Dear gods. And people say the NHS is shit. Your poor grandpa!
And I'm not exactly complaining about being a Hufflepuff. I don't subscribe to the "house of leftovers" feel that the Potter series leaves one with because they're too busy painting Gryffindor as the only heroes and tarring and feathering Slytherin before riding it out of town on a rail. Hufflepuffs are fair and loyal and hardworking sonsofguns and they get the job done, and they are a good bunch to be. So I say it with no rancour, just like I liken myself to a Boggan with no particular qualms. Just sometimes it's a pain because I want to do more to help than I'm actually capable of doing in my current position and it galls me.
