This is a Hufflepuff and Harry Potter related blog. Hope you all have fun and a have a great day! Go Badgers!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
We Hufflepuffs often work with animals similarly to the famed Newt Scamander. The difference with the average Hufflepuff and him? We can’t get any work done because we won’t stop petting the puppies and adopting every pygmy puff we see. Maybe Puffology or Puppology will be a class? That’s a study right?
OWLs
During owls there are two types of students.
Hufflepuff
A Hufflepuff will be a surprise Outstanding because they take it slow and easy. Ravenclaws may be seen constantly around these quiet intellectuals. They are the more Introverted puffs.
The next is the Hufflepuff who gives their all but fails to hit the mark. They do not cry or panic but they do indeed try harder next time.
Gryffindor
A Gryffindor during OWLS will become a Hermione Granger overnight and dazzle their professors. But they may also boast about their scores. They make the Ravenclaws nervous.
The second type of Gryffindor wings it and succeeds. I did not say they received a great mark however.
Ravenclaw
Now to the Ravenclaws. Can you tell I’m biased as one? We are also of two types during OWLS. Some of us will study hard but to tea and music that is soothing. Expect the Ravenclaw Common Room to sound like a symphony hall. We generally have high marks.
The second type of Ravenclaw has a lot in common with a Slytherin. This Ravenclaw never worries nor studies but always knows the answers and passes. Seen as a know-it-all but in truth is a bit of a class clown. Gryffindors love this student.
Slytherin
Now to Slytherin who was saved for last as they are the best at ambition. The first type is like a Ravenclaw, only more frantic and likely to stay up all night hyped up on coffee. They actually may study in the kitchen with Hufflepuffs for tea and caffeine. They are the most ambitious of students often matching any Ravenclaw. Of course all but Hufflepuff assumes they have cheated.
Lastly, the second type of Slytherin during OWLS has a clever way to study. They open up and let the smartest into their inner circle. Each day with enchanted paper they take snippets from the Ravenclaw Common Room by way of paper cranes. Quite lovely really, these calm the students and deliver the correct notes to study in an elegant fashion. Most students do intercept these of course. The Ravenclaws sometimes write in the wrong answers. Slytherin responds by earning highest marks and the house cup… Again.
Good luck on your finals everyone! 📖
Oh no! Someone placed a jinx on all the bathrooms on the except for the one conveniently on the 7th floor. A Ravenclaw and Slytherin have set up a booth by said bathroom but are charging a fee of a sickle per student and the money is being donated to a defense of magical creatures charity.
Gryffindor: Hey guys. How smart. We all gotta go. And you’re helping magical creatures! Here you go! One sickle.
Slytherin: Thanks for the business.
Ravenclaw: Don’t be long. We have a line.
Hufflepuff student: How dare you! I have to go. We all have to use the lew and you do this?
Slytherin: You can’t prove that. It’s not our fault all of the bathrooms are jinxed. Want to use this one? It’ll be one sickle.
Hufflepuff: I won’t play your game.
Ravenclaw: It’s for a good cause.
Hufflepuff: Don’t encourage him.
Ravenclaw: It’s for magic puppers.
Slytherin: Would you rather walk down seven flights of stairs for a tree outside all uncivilized like?
Hufflepuff: Aww. Fine! Take your money.
Slytherin: See? I told ya it’ll work.
Ravenclaw: Don’t play with me. Your scheme may get us detention with Aragog. Or worse expelled.
Slytherin: Expulsion is worse than getting our innards drank by spiders?
Ravenclaw: We’re muggleborns. Do you really want to do a muggle job for the rest of your life?
Slytherin: Touche! Next in line please.
Professor Trelawney: Oh pardon me dear boys but did you say something?
Lucky thirteen: Hufflepuffs are great at finding? No, no you mean we are great at finding luck. Many Hufflepuffs tend to have a natural inclination to a lucky day. Is it our positive demeanor or felix felicis? We won’t tell our secrets to anyone.

Because every great wizard must have funds.
I just lucked out. For me I was lucky enough to have my wand actually match what I happen to love. I have two accounts and two wands. A Vine wand with Dragon heartstring and a Silver Lime (my first and always get) wand with a Dragon Heartstring as well, both 12 3/4″ and Quite Bendy. The difference? For me it was going to the castle vs the sea. And both woods suit me but I prefer Silver Lime for a wand as a Ravenclaw. Look up Complete Pottermore Wand Spreadsheet (in Google) and it should show up. Good luck!

Person: “Why are you staring at me?”
Ravenclaw: (intense stare)
Person: *claps*
Ravenclaw: “What!?” They say shocked
Person, “Why were you staring at me?”
Ravenclaw: “Was I? I was lost in a deep thought. If I stare in your direction I am not necessarily staring at you, but my mind just decided to focus and my eyes didn’t know where to look so I looked somewhere familiar, your eyes.”
Person: *hugs the Ravenclaw student* “Don’t change!”
From my Ravenclaw blog. Consider this a thing about Ravenclaws lol.
While in the wild a badger can attack a lion and hold their own, at hogwarts the badgers are of a more cuddly variety. At Hogwarts many Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs can rest assured both understand a hard day’s work and the comforts of having a cuppa tea with a dear friend and not talking at all: allowing the sipping of tea and time passing in their presence next to a fire being enough.
