A Gryffindor In Hufflepuff
Summary: My friends always tell me that if Harry Potter were real than I would be in Hufflepuff, but I can have a bit of a Gryffindor attitude. Because of that I got the idea of what I would do if I were at The Battle of Hogwarts.

Rachael was a Third Year Hufflepuff at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Well at least she was until Lord Voldemort a.k.a You-Know-Who took over the school and her mother pulled her out. She lived in Hogsmead with her mom and her brother. Now although Rachael was in Hufflepuff her friends and mother told her that she had a bit of a "Gryffindor Streak" in other words she may be quiet but she didn't take shit from no-one, was cheeky and didn't know when to shut up. So when she heard Voldemort's voice demanding that the people in Hogwarts hand over Harry Potter she knew that the final battle was about to begin.
And screw personal safety this was bigger than all of Hogsmead combined this was about the safety of the world!
She grabbed her wand (13 inches with unicorn hair oak and almost never polished) and ran downstairs pulling her yellow cloak on over her Muggle Tinkerbell T-Shirt as she went. Her mother stepped out of the kitchen with her brother "Where do you think you're going?" her mother demanded. "Hogwarts" said Rachael simply opening the door.
"WHAT!" her mother yelled "No! It's too dangerous you're thirteen!" Rachael sighed and turned to her mom. "Mom" she said "I'm really sorry about this." She raised her wand "Petrificus Totalous!"
Her mom fell to the floor while her brother looked on in shock. Rachael walked out the door and bumped into her friend in Ravenclaw Matthew "Where are you going?" Rachael asked.
"Hogwarts" said Matthew "Thomas said something about a passage-way in the Hogs Head." And with that the young boy raced ahead to catch up with the others.
"OY RACHAEL!" someone yelled. Rachael turned and saw her Gryffindor friend Tanya racing towards her. She was wearing a blue and gold cloak and Muggle clothes underneath. "Goin' to Hogwarts too?" she asked when she caught up to Rachael. At Rachael's nod she grinned "Brilliant" she said "We can't let the adults have all the fun can we?" They ran to the Hogs Head and heard many voices coming from upstairs. When they walked upstairs they saw First Years, Seconds Years, fellow Third Years, Fourth Years, Fifth Years and Sixth Years. Even a few Seventh Years and all of Slytherin House. The two girls glared at the Slytherins and walked over to a boy they recognised as Zacharias Smith a Hufflepuff that Rachael thought belonged in Slytherin.
"Oy Zach" said Tanya "Where's the passage way?" Zacharias stared down at them "It's none of your business" he said "You two aren't of age." Rachael shrugged. "We've only got four more years" she said but Zacharias shook his head "No way" he said "I'm not telling you!" "The passage is over here!" someone said. It was a sixth year Gryffindor. Colin Creevey. He had opened a painting over the fire place and was half way through it. "You girls coming?" he asked. Rachael and Tanya ran over to him ignoring Zacharias' protests and Colin helped them into the passage.
They emerged in The Room of Requirement. Colin showed them the way out and they came out on the ground floor. People were running, fighting and screaming. The Battle of Hogwarts had begun. Colin ran off to help a girl named Lavender Brown while Rachael and Tanya ran over to two Death Eaters- Dolohov and Yaxley. Rachael grinned.
Hufflepuff or not she was far from weak and she was about to show them. Hey just because she wasn't from the house of bravery didn't mean she couldn't kick ass.
A/N: This is what myself and Tanya (97chuckles) always said we would do if we were in the Battle of Hogwarts. Please tell me what you think ;)
