I am a Hufflepuff

We’re true to the end
United we stand
So I stand with my friends.

I may not be the bravest,
Or the one with the sharpest wit,
I don’t have the purest blood,
But the virtues that are my greatest
Are the ones to love, trust and care.
I know I am honest,
I know I am fair,
And when you are hurting
You know that I am there.
I stood there thinking of the Hufflepuffs true,
Isn’t everyone a Hufflepuff too?

Of course, the Sorting Hat says,
“You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal and true.”
All these years we’ve been waiting
For someone just like you.

But whatever great things you go onto
Please remember this:
While the other houses strive on
Names, intelligence, and bravery,
We’re the house that will take you in
Even if you’re a nobody.
Because no one should have no one;
And you are no longer a nobody.
