Great little sketch. Please let me know if anyone ever does take this idea further!

Hufflepuff as assasins? That's gold! Imagine goody two shoes Cedric Diggory with full assassin garb. Or Susan Bones with a sweet smile and a gun machine at hand. Harry Potter petting Crooshanks on a swivel chair. Ron cackling in the background.

Hogwarts mafia. That has a good ring to it. Great story.

you want assassinations two words Cedric Diggory. Just imagine fourth year in the grave yard. "So you're Voldemort? Oh good... Master Potter put a hit out on you." He'd totally be Harry's number one assassine.

oh my gosh. . .that last paragraph. . .'because hufflepuffs are scary.' pfft.

OH MY GOD! this is perfect!

This is amazing. Has anyone decided to continue writing this?

LOL! Love it! wish there was more!

One issue (which I haven't written since i haven't written any HPfic to post) : the Mafia is what happens when Gryffindor goes Dark. What kind of cunning does it take to threaten shopkeepers into paying over protection money?

Oh, yes, Hufflepuffs are cool XD

Nice and short. And hilarious. I love it! My goodness, ingenious. Do keep writing!

Seriously, the Hufflepuffs _already_ run the Wizarding World, encourage the Gryffindors to go out for sports to distract them, give Ravenclaws all the books they want, and allow the Slytherins to inbreed themselves into extinction (and keep a keen eye on the less than pureblood Snakes, _they're_ the scary ones). It's because they smile so much that nobody notices.

LOL!

oh you got to write more.
