Hufflepuff:

Something with a romantic, slightly vintage vibe / Floral patterns are very welcome / More softer colours than bold, it’s about looking like a benevolent nature goddess 

Gryffindor:

Gryffindors, on the other hand, are ALLLLLLL about the colour / If some element of their dress doesn’t say “I’m a hot piece of stuff and I damn well know it” i just doesn’t feel like them / But they still like a more classic silhouette 

Ravenclaw:

Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws are kindred spirits in their love for romanticism and vintage styles / But Ravenclaws are more likely to play with more modern silhouettes or necklines / They’re also a big fan of texture in their dress, and those little details which makes it feel it’s theirs 

Slytherin:

Slytherins love for their dress to be a show-stopper/ But they still can’t get enough of classic styles with the ‘princess effect’ / They’re all here for the glitz and glam, and know that they can pull it off effortlessly with film-star appeal

(yes, I used some pictures from red carpets, but the dresses were too darn pretty!)

The Houses as Popular Children’s Books

Hufflepuff:

Wonder, R J Palacio

Sweet and complex / Open hearted / Not without faults / Fights against cruelty one friendship at a time

Slytherin:

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl

Always excitingly unexpected / Embodies guilty pleasure / Unafraid to be critical / Success is equal measures of luck and work

Gryffindor:

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll

A true classic / Mixes the weird and wonderful / Drugs may (definitely) be involved / The greatest adventure is the one you create

Ravenclaw:

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theif, Rick Riordan

Makes you feel intelligent / Keeps you transfixed for hours / Never give up on anyone / If you can’t find a solution, find a new angle

If you haven’t read any of these, I really recommend them! X

Gryffindor:

Saw something cute on Pinterest and went ‘screw it’ / Thinks they’re ready for grand designs / The colour scheme is super important to them / They like the idea of going minimalist, but eclectic styles suit them way better / “Okay, but what if there was a swing over here, and I could totally do one of those photo walls, and a HUGE armchair over there…” *moves one stool* / They finish with a room full of character and feel pretty proud of themselves

Hufflepuff:

More likely to build up a room over time than to fully decorate in one sitting / Get excited when they have something new to add / “But are there enough cushions…?” *stares at their 10000000000000 cushions* “…. nope. :)” / Really like the cosiness of scandi styles / Has to call their friends over to help them after spilling paint for the 50th time / Just trying to turn their house into a home / The end game is a cosy room full of candles, fairy lights, and plenty of memories

Ravenclaw:

Theyhave to do it on their own - it’s too personal a thing to let others mess it up / They’ve likely been inspired by a room in a book/TV show/film / The idea of having vintage or repurposed items makes their little heart sing / They need to imagine sitting there reading a book and sipping a cup of tea, whilst a record plays softly in the background - if they can’t feel this, it’s not right yet / Ravenclaws tend to collect some interesting things over the years, and they love showcasing these bizarre bits and pieces in new ways

 Slytherin:

Cleaning out before decorating is super therapeutic for them / They need the space to be impressive in some way, and imagine how wowed their friend are going to be whilst decorating / They will try to give the space a chic vibe, but it’ll probably end up quite homely in some areas (hufflepuffs and slytherins are the biggest nesters, okay? Okay.) / They likely created a moodboard before decorating / It needs to be perfect for having drinks with friends and for watching horror films alone

At 2:38, Today

Gryffindor: I love you

At 2:40, Today

Hufflepuff: I love you too <3

Gryffindor: too late

Hufflepuff: You texted me at 2:38, I replied at 2:40.

Gryffindor: What the hell you were doing at 2:39?

Gryffindor:Slytherin, just because a guy talks a lot about a fictional character on a first date doesn’t mean he’s not husband material.

Hufflepuff:Sasquatch isn’t fictional.

Hufflepuff:*whispering to Gryffindor* Gryffindor has no idea I’m high.

Gryffindor:You’re high?

Hufflepuff:I’m sorry.

Hufflepuff: *leaning over to whisper to Slytherin* Gryffindor has no idea I’m high.

Hufflepuff:We aren’t mad, we’re just disappointed.

Slytherin:No, we are mad.

Hufflepuff:Yes, we are. We are livid. But we’re going to let this one slide.

Gryffindor:Thank you.

Slytherin:No, we are not.

Hufflepuff: I’m not a mind reader, Slytherin.

Hufflepuff:I’m sensitive. I’m a big, old baby, bitch. If you say the wrong thing, I’ll go tell Gryffindor to yell at you.

Hufflepuff: You two seem kind of out of it today. What did you eat for breakfast?

Ravenclaw:Don’t be silly, what I ate this morning has nothing to do with my current state.

Hufflepuff:Gryffindor, what was your breakfast?

Gryffindor:M&M cereal.

Hufflepuff:Oh god, you see! That’s what I mean, I didn’t even know M&Ms made a cereal!

Gryffindor:They don’t, it’s just M&Ms in a bowl with milk.
