Between the Sorting Hat and the Hufflepuff table, Matthew managed to shake away his less than happy mood of being sorted into Hufflepuff. It was after all just going to be his House for two years before he graduated and moved on with life...whatever that was.
Taking the first open seat he came to Matthew sat down beside a very small girl. He guessed she was probably a first year.
"Hello there." Matthew smiled down at her. He was quite a bit taller than her, even though they were both sitting.
"I'm Matthew." SPOILER!!: Mary

She felt it was kind of mean, but she did NOT want him to be able to find her to help him with cracker.
She was, of course, excited to be a Hufflepuff. She had wanted Hufflepuff from the beginning. No one ever bragged or thought they were better than anyone else. It was, in short, amazing.
He noticed her book and felt a pang of jealousy. Had he known it was acceptable to bring a book to the Feast he would have most certainly done so. Maybe not a textbook as this girl had chosen, but a book nonetheless. Matthew sighed and looked down the table at all the faces. The few people he did know weren't from Hufflepuff.
Of course, I'm sorted into a house where I know no one. Matthew thought to himself.
Maybe the food would appear soon. This was a feast, wasn't it?
