04 Rocky Raccoon Checked Into His Room

[n0blesse_oblige]

Well now. That's certainly the way to end spirit week with a bang. Or a roar. Or a hiss.

I want to urge all students to NOT try and approach or pet these animals. Especially the Hufflepuffs. Badgers can look very tame and cute, but trust me, they're not. They will take an eye out. Ask my mate Roger. Two months in the hospital wing.

Whaaaa? Do badgers attack?

[n0blesse_oblige]

Oh yes! They're quite vicious, especially if they feel threatened or they're protecting their young. My school mate Roger found a badger in the forest and tried to capture it and bring it back to the dorm as a mascot. It quite literally clawed his eye out. He had to go to St. Mungo's for emergency treatment and then spent about two months in the Hogwarts hospital wing recovering.

It's a pretty fitting mascot for us Hufflepuffs... we may look nice and cuddly, but don't mess with us.

M-miwako is going to stay far, far away from the badgers now.

Miwako is always cuddly, though. ☆

Yes, a wise idea until they get removed...

I'm sure you're very kind but even the nicest of people have a breaking point.

I really love your house mascot James, but I don't think they like me. I think one hissed at me as I passed by to my office.

[n0blesse_oblige]

Yeah it's probably just you, actually...

*smirks at her*

[littlestsister]

Hey hey! I'm loveable! I'm a friend to all animals!

...

Okay, it's definitely growling at me. D: Apparently I am not a friend to badgers.

[n0blesse_oblige]

Right, right, of course... that's why it's hissing at you...

*smirks*

No seriously.. are you alright?

[tigerinmyhand]

Especially the Hufflepuffs? WE HAVE A LION!

[n0blesse_oblige]

I know, but I would hope that most people would know better than to try and pet a lion. People might not realize how fierce badgers are because they don't look it.

Good luck sleeping tonight, eh?

[tigerinmyhand]

These idiots don't know better about anything.

[n0blesse_oblige]

That's true, I shouldn't assume...

I think that's really awesome... I can't play any instruments.

[n0blesse_oblige]

But you can paint...

[littlestsister]

Yeah... I can do that though. :) I just wish I could make music.

[n0blesse_oblige]

I wish I could paint...
