Chapter 1: Welcome to Hogwarts

[Houa POV]

"Find and fix what you have changed in this world. Love this world as your own and Love the people as yourself. That is the only way you will find strength to carry out to the end and come Home."

The man spoke in her mind while tilting her chin up so she could see his amethyst eyes, the only thing exposed on his covered face before sending a mental image to her.

Completely cloaked in the azure arabian sheik from head to toe, her mentor stepped back into the ornate seven pointed star seal outlined in the scriptures of their native language, "Find Fuseesongly, she has been given orders to brief you on your mission as well as the details of your return date."

Receiving the image of the said woman, Houasaying nodded and watched as a bright beam of light swallowed him whole, blinding and knocking her out.

Lying on the ground of the Forbidden Forest, she heard the rush and sounds of people in the distance and allowed sleep to claim her as she awaited those who would bring her to Hogwarts.

"I see you have awoken," a slim lady in her mid thirties stood with her dark hair tied up into a bun with a candle holder. She wore a simple button white blouse with a yellow and black striped bow attached at the collar and a long black dress that reached her ankles as she stood on her boots.

Gasping in recognition, Houasaying reached her hand out to the woman who took it to receive the transfer mental image of herself in her own mind.

"Yes, I am Fuseesongly, however, you must address me as your Aunt or Professor Songly here understood?" the woman's words echo in Houasaying's mind.

The young girl tightened her hold on their hands while looking into the woman's brown eyes to respond, "Yes."

"I came as soon as I saw the signal of your arrival. I will explain everything to you, but we must first get you situated here. Do not say anything about yourself. Let me do all the talking for the most part. Alright?"

"Yes, Aunt Songly."

"After Madame Cara has cleared you, we shall meet with the headmaster." The lady walked off and came back with the mediwitch who quickly overlooked her patient.

Nodding at the girl's recovery, Madame Cara stated, "You are good to go now Houa sweetie. Welcome to Hogwarts."

The petite girl smiled back at the kind matron, "Thank you very much Madame Cara. I'll be going now."

"Of course my dear."

"Thank you for helping my niece Lucille. See you in the staff meeting tomorrow morning," Aunt Songly bowed with a nod then walked out with Houasaying following close by.

"She called me Houa?" she couldn't help, but mentally questioned her now Aunt in the Wizarding World as they exit the infirmary.

The elder woman kept walking, "Houasaying, before we see the headmaster I must inform you that you will go by the name of Houa here and take my name Songly as your last name. You are my niece from my sister in law who is divorced and has passed away and I have taken you under my care. You wish to attend Hogwarts to learn more about your magical lineage denied to you. Understood?"

Trying to memorize everything her supposedly Aunt just mentioned, the young girl nodded.

"We must give it our best shot with the Headmaster to secure your attendance here. If we succeed I will explain further details given to me by your mentor after the meeting."

"Yes, I will do my best."

The two women hurried towards the Headmaster's office.

"Welcome dear. I am Professor Dippet, headmaster here at Hogwarts. You made it in the nick of time. We just concluded our first evening for the new school term. Though it remains to be seen if you shall join us here at Hogwarts, I want to check how you are since you passed out while apparating here?"

"Apparating?" Houa looked at her hands instead of her Aunt to not give anything away.

"It's the same thing as teleporting," the information came quickly into Houa's mind from her Aunt.

"Good sir. Madame Cara is very attentive," Houa replied from her arm chair beside her Aunt and saw that her file was open on his desk.

"And how are you finding the campus so far as well Professor Songly?" He turned to her Aunt unaware of the mental conversation between the two women.

"Very well headmaster. I am exceptionally looking forward to teaching Muggle Studies this year."

"Excellent. Well then let's get started. Now then I was informed by the Ministry of Magic that you were thought to be a Squib until recently Miss Songly? What makes you suddenly want to partake in magical realms and schools not of your nature?"

Houa's heart raced, lost at how to answer, "Squib? What is that?"

"Squib is a non magical person born into a magical family," her Aunt replied mentally before interjecting out loud, "Headmaster if I may start first?"

"You may," the old wizard ran his hands through his long white beard.

"My sister in law was thought to be a Squib and married a muggle man and the two divorced within two years after Houa's birth. She raised Houa all by herself and had no intention of introducing magic to her. However, after her death three years ago, I took Houa under my care and realized she is profoundly gifted.

I began educating her in some of the magical courses in which she remarkably excelled in. Although it is too late for her to enroll in any magical institutions, we decided to have her take her O.W.L. just to see how she would perform last year.

The following classes listed are those in which she received O's in. I have petitioned with the Ministry of Magic to allow her a chance to have her final year at Hogwarts in hopes she may experience and recover part of her magical lineage which may have been lost and forcibly withheld from her.

The Ministry of Magic has given their consent however, the impending decision is yours to make Headmaster."

Her Aunt finished slightly out of breath yet retained her calm features at the elder wizard who stopped touching his beard to clasp his hands together.

"Hmm...I understand the situation Professor Songly, however, I am curious as to what Miss Songly thoughts are on the matter? Does she want this?"

"I'll leave this part to you," Aunt Songly eyed Houa.

Understanding immediately that her attendance at Hogwarts is the major key to unravel what she has brought upon this world, Houa took a deep breath before standing up, heart in her voice.

"Please sir, I want this more than I have anything else in my life. For once, I am closer to discovering who I truly am and what I am capable of. I want to surpass and go beyond everything I originally thought possible so that someday I may aid the Wizarding World and the Muggle World, even if that aid may be small. And the only way to do that is to show up as my best."

I hope that was good enough...please don't ask more questions.

"Miss Songly, you do understand that you are so far behind in the curriculum, I cannot grant you commencement upon completion of this year?" the aged wizard serious eyes gazed into her very own.

Fisting her hands Houa replied, "I will not ask for recognition. I am only asking for a chance to experience, to learn, to grow, to know myself. That is all sir."

Silence hung in the air until Houa felt a flush of satisfaction from her Aunt and admiration from the headmaster.

"Well said then Miss Songly! Let's get on with the sorting then! What do you say ole hat?" The headmaster reached for the Sorting Hat and guided a relieved Houa over to the chair next to the bookshelf.

Houa sat on the indicated chair puzzled only to be entrance seconds later by the Sorting Hat as it began talking to her yet only faint mutter to others.

'Ah, brilliant young woman indeed you are. Travel far you've come and travel more you shall to uncover what you have lost and undo what you've caused. Loyal to this cause you are and patient to a fault, you shall reign with justice guided by your heart.'

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

The two Professors began clapping for Houa who could only stare in awe at the Sorting Hat. Before she could question the Hat further, the headmaster had removed it.

Settling back down into her seat, Aunt Songly spoke, "Such an honor to have you join my Hufflepuff family Houa. I, too, am in this house therefore feel free to ask if you should need anything."

"Like Aunt like Niece," chuckled Headmaster Dippet, "So now...the only other concern I have is your safety while studying magic here. Since you're still in the process of acquiring your magic it seems the Ministry of Magic have taken precautionary measures and placed a barrier charm on you. Because you are underage and notably a Squib more or less in the process of developing your magic, this charm will serve as a protection to you until you can readily use your magic. According to your file, this means that any magic or spells cast upon you will be nullified until you completely hone your magic abilities. An excellent strategy on the Ministry part therefore you shall be more than safe here to study."

Although confused, the now student could not pursue the matter further because her Aunt interrupted, "I'll be sure to explain this thoroughly to Houa as well."

"Wonderful. Well then I'll be sure to make an announcement to welcome our newest student at breakfast tomorrow."

At this the muggle professor faked her best smile, "Headmaster if I may, I believe an announcement would be a disservice to my Niece as it would draw attention to her already unique circumstances rather than allow her to adjust and befriend the student population. Perhaps it would be better to inform just the Professors instead of the entire school? What do you think Houa dear?"

Catching the hint Houa stated, "I agree with my Aunt, Headmaster Dippet. I would like to fit in with all the other students and have them accept me as one of them. Will that be alright?"

"So be it then," Headmaster Dippet nodded with a smile, "Well then I see there is no reason for me to keep you two up any longer."

Sensing the meeting had come to close, the new student stood up and bow slightly, "Thank you Aunt Songly and Thank you as well Headmaster for granting me this opportunity."

"Welcome to Hogwarts Miss Songly!" the elder wizard shook his newest pupil's hand.

TBC

As you can tell by Houa's mental communication with her Mentor & Aunt, she has abilities that differ those of the Wizarding World. There's a reason why I made her pose as a Squib. It will all be explained in the next ch.

Stay tuned and find out! :)
