(Story will weave in and out of following the Harry Potter series, but not really and I only own the OC)
In 1976, Kari stared at the resignation letter she obtained in her fifth year of school wondering how it could happen, 'how could I have gotten kicked out of Howarth so quickly?' Kari wondered repeatedly in her mind as she waited for a train to come by Hogwarts to pick her up. She was in the end of her fifth year. Thinking about her years of school slipping by so quickly, already being 1976. Kari Rouge's thoughts interrupted by a screeching halt of the Hogwarts train stopping right before her. "Miss Rouge, your now going to be seen as a squib, informed in the ways of magic... But, you need to learn from a muggle source, not just the magic source." Albus Dumbledore explains sympathetically, his long white beard and soft expression being most memorable, like when you think someone is the imaginary 'Santa Claus', but still adore the similarity between someone real and not. Kari boards the train slowly, choosing to sit by the window in my former house. I could only think about all that had occurred in the time I was going to Hogwarts, a school for magic.
In 1971, Kari was just eleven years old, her dark violet hair hanging loosely around her shoulders and bangs framing her slight heart shaped face and canary yellow eyes. Kari followed the boy, she heard was called Potter, encouraged by her curiosity. 'Where is he going?' She questioned herself, only to figure asking. Finalizing her courage, or stupidity, she went quietly up to the Potter boy, but before she could really ask anything of the dark haired boy with glasses. Kari saw a boy with wavy brown, shoulder length hair come up to herself and Potter. "I'm Sirius Black..." he looks towards Akari, giving a slight smirk, "What is your name?" She did not think much of Black's question or actions, but looked at the brick wall between nine and ten station.
Being the gentleman, Sirius Black was he helped Kari to the Hogwarts train. Before she quickly went for her own way on the train, avoiding unwanted attention from people. Riding in a empty train car "What have I gotten myself into?" She whispers to herself, before curling against the train window for some sleep. Clinging to her dark blue sweater and shrinking against the wall, mumbling "They probably think I am shy, or mute... could work for me though..." before watching through the window the changing scenery, from a brick wall to oceanic like view and forests embracing the outer line of water.
~Time skip to Hogwarts~
Kari woke up to finally seeing what she assumed was hogwarts by how the many passengers were leaving their respective rooms on the train. Kari searched her small area for a makeshift robe to at least hide among the other students, but could not find much besides a spare cloth some student forgot about for their pet bird. Which, with a few small adjustments, made it go over her head like an awkward poncho with badly off angles. In a hall of Hogwarts, Kari could not see past the sea of people's heads of varied colors, from platinum blonde to ink black, as well as varied length. She did not look towards anyone, just towards her feet and whispering inaudible so no one could hear her. But, her attention drifted up towards a woman in dark attire called, McGonagall. The woman appeared like a scarecrow, tall and scary with her skin tight in either a small taut frown or smile. McGonagall's voice carried throughout the hall with resonance and a strong authority in her voice.
After listening to the drone of rules, Kari Rouge followed all the students to the great hall. Which, the great hall had long rows of tables extending from the entrance to the front near a shorter table that is horizontal in her point of view. But, in front of the horizontal table where most of the teachers took their places was a single chair facing back towards herself. Releasing a deep sigh, Kari did not know she held neither did she want to know what involuntarily caused it to happen, while watching the woman head close to the single chair. Everyone crowded into the room, waiting and murmuring amongst themselves, meeting new people in a new environment entirely. Kari listened to people being called off towards the single chair to be settled in their own houses. James Potter and Sirius Black, along with many others went into Gryffindor house. While some were sent to Slytherin house, a boy with a curtain of inky black hair that seemed to hang at his shoulders and a coloring to his skin, rivaling a ghosts' complexion, called Severus Snape and a few other students as well. When Kari Rouge was called up to the stool, as the last student standing and whom has not claimed a house yet.
Kari Rouge sat on the stool feeling her whole body shiver and seem to heat up, like a soda pop and the bubbles collecting near the top, but to the point she assumed her whole face was red. It did not stop as the teacher figure McGonagall laid a rather old hat upon her head.
"Please let me pass..." Is all I could mentally ask, feeling the heat of my blush enhance, "I want to pass..." only to hear a strange airy laughter above me, like it hardly could gain any real air to strengthen the laugh itself. "Why are you pretending, well, from what I have from your personality and behavior..." the strange hat's voice from above her head hummed in thought. Until the strange, soft hat spoke again, "Kari Rouge, your creative gestures of clothing and thinking about everything can place you in Ravenclaw rather easily, but your personality seems to work for both Hufflepuff and RavenClaw..." the hat huffing and puffing over Kari, finally announces "This lady goes to House Ravenclaw!" Before the hat was removed and she quickly went towards the table row of her own house.
