I was swindled!

Cedric Diggory is a Hufflepuff?! I thought he was a Ravenclaw! I can deal with Ravenclaws; I know plenty of them, but Hufflepuffs? That's like, like, [waves hands around inexplicably], people c'mon. I don't know how to write a Hufflepuff that's not a whinger like Ernie or some lascivious creature like [livejournal.com profile] pandarus' Justin. Where's the snark? Where's the eye-rolling and the double entendres? Nuts.

ETA: I have seen the light. I can do this. Theoretically. It's like D-I-Y Cedric!

*dies*

Guess you'll have to write that Ron/Draco instead ;)

In time, in time, goodness. Go back and read the Neville/Theodore I wrote last month, while i try to figure out how to save this.

*seconds the Ron/Draco*

[identity profile] wyoluvr.livejournal.com 2005-09-30 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
he's *earnest* and good and fair, blahblahblah...

think Clark Kent!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2005-09-30 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Now why would I want to do something like that. Have I ever liked Clark a day in my life? NO!

[identity profile] wyoluvr.livejournal.com 2005-10-01 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
corrupt the innocent? it's a thought.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2005-10-01 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Plus, Clark is too smug and self-righteous to be a Hufflepuff. He's totally a Gryffindor.

[identity profile] wyoluvr.livejournal.com 2005-10-01 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
he is for you, but i've never seen him as self-righteous really.

[identity profile] magicicada.livejournal.com 2005-09-30 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Hufflepuffs can be snarky, just look a Zach Smith.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2005-09-30 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
He's just an ass, that's different.

[identity profile] merrymelody.livejournal.com 2005-10-01 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? I don't him. He's like a knock-off Slytherin. Not interesting enough for me to like, but rude enough to the Gryffindors that I can't dislike him.

Dude, you didn't know that?

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2005-10-01 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure I did, somewhere in my mind. It's not like I didn't read the books several times, but you know, Hufflepuffs are not something Slytherins tend to think about, like ever. Unless we're sleeping with one, then that's okay.

Or if you're taunting them. *snort* You are such a Slytherin.

dude, hi, zachary whatshisface.

[identity profile] ranalore.livejournal.com 2005-10-01 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm, Hufflepuff hotties. You can do it. You wrote Zach.

[identity profile] murklins.livejournal.com 2005-10-01 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
You can make them interesting, I'm sure of it. I mean, they like to achieve stuff through hard work, so they can probably be scarily focused. Plus, since they don't have a heck of a lot to live up to, they likely don't much care what other people think of them and so can easily maintain a kind of cool, blase indifference. Plus they're loyal, so once turned there's probably no going back. And who knows what they're like if their trust is betrayed. Maybe they go batshit insane.

Or maybe you actually have to be insane in the first place to get into Hufflepuff, but no one likes to mention that unsavory detail.

[livejournal.com profile] circe_tigana's a Hufflepuff, ask her for some tips. ;)

Two letters: A. U.

(yes, I know, that wouldn't satisfy me either.)

Hackthis, I implore you to read this essay:
http://www.livejournal.com/community/hp_essays/5781.html

Save your utter loathing for fool hardy dunderheads, like Harry. (Yes, I'm a Slytherin too.)

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2005-10-01 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
That essay is so what I needed. Rock on!

[identity profile] merrymelody.livejournal.com 2005-10-01 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, wish I could help, but all the 'Puffers in canon appear to be mindless Gryffindor following sheep. Except Zacharias, and since you're writing Cedric...
Why not Draco/Cedric? They can bond over the badges.

[identity profile] crimsonclad.livejournal.com 2005-10-01 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That sort of Hufflepuff prejudice is RAMPANT, and it has to stop. Just because we aren't suck-up teacher's pets like Ravenclaw or devious so and so's like Slytherin or absolute thoughtless MORONS like Gryffindor- please.

We're the ones who don't fit. We're the unknown quantity.

He's hot! That's all I can contribute to this conversation.
