This is starting to feel like the dawn of the Age of Hufflepuff… #FantasticBeastshttps://t.co/j4kj2nYurr

I don’t know about anyone else, but this tweet made me want to check in with the Sorting Hat for a little serenade about this momentous time in our history.
Loyalty, the hidden strength
A good person makes
Sometimes kindness is taken
As easiness to break
Our expectations slant higher
Than they ought
We demand recognition
For those who fought
Problems aren’t ignored,
But we aren’t brash like Gryffindor
We rise when wrong is shutting out right,
In darkness we always see a light
Ravenclaw, where wisdom rules,
Are not the only smarts in this school
For Slytherin ambition climbs
To the top of “to do list” lines
While we work hard for what we want,
We don’t step on others to reach the top
The Age of Hufflepuff simply put,
Is a time of kindness, hard work, and loyalty,
finally gaining a second look
