Hufflepuffs don’t wait until they are in trouble to bring flowers home; they bring some home from the store about every other week just because.

A muggleborn brought chalkboard paint and pulled an all-nighter with friends painting a wall in the common room, moving paintings and shelves and even a fireplace for the night with a tricky bit of transfiguration. When it was all dry, they returned everything plus added place for chalk. Now it is covered every day with words of encouragement and little notes.

Hufflepuffs get more frustrated at Ravenclaws than any other house. In their shared classes, the ‘Claws tend to be patronizing or condescending in discussions.

Hufflepuffs tend to move back to their villages and hamlets after graduating from Hogwarts. They bring their talents back home because they want to give back to the community that raised them.

Breakups are rough for Hufflepuffs. They will still want to be friends, even when they know that’s an impossibility.

Hufflepuffs stress-nap.

Hi, I wanted to know what characteristics you would think for a Hufflepuff villain,or Dark hufflepuff? Because I wanted to write a female villain that could have hufflepuff traits, but so far she has more of Slytherin traits (She's ambitious, doesn't question her morality that much, she does what's necessary to win, values power. But she's also very loyal, naive, hard-working and loving). I don't want to further the stereotype that only Slytherins/ or with slytherin traits are the bad guys.

I think a “villain” Hufflepuff would take a dark path in the name of loyalty, and patience and hard work would get them their results.

Several Hufflepuffs throw a scone into their bag during breakfast every morning for people who slept through.

A conversation with a Slytherin co-worker:

Slytherin: You should really consider becoming a mentor for the new hires. Tell the department head you want the position. 

Hufflepuff: Yeah, that sounds great! I would love to help them develop new skills!

S: No, no, if you start mentoring now, in 10 years all the department will have been trained by you and be your minions. Then, if you have a disagreement with the boss, you know you’ll have their loyalty. 

H: ....

S: Don’t say I never tried to help you.

Hufflepuffs are very driven but feel guilty nominating themselves for leadership positions; they like being asked to lead, so they don’t feel like they are being selfish.

When a Hufflepuff wins an argument against a Slytherin, the Slytherin will try to flee the scene as quickly as possible, while the Hufflepuff trails behind trying to figure out what type of cookie to bake to smooth things over.

If a Hufflepuff and a Slytherin are the only two from their respective houses in a big group project or on a team, they will either be on the same page, united against the Ravenclaws and Gryffindors, OR they will be pitted against each other on big decisions and try to sway the rest of the team to their perspective.

I am still alive! It’s finals week at my university and I am keeping my head above the water. Sorry, I haven’t posted in forever; I have no excuses. If you want to submit a How Hufflepuff I would love to post it. Also, sidenote, I am in a sorority and I adore it. The traits we value very much overlap with Hufflepuff qualities. :)

Noncanon: To get into the Hufflepuff common room, you have to say something kind you've done that day. And the door knows if you're lying, that way mean, bullying kids can't get in.

Yearly Easter egg hunts are a point of pride for the house of the Badgers. The upperclassmen make beautiful eggs, hand painted, and hide them about the castle letting the younger puffs find them.
