Anonymous asked: I'm a Hufflepuff and my girlfriend is a Ravenclaw! We're different, but we're very much yin and yang. She's very in tune with her emotions and I'm pretty emotional, so it's nice to know that she understands how I'm feeling. She helps me verbalize how I feel, and she's very supportive and intelligent. We get along wonderfully and I feel very in tune with her!

Cute!

That’s really cool.

I’m a Hufflepuff with some Gryffindor tendencies.  I’d say Gryfflepuff, except for the fact that I’m clearly Hufflepuff deep down, the Gryffindor comes in second even if I have strong tendencies there.  And I have a few Ravenclaw tendencies, just not as much.  And I have a really good friend who is a Ravenpuff, a Ravenclaw with strong Hufflepuff tendencies and weaker Gryffindor tendencies.

She’s my closest friend in the whole world, and we’re actually as alike as anyone I’ve met who is ‘like me’, but that difference in Houses keeps it interesting.  We both have a strong Hufflepuff component, but otherwise it’s almost like we’re two pieces that fit together by complementing each other.  Like 1.Hufflepuff2.Gryffindor3.Ravenclaw + 1.Ravenclaw2.Hufflepuff.3.Gryffindor.

I don’t know why we’re both so lacking in Slytherin.  It’s not that we have a problem with Slytherins, we both have Slytherin friends and Slytherins we really admire.  (One of my favorite singers, Dolly Parton, I have pegged as a Slytherpuff.  That’s why people have such trouble understanding her, because the two sides are about equal in her, and most people have trouble imagining them going together so well.)  We just don’t have much in the way of Slytherin traits ourselves beyond an admiration for the aesthetic sometimes.  (I still think that after the Hufflepuff common room, Slytherin’s got the coolest.)

Anyway, I’m really glad you and your girlfriend have found each other.  And I think inter-House friendships in general are cool.  And it’s also cool when the Houses you have with someone balance out like they do with me and my friend, where we both have traits of the same three houses but in proportions that balance each other out.  (Both of us have a big two and then one that’s more in the background, and even within the big two we each have one that’s definitely us.)
