Merlin was the worst servant ever because he didn’t know how to be one, so instead of just following orders he took care of Arthur like he’d do with someone he loved, getting to know the kind of person he was, treating Arthur the way he has always wanted to be treated (”All my life I’ve been treated as if I’m special. I just want to be treated like everyone else.”). It got to the point Arthur didn’t want to change him for a more efficient servant, and spent hours looking for him around the castle when Merlin didn’t go to wake him up.

HYPOTHETICALLY

hogwarts AU where Arthur is NOT sorted into Gryffindor, but is instead made a Hufflepuff to the astonishment of every single person in Britain 

Morgana mocks him for a full week, but it has the opposite effect and it turns Arthur into someone who is Super Aggressive About Hufflepuff Pride

everything is black and yellow. everything

he personally deals with other students harassing first-year Puffs

he inspires the House mantra BADGER BLOOD at quidditch games and when the yellow section get going it sounds like a war chant

his game tactics are ruthless and dangerous, and for the first time in a long time Hufflepuff’s quidditch team is taken seriously

his network of close friends spans all four houses, from Merlin and Morgana in Slytherin, to his fellow Hufflepuff Gwen, to Gryffindors Lancelot and Gwaine, to Ravenclaws Elyan and Leon

and by the time he graduates, no incoming student is ashamed to be sorted into Hufflepuff ever again

Lancelot:[in a crowd and can’t find Merlin] well this calls for drastic measures
Lancelot:[uses hands as a microphone] ARTHUR PENDRAGON IS A PRAT
Merlin:[across the room] WELL YOU’RE NOT WRONG
Lancelot: Ah, there he is.
