Today, I was called into my son's school because he had got into a fist-fight with another pupil and I had to take him home. He clammed up about the reason behind the fight, until I finally managed to coax it out of him: the other kid is in "Hufflepuff" and he's in "Ravenclaw." FML

I don't think the kid is really in Hufflepuff, that house doesn't seem like the type to fight. I think he's hiding his Slytherin ways.

The kids don't pick what house they're in, that's the Sorting Hats job.

Could he have at least picked one of the good houses?

Harry did. He asked the sorting hat to put him in gryffindor, remember?

ambowew 7

But that's because he would have fit either Gryffindor or Slytherin. #1 is obviously insinuating that the ravens and badgers are the 'shit houses'. What if he only fit into those two? He can't very well say 'I'm a ******* snake!', so put me there! Although he obviously is meant to be one.

Actually he asked not to be put in slytherin (sorry if that's spelt wrong)

Thumbs down all you want but am I the only one sick of these hardcore Harry Potter fans? The series is good but it's not that serious.

captainburke 5

Well technically he asked the sorting hat not to put him in slytherin... But you find out that he is a true gryffindor...

22, you spelled slytherin correctly but "spelled" incorrectly. Gotta love irony... On a related note, I think that this is a worthy reason of a fight... Lol.

I actually think ravenclaw and hufflepuf are the better houses, but that's because I identify with them more.

All the houses are equally good. Each house has students with a certain set of qualities. They are different but equal.

Dear god! It's a fictional series, people. There is no reason for people to associate and have actual rivalries based on loyalty to imaginary "houses".

TheMathMajor 26

47, no reason for people to associate with book characters? What's the fun in that? Fiction writers make their characters relatable on purpose.

47 they are kids. Kids are encouraged to use their imagination. I agree the fight was uncalled for though.

Fighting doesn't sound very wise; I think the OP's son should reconsider his membership in Ravenclaw.

Let's be honest, if the sorting hat asked to put me in Hufflepuff I'd ask to be changed solely because of the name. Ravenclaw has the most badass name in my opinion.

Ravenclaw is known for being clever. I think that is a good house. Next time he should just discreetly send over jinxes.

Gryffindor! Come on OP, you couldn't have taught him about the best house? Also, there's no reason to fight with hufflepuffs. They don't do much, kinda like perry the platypus (not agent P though >:) ) now, Slytherin, on the other hand....

Pfftt, overflowing with mudbloods here, no surprise you're all in houses that have proven themselves to be a shame for the wizarding world. *Snarl* For us purebloods, we're placed in the...clean house. *Roleplay over* Slytherin ftw, I even have a dark mark tattoo on my left wrist, because HP meant a lot to me while growing up~

I like how OP used the word pupil instead of student or kid or anything. Haha.

I think a hufflepuff would defend themselves if someone else started it.

bizarre_ftw 21

So the real question here is if the other kid is really in ravenclaw, I mean really, would a ravenclaw be so thick as to start a common fist fight instead of using some sort of clever trickery to **** with hufflepuff long term? I think the sorting hat screwed up here

juggalo54 3

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too... Now if they'd been gryffindor and slytherin I'd have no problem believing it, but hufflepuff and ravenclaw? Doesn't seem all too likely. Also, go ravenclaw!

Being a hufflepuff doesn't mean you're all cute and cuddly and full of sunshine and rainbows, it means that they're loyal, hardworking and particularly good finders. This kid is loyal to his house obviously. Anyway, hufflepuffs can be badass too; just look at tonks

All I know is, I'm in hufflepuff... And I would have probably defended my house. During the battle of hogwarts more ravenclaw students ran from the fight (or joined the dark side) than Hufflepuff. In fact, hufflepuff's values aren't to far from gryffindor's.

CaptainDoorknob 7

The best part is the kid's probably older than 15. I mean is it the same kid who tried to bite his classmates claiming he's on bath salts?

He's going to write a book called "I'm not Harry Potter. " then, he'll later release "I am Harry Potter", just like Leonard Nimoy.

Crucio the shit out of him. That'll make him learn the error of his ways. I don't blame him, though. The Hufflepuff was most likely a Mudblood.

I thought it was a van in the book. Can't be totally sure, though. That ******* read made my brain bleed. Maybe you should assassinate all of the Cullens like you did your clan, Itachi. I'd approve that shit, and I won't spend my whole life training to hunt you down for revenge. You're good to go!

Personally, I'm a Slytherpuff. If I had to pick one, though, it would definitely be Hufflepuff. I'm really not brave at all, so no Gryffindor for me. xD
