Hekkie Gets Sorted

I apologize for the slight delay. I meant to have this up yesterday, but the stupid document manager thing kept going blank. Stupid server.


For some completely illogical reason, Hekkie was never sorted. So on the next day, Dumbledore got the Sorting Hat out and yelled, "HEKATE LURLINA NESSAROSE!"

Hekate skipped her way down the Great Hall and sat on the stool, her gorgeous lavender hair cascading down her back and to the floor. Dumbledore set the Sorting Hat on her head, hoping that this wouldn't take very long.

"Hmmm… difficult. Very difficult. More difficult than you could ever diffi with your cult. Or your mom's cult. Hmmm." The Sorting Hat murmured.

About an hour later, after the jury Dumbledore hired to help the Sorting Hat left, the hat came to a solution.

"You're selfish, cruel, obnoxious, crabby, psychotic, courageous, beautiful, clever, noble, perfect, and a snot. This, as you know, took a lot of thought. My jury and I have come to a solution. You, Hekate Lurlina Nessarose the Eighteenth, have joined the house of… HUFFLEPUFF!"

"WHAT? I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SLYTHERIN!" Hekkie began to foam at the mouth. It did nothing to detract from her beauty. Her gorgeous eyes – they seemed iridescent, though normally they gradually fade from bright ember to blood red to sapphire blue. It was as if they were rings of color braided together. It was quite a sight to see.

"No you weren't. You're a bloody Hufflepuff, so siddown and SHADDUP!" The Sorting Hat snapped.

The boys at the Hufflepuff table, including the ghost of Cedric Diggory, drooled. Hekate spat on their faces. The boys continued to drool. With Hekkie's spit on their faces.

"So, like, Hekate, what's your backstory? We SO need to know. Spill everything!" Two preppy Hufflepuff girls were hyperventilating when Hekkie sat down next to them.

"Well, first off, the name's Hekkie, and second, it's really long. Do you really want to know?" she asked.

"Yeayeayeayeayeayeayeayeayea!" the girls hyperventilated some more.

"OK. Well, it all started back when I was a baby. I lived in a cardboard box outside Privet Drive. That's where Potter over there lives." Hekkie pointed in Harry's direction. Harry fluttered his eyelashes, gasped, and fainted.

"What a pansy." The Hufflepuff boy nearest Hekkie muttered. The other boys nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, after my mom died in a freak accident, my dad went insane and abused me every day. I've broken my ribs about thirty times in one year. That's how bad it was."

Hekkie turned to face the rest of the table. Everyone had been bawling their eyes out at Hekkie's tragic story. "Oh, don't worry, it gets better," she reassured them.

"Right, abuse. OK, then when I was three, a modeling agency was coming through town, and one of the agent people stepped out of their limousine and offered my dad a contract. They said if they could keep me until age 11, they would give my dad a ginormous stack of money so he could live a better life. So my dad accepted, and now he lives next door to the Dursleys. Funny how that works."

"Wow, that was some story. You must be forever grateful that the modeling agency saved your life." The lead Hufflepuff girl said.

"Psh, as if. I didn't need their help." Hekkie tossed her hair back. "Toss, toss."

"Hey, Hekkie, do your eyes normally do that?" The Hufflepuff boy next to her said, pointing at Hekkie's now transforming eyes. They were turning black.

"What, turn colors? Yeah. It's like a mood ring. What color are they now?" Hekkie asked.

"Black." Everyone said.

"Oh. I like it when my eyes turn black. It's so… mystifying. Hey, what class do we have next?" Hekkie asked the group.

"Double Potions with Gryffindor. You get to see Potterkins and them all. Plus you get to meet Snape."

"Sweet. All right, let's go." Hekkie and the Hufflepuffs left the table and made their way to the dungeon.


I hadn't decided when this story took place when I originally wrote it, but now it's during OOtP, as Cedric is dead and Dumbles is not. I hope this satisfied the quest for a physical description and backstory. :)
