possibly an impromptu snowball fight, possibly levitating the snowballs and dropping them on people's heads, open for more suggestions
Sounds fun! I'd probably like some more information, but I might be interested once you develop your plan a little more. Putting more stress on my shoulders ahaha...

Oh and, @Eliza Corrids, congrats! I actually saw his post before you, but I was sadly on mobile and didn't have time. :lol:

@Kayden Lind, in the final battle of Hogwarts, Hufflepuff was a close second in terms of the people that stayed behind. And while Gryffindor fought for Harry and glory, Hufflepuff fought for what was right. Dumbledore's Army also had a number of Hufflepuffs, including Hannah Abbott, Ernie MacMillan, and Justin Finch-Fletchley. Many great wizards and witches have also graduated from Hogwarts as part of the Hufflepuff family. Most notably, these are Newt Scamander, Pomona Sprout, and Nymphadora Tonks. Hufflepuffs make up the bonds that hold Hogwarts together, and are arguably the most selfless and honest students here. And by "honest", I don't just mean they don't tell lies. I mean that many of them are honest about themselves. They admit they are scared, but they keep on trying anyway. That's true bravery, isn't it?
And welcome to HiO, @Nicholas McCowan. Eliza covered pretty much everything, but I would suggest exploring the site, most notably the Encyclopedia section [Accio] since it contains our main story line as well as our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page. Apart from all the upsides she mentioned, you can also explore your own character better. Browsing the abilities/races page [Accio (this is not the same page Eliza linked you to by the way)] can get you thinking on what's best for you character. But that's just my piece of thought. I hope you enjoy your stay, and feel free to post your questions here or reach out to a Prefect, Professor, or Head of House.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm selfish at times, but a lot of people overreact about how bad gryffindor is

like, it's literally one entire fourth of hogwarts. and suddenly draco malfoy's hot but the entire house of gryffindor is stupid

i'll admit that some members of gryffindor are arrogant. but not all of them.

and hey, you're technically insulting me right now.

hogwarts stereotypes:
gryffindor- *kills evil people* *gets killed*
slytherin- *is edgy* *kills people*
ravenclaw- *is nerdy* *analyses the danger of the situation so killing won't happen*

Okay, let me just say. GOOD JOB STANDING UP FOR HUFFLEPUFFS
They are a better version of Gryffindor.
Newt Scamander and Tonks were a Hufflepuff (That alone is enough proof)
They are not afraid to stand up for what is right, not for glory.
They always rise to the occasion
Shall I go on?

Oh, and badgers are some of the most dangerous animals in the world. In a battle between a badger and a snake, the badger would win. And that's the Hufflepuff mascot.

Maybe that was a bit harsh. Gryffindors aren't always boastful. I think a better image would be at a karaoke night, the Gryffindors and Slytherins would be vying for people to watch them, the Ravenclaw would be in the back-breaking down the lyrics, and the Hufflepuffs would be pretending to be interested in what everyone on the stage is doing. ANd they would also have their own music playing through headphones.
