Hufflepuff: *trying To Study*

same homoerotic energy

You are all of the things you love. You are the cluttered bookshelf that is piled high with worn, tired books. You are that delicate tea-cup that you have to clean by hand when everything else goes in the dishwasher. You are the moon and the sun. You are the flowers speckled with rain. You are the Earth and the people that live on it, with hearts of gold and diamonds in their eyes. You are the things that make you happy, that make you smile, those moments where time stops and you are left alone in space. You are all of the things you love, and if that's so, it means you love yourself, because you are yourself.

I always liked Roger from 101 Dalmatians because I admire a person who, when faced with someone they dislike that’s invading their space, just aggressively plays jazz instruments at them until they leave.

gryffindor: bonfires, dancing alone in your room at midnight, coffee stains, steaming showers, can be a bit socially awkward, licorice, jean jackets, photograph sessions with friends, road trips, sunrises, animal lovers

hufflepuff: determined, leather jackets, earphones, works hard and smart, sarcastic smirks, treats people with kindness, blasting music, respects rules, constantly sends memes to their friends, not afraid to stand up for what’s right

ravenclaw: inspired by nature, scrunchies, bullshits an entire essay and still gets a high grade, really messy, oversized hoodies, artistic, goes to coffee shops for the aesthetics, loves reading fantasy books, street smart, random facts

slytherin: very emotional but doesn’t show it, houseplants, old cottages in the woods, probably an artist, cries during sad movie scenes but won’t admit it, loves hiking in the forests, greek mythology, easily embarrassed, sharp minded

Ravenclaw Headcanon

Ravenclaws have their own mini library in their common room. It’s just a small bookshelf, but it manages to always have the perfect book on hand for whatever each Ravenclaw needs.

types of people: hogwarts houses

hufflepuff: terracotta pots, wooden stepladders and shelves, stacks of cards from friends, sunlight filtering through vines and glass, spooning honey into warm milk, big straw hats with satin ribbons, honeycomb-printed walls

ravenclaw: stars in a watercolour sky, brass knockers on old oak doors, purple mist covering the world, stained glass fragments, biscuits on an old porcelain plate, capturing memories in a copper jar, fireflies in a dark field

slytherin: ice on a green lake, heavy curtains, exhaling translucent clouds into cool air, tall ferns in a wintry plain, considering the future at night, peppermint plants, shaking and rolling dice, carpets of emerald moss

gryffindor: velvet banners, spinning golden coins, carving initials into dark oak tables, freshly baked pastry and tart fruit, wind whipping limestone cliffs, meeting at midnight, candles burning through the night, baskets of picked cherries
