Some may think we are like the European badgers (Meles meles), more of a cheerful sort, love to eat, play and we live in a Sett. Others might think we are more like the Honey Badger (Mellivora capensis) and maybe not quite so cheerful, and more solitary in nature, but still loving to interact with other Badgers, eat and play.
All this past year, Hufflepuff has had its members being the hard workers that we, inherently, are. I don't know if we think of it as working, though. Maybe we have a peculiar sense of play?
Be it as it may, we've had an eventful school year and many are the awards which were earned and given out.Hufflepuff House Spirit Awards and Sundry Other Awards gathered through the year
Yes, the Head of House of Hufflepuff is working 2 jobs in RL (Tarma warned her she would be a lot more busy after officially 'retiring'!
) and Tarma is, herself, somehow wishing for another time-turner, as this one has worn out. :shrug:Now on to the awards.

Thank you all for making this a great BADGER year.
Just in case you received an Award and wondered ... what IS this thing? Why did I receive it?, please go here :reading: .
Message from Fels... In all the years I have been at HOL and Hufflepuff, I always tried to keep up with the Hufflepuff Award announcements, but this year has been one that just became too much. We started a house renovation, I went back to work part-time that ending up full time, family members fighting the fight of their lives, myself, having to battle a fight of my own and so I became a bit distracted.
I am so glad to have had Tarma as my right hand lady in all that is Hufflepuff and The Sett during this time. So at this time I wish to present to her The Alektaia Khalikiope Memorial Award. I couldn't have managed this year without her.
