When I first joined the community I was very nervous, almost as though it was the first day at a new school. I'm a bit odd like that. This means when the voting was all done and I was placed in Hufflepuff, I was happy that I wasn't the kid that no one wanted on their sports team in gym class. So I got to the common room and I introduced myself and I started getting involved. I would go into my common room periodically to welcome others or to with Proffessor Sprout a happy birthday, but I always felt a bit left out like I didn't really belong. Like I stated above I coped with this by picturing that all of the Hufflepuffs really knew each other in real life and not just in the online community. The response to the prank is just more a more concrete example of how I'm not feeling like I belong, rather than just my gut saying, "there's something off here". I hope that explains it.
