Robinia is almost every Hogwarts student's idea of the perfect Hufflepuff: loyal, honest, friendly, hardworking, and accepting.
No one but the Slytherins could possibly dislike her. The little badgers were certain of it.
Robinia herself was perfectly happy with her peaceful school life: excellent grades and good relationships with everyone.
If all went well, she would save up enough money before graduation to continue her studies at a Muggle university, or stay on at Hogwarts as a teacher.
That was her plan, anyway.
Until fifth year, when Robinia uncovered a secret.
The rat kept by her friend's younger brother was actually an Animagus, and its secret led to a wrongful conviction from twelve years ago.
From then on, she somehow found herself caught up in a string of dangerous events that were completely at odds with her original plans.
Of course, an honest little badger never fears the oppression of the powerful.
Robinia: No one can hurt my friends in front of a Hufflepuff. Not even the Dark Lord.
Despite a few unexpected twists, Robinia is still perfectly happy with her life, because she has a group of brave and accepting friends by her side.
Though it would be even better if her friends would stop giving her those strange looks?
1. A happy ending for everyone
2. Probably an all-pairings story, with different endings for different couples (Severus, Cedric, and Ron will not be split up)
3. A prominent romance, full of sweet everyday moments
Theme: Honesty and loyalty, and facing danger without fear
