Smoke Knights are EXPECTED by their family to be in Hufflepuff. They are pitied by other Hufflepuffs, because THEIR LOYALTY WAS GIVEN AWAY AT BIRTH! THEY NEVER GOT TO CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES! More than one Smoke Knight has found themselves pulled aside by a senior to be told: yes, I know your loyalty has been promised to another, but you still get a choice. And if you decide to choose another, know that you have our support. Mechanicsburg kids are seen as a Lost Cause.
