 In one corner of the Great Hall stands the Hufflepuff event area. Wooden poles stand at the four corners of the perimeter, with vibrant green vines climbing and connecting them. Flowers in multiple colours have bloomed in all along the vines, though there might be a few extra yellow flowers here and there.
Inside the event area, there is a yellow line outlining the main event. Flower pots are scattered throughout the outlined area, each one uniquely decorated by the students of Hufflepuff. There is only potting soil in them though, no flowers to be seen. That is where you come in. The aim of this event is to toss at least three seeds into one pot to receive a prize: a delicious treat!
Students are given five seeds per round and must take their turn while standing behind the line. If three seeds make it into the same pot, a plant will grow - but instead of a flower blooming, the bud will open to reveal one of the baked goods on the menu. The prize will depend on which one the student was thinking of when throwing the seeds.
If a student is unable to get at least three into one pot, that's okay! Simply rejoin the queue and try again. There is no limit to the amount of times one can play the game.
All baked items are kindly provided thanks to a team effort between the Hogwarts house elves and Hufflepuff students.

Calliope lingered just long enough at the entrance to take stock, arms loosely crossed as her gaze swept from one house setup to the next with a critical eye sharpened by the additional self imposed training regimine. Quidditch this term had been nothing short of an embarrassment and while she was trying not to point fingers (she absolutely was), there was a distinct and pressing need to correct the narrative for herself by any means necessary.
... and getting a bit of frustration and aggression out of her system.
Ravenclaw's display earned little more than a passing glance. Riddles. Puzzles. Thinking. Absolutely not. Her brain had already done its required labor for the term. Hard pass.
Gryffindor… well... she didn't like real creatures and their plush counterparts were no better.
Slytherin's wasn't bad. It just… wasn't... what it could have been. The spectacle, brooms, real altitude...eh. So what if there might have been fire and safety hazards involved? Calliope felt like their Head of House should have put up more of a fight with the headmaster. The man literally looked like a marshmallow personified, surely he could have been persuaded.
Eh, oh well.
Which, by process of elimination, led her to Hufflepuff.
Calliope slowed as she approached, taking in the space with a more measured look. Vines curled up wooden poles, flowers blooming in warm, overenthusiastic color. It was… a lot. But her deep hazel eyes landed on the activity and her interest sharpened immediately.
"Excellent," she murmured under her breath, stepping up to the line and rolling one shoulder as if preparing for something far more serious than tossing seeds into flower pots. It wasn't flying, but it was throwing and that was 100% in her wheelhouse.
She collected her five seeds and weighed them briefly, testing their balance and how one felt in her palm. They were no quaffle, obviously, but she had pelted plenty of people in the back of their head by similarly sized objects that she ought to make easy work out of this little shindig.
Now...which pot to aim for...

Ariel wove her way through the Great Hall at an unhurried pace, pausing here and there to take in the different setups as she waited for her turn at the grand stage. The puzzles and maze didn't quite call to her, and she already knew what the lions had put together, so it was the burst of green and yellow in the corner that, in the end, drew her in.
"Oh, this is lovely," she murmured, more to herself than anyone else, her gaze trailing up the wooden poles wrapped in climbing vines. She reached out, fingers brushing lightly against a leaf, careful not to disturb the flowers blooming along the trellis. There was something warm and inviting about it all—very Hufflepuff.
Her attention shifted inward, brightening further at the sight of the scattered pots. Hold the seeds. Aim one. Toss it. Score. The concept was instantly familiar.
The redhead stepped forward not long after Calliope, who appeared to be sizing up the activity with the intensity of someone preparing for a full Quidditch match—a thought Ariel chose not to dwell on for too long, considering how the season had unfolded. Still, she couldn't quite suppress the small smile that tugged at her lips.
"Strategizing already?" she asked lightly, tilting her head as she joined her at the line. "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised."

She didn’t need to look to know when Ariel stepped up beside her. The presence was familiar... annoyingly so ― and not just because they had clashed shoulders and intercepted each other's passes for terms now.
"Always, Scamander" Calliope shot back without missing a beat, a quick, cheeky wink accompanying the grin that followed. "It’s less a habit and more a lifestyle choice."
She shifted her weight slightly at the line so their shoulders brushed for half a second, rolling a seed between her fingers as her gaze flicked briefly toward Scamander.
"And—" she added after a beat, tone smoothing into something more measured, "third place suits Gryffindor well enough, I suppose." A small tilt of her head followed, conceding the point with surprising ease. "You flew well this term. Really well. Better than a third-place finish would suggest."
The brunette may be aggressively competitive, but she wasn’t blind to skill—and once the edge of a match dulled, she could acknowledge it without barbs. Like just now, entirely without any of the usual edge she reserved for rivals.
Her attention dropped back to the pots, studying the pots like they were hoops suspended over a Quidditch pitch. Different sizes, different depths, different odds disguised as chance. Slytherin might have come in last this season, but she wasn't about to miss something this simple... certainly not with muscle memory still humming in her arms and the ghost of a quaffle’s weight sitting perfectly in her palm.
“When are you performing, by the way?” she asked casually, as if it hadn't been something she'd already made a mental note to find out. "I’ll make sure I'm front row for the spectacle."
Her arm drew back like she was back in the air with a Quaffle and a defender closing in. She released at the exact point her instincts told her to, the seed arcing towards the pot in an exaggerated crescent. For a split second, it looked like it might kiss the rim, but instead dropped straight in.
She exhaled through her nose, failing entirely to hide the flicker of satisfaction that followed.
"Didn't sign up to perform myself," she admitted, already rolling the next seed between her fingers. "Bit preoccupied trying to salvage a season that got away from us and completely forgot.".

It was lovely seeing how well the Hufflepuff event had turned out, with all the greenery and flowers as well as the decorated plant pots. It was such a pretty setup. And had the warm and cozy vibes that Hufflepuff was known for. It was so cheerful! Nyle had a great idea with this activity suggestion, and how it connected plants AND food.
Aurora was looking forward to seeing if she would end up winning a treat, and she was fine with anything besides the Cornish pasty since that had meat in it.
Standing behind the line with her five seeds in hand, she looked at all the different pots to try and decide which one she wanted to aim for. After a few moments she decided on one that was decorated with sunflowers. It seemed perfect to her.
She aimed and tossed the first seed.
Would she make it? |
