Simon - Army Of Hufflepuffs

((Quick author's note. I noticed that when reading on mobile, some people aren't getting the full chapter. And I apologize if you are one of those people. I think I fixed it, so it should be good now.))

Both myself, and the girl standing beside me were shocked. My mouth was hanging wide open, the bottom part of my jaw looked as though it might fall off. The brunette beside me crossed her arms over her chest as she stared at Bailey with utter disgust. She turned towards me, "I feel as though we got off on the wrong foot." She sighs. "After all you could be worse..or Bailey." Bailey scoffed crinkling up his nose. "I'm Robin by the way." Suddenly her once bright red face that had quite literally been yelling at me only mere moments ago, was now smiling and speaking sweetly. She stuck out a hand for me to shake, hers much smaller than my own. I didn't realize how big of a person I really am until I noticed the fact that I was practically towering over her. It didn't help that she looked like she was only 5'4. 

"Simon." I grinned back and shook her hand gently.

Robin crossed her arms back over her chest as she looked at Bailey once more. "I can't believe I consider you my best friend." She sighs as she tucks her hair behind her ear for the third time in the past five minutes. I see her eyes glance over at me, "I'm starting to think I need to replace you with a newer model." I chuckled, Bailey scoffing as he narrowed his eyes. Robin turns herself back towards me, "Can you believe him?"She asks shaking her head. I couldn't maintain my quiet chuckling much longer, bursting out into laughter after she said that. She grinned at me in approval.

As I looked back up at her I saw a smaller young woman come rushing up behind Robin. She had really, really long bright fire red hair that practically fell to the backs of her knees. She was rather small and skinny, didn't really have a build of any sorts. But most of all, she had these bright green eyes that just intrigued me. God, this woman was just gorgeous. And if she didn't remind me so much of Michael's younger sister I might just go as far as saying that I have the biggest crush on her. However, like I said before she strangely reminds me of Michael's younger sister who is a total brat and that I have come so close to strangling.

Before I could warn Robin, the smaller young lady practically tackled Robin to the ground as she hugged her tightly. "I miiisssed you" She giggled, and Robin chuckled at her childishness.

"Aubrie, I saw you at the apartment before you headed to meet up with Lucas." Robin smiled at her, and I could tell the two were in love, just by the way the two stared at each other. It was like nothing else mattered except for the two of them, and it warmed by heart.

I stared down at the two of them laughing slightly as Robin helped herself and then Aubrie off the floor. I recognized the red head's name and then it clicked. Auburnthefirewitch...She's a redhead, it made a lot more sense. I stuck my hand out for her to shake as I introduced myself, "I'm Simon..or um, RulerOfPlanetEarth." She smiled at me and instead of shaking my hand she pulled me in for a hug, her small arms barely able to wrap around my shoulders, or even reach them for that matter. "It's nice to meet you!" She chirped as hugged her back. AS we both pulled away, Bailey was smirking at me cockily, "Should have mentioned, she's a hugger." 

I laugh lightly, smiling, "It's alright, the inner Hufflepuff in me appreciates it." I smile as Robin looks at me with a delighted expression.

"You're a Hufflepuff too? Damn, why didn't I think to replace Bailey sooner??" Bailey frowns and walks away into another room that I assumed to be the kitchen.

"I assume you're a Hufflepuff then?" I ask, raising my eyebrows. 

"Guilty as charged." She puts one hand in the air if she's surrendering, the other too busy holding Aubrie's hand. "It's always nice to have more of our people, Aubrie is one too."

Aubrie grins, "Yeppers!" She smiles enthusiastically. "Robin made me take it cause she's obsessed."

I chuckle once more, feeling surrounded by the all-around happy atmosphere of the room. "I assume Bailey's not part of our badger loving, black and gold wearing house?" I questioned looking over the girls.

"..Actually, now that I think about it, I don't know what house he's in.." Robin sighs, calling out to Bailey as he joins us once more in our room.

I look over as Gram speaks up, "I'm a Ravenclaw," She smiles, "Often get confused for a Hufflepuff."

I look her over, "I'd be one to mistake you for a member of our loyal and loving house."

Robin interrupts our small talk as she looks towards Bailey, "What house are you, Mr. I'm-too-cool for-pokemon? I'd presume a Slytherin?" She asks.

Bailey ignores the nickname as he answers her question, "I'd assume so."

"Assume so?" I repeat curiously.

"Yeah not sure, never taken the tests. Who knows, maybe I'm a Ravenclaw. Haven't read the books, I've seen the first movie though." He shrugs leaning against the doorway.

I look back at Robin sighing deeply. "You really need to upgrade best friend wise..."

She nods, "I've realized this."

Bailey rolls his eyes, "Whatever." He laughs slightly. "God I can only handle one dramatic, annoying friend at a time. It's like you multiplied." He shakes his head.

I saw Robin pull out her phone, but I was already ahead of her, typing 'Pottermore' into the google search bar. I walked over to Bailey my phone as I spoke, "We'll stop once you confirm your Hogwarts house."

"What he said." I glance back at Robin as she speaks, nodding in agreement with me. 

Bailey takes my phone laughing, "Whatever you losers. If it'll make you calm down, then sure."

I sigh with relief as I lean against the wall beside him, waiting for him to finish. It feels as though the whole room is all focused on Bailey, eagerly awaiting the results. Curious as to whether he fits blue, red, gold, or green.
