the school. They hadn't won the House Cup in...who knew how long? And now they were set to beat the rest of the Houses and win the House Cup.
Harry Potter was also in the Tournament and he had done some pretty amazing stuff, but he was still only 14 years old-he surely couldn't beat a 17 year old even if that 17 year old was a Hufflepuff.
So, Hufflepuff was going to win the House Cup and maybe even become a House that people respected. There were already Ravenclaws dating Hufflepuffs, though Ravenclaw was pretty much a nonity also. Even Slytherins were whispering about Hufflepuff and their Champion in the corners of the dungeons.
Hufflepuff, the House of nobodies was going to become the House that everybody admired. And so, Zacharias Smith reflected, it was a good time to be a Hufflepuff.
