"Hang on, why does it say that my last name, and my parents names aren't known?" I asked confused.
"Well this may be because who you have thought to be your mother and father, aren't actually your biological parents. Unless you know, it will not be recorded but as soon as you find out, it automatically goes on. Also you will inherit their lines."
"So I'm actually Aurora No-Name?"
"Correct"
"Is there a way that I can get a last name?" I slowly said.
"The only way in the wizarding world that you can change or adopt your last name is if your guardian says so if you are underage, and if you are a direct descendant to that line. Because of your lineage, you will be highly respected among your peers."
"Ok. Which line to you recommend I claim?"
"Hufflepuff" the goblin said immediately. "People will underestimate you because Hufflepuffs are looked at as weak since their symbol is a badger. This is not actually the case. It is the people whom are hardworking and loyal that are placed in that house. I would suggest claiming all lines but going by the last name of Hufflepuff. You can always change it later ion."
"Right, ok." As if some magical force overcame me, words started flowing out of my mouth before I knew it. "I, Aurora No-name, hereby claim to be the sole heiress of the Merlin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Hogwarts lines, and adopt the last name of Hufflepuff as the rightful heiress of the line. So mote it be." A gold band surrounded be and entered my body. A ring appeared on my hand and Ragnok explained that it was the Hufflepuff Lady ring. I could state the name of any of the lines that I have claimed and that lines ring would replace the one on my hand. I also could make it disappear and make it only visible to me. He also offered me one piece of advice. Do not trust the Headmaster. With that, the old goblin bid be safe travels and before I knew it, I was back in my cupboard.
A couple of months had passed and I was happier than ever. Ragnok had taken off the hate charm that had been applied to my relatives and they were appalled at how they had treated me. I moved into Dudley's second bedroom and he actually hadn't minded. I think that the charm had made him a spoilt little shit as well. Anyway, I had continued my training, and Dudley had helped me. To my surprise, on my birthday, Dudley had received a Hogwarts letter. Petunia and Vernon were so proud and I jumped for joy. I wasn't going alone! We had gone into Diagon Alley and gotten both of us a wand and our books. Petunia had gone off somewhere and sent an owl to Hogwarts telling them that we had accepted. I had come to realise Dudley wasn't actually a bully, the charm had made him violent and now, he was as calm as ever. He began training with me and before we knew it, we were on the Hogwarts Express.
Voices of children saying goodbye to their parents and relatives echoed through Kings Cross. I found a compartment empty and Dudley and I sat in it. We were chatting about what we thought Hogwarts would be like when a young boy that looked around our age came strutting in with two guys behind him which looked like body guards.
"Who are you?" the blonde one rudely said.
"Business" I replied.
"What?"
"Business, as in none of your business." He sneered and left us alone in search of someone else to be a smart mouth to.
"What's up his arse?" Dudley asked me.
"Beats me" We had little conversations as minutes turned into hours. Finally after 6 hours of being on the train, a older boy came around who was wearing a badge saying 'Prefect'.
"You might want to get changed now, we will be be arriving at Hogwarts in five minutes." We nodded at him and he carried on with his duties. We stripped down, and got into our robes, and before we knew it, we were in the boat, gazing up at a castle that had light pouring out of her windows, illuminating the lake. I stopped paying attention and Dudley just led me everywhere. After I came out of my day dreaming, a hat at the front of the hall started singing.
Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can top them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a steady mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!
But wait there's more don't turn your backs
There is a student in disguise.
Be careful to which side you are loyal to,
Because the Hogwarts Champion has arrived!
Mutters of confusion flooded the Great Hall as everyone was sure that the Hat had never said anything like that. And what was this 'Hogwarts Champion' that it spoke of. Professor McGonagall seemed to see that the noise was increasing from the chatter and decided to start the sorting.
"Hush please! Now, I will place the Sorting Hat onto your heads once you are called forward and it will decide which house you ought to be in." McGonagall said.
"Abbot, Hannah"
The hat was on her head for around ten seconds before it shouted its decision.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" Everyone clapped and more names were called out.
"Boot, Terry"
"RAVENCLAW!"
I tuned out for a bit until I felt an arm brush past me. Dudley was going up. He shakily sat on the stool and gave me a weak smile before the Hat was placed on his head. It fell over his eyes and it took a minute for the hat to call out a name.
"RAVENCLAW!"I clapped louder than everyone, pleased that he got into the house he had wanted. After a while, the name 'Potter, Aurora' came up. I decided not to go up as technically that wasn't my name. They moved on, confused when I was the last one left. I explained that my name was no longer Potter but Hufflepuff. It was funny because I acted all innocent and pretended I didn't know what was going on.
"Oh I see, well if you would just sit on the stool and be sorted please dear." McGonagall said. I nodded and sat on the stool with the Hat on my head.
"My my, Miss Hufflepuff or should i say Lady Hogwarts." He chuckled when he felt me tense but not show any emotion bestow upon my face. "Don't worry, your secrets are safe with me. You have to be the hardest one I have ever sorted. Hmm, well you are as cunning as a Slytherin, loyal as a Hufflepuff, intelligent as a Ravenclaw, and as brave as a Gryffindor. But where do I put you? Do I put you with your cousin? Do I put you where your mother or your father was? Or do I put you in the remaining house? Your decision. But choose wisely. Cousin, Mother, Father, or the remaining house? They are four different houses, but only one would suit you." I thought for a moment. I didn't really want to go where my cousin was so I could meet new people. I also didn't want to be overshadowed with my parents reputation. So that left the remaining house. Meh, what the hell.
"Remaining house please" The hat agreed to my decision, but didn't say which was the better suiting house, or anything about my parents which was what I'd been hoping for. I closed my eyes when the name of the house was called out.
"Better be..."
Muahahahaha cliffy! Sorry if there are any mistakes, I have no Beta. What is your opinion on which house you think Aurora will be in? And just for fun, try and guess ho her parents are and which houses they are in. You can count out Ravenclaw as Dudley is in it, so you have Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin to choose where Aurora is going to be placed, where her mother, and where her father was placed. Review please!
