It would've made sense for Anita Grace Goyle to be sorted into Slytherin. Her parents were both Snakes. Both of them Grade-A jerks. So what made their eldest daughter become a freakin' Hufflepuff, of all things? Let's go over the basics:[break][break]

Mother: Daphne Greengrass. 41. Pureblood.[break]
Father: Gregory Goyle. 41. Pureblood.[break]
[break]
Both of them were sorted at the same time as Harry Potter. Both of them were raised in traditional Pureblood families. "Always find that Mudbloods are worthless!" It was drilled into their heads so many times, it felt like they were supposed to hate the enemy. So when they met the famous Harry Potter, neither one of them could have cared less. They knew that they were going to hate him for one reason or another. And when Harry was sorted into Gryffindor, that gave them perfect reason to do so.[break]
[break]
We all know the stories about Harry and the Slytherins. But back to our subject: The glorious Anita.[break]
[break]
She's the first of three girls, born one year after another. And come to think of it, her sisters are both Hufflepuffs themselves. So there's something in the water when each daughter was born.[break]
[break]
Perhaps it was the way they grew up. Once the Battle of Hogwarts finished up, each student went on their way. Some of them were never to be heard from again, as the quietly hid in obscurity for what seemed like forever. Anita's parents, however, had "hooked up" as it seemed a year or two after the war. Daphne's sister Astoria arranged the first few dates, but with a little temptation sinking in, Gregory wanted to treat the younger Greengrass child like a woman. After being a Slytherin for so many years, it was time to break out his shell. And thus, the future parents started to act unlike Slytherins.[break]
[break]
Anita guesses that somewhere down the line, either her mother or father passed down those sympathetic genes down to each of their children. Compassion sunk in. The moral of importance was brought up daily (it almost felt like it hurt). With each passing day, it seemed like being a Pureblood didn't sound like it was the most important thing in the world. There was no demoralizing those who didn't share the same blood status as they did. No calling Muggleborns by dirty names.[break]
[break]
Seventeen years ago, Anita went to Hogwarts for the first time, knowing that she was going to give the Goyle family a new life. She figured that she was probably going to be sorted into Slytherin like her parents were, but the staff who had been familiar with the students pre-war were kind of shocked to hear that a Goyle-Greengrass child wasn't going to be in Slytherin green.[break]
[break]
Instead, she was going to be in Hufflepuff yellow.[break]
[break]
It was kind of obvious, based on her personality. She always came across as a soft-spoken, mild-mannered kind of person. Nobody suspected her to be such a complete jerk like her parents were so many years ago. Rarely, she got into a fight with her peers. "Anita the Perfectionist" was what most students older than she was called her. While it seemed true, it really wasn't.[break]
[break]
Anita was awful with her grades. She barely passed exams, even if she studied hard the week leading up to them. She was clumsy with her in-class potion-making, getting materials all over the desks instead of in the cauldron. It was during those moments where her inner insanity showed. Most times, the girl was nearly running out of the classroom - all because something went wrong. If she could break down while something happened that wasn't supposed to, it would be fine. What else could happen? Everything already did.[break]
[break]
Currently: Seventh Year[break]
House: Hufflepuff[break]
[break]
Let's see what happens this year. Who knows? Maybe everything will come together. Instead of going one way, things will go in the opposite direction. And that would be a good thing.
