I recently got into an argument with a group of guys I work with, about just what house we'd be in if we were at Hogwarts. Whether it was boredom or genuine interest, it got pretty heated. Pretty much everyone said Gryffindor, or Slytherin, even got one or two Ravenclaws. I, on the other hand, picked the house of the badger, Hufflepuff. For my decision I was mocked.
Now, I aspire to a saying I once heard from Sandor Clegane, "a dog will die for you, but never lie to you". I take that as meaning he won't lie to who he serves, who he's loyal to. I try to do the same. That's probably one of the few traits I get compliments on, loyalty, other than that I'm a rude smart ass who doesn't have a filter. So, take that as you will.
Hufflepuff's stick together, they don't have house division, they have house unity. Anyone that becomes a Hufflepuff is immediately welcome, unlike, say, Slytherin and their stance on half bloods and muggle borns, or Gryffindor and their own prejudices. Ravenclaw is just full of dicks, snooty dicks who think they know it all. A truly smart person knows they know almost nothing. I probably fucked that quote up.
They also have the most bitchin' common room entrance ever! It's a stack of barrels by the kitchens, and if you pick the wrong barrel, you get covered in sticky sap. How cool is that, all Gryffindor has is a fat lady in a painting, that they call the fat lady to her face. Slytherin has a friggin' ghost that killed the head ghost of Ravenclaw, and if memory serves right, the entrance to Ravenclaw is a steel bird that asks riddles. I hate word games, fuck that.
