Unafraid Of Toil- Hufflepuffs

Introduction

Most people believe that because they are kind and gentle and loyal, that Hufflepuffs are weak. I believe otherwise. Where they are just and loyal, those patient Hufflepuffs are unafraid of toil. Yes, Hufflepuffs are known for these traits, but their traits are traits that most people need. There are way too many people out there who are not loyal, which often leads to broken relationships with friends, family, spouses. Many people think that we are afraid, and may not be brave like Gryffindor, but take Cedric Diggory for an example. He was selected as a Tri Wizard Champion for Hogwarts before Harry, and he, although nervous (who wouldn't be?) fought through his tasks, and he was a wonderful Hufflepuff who was brave and broke the status quo of what Hufflepuffs are thought to be. He gave Harry advice to help him get through the second task, much like how Harry helped him in the first. Being kind and friendly never means you're weak or afraid, it shows that even a cunning Slythering matters. Everyone is special, and they all deserve love. This doesn't necessarily mean all Hufflepuffs are kind, and they will accuse. Justin Finch-Fletchley, along with numerous Hufflepuffs, believed that Harry was the heir of Slytherin, because he was a Parselmouth, which is when you have the ability to speak to snakes. They also believe that Harry had summoned the Basilisk (The Chamber of Secrets) onto Justin, which later was realised that that wasn't the case.

When Harry was selected as a fourth Tri-Wizard Champion in the Goblet of Fire, the Hufflepuffs began to think that Harry was trying to take all the glory from Cedric, to where Harry would win, giving more glory to Gryffindor instead of Hufflepuff and Cedric. This lead to the 'Support Cedric Diggory' badges, which also had 'Potter Stinks!' On it as well.
So, no, not all Hufflepuffs are loyal and kind, and they're not all weak and afraid. J.K. Rowling has mentioned her love for Hufflepuff, and how great of a house it is, and I agree fully, for we both have been sorted into Hufflepuff.
