Hufflepuff?

HUFFLEPUFF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

How DARE any sister of mine be Sorted into Hufflepuff!  No Nott in the HISTORY OF OUR FAMILY has ever been Sorted into Hufflepuff!  This is a DISGRACE to my family name, and to generations of Notts that came before me!  It is an INSULT to my intelligence and to my heritage.

I SPIT ON YOU, HUFFLEPUFF.

Your father is also a raging alcoholic with -

Yes, dear, I know. And it's lovely for him, but the place has gone terribly down hill these days, I think.

Well, no, your father isn't a pushover. But Winifred Wood is in Hufflepuff. And Coriander Bulstrode. Edward, they'll be corrupting her and I won't be able to look after her. And she looks so unfortunate in yellow.

Daddy would probably be pleased if our sisters could somehow swap houses with each other.

[dontswatme]

Yes, as would my father. But then you wouldn't be able to watch over Lizzy - not that she needs it so much as Amitra does.

So is mine. That doesn't say much.

[rathereffable]

I just meant that it's hardly disgraceful to have a family member in Hufflepuff. But to each their own.

[smithami]

I know that. But I'm saying that my father isn't a very nice person...so maybe for everyone good one there's a Zacharias?
