Her loyal and hard-working personality could easily see her in Hufflepuff, but she’s also extremely creative and curious. Finally, the eleven-year-old Zipporah decides that it’s no use having smarts if you’re not hard-working enough to utilize them so the hat puts her in Hufflepuff.

      Her best subject quickly proves to be Herbology, though she’s good in the rest of her classes, too. She also becomes fast friends with another girl in her year, Theodosia Ellis. They bond over being artistic souls and hippies.
