“We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.”
This post contains my reasoning for Abby’s Hogwarts House, wand and patronus, as well as a few snippets about her life during her school years, and as an adult.
I love discussing this au - feel free to comment and add your own thoughts.
ABIGAIL GRIFFIN (née WALTERS):
WAND: Beech Wood, Phoenix Feather Core, supple flexibility, 10 inches.
A true match for a beech wand, when fully-grown, will be rich in understanding and experience. Beech wands perform weakly for the narrow-minded and intolerant. When properly matched, the beech wand is capable of a subtlety and artistry rarely seen in any other wood.
Phoenix feather is the rarest core type. Wands made with phoenix feather cores are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer to reveal their true strength. They show the most intuitive, and are the pickiest when it comes to potential owners. Their allegiance is hard won.
HOGWARTS HOUSE SORTING: Slytherin
After she sat under The Sorting Hat for more than five minutes, and was declared a Hatstall, eleven year old Abigail Walters chose Slytherin House.
Although she shares the boldness and unwavering nerve of those sorted into Gryffindor (where both her husband, Jake, and her daughter, Clarke are placed), what Abby values most of all is the people she loves. She does have a strong moral centre, which is certainly a Gryffindor-like trait, however, what sets her apart from Jake and Clarke is: where they are, more often than not, willing to sacrifice their friends and family for the greater good, it seems that is the line Abby refuses to cross. When thrown into extreme life or death situations, Abby has been known to part with what she feels is the ‘right’ thing to do for the majority, in order to save the ones she holds closest to her heart.
She’s certainly not afraid to put herself in danger, and that’s where her Gryffindor recklessness often shines through, but ultimately, the one thing Abby values above anything else, is her people. It’s what makes her a strong ally, and an outstanding mother and friend.
Abby’s ‘why’ - her centre, what she values most - is very Slytherin. Loyalty and determination. Her ‘how’ - her action used to accomplish her intentions - is often more Gryffindor based. Although she is plenty cunning, and can adapt and appear more subtle when necessary, she often charges head first into action.
In the end, it’s her love and loyalty for her inner circle, as well as her determination and ability to adapt to situations that wins out, placing her in Slytherin House.
NOTE: You can read more about the reasoning behind this sorting, here.
PATRONUS: Fox*
The fox is a charismatic animal. They are strongly ambitious and observant of the behaviour of others, watching key points in what others do and storing them for further reference, when they may need them. They are good talkers, meaning they can convince people to do what they want. Those with a fox as their patronus tend to be adaptable to change, but it can take a lot to get them to give up their beliefs.
*it should be noted that at the age of forty-one, Abby Griffin became unable to conjure a fully formed patronus, after the death of her first husband, Jake Griffin. It took just over a year to regain her ability to do so.
ILVERMORNY HOUSE SORTING: Pukwudgie
If Abby had ever attended Ilvermorny, it’s fair to assume that she would have found her home in Pukwudgie. The house that represents the Heart, and favours Healers.
OTHER INFORMATION AND HEADCANONS THAT FIT THIS AU:
During her time at Hogwarts, Abby Griffin was appointed a Prefect, and in her seventh year became Head Girl (much to Diana Sydney’s displeasure).
Although she was never a fan of playing Quidditch, Abby loved to cheer on her boyfriend Jake (Gryffindor Keeper) and her friends Callie Cartwig (Ravenclaw Chaser) and Marcus Kane (Ravenclaw Beater) from the stands.
Abby was extremely academic, with a speciality in Potions and Transfiguration. After passing her NEWTs with flying colours, she trained to be a Healer. She left her job at St. Mungos rather abruptly, as she was recruited by the Ministry of Magic at the age of 23, to train as an Auror during the first war. This was due to her unrivalled skills in jinxes and healing magic, that were deemed essential to the fight against Rebecca Riddle and The Dark Rebellion.
During the first rise of You-Know-Who, both Jake and Abby Griffin joined the Order of the Phoenix. Other members included: Jacob Griffin Sr. (who founded the organisation in 1971), Alice and Augustus Walters (Abby’s parents), Vincent Vie, Callie Cartwig, Marcus Kane, Indra Woods, Fabian and Jacapo Sinclair, David Miller and, later, Eric Jackson.
Mere months after the prophecy, which spoke of the girl born at the end of November, who’s mother had thrice defied The Red Witch, and who would bring about her downfall, was foretold, Abby discovered she was pregnant.
Knowing that she had managed to refuse Rebecca Riddle three times, Abby feared that her unborn child was in danger. She and Jake went into hiding, and their home in Godric’s Hollow was placed under the Fidelius Charm, with Marcus Kane chosen as Secret Keeper.
Clarke Griffin was born and kept safe, and Rebecca Riddle grew impatient. A year later, in November 1981, Aurora Blake had her second child. She, like Abby, had refused You-Know-Who three times. Five months after, Aurora was killed, and Octavia Blake was saved by her mother’s love. She became The Girl Who Lived.
Abby continued to work at the Ministry, and Clarke attended Hogwarts.
In 1994, she attended the Quidditch World Cup with Marcus Kane, Clarke and some of her friends. She spent a lot of time monitoring the Tri-Wizard Tournament when Octavia Blake’s name was pulled from the Goblet of Fire.
Jake was killed after The Order arrived at the Department of Mysteries, where You-Know-Who had lured Octavia and her friends with a vision of Bellamy and Abby being tortured for information. Clarke was fifteen years old.
Abby, Marcus, Sinclair, David, Jackson and Indra fought alongside the second generation, which included Clarke Griffin, Bellamy and Octavia Blake, Raven Reyes, Jasper Jordan, Monty Green, Lexa Woods, Lincoln Woods, John Murphy, Harper McIntyre, Nathan Miller, Echo Frost, and the other members of ‘The Delinquents’, when You-Know-Who rose again.
After the second war, in May 1998, Abby Griffin was chosen as Acting Minister of Magic. She remained in the position until May 1st 1999, when Marcus Kane was officially elected. She continued to work at the Ministry as an Auror, and decided to make a home with Marcus in Vera Kane’s old family house, The Burrow; a place that had served as a safe house in both wars.
They live there together with Clarke and Octavia (Bellamy lives with his wife, Raven, in Shell Cottage on the outskirts of Timworth.)
Still, the house is never quiet, and that’s just how Abby likes it. Everyone is happy.
All was well.

Such a beautiful game, but the struggle is real!
