Muggle born Gryffindor: Fucking study I guess.

Muggleborn Slytherin

I redid the sorting with my sister and I'm in Slytherin. Thing is, when I did it as a 13 year old I ended up in Ravenclaw. Anyways, my sorting has inspired me to share this original character I've come up with. I can't draw eloquently so I used a dress up game.

Name: Orisha 'Sasha' Nwaeze

Date of Birth: August 31st 1975

Ethnic: Black African British (Nigerian), Muggleborn

Potronous: Wolf

Familiar: Billie-Jean (Barn owl)

Wand: Dragon wing, Maple (I'm not an expert on wands)

Quotes: "That's the thing about wolves. They actually stay away from people, but if the time calls for it then they will attack."

"You'll come to find that I'm not very good at taking care of my socks, sir." - To Snape.

Orisha grew up in a Catholic household, to which she was regarded as the problem child due to her tendency to get in strange predicaments and the many times she was caught doing something bizarre, like turning flower petals into butterflies.

When Orisha's Hogwarts letter arrives her parents go into a frenzy and have her sent to her aunt's house, who is known as the family black sheep. It is then her family refuses to have any contact with her, leaving her entirely in her aunt's care.

Orisha's aunt tries her best with Orisha, and is even willing to spend more than enough on her. When doing supply shopping she meets her familiar, a Barn owl she names Billie-Jean due to having an MJ obsession.

The first person Orisha meets at Hogwarts is Percy, who gives her a rundown on all the houses during their boat ride towards the castle. At the sorting ceremony she watches as Percy and any other potential friend is sent to their houses. When it's her turn the hat shouts "SLYTHERIN" and the table she belongs to is awfully quiet and displeased.

Percy refuses to talk to her, and her housemates refuse to acknowledge her. She constantly questions Jesus about her situation and what this means for herself morally. She is able to make friends with Myrtle Warren, the ghost that hangs in the girls bathrooms.

Her head of house, Professor Snape, introduces her to Marcus Flint and Adrian Pucey who both have reluctantly agreed to look out for her. After a few weeks Percy starts talking to her again but explains why he's been avoiding her. Apparently she's in the 'evil' house, and it's full of people who hate her because of her blood type. She can't be trusted.

Orisha would spend her time borrowing books from the library, learning as many spells as she can and testing her own abilities. Improving her potion brewing, boosting her knowledge on magical creatures, charms, transfiguration, and some herbology. The only thing Orisha hasn't bothered to learn is anything to do with magical history. She isn't very good at flying and tries to create her own flying spells, and is unsuccessful.

One afternoon Snape slips a piece of paper on her desk that reads "Levicorpus". She tries the spell ,and while the results don't end well takes inspiration from it. She finally creates her flying spell, but keeps the knowledge to herself, getting rid of any evidence that she had created it.

As soon as Christmas rolls around she stays with her aunt and confides that she wants to leave Hogwarts. Her aunt discusses this with Dumbledore and they come to the agreement that Orisha would study each year for the first term before going back to the muggle world.

After graduating school she finds out that there's more to her family than she knew. Using her Hogwarts education, she spends her life living normally while being paid to do "small tasks".

She has no clue about the battle of Hogwarts when it goes down, but is unfazed about the events that transpired once she learns of it.
