Hufflepuffs Stick Together

[Deleted]

Susan sighed as she fell onto one of the yellow couches. She loved the Hufflepuff common room. If you were in a bad mood this place had a way of making it better. So light, airy and warm. She opened up one of her transfiguration books. She felt like she was living in these books. She felt like she was working so hard that she had no social life. Which wasn’t the case. She spent more time with people then she ever had in previous years let still she hated blowing people off to study. But she wanted to become an animagus and it was going to take a lot of hard work and a lot of time. She wanted to do something no one else in her family was done. She wanted to do something unique to her.

Hufflepuffs Stick Together

Today was a good day to get some studying in. Darrin groaned in protest as his alarm went off, waking him from a good a good nights sleep. He turned off the loud sound and sat up in his bed. His dormmates already gone for the day. Probably to go to hogsmead or something to that effect. He stretched and slipped on some comfy clothes. Today was a Saturday. No school. But that didn't mean no work. He decided that he would work in the Hufflepuff common room for a while if he could without getting distracted. If he got distracted too much he would be forced to move to the library or something. Perhaps he would ask Lupin for some help with the DADA study he needed.

Grabbing his books he headed to the common room, his eyes still blinking the sleep away when he reached the doorway. The moment he peaked in Darrin noticed another figure sitting in one of the couches. Darrin automatically sighed. He knew he was going to get into some kind of conversation with her. He always did. He took another look and this time actually thought about who it was.

Susan, right? He had seen her before and had tried to speak to her several times, but she never really responded so he gave her space like he figured she had wanted or needed. He didn't want her to think he was some kind of creep. Anyway, he had noticed her more recently talking to some other students around the school. Maybe she was slipping out of her shell.

Deciding it would be ohkay to work in the common room anyway whether she spoke to him or not, Darrin stepped into the room and stopped in front of her. He kind of leaned sideways and almost upside down so that he could read the title of the book she was reading. He already knew what it said. He just wanted to be funny about it. That was all. "Learning how to turn into animals are you? Which ones do you wanna turn into?" He obviously knew that it was only possible to turn into one. And that one was suppose to choose you, not the other way around. Again, he was just trying to start conversation in a goofy way.

What you think about me, says a lot about you.

Susan’s blue eyes left her book due to seeing a shadow in the corner of her eye. Just a guy. She didn’t come here to be disturbed. She wanted to study. She took one day out of the week to just study. She choose today. She didn’t really like to study but she wanted to do well in her classes this year. She had promised her Auntie Amelia she’d really try her best the last two years so she could get an honest job after Hogwarts.

She played with the tip of her plat, a nervous habit she had. She hated how nervous she got around people sometimes. She didn’t really have a reason to be so nervous. “May I help you?” she asked. She hadn’t meant for it to sound so snooty. She was anything but snooty. She just didn’t like jokes about schoolwork. She takes schoolwork very seriously. “By now you should know that a person doesn’t choose the form but the form chooses them,” said Susan. She had slowly recognize the boy, he was in her year tried talking to her a few times but she wasn’t interested in talking. That was mostly because her accent was heavy and she got sick of people commenting on it. So what if she grew up on a farm.

She did wonder where everyone was. She hadn’t seen any of her ‘normal’ crew around. No one in Hogwarts was normal but that was beside the point. She felt a bit jaded by the crew she typically hanged out with. It wasn’t a crime to talk to other houses. It wasn’t a sin to be happy instead of depressed. Being depressed didn’t suit Susan well, it was depressing being depressed. It was quite pathetic and Susan hated that. She had grown up in a family that taught her to see the best in things. For Merlin’s sake if every farmer thought about all the negatives he’d starve to death depressed over everything on his farm. She learned to ignore the bad and only see the good. It was a gift and a curse.
