Anonymous asked: I tend to be drawn to Ravenclaws and Slytherins, in friendships and relationships. Though I do have a couple Gryffindor friends. Also, I'm the only Hufflepuff in my friend group? Does anyone else have that problem?

I’ll pass this on to you badgers… what do you think?

I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have friendships with other Houses, in fact I think it’s a really good thing to have friends who are not like you.

My closest offline friend is Gryffindor to the core, like she’s more Gryffindor than you could possibly imagine a Gryffindor being.  One of my online friends is a Slytherin.  My closest friend in the world can get sorted as Ravenclaw a lot, but also sometimes Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, and I’m not sure which one she actually identifies with.  (I could honestly see her, easily, as any of the three.  And sometimes it seems like she shifts around so sometimes she’s super-Ravenclaw and other times she’s Gryffindor, things like that.) And she has this amazing cat who’s a hard-core Slytherin.

The Houses are based on the four elements of fire, earth, air, and water – and every element is needed for the world to work properly.  So there’s nothing wrong at all with forming friendships outside your House.  In fact, at the times that Hogwarts is in great danger, the Sorting Hat always warns everyone that cooperation with the other Houses is the only thing that will save the school.

Not that it’s bad to have friends within your House, too.  In general, true friendships are important no matter where you find them.
