HOO CHARACTERS IN HOGWARTS
♧ BACKGROUND AND SORTING♧
In Pjo Annabeth has been on her own since a very young age. That struggle of hers has shaped her to be the way she is, strict and disciplined.
To respect that I'm gonna go with the idea of, her and a couple other young witches and wizards ending up in the coutryside, where most of the common wizarding folk reside in America.
They grew up under the guidance of an ex Hogwarts Professor. A witch who happens to be one of the most reknowned opposers of the Dark Lord. She is very old, and is cut off from England since she beleives that Voldemort isn't dead. She is a woman of discipline , and guides these little witches and wizards into prioritizing self respect , knowledge and the art of gaining authority over others.
Basically a little Nomadic sort of Boarding school type arrangement with 11 kids in total. They had to move from town to town. They were registered as a legit family under the foster care system as well- so Annabeth's gaurdian (the professor) was in fact, legal. So this is how Annabeth grows up. Quite frequently on the move, and always honing her skills that would help her surviving atrocities. Annabeth often grew up fantasizing about Defeating Voldemort herself.
Her dad and her mom were both magic people. Their ideals didn't match, and her mom had left her at her dad's doorstep.
Annabeth doesn't dislike her dad at all, it just happens that he married a muggle who hates magicfolk. They adopted kids, hence her step brothers and sisters are muggles.
The household became very uncomfortable. Her dad had lied , and told his new wife that he was a muggle(non magic)
But little Annabeth couldn't be possibly capable of hiding her magic at such a young age. It became obvious when the glass window shattered during a heated argument between her step mom and herself.
The paranoia of her step mom, and her dad staying quiet at the abuse , forced Annabeth to flee from her own home and become an orphan.
There after she met her new gaurdian, and so started her found family.
Annabeth gets sorted into...🥁🥁🥁
With her immense wisdom and bossy persona you would imagine her to be in Ravenclaw. Honestly, I imagine the sorting hat must have taken about 3 -4 minutes to get a conclusion since Annabeth is not at all by any means simple. Like Harry, she was also begging the hat to not put her in Slytherin. But;
▪︎ Her ambition is severe. Her prime aim is -to find out how Voldemort gained all these powers. And why Harry Potter lived.
▪︎ She is thoroughly judgemental. This happens to be very prevalent among Slytherins actually. It isn't necessarily a bad thing. Reading people's intentions starts out by judging the fuck out of them. So thats what she does.
▪︎She deeply hates the house she's been put in. The Professor that was her gaurdian for most of her life, was herself a Hufflepuff. Annabeth would definitely be drawn to Ravenclaws, because of how their clique is so professional and mysterious.
▪︎ On top of that, she hates Voldemort. So getting into his house was not a good start in her head.
▪︎ I imagine that Slytherins are not ALL bad. There definitely has to be a group of people that don't like being put in the box Slytherin is associated with, y'know people look at them with suspicion. Even if they genuinely are against Voldemort.
▪︎ Annabeth is leader of that little clique. Intelligent students from other houses can actually recognise how different Annabeth is. And hence she ends up being friends with a couple other Ravenclaws and Gryffindors. (Hufflepuffs in general don't take chances with Slytherins)
