Off to which house?

Hufflepuff

My feet carried me towards the kitchens. I found myself in Hufflepuff territory. As I neared the entrance to the cursed house. The Hufflepuffs began to notice me.

"What's he doing around here," they whispered?

I never figured how Hufflepuffs communicate with each other. I heard rumors of high pitched squeaking, crying, and even the releasing of pheromones. Yet none of these answers could explain how quickly the Hufflepuffs gathered as I approached the barrels surrounding their common area.

"You're not supposed to be here Idius," said one third year. Who cowered when I stared too harshly. It was true, that many of them didn't like me. I had seriously scared a few of the juniors after catching some of the barrels on fire... By accident of course.

I could see a couple six years watching as others freaked out. If they weren't concerned, then I shouldn't be.

I walked up to the barrels, and quickly found the one I needed, tapping on the barrel in the pattern of "Helga Hufflepuff." It opened, making the eyes of many onlookers widen in horror.

The Hufflepuff common area was cozy, with many soft couches, exotic greenery, and even a small stream running through it. I took a seat quickly, pouring myself a small cup of tea. My tremors from earlier were completely gone. I closed my eyes for a moment, taking in the fresh air, and peaceful quiet. I had to admit, they had it nice here.

"Idius Halfhwit," Demanded Cedric Diggory. I turned, knowing all peace was ruined. He stood defensive at the entrance. With two others beside him. Other Hufflepuffs sat around watching.

"With this kind of welcome Diggory," I said, "I truly feel at home now." I sipped the tea, which tasted like magic. The honey in it must have been harvested from this very room. I saw the people around Cedric tense up, but something in what I said gave him pause. He whispered to his friends, and they relaxed.

"What is it you are here for Idius," said Cedric, "It's too early for you to be causing trouble." Why was everyone telling me that?

The answer was simple. I was here for someone.

Who is Idius here for?
