After the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry founded the school, each of them created their own academy to spread and continue the young wizards they wanted to cultivate. In addition to the representative colors and character concepts of the academy,
The most recognizable thing about the four major colleges is actually the college’s iconic animal image.
Each animal symbol symbolizes a certain trait that the four founders wanted their students to embody - the Gryffindor lion, which represents bravery and adventure; the Ravenclaw eagle, which represents wisdom and freedom;
The Slytherin snake, who is shrewd and patient; and the Hufflepuff badger, who represents equality and fearlessness.
However, over time, with the understanding and growth of wizards from generation to generation, more well-known labels have been attached to the meaning of each academy.
For example, Gryffindor is often labeled with the attribute of justice, Slytherin is labeled with the name of cunning, and Ravenclaw is synonymous with weirdness... The most incredible one is Hufflepuff. I don’t know when.
, mediocre, honest, patient, honest, these "honest person" labels were crazily attached to them one after another, so that later the teachers and students of Hufflepuff College began to believe it themselves.
"Do you mean that we shouldn't be friendly and enthusiastic to accommodate everyone in the school? No matter what happened in the past, loyalty and sincerity have become the most important college atmosphere in Hufflepuff now, and this cannot be ignored
of."
Cedric Diggory frowned, crossed his arms and interrupted.
I don't know why, although his brain keeps telling him that he just needs to be quiet and listen to the beautiful silver-haired little Luoli, but the vague sense of uneasiness and crisis deep in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, this tear.
The uncomfortable and contradictory feeling made him vaguely dizzy.
"Of course not. In fact, I quite agree with and like the atmosphere of Hufflepuff House. This is why I am so eager to enter Hufflepuff House."
Elena flipped her hair shyly and smiled. Her bright smile made Cedric, who was thinking silently, suddenly skip a beat. She said sweetly, "I just think, maybe, we shouldn't
Forget the original intention of Ms. Helga Hufflepuff when she founded the House."
"Look at the college emblem on the chest..." Elena glanced around the little Hufflepuff wizards, most of whom were still wearing pajamas, and quickly changed her words, "Well, I mean, take a look at the college in the lounge.
The symbol on the flag.”
"Our Hufflepuff's iconic animal is the badger." Elena proudly puffed out her small chest, which was still flat for the time being, and said sincerely.
Hannah Abbott looked at the college emblem on her chest, tilted her head cutely, her tone was full of confusion, "But, what does that mean? We are indeed just like these animals, ordinary and down-to-earth.
, stay calm and united."
"Wait... Ordinary? Practical? Peaceful?!!"
Elena frowned and looked at Hannah with a strange look on her face. Her eyes slowly swept across the group of Hufflepuff wizards who had expressions of approval on their faces. She patted her forehead in disbelief and said, "You don't know how.
You’ve never understood what kind of animal a badger is, have you?! Oh my God, are you really Hufflepuffs?!”
"Ahem, animals from the non-magical world are not taught in class." Prefect Shanna coughed lightly, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across her face, she nodded frankly and admitted, and then asked openly
He said, "If you know Elena, don't keep it secret and tell everyone quickly."
It is undeniable that the power of role models is a very powerful and subtle effect.
Since Mr. Newt Scamander, who was born in Hufflepuff House, became a celebrity in the entire wizarding world, many students will unconsciously regard him as an imitation object in their own lives.
Therefore, Hufflepuff can be regarded as the group of people in the entire Hogwarts who are most interested in animals and plants.
In fact, Hufflepuff is no less curious about new knowledge than Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, but more often than not, shyness and self-confidence limit their access to knowledge.
"Bagers are divided into many types. The more common ones are Wolverine and Mellivora. According to the emblem of our college, it seems that we are more inclined to the latter. The honey badger is a brave, strong and
It is a fair animal. When faced with animals that are weaker than itself, it will never relax or look down upon; and when faced with beasts that are larger than itself, it will not show any fear or flinch - everything is under the control of the honey badger.
All are equal in size and height in their eyes. This admirable quality and nature is the most perfect interpretation of the idea that Ms. Hufflepuff has always wanted to advocate: we should learn to treat everyone equally."
Elena raised her eyebrows, gently stroked the Hufflepuff badger on her left breast with her fingers, and spoke solemnly.
"The acceptance of the weak and mediocre is just a kind of condescending pity and cowardice to keep each other warm. True equality, equality and integrity are not just for those who are lower than us, but to be able to be independent.
Be afraid of all powerful opponents, face them bravely, and be neither afraid nor arrogant. This is the idea that Ms. Hufflepuff wants to convey."
"But, isn't our Hufflepuff recruitment standard to only accept honest, upright, honest and hard-working people?"
A Hufflepuff freshman hiding next to the stairs asked at a loss. As a young wizard who had just arrived at Hogwarts, what Elena said was too subversive to his cognition.
It was so powerful and completely different from what her parents taught her.
She is not the only one who feels this way, in fact, all the Hufflepuff students present are feeling slightly shaken in their hearts - Elena's words may seem a bit unusual, but every theory is so solid.
Can't refute.
"Oh? Do you really think that the selection criteria of Hufflepuff House are the same as those of the other three houses?"
The silver-haired little Luoli raised his eyebrows, turned his face, and said very seriously, "Listen, if Hufflepuff really only recruits honest, loyal, hard-working and persevering students, then many people put on the Sorting Hat.
It’s very likely that you’ll hear something like this—”
Elena cleared her throat, imitating the slow voice of the Sorting Hat and said, "Well... let me think about which house you should be sorted into... You don't have the courage of Gryffindor, you don't have enough ambition, and you don't like studying.
, you’re still a lazy guy. I’m sorry, little wizard. You don’t have any of the qualities that an academy needs. Take the train home tomorrow morning!”
"So, it turns out that we are the most mediocre people that no one wants..."
Hearing Elena's voice, the little wizard who plucked up the courage to ask almost cried. The morale that had just been raised in the entire lounge was about to fall to the bottom again.
"No! Quite the opposite!"
At this moment, Elena raised the corners of her mouth and her tone was clear and confident.
After looking around at the little wizards who were beginning to look confused, the silver-haired little witch smiled tenderly - integrity and honesty, hard work, fairness and tenacity... These attributes are not so much innate character traits as they are all one.
People in a growing environment can rely on their own efforts to achieve their goals the day after tomorrow.
"We are that group of undefined wizards with infinite possibilities. To be precise, we can have all the qualities of the academy, and there is no upper limit to everyone's achievements."
This can actually be seen from the very beginning of the sorting. Compared with the other three houses' emphasis on talent, Hufflepuff actually pays more attention to a person's possibilities, and this is what makes human wizards
The key reason why it is so powerful.
As an indispensable and important college of Hogwarts, Hufflepuff, which has the largest number of wizards, should never be a symbol of mediocrity. To be precise, the great wizards born in Hufflepuff are no better than any other.
There are fewer colleges.

As she spoke, Elena took out a golden-red bow tie from her robe that had not yet been put into the suitcase, shook it, and took the last dose of strong medicine.
"See! Professor Dumbledore personally granted me the right to wear Gryffindor clothes and enter the Gryffindor common room because he also recognized my courage. But in fact, you all know that I am
A Hufflepuff."
"But, even so, Slytherin still..." Following Elena's words, seeing that the atmosphere in the common room was about to reach its peak, the tall female superior Das Shanna said with some worry.
"Slytherin? Why should we be afraid of them, who are the smallest and have been at the bottom since ancient times?"
Looking straight at the senior female prefect who was a head taller than her without fear, Elena spread her arms without knowing why, and said with a relaxed face, "Not to mention that neither eagles nor lions are afraid of snakes.
You know, in the entire nature, honey badgers are one of the few apex predators that are immune to snake venom."
Elena licked her lips, a dangerous look flashed in her eyes, "The real thing to be afraid of is them - the honey badger is the natural enemy of the snake! It's been too long, it's time to get everything back on track.
Already."

I’m so tired, I’m going to bed~ I wrote almost 7,000 words today!
Asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket, Qiu Zhang said, it seems that it is still too difficult for fat chickens like you to be without water.
It's still the same as before. As long as two chapters reach 1,000 chapters, I will add another chapter tomorrow.
