Hello fellow Potterheads! While I'm known 'round these parts as Hippogriff, I'm usually called Hayley. :)
I'm from Canada and was introduced to Harry Potter only a few years ago when some friends pretty much forced it down my throat! However, I am as dedicated a fan as anyone and thoroughly regret not getting into this way of life sooner.
A proud Ravenclaw, I love to read, write, dance, and play Quidditch (I'm a Seeker). I am also currently an Unspeakable for Level 9.

The Marring of The Hufflepuff Name by Hippogriff
Rated: All Ages [Reviews - 17]
Summary: "Imagine being in Hufflepuff, I think I'd leave, wouldn't you?" This line by Draco Malfoy on page 60 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is presumably where the discrimination and stereotyping of Hufflepuff house began. We are all aware of the jokes and wisecracks that have been made, and many of us believe they are unprovoked and unnecessary. I enjoy a good Hufflepuff pun as much as the next person, but there is a line. Where is this line exactly? This is what I would like to find out.
