October 2083 (IC-wise) Welcome to Hufflepuff! A very warm COOL and enthusiastic welcome to our newly sorted Hufflepuffs. We hope you guys are having fun already! Congratulations on having the honor of belonging in the best House ever our House of gold and black! It is certainly a joy for us all to have you in it; however, if you do not share the same joy, I assure you that Hufflepuff and all its members will grow on you before you realize it.
But not everything is about our newest additions, for all you returning students are equally important to us. You know the rules, and you’re bound not to get lost by now, so please set a good example around the school. Remember you represent Hufflepuff, so do as a true Badger will do. In other words, Hogwarts is not a zoo, refrain from acting like monkeys, or zebras, or whatever animal you deem appropriate, outside (and inside as well) the privacy of the Common Room lounge.
Now, the most important part…have fun! (Do try to study in the meantime, as it would be lovely to continue on winning the house cup again, with your help of course!) Despite rumors, there is no man-eating plant on the grounds, but there is an adorable baby elf named Toddles in the kitchens!
If you're a bit confused or lost at first, don't worry, it's completely normal! We suggest you consult The Blunt Badger, a sub-section of the Herald which contains a staff list, helpful links, a FAQ, roleplay tips, classroom tips, and homework submission guidelines. If you still have questions, feel free to contact our Head of House, your House Mod, your Prefects or an older student. Have fun!
Head of House - Prof. Josephina F. Hadley (PhoenixRising)
House Mod - Mr Orsino Kirby (DJ ExpelliarMOOSE)
House Prefect - Elodie Robertser (Shanners)
House Prefect - Kaiden Yarborough (Yourenodaisy)

Holding onto third place well, rugrats! I know it's a little bit chilly, so keep an open mind to extra layers, and maybe I'll see you around the common room with a hot chocolate and marshmallows for story time. Do your homework, smile a little more, respect your elders, bring me spaghetti and tell your friends they're awesome.
