#hufflepuff headcanons

they find a lot of spare change on the ground. they keep the change in a jar in the common room and whenever it fills up, they use it to buy treats for the entire house l

they organize bake sales to fundraise for issues they’re passionate about, as well as students that need it

they are really good at “overhearing” gossip and spreading it. do NOT let them hear you badmouth their friends

the common room has a pantry of dried herbs, teas, and remedies for any ailment

i have one sibling in every hogwarts house, so here’s some weird things each of them does...

gryffindor

will walk up the stairs, stare at you for a minute straight, and then make a random animal sound (usually a pterodactyl screech) before laughing and leaving again

unironically blasts “all i want for christmas is you” at 8 o’clock in the morning on black friday

will call you at really inopportune moments only to breathe heavily into the phone, laugh after a minute or so, and ask you if mom is home (after she just told them she was leaving.)

if they get take out they always offer to get you something and then pay for it, but then they hold it over your head, later

never has cash on them, despite always being able to buy you take out

which means they never tip the doordasher, rip

honestly doesn’t care if they’re left out of family things™ but brings up all the times you did something without them randomly, just to guilt trip you

always makes plans for when they will come into money but never does

plans to get really expensive gifts for birthdays or holidays but then doesn’t have money when the time comes

impulsively sells their electronics (like playstations and xboxes) for money only to buy new electronics

and then eventually buy back the same model of the one they sold

actually stays out of a lot of family drama by just never leaving their room

needs “background noise” to sleep so they end up hogging netflix all night despite not actually watching it

yells loudly when playing video games, much to ravenclaw’s annoyance

stays up until 5 o’clock in the morning playing video games then doesn’t wake up until noon

only sings to annoy others

put a nylon on their head and had a cousin (an enablist ravenclaw) pour cereal and milk into their covered mouth

ravenclaw filmed and encouraged this

stole the microwave in the kitchen to put in their room

aLWAYS HAS THE TV ON BUT NEVER WATCHES IT

constantly deletes and recreates their instagram account

unironically likes riverdale

watched the entirety of the clone wars and then made fun of me and hufflepuff when they saw us watching it.

absolutely did not care what i put on this post

Hufflepuffs and Indian Cuisine

It's basically just many many headcanons

Do read and give feedback!

The hufflepuffs are foodies obviously

And the ones from India really like British food

But they have some.... Problems.

Like "Indian food isn't just curry!!! "

And " do those British people even know of spices? This stew has like no flavor"

So they wanna introduce everyone else to spices and the diversity in Indian cuisine

So they go to the house elves

And ask permission to cook in the kitchen

They are Ofc super polite as they really respect house elves and value their work

The house elves are hesitant but eventually say yes

And then the cooking starts!!

Our Indian puffs cook all sorts of desi dishes

Like chole bhature, pao bhaji, idli Sambhar, paneer masala and so on

They cook and eatttttt

They have big parties with the house elves (you let us use your kitchen guys, now join the feast already!)

The house elves love it too!

Then one day a British hufflepuff student joins them

And they love the dishes!!

" yes I agree now this is so much more than curry"

"honestly I've never had so many flavors at once in my mouth!! "

But they also have some problems

" how the heck do u guys eat this every day it's spicy - OMG my mouth is on FIRE "

But overall they find the food awesomely unique

Now you know your puffs

They love to share their happiness

So they decide to throw an Indian food party for all the puffs

Everyone is very excited cause puffs are always open to new experiences

But the actual cooking group is sweating, this is so much work!!! We can't handle it alone

So they take help of some other puffs who cook and the house elves help too (as always, they love hufflepuffs)

But they don't forget to use sweetening spells to tone the spices down a bit for these inexperienced British people

They also use charms which reduce the spiciness but still keep the flavor

The party is a huge success.
