There it was, staring at me with its beady little eyes lined with black going down its furry white head. A badger. More specifically, a badger on a black and yellow coat of arms. This was my destiny according to the creator of the Harry Potter Universe, J.K Rowling after I took the House quiz on Pottermore. I was a just, loyal, patient, and “unafraid of toil” Hufflepuff.

It has shown me how to deal with adversity since everyone openly hates the Hufflepuff community. Being a Hufflepuff isn’t about the merchandise or claiming the better-known characters throughout the book series, it’s about embracing who you are and owning
