| | |  Hufflepuff Study Tables
Banner created by Lockhartian A large honey-colored wood table is set up to the far side of the room, the perfect place to study or even just leisure read. And should you find yourself lacking inspiration, portraits of several outstanding brains of former Hufflepuffs through the centuries line the walls in this area. These fine minds also bear the hallmark of those traditional of Hufflepuffs, including qualities of patience, a strong work ethic, and constancy.
Some of these portraits include Nymphadora Tonks, Cedric Diggory, and even Zacharias Smith, flying on his broomstick. And of more modern Hufflepuffs, there are portraits of former prefects such as Savannah Mae, Nolan Reynolds, Leo Moretti, and then some outstanding quidditch plays of Evan Cassels scoring another goal on Slytherins and then Kita Lewis, snatching the snitch right from Ellie Stone's nose just several terms ago now!
Hufflepuffs may have that myth floating around that we're not clever, but that is a MYTH. Hufflepuffs are definitely though, the least boastful, the most modest, but have also produced just as many brilliant witches and wizards as any other house. In addition to those named above, there's also Grogan Stump, one of the most popular Ministers for Magic of all time, as were the successful Ministers Artemesia Lufkin and Dugald McPhail. Then there’s the world authority on magical creatures, Newt Scamander; Bridget Wenlock, the famous thirteenth-century Arithmancer who first discovered the magical properties of the number seven, and Hengist of Woodcroft, who founded the Hogsmeade village.
The shelves lining the study area are stocked with reading material for all classes, and limited supplies of spare parchments, ink and quills. It seems as though some of the stock hasn't been replaced over the summer holidays, so be sure to bring your own. But enough about former outstanding Hufflepuffs; I do hope some of you are willing to work hard and use these study tables wisely. After all, we've got an elusive house cup defend and after so many years, I'd hate to see it given up so easily .....  | |

So... this was... becoming a little boring. The boy had crawled, what, thaaaaat much now and he had still found nothing. Plus his hands and knees were really starting to ache. Maybe that was why babies cried so much. MAYBE they were sick of crawling around and... and...
... This was too much thinking.
He stopped and sat down there, completely giving up on this search. Maybe he could just... go and make some pancakes and then go and study some Charms work. He did need to try that ice cream spell out on another type of foo--
BLINK. How did he not... Alec whipped out his wand and stared at it, as if he was looking at it for the very first time. "I have... a wand. This is a wand!" Why didn't he just... accio his watch?
Shaking his head at his own stupidity, Alec got up and dusted himself off. It seemed as though the place was still quite messy and dusty from the beginning of the term. ... The beginning of the term... that seemed like it had been light-years ago! And it seemed like... a lot of things had happened this past term. Like the appearance of the turnstiles, and then the repo goblins and... yeah... no one was going to forget about the dementor attacks anytime soon.
The Hufflepuff cleared his throat and held up his wand. Accio. Simple spell. And he was just going to accio his watch, yeah? It wasn't as if something... bad could happen from that.
"Accio watch!"
Come on, watch, you can't hide forever!

We're painting the Gandr red! We're painting the Gandr red!
Not pink!
Not green!
Not aquamarine!
WE'RE PAINTING THE GANDR REEEEEEEEEEEEED.
Well, technically just the runes, but stiiiiiiiiill. Tobias had the Tiver that had been sent to him along with a little paintbrush. He obviously hadn't brought these things from home; instead the school owl he'd sent with the request to his grandfather had arrived a week or so ago, so now he was all prepared.
This part took a lot less time than the carving, even though he was still softly singing the runes under his breath as he painted them. Tobias took his time, wanting everything to be absolutely perfect. He didn't know if he was making enough noise to bother anyone else in the common room but by the time he'd thought of that, he was painting the red pigment over the last of the runes.
A cursory glance over the entire Gandr was enough to tell him he'd painted over all the runes, and Tobias realised he was ready to the next step.
Figuring he would tidy up when he got back, Tobias got up and bounded out of the common room up towards the Ancient Runes classroom. The breeze from his running would probably be enough to dry up the red pigment he'd been painting over the runes.
