General The Hufflepuff Table 2018-2019

"Thanks, I can play others. Guitar and drums are my favorite!" Miko said excitedly. For him it was a tie between drums and trumpet for his second favorite. "I can sing in any pitch, especially low because I'm a male." The boy said quite knowingly.

Miko too liked a good adventure, when he was looking for something. What in particular you may ask, well usually when he read up on a new creature! Or when the boy is bored of being inside and wants fresh air.

To be honest, Miko is a bit of an introvert. Even though he loves animals you would figure he would be outside, he would actually stay in and read up on them. Sometimes he would look at animal memes on his free time!

Miko opened up his notepad and sketched a guitar. It looks like an ordinary guitar but with an engraving of a fierce looking lion on the front. He drew the lion and everything then drew a background full of fire, which he shaded in. It wasn't too realistic, but he tried his best. Like I said before, art isn't really his talent.

"I'm sorry I'm asking all of these questions but who's your favourite wizard or witch?" Miko asked Ceraphi.

Emanual listened intently as she answered all she could about what he wondered about. It made more sense now, though he thought the whole thing about purebloods thinking they're better was very silly. It's actions, not little details, that make a person worth it.

As Rhiannon muttered about being willing to kick a jerks as, he laughed, amused and appreciative of the offer. He nodded to her after she said that.

He thought about her question though. There were plenty of times, usually when he was upset, but sometimes when he was happy too, that weird and seemingly impossible things happened. He nodded to her. "I've made strange things happen. It just took forever to realize it was me, and why it happened. I'm glad to understand, now. I hate not knowing important things about myself..." he stated. He finished his food then, staring down at his drink as he thought. "Thank you for talking to me, and helping explain things, Rhiannon. It can be confusing and I'm...not always good with reaching out, speaking with others." He explained, glancing up to her as a sort of act of appreciation. He smiled shortly when he did so, then lowered his gaze once more.

He was certainly a curious boy, Miko. He had a lot of talents and is multi faceted. I made Cera wonder if he had a weakness or something. Cera laughed as he mentioned he played several instruments. She couldn't even play one and here was a boy who could do it all. The thought amused her and concluded that Miko was some kind to genius. Ceraphi wouldn't consider herself a master of anything, she knew there were a lot of things she needs to still learn but that was alright because she was in school to learn. It was her sister Celine who was an academic genius and her little brother Adam could read notes at 4 years old. That toddler was a musical prodigy. Ceraphi was just ordinary with the added asthma on the side. She wasn't anything special but she rolled with it, she didn't need to be special to go adventuring. Her passion was adventure. Whatever the purpose it may be, as long as she could spend the day outside doing something new she was up for it. It didn't take much to please Cera, just bring her outside and she'd run around barefoot on the grass.

"I like.." She thought hard. She didn't really idolize alot of people. She'd want to meet them of course the people who fought the Battle of Hogwarts were people she looked up to, but the real only person she aspired to be like was her father. "I supposed I'd have to say my father. I wanna be just like him when I grow up. He's a travelling business man and wood dealer. He works as a dealer for this wood farm and he finds shops too strike deals with to supply them with either wand wood or broomstick wood." She said. "He goes to different places a lot because of his dealings, I think he's been to every corner of the world!" She laughed at the thought but knew it's was she wanted most. To travel and see everything that there is to see about the wizarding world and the muggle world.

Amber sat down at the table not really knowing anyone yet. She thought about what she would do if if she never made any friends and as she did she had a worried look on her face. Despite the worrying thoughts she decided to eat a little something as she was pretty hungry. When she first walked in she thought she might have been in Ravenclaw due to her love of books but she understood her placement in Hufflepuff. Not being born into a magical family did not hinder her from finding out enough from the few books she read to know the personality groups of the four houses.

Her stomach rumbled and she realized how hungry she really was. For that reason she decided to grab a piece of fish off of one of the platters and start to eat. She stayed silent for a while as she ate not really knowing who to talk to. Once she ate she sort of awkwardly sat there in silence feeling uncomfortable and just kind of waiting for someone to say hi to. She thought maybe someone would start the conversation or maybe she would have to start it on her own. She decided that she would just wait.

"That seems like a pretty interesting job! My favorite is either Hermione Granger or Ron Weasley. I suppose Harry's okay too, but he's not one of my favorites." he replied to her. Miko thought Harry Potter was a bit over-praised for his taste. He thought that Potter was brave and all but being the only one to survive a deadly person isn't that much of an achievement. After all, people in the muggle world survive most wanted criminals all the time, so it can't be that hard.

The boy glanced at Amber and quickly looked away to right in the notepad. Miko wrote "She has pretty nice eyes but her hair is a bit plain. The girl kinda seems like a shy person like a Hufflepuff but also a smart one like a Ravenclaw. I see her in Ravenclaw, doesn't seem she'd be out of place.... He was similar to her, he could be a Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff and he wouldn't be out of place. Of course he wanted to be in Gryffindor but Hufflepuff came as a surprise since none of his relatives were in Hufflepuff. Miko only thought she SEEMED like a Ravenclaw, he could be wrong but he isn't usually.

Amber remembered that she had a book in her pocket and since she was waiting for someone to talk her she decided to read a little. She open the book and started on a few sentences at the same time she grabbed a crab leg from one of the plates. as she bit down on the tender meat a few drops fell on her book. "Shoot, I hope that doesn't stain..." She tried to wipe off as much as she could and left he book to dry off. Now she had nothing to do other than wait or start a conversation herself.

What was wrong with her today? She was not usually shy at all and would often start up conversations with anyone. In her mind she decided that the shook of everything that happened today was most likely the reason she was acting this way. And she was lost in her thoughts she felt a pair of eyes on her but decided to shrug it off and get back to reading since her book had dried off. Her eyes darted from word to word taking in every word that was put on the page. She still had a lot to ponder on but she decided she would do it later.

Ceraphi nodded, Milo was a fan more than anything. He admired the Golden Trio and yes Ceraphi did admit that she loved them as well she didn't idolize them like Milo did. Ceraphi was more grounded on her reality and the things that surrounded her. Although her head was up in the clouds with imagination and dreams of adventure, the curse of reality always kept her grounded. There were so many things to be explored and known about the present day and she'd rather not dwell on the past, especially since her past was filled with boring days of bed riddenness not allowed to go out because of her asthma. Ceraphi idolized people she'd met and known and she believes is living a life that she wants to live. "They are definitely amazing" Cera stated. She did admire them just not as much as Milo did.

Cera noticed a new girl sat down beside the. She seemed rather shy and didn't speak as she sat down. Cera smiled at her. "Hello!" Cera said in an overly cheerful tone. Cera noticed she was reading a book, something that interested her. Though Cera knew it was not polite to ask immediately about it. "I'm Cera, what's your name?" Cera smiled again at the new girl who had just sat down.

Glad to have a chance to meet a new friend Amber put down the book she was reading. "Hi I'm Amber" She said to the girl who had kindly broke the awkward silence. She thought that this was a great opportunity as this whole time she was afraid she wouldn't make any friends. "Hufflepuff seems like a cool house. Honestly I don't know much about the magical world since I was raised in the non magical world by two muggle parents. All I know is what I learned from books" As she said this she realized that she might not be accepted by her as she had no idea of how wizards thought of muggles.

She understood that there was at least some who didn't accept it from some rather rude books she read that were written by wizards who still didn't accept muggle-born, as there still was those kind of people. All she really wanted was the respect her parents had always refused to give her. She decided that at this point she hadn't met enough wizards to tell if they were all this rude to muggle-born. She hoped that this did not come from many people. She knew Hufflepuffs were known to be kind though so she trusted that this girl would not be rude like the authors of the books.

Ceraphi smiled at the girl. She was a muggle-born! She'd hadn't met a muggle-born who was so open about the fact that she was raised by muggles. Cera knew there were wizards who looked down on muggle-borns. Mostly pure-bloods who believe that they were more superior as they were pure of blood. Pure of blood but black of soul was how her parents referred to these wizards who discriminated against muggle-borns. Ceraphi's family didn't and are very open to actually mingle with muggles. In fact, the Vermounts lived in a muggle neighborhood and sent their children to muggle school to make their children understand how muggles are and to get along with muggles. Of course Ceraphi and her siblings were taught to keep their magical background under wraps but aside from that the Vermount children grew up assimilating with muggles so Ceraphi has no qualms whatsoever with them.

"Really?" Cera asked enthusiastically, "What do your parents do?" She asked genuinely curious. She had muggle friends whose parents were business owners, Doctors, Dentists, Artists. There was such variety and freedom with their jobs. "I went to a muggle school before!" Cera said excitedly. She felt more comfortable that there was someone she could talk to about her past. Her past was something she rarely talked about because it was full of bedridden days and miserable nights where she couldn't leave the house believing that her asthma was so severe, even now, that she wasn't allowed to take risks with her health, she wasn't allowed to push herself. The best part of her past that she liked was her muggle friends who were so interesting for her. Living without magic was such an alien concept to her. She'd read a lot of books on muggles and how they are so getting to know a muggle-born sparked her interest in muggles.

Glad that this girl was more accepting of her past Amber Smith decided she could be more open to this girl. "Well my dad was a priest and my mom was a teacher. Can we maybe not talk about them though, they weren't the nicest people and when I had times when my magic came out they would be scared of me..."
She wanted to be open and talk about it to this girl and she was glad she had a chance. "Muggle schools are ok but honestly I think this place will be better. Although I do like the learning system, the people there can be really mean."

She felt good getting all of this off her chest even if it was to a girl she had just met, she felt this girl was a kind person who she could talk to about all you this stuff. With all of this off of her chest you could almost see her posture loosening and relaxing. "Honestly my whole life I dreamed of a place where I would be accepted, when I got this letter that revealed to me a place like that existed I was beyond exited. It was hard though... I knew my parents would never let me go because of the way they thought of magic. I kinda... ran away."

She was not sure what this girl would think of her last statement but she knew that she was accepting about almost everything so far so Amber still had a pretty relaxed posture.
