In this section we feature short, fun interviews with a different member of our House each month, to help you get to know your fellow 'Puffs and hear quirky facts about members of the best House there is!

This month: An Interview With Felpata_Lupin

What makes you a Hufflepuff?

Everything? Jokes aside, I just identify a lot with all the Hufflepuff values. I try to always be kind and helpful with everyone, I'm fiercely loyal to the people I care about and I always try to do things at the best of my possibilities (although I don't really identify with the hard work bit... I'm just way too lazy...) I think my main Hufflepuff characteristic, though, is my trust in people/humanity in general. I will always believe in everyone's good intentions, I will always give everyone the benefit of the doubt and I will always grant a second, third, hundredth chance. Maybe that's naive, but that's just who I am...

You are famous on HPFT for writing about Peter, and you also have a big love for Remus Lupin. What is it that calls to you about these characters? Do you have any personal headcanons for them that have never made it into a story?

Ahhh, my boys! Where do I even begin? I guess the main reason I love them so much (the main reason I love the Marauders in general so much) is their tragic background. I guess I'm particularly drawn to Remus and Peter because they are more introverted and insecure, so it's easier for me to identify with them. They are so fragile and so in need of love and I wish I could snuggle them and keep them safe (yes, I know they are fictional characters, does that matter?) I don't think I really have any headcanons that I haven't already included in some story at some point... unless you can call headcanon my silly idea that Peter's dad is Sebastian Blishwick from victoria_anne 's Heroes and Monsters series... (I really want that to make it into a story one day, but it has yet to happen...)

Do you have any headcanon about the wizarding society in Italy (it can be in reference to anything you want: government, school, sports...)?

Uhm... I've never really stopped thinking about it much... I guess government-wise it wouldn't be much different from the British Ministry? Of course the Ministry would be located on one of the hills of Rome, and the entrance would be hidden in some archeological site (obviously I've been spending too much time researching the hills now to figure out the best spots... I'm undecided between the Foro Romano on the Palatino, the Domus Aurea on the Esquilino or some not-so-famous thermae on the Aventino... probably this last one would be the best, less tourists to worry about... ) I also think that their Muggle contact would be the Presidente della Repubblica (I'm not sure how practical that would be, but if I were a wizard leader I wouldn't be bothered to deal with anyone else... yes, I love Italian politics )

School... on one hand I like to imagine a big boarding school like Hogwarts (probably still located in some hidden part of Rome, or maybe in some medieval town in Tuscany?), on the other I think it would be more fitting for the Italian experience to have many small day schools (maybe 1 or 2 in each region, since the wizarding population would be too small to have more?) And after the "maturità magica" the kids could choose between a lot of magical university courses...

What's something you do that makes you happy? What do you like to do when you are sad to lift you up?

Depends on the occasion... it could be just snuggling on the sofa under a cover with a cup of tea and a movie or a book. Or it could be putting on some latin-american music and dancing in the middle of the sittiing room. Or going out for a walk (especially if it's Spring), maybe stopping at the playground and claiming a swing for a quarter of hour...  Or sitting around a table with my friends chatting and/or playing cards/board games.

You are one of the most consistent reviewers on HPFT. Any tips for us? What do you enjoy about reviewing?

Oh... well... I really, really enjoy the feeling of getting a new review, so I like to share that joy with other people. The idea that I can make someone happy makes me happy. That, and sometimes I get so invested in a story that I just need to keep reading (any reference to Stella Blue's Icarus is purely coincidental) and I want the author to know how brilliant they are! Unfortunately time is always limited and it's hard to keep up (too much good stuff to read, to little time and energy) so most of my reviews now are for my request thread or (when I manage to spare some time for it) for swaps. But if I do happen to read something just for the pleasure of it and enjoy it, I always try to leave a comment, maybe just a small one. It's a small effort for me while it might be so   important for the author.

Aside Harry Potter, what is another fandom that you absolutely love?

Two fandoms that I absolutely love (although I'm nowhere near as invested as I am with HP) are Star Wars and Percy Jackson! I think that Star Wars is a wonderfully emotional tale about generational conflict, love and redemption. As for Percy, aside from being about Mythology (which I adore) I just really, really love Rick Riordan's writing and his wonderful sense of humour!

What would Amortencia smell like for you?

Uhm... rain, peaches and freshly baked bread?
