A Hope through time

Hope was somewhat upset when it finally hit the 1st of September since she was able to focus mainly on her own studies of returning home, but she was also excited to start fresh at a new school where no one knew who she was or what her family had done in the past.

Hope had all of her school gear packed into her trunk since the previous night, shrunken and placed into her mother's oversized leather jacket. Bringing a small semblance of comfort to the young Tribrid.

Within the time Hope has been in this universe she had learned some advanced healing spells from Perenelle, some Alchemy from Nicolas and Potions from both of them when either of them had the time to teach her. Hope was also able to use her spare time to go over some more political rules and insights through her Emrys Codex, even though it bored her to death.

Hope also visited the Greengrass Farm multiple times and spoke with Annabeth a few times in passing before she went to spend the day with Daphne but something was bothering Hope when she spoke to Mrs Greengrass, like the older woman was hiding some secret from her. Hope became fast friends with the hypergentic Astoria, so after the youngest Greengrass heard about Hope's drawing of her sister she practically demanded one of her own off Hope. Hope chuckled before shrugging in mock surrender at the other girl's request and painted a picture of the small brunette to give to Astoria over the next couple of days which made the 9 year old girl very happy.

When Hope spent time with Daphne she was divided in how to act around the other girl. Wishing to avoid getting too close to Daphne so her Wolf didn't become over excited by her Mate's presence and demanding them to accept the Mate bond. But there was something magnetic about the two girls that kept drawing them closer over the last month as they talked and made some art together.

Hope and Daphne became very close friends. Hope thought that this friendship would've been her most effortless and momentous relationship she's ever had that doesn't include her family or one that she was forced into due to circumstance.

Daphne had explained to Hope about three days ago that she would start acting coldly again towards her once they got to school and won't speak to her as Daphne will have to act as a Pureblood Heiress much to her chagrin.

Hope hid her anger at this information until she got back home and went for a run for a full day in wolf form, feeling the need to let out all her anger at how Daphne has to act for the sake of social and political standing. Her Wolf wanted to tear into the Wizengamot and possibly Daphne's parents for enforcing that rule onto their own daughter but the thought of harming the Greengrass' made her Wolf whimper sadly, knowing her actions could hurt her Mate.

When Hope came back to the Flamel Cottage she was greeted by two worried faces. Hope felt bad for making them worry about her, but she also didn't want to talk to them about it either so she just told them that it was a Werewolf thing before walking off into her room for a hot shower.

Hope talked to Myrddin about Daphne and her involvement in this universe. Once again contemplating if she was a cosmic mistake. The black Phoenix sighed before flying over to sit on Hope's shoulder while singing some song to try and cheer up the depressed and self-loathing Tribrid.

Hope had decided to inform the Flamel's of the events that would happen during her 1st year of Hogwarts. The warning about the 3rd floor corridor during the Welcoming Feast, Voldemort's shade posing as Professor Quirrell, the Troll incident on Halloween, Harry receiving Death's Cloak for Christmas, the Mirror of Erised and the trials the Professors had made to guard the Philosopher's Stone.

The Flamel's and Hope came up with plans for these events. Hope is to ignore the 3rd floor corridor, Quirrell and the Mirror until Harry, Ron and Hermione go through the trials in May. Once Hope explained the Troll, they told her not to interfere with this event either.

There's obviously nothing to do about the Cloak, but she mentioned that the Golden Trio will look into Nicolas Flamel which they suggest she include herself in, so the Golden Trio would ask her for help.

Hope just grinned and shook her head in amusement. "What should I tell them? Oh, Nicolas Flamel is an immortal who looks like he's in his low 40's rather than the frail old man he's always depicted as in the history books and interestingly enough, he's also my guardian along with his wife Perenelle, who by the way, is alive and well." The Tribrid bantered cheekily with the immortal Alchemist.

"Ha ha." Nicolas said in an unimpressed monotone voice.

"But seriously, don't do that." Nic mentioned with a roll of his eyes.

"Nah. Too much fun not telling anyone." Hope replied with a crooked grin.

A thought crossed Hope's mind as she decided to ask Nic. "Why did you give Dumbledore your Philosopher's Stone?"

Nic sighed slightly as he realised the series of events that he unknowingly and unwillingly put into motion by loaning his Stone to his former student. "Honestly, I thought Albus was going to study the Stone and possibly uncover a different method of extracting the Elixir of Life."

Hope regarded the immortal man in confusion. "Why did you need another method? Is the method you're both using now flawed?"

Hope heard a sniffle come from Nelle as she turned away and walked into the hallway before shutting her bedroom door closed.

Hope looked exceedingly awkward and guilty as she turned back to a sad Nicolas. "Did I say something wrong? I'm sorry."

Nic took a deep almost shuddering breath as he tried to regain his composure before replying. "It's not your fault Hope. You were merely curious as most people are."

"But yes. The Elixir is flawed, as you guessed. Nelle and I may be immortal but it came at a great cost to us. We are unable to have children of our own."

"The Elixir made both of you sterile." Hope completed with a depleted frown on her face as some comments she overheard on her arrival to this universe finally made sense.

"I'm sorry Nic." Hope replied with tears in her eyes as she walked into her own room for some privacy as she recollected all the spells from her universe to see if she could help them. Unfortunately since she's only seen 2 Grimoires in her life, her aunt Freya's and her grandmother's. Neither of them had the spells or rituals she required to help the Flamel's, causing her to scream in annoyance and anger as she strode outside conjuring knives into her hands and threw them into trees. Embedding the blades all the way down to the hilts and she kept doing this until she was finally able to calm herself and her Wolf down after maybe 30 minutes later with laboured breaths.

Hope was in the study about to leave for the train station via Floo Travel and both of the Flamel's gave Hope a hug while reminding Hope to be safe and to avoid losing her temper at school. Hope nodded with a smile on her face as she leaned into the hug the Flamel's gave her, before she Floo'ed to King's Cross Station within the barrier to Platform 9 and 3⁄4's and hopped aboard the big red steam engine known as the Hogwarts Express.

Hope went to locate Harry, just wishing to introduce herself in a neutral setting without school houses getting in the way.

Once she found Harry's compartment, she knocked on the door and asked. "Hi, can I sit in here?"

Harry's head popped up from the book he was reading and looked at her intently. "Yeah, I guess so. I'm Harry. Harry Potter." He said cautiously as he held out his hand cautiously.

Hope gave a polite smile and reached out slowly but without hesitation to shake his hand before introducing herself. "Hi there Harry. I'm Hope Mikaelson. What house are you hoping to end up in?" Hope tried for small talk which really is not her strong suit.

Harry shrugged non-committedly as he answered the small auburn haired girl across from him. "I'm not completely sure. Just not Slytherin. I've met someone who reminded me of my cousin. I don't want to be anywhere near that boy especially since he is so sure he'll end up in Slytherin." A frown appeared on Harry's face at the mention of his cousin.

"Fair enough. I have no idea where I'll end up. Though I guess that's what makes it exciting." Hope hummed in response before neutrally voicing her own opinion about herself.

"Sorry to interrupt. But are you from another country? You have a funny accent." Harry asked with a thoughtful furrowed brow.

Hope laughed in amusement and Harry looked put out at being laughed at, Hope realised her mistake and apologised. "Sorry. I'm not laughing at you. It's just that I've moved from America, well New Orleans actually. So everyone in England sounds like they have funny accents." "Though I have to admit, I'm getting used to the accents, my biological family all have a British accent. But I think they're kinda sexy." Hope said with a mischievous smirk causing Harry's eyes to widen and his mouth to drop open in shock.

"What?" Harry squeaked out.

Hope chuckled louder and pointed at Harry's stunned expression. "Sorry. I'll stop now. But your reaction was priceless."

This was when Ron walked into the compartment without even a knock with Hope laughing at Harry. "Blimey! You're Harry Potter! My name's Ron Weasley!" The boy practically shouted in the tiny compartment.

Hope discreetly rolled her eyes while Harry nodded back to the red headed boy almost blankly in confusion, wondering how these wizards seemingly knew who he was. The girl opposite him didn't greet him as if he was a celebrity which was refreshing after either no response in normal school, to being hailed as a pariah for doing something he doesn't even remember.

Ron's voice drops to a whisper and slides up next to Harry. "So can I see it?"

Harry looked confused at Ron, causing the red-headed boy to point at his own head and whispered a touch quieter. "The scar?"

Harry let out a sound of recognition and used a hand to brush aside his hair on his forehead, showing the famous lightning bolt scar.

"Wicked!" Ron exclaimed.

Harry grinned and was distracted again when the lady with the sweets trolley knocked on the door. "Anything from the trolley, dears?"

Ron held up his squished sandwich wrapped in gladwrap with a dejected look on his slightly dirty face. "No thanks. I'm good."

Hope politely shook her head at the elderly woman. Harry looked at Ron in pity and pulled out a handful of galleons before announcing, "We'll take the lot."

"Blimey!" The red head exclaimed loudly.

Hope listened to the conversation about the sweets and what each of them were. She completely turned her nose up at the 'Every Flavoured Beans' as she could smell vile combinations from the box.

Harry, being the polite soul he is, tried a few times to include Hope into the conversation with Ron, but Ron always seemed to talk over the top of her, so Hope chose to stay quiet and seethe in Ron's direction which the other boy was oblivious to.

When Ron mentioned performing a spell to turn his rat yellow. Hope just glared at the rat with hatred knowing who the rat really is, but this was one of the things Hope had to ignore as she knew Peter Pettigrew has an important part to play in the future.

As Ron cleared his throat for the fake spell his brother's gave him. Hermione opened the door also without knocking, quickly introducing herself before asking about Neville's toad, but when she saw Ron's wand out she requested to see the spell Ron was going to use.

After the spell didn't work Hermione pulled out her own wand and cast repairo on Harry's glasses before she figured out who Harry was by the lightning bolt scar on his forehead and asked for the rest of the occupants' names in the compartment.

"Ron Weasley." Ron garbled around a mouthful of food which caused the two girls to look disgusted with Ron's manners.

"That's gross." Hope groaned, shaking her head.

While Hermione was able to reply with, "Charmed." With a disturbed look.

"I'm Hope -" "Look, the toad's not here so why don't you look for it elsewhere?" Ron interrupted Hope, which made her grit her teeth in anger.

After a few more hours on the train. Hope decided then and there, that she was never going to be in a small space with Ronald Weasley ever again. The rude, obnoxious red-headed prick Hope thought to herself as her Wolf growled at him through sharp teeth.

When the students arrived at Hogsmeade the 1st years were informed to hop into a rowboat to sail to Hogwarts over the Black Lake. Hope waited until the end and hopped in with another red-head, although this time it was a girl named Susan Bones and her friend Hannah Abbot. The three girls got along swimmingly.

As their boat passed through the Hogwarts wards Hope had to turn her head back to Hogsmeade, hiding her face and especially her golden wolf eyes from the other two girls as the school wards powerful magic overwhelmed the Tribrid momentarily.

The two girls asked if she was okay and Hope replied that she was fine and came up with a quick lie on why she looked back the way they came saying she thought she saw something behind them. Buying Hope enough time to reign in her wolf and so she could turn her eyes back to her natural sea-blue colour.

When Hope regained control she mentally told herself not to mess with these wards as they are very powerful and very dangerous especially if they can trigger her Werewolf abilities upon entry of the wards.

Hope got her first look at the castle and it looked absolutely magical. The hidden Lady Emrys looked ahead at the boats in front of her and noticed that all the other students were starstruck by the castle's beauty and elegance. Straight blonde silky hair had caught Hope's eye and she sighed heavily at the back of Daphne's head as her Wolf wished to be with her Mate. The other two girls in the boat just assumed that the auburn haired girl's sigh was in regards to the appearance of the school.

As the boats moved close enough to the castle to dock. Hagrid, the almost 12 foot tall half-giant and Hogwarts Groundskeeper, led the first years to the Great Hall to be sorted. He then left the 1st years there momentarily as Professor McGonnagall showed up a few moments later, informing them of the Hogwarts houses and how these houses would be your family.

A frog croaking loudly broke McGonnagall's practised explanation as Neville ran up to collect his toad, Trevor, before slinking back into the crowd of 1st years in embarrassment. Draco made his spiel to Harry about making friends with the right people while he simultaneously degraded everyone around Harry at the same time.

If Hope wasn't so angry at the introduction that she nearly blasted Malfoy on the spot for being an arrogant little shit, she would've been impressed with the execution of his insult but highly disappointed that it didn't even come close to one on Lizzie Saltzman's insults, those were a work of art even if they were aimed at Hope herself.

Thankfully Hope was able to refrain herself from attacking the sleek-looking blonde haired boy as Professor McGonnagall ushered them into the Great Hall.

Professor McGonnagall had all the first year kids stand up at the front, just before the stairs leading up to the professors table before McGonnagall started calling names out in alphabetical order.

Hope tuned out for a majority of the sortings as she wondered where the Sorting Hat would place her. The Tribrid was drawn out of her own thoughts as her ears tuned Hope back into reality at the sound of Daphne's name being called. The Sorting Hat took about 20 seconds before sorting her into Slytherin.

Hope once again tuned everything out until she heard her name called. Hope walked up robotically to the stool and sat down elegantly without thought as Professor McGonnagall placed the Sorting Hat on her head.

It was quiet, very quiet.

Hope said nothing aloud or in her head for 30 seconds before she got bored and was about to complain but an old, but wise voice appeared in her head with a disgruntled groan. 'Well shit… What the fuck am I supposed to do with you?'

Hope rolled her eyes as she replied to the Sorting Hat in her mind so no one would hear them, 'What do you mean? Just pick a house for me to go into and go to the next kid.'

The Sorting Hat seemed to pick up on this was a private conversation and kept replying in her head.

'You're a goddamn time-traveller from another universe that's been de-aged, named Lady Emrys and not to mention is a Tribrid of a Witch, Werewolf and Vampire. Give me a damn minute to get through your memories from your old world then I might be able to sort you.' The Hat ranted to her in annoyance as if this wasn't something that happened everyday which to be fair it wasn't.

Hope bent her head down so the brim of the hat would cover her face all the way down to her mouth which was smirking trying to hold onto her laughter at the Hat's frustration. Hope offered to wait for the Hat to go through her memories so it could tell her which House she was going to be sorted into.

As she was aware that the Hat's couldn't divulge her secrets to anyone thanks to a story Nelle told Hope about Rowena Ravenclaw placing a silencing charm on the Hat that enjoyed blurting out everyone's secrets, Godric Gryffindor couldn't break the charm and the two Founders came to a compromise. The Hat can still read minds but can't reveal the wearer's secrets anymore. Turns out Godric Gryffindor was the prankster of the Founding Four.

It's been nearly 3 minutes since the Hat was placed on her head and it said in utter confusion. 'I honestly have no idea where to put you as you literally fit into each House. Hufflepuff slightly less than the others, but you could still go there if you wanted to.'

The Sorting Hat huffed in annoyance, but also in a pleased remembrance of the past. 'I'm kinda upset that you know that story. Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel. Another two names I haven't heard in a long time. Strangely enough even if I was able to blurt out your secrets, I don't think they would believe this anyway.'

Hope grounded her teeth together in irritation at the feeling of being unable to be sorted, before thinking if something she had read was right in the Harry Potter books. 'If you are unable to decide where to place me and I don't give a shit. How about you get the Founder's of the school to place me into a house. Whichever house needs someone like me.'

Hope could feel the Hat's eye sockets widen in shock at the girl's knowledge of the Sorting Hat and its properties before replying solemnly. 'Very well.'

Hope felt four more presences enter her mind and asked the Founders to start from the right of the Great Hall, so it starts with Hufflepuff.

Hope called out mentally for Helga Hufflepuff and a motherly voice replied. 'First. I wish to thank you for cleansing my cup from the Horcrux. So thank you, Miss Mikaelson.'

Hope gave a courtesy in her mind but gave a near invisible movement with her head to nod, before Helga continued, 'As much as I would love to have you in my House. I do not have any issues within my House for you to fix.'

Hope hummed in acceptance at Hufflepuff's advice.

Hope looked at the next table which is the house of red and gold, Gryffindor. The voice of Godric Gryffindor came through loud and clear. The warlord wizard's voice appeared in her head, commanding, strong and with a deep echoing voice. 'I have seen your plan to give the Sword of Gryffindor back to the Goblins, which I respect. It should have happened on my death but my descendants stole it, so you have my thanks as well.'

Hope gave a small nod of her head.

Gryffindor must have rubbed his proverbial beard as he thoughtfully finished off, 'However, just like Helga. I would also like you in my House but I'm fairly certain another house could definitely use someone like you to tip the balance.'

Before Hope could even turn to Ravenclaw's table, Rowena's calm but clearly intelligent voice came into her head. 'It shames me to know that my House will bully one of my direct descendants when she arrives next year. But alas bullies can be dealt with no matter which House you are in.'

Rowena sighs as she looks over to the far left of the Great Hall to the students in green and silver with pity and tears in her eyes. 'I would suggest you enter Slytherin House as they need you more than my House, no matter how much I'd prefer you in my House.'

Hope frowned as she heard Ravenclaw's request.

Hope took in all the information she had learned recently and asked Salazar. 'What the hell is happening in your House that is so bad, that the other Founder's are suggesting I go into Slytherin?'

Hope could hear a deeply disturbed sigh from an expressionless voice that reminded her of the Greengrass'. 'My House needs a lot of help, there's no denying that. The older years break into the younger years rooms and terrorise them by dismantling their wards and throwing spells at them. If the wards aren't strong enough from 3rd year or higher, the children are usually raped, although the girls receive this… abuse more than the boys but both genders are put through this trauma.'

Hope's eyes glowed dangerously under the brim of the Hat and she growled inaudibly. Salazar agreed with Hope along with the other Founders and he continued, sorrow etched in his voice as his Occlumency mask broke. 'I know, it's horrible. But as our consciousness is trapped in this Hat, we are unable to help the students under the protection of our Houses. I need you to stop this.'

'I can give you access to the Slytherin Wardstone, but you can only alter the Wardstone when no-one else is in the Snake Den. Breakfast is usually a good time for this. The stone is located within the door to the Common Room. Just call out "In the name of Salazar Slytherin, I Hope Mikaelson have been chosen as protector of this House."' Slytherin advised Lady Emrys, the powerful Tribrid.

'Got it.' Hope acknowledged in a grunt.

'Hat? Would you mind sorting me into Slytherin? There are some snakes I have to castrate.' Hope told the Hat with an evil smirk plastered on her lips.

After a total of 10 minutes and 48 seconds the Sorting Hat called out, "SLYTHERIN!"

Hope's robes were lined with emerald green and silver linings as she pulled off the Hat and handed it to McGonnagall before making her way to the far left table and sitting at the end of the table, closest to the Professors.

There were some polite claps but Hope didn't care, she was in deep thought as she plotted for tonight and first thing tomorrow.

There were loud cheers from Gryffindor as Harry was sorted, but the rest of the sorting was fairly quiet. Hope was left ostracised on the end of the table as she wasn't Pureblood or possibly not even a Halfblood and no one recognized her name and so no one cared about her.

Hope picked at some of the food on the table disinterestedly as she didn't really feel like eating after what she had learned about Slytherin house. Hope had listened to the announcements with a frown and shaking her head when Dumbledore mentioned the 3rd floor corridor is out of bounds. Informing the student should you go looking into the 3rd floor corridor for trouble, a painful death awaits you.

Hope was too busy glowering and plotting to notice the worried look from her blonde-haired friend further down the Slytherin table. While 2 tables over on the Gryffindor table Harry looked at Hope with sadness as he liked the girl's character from when they met on the train.

However Harry was the only one to note the expression on Hope's face while on the train, a look of loneliness that reminds Harry of his own reflection in a mirror when he thinks about his parents.

Harry also noticed the deep anger etched on Hope's face as she sat on her table. He wondered what she was thinking about before he caught a movement in the corner of his eye as one of the teachers with a long hooked nose seemingly groaned in pain as he looked angrily over to Hope causing Harry to frown.

When the Sorting Feast was over Hope mechanically followed the Slytherin prefects down the dungeons where the Slytherin common room was located. After the prefect said the password

'Purity', Hope scowled at the back of the group and grounded her teeth together in anger yet again.

When all the first years were in the common room the 5th year prefect, Marcus Flint, barked out rules to be followed.

"First rule: Don't travel alone. Other houses will more than likely try to hex you behind your back. Second rule: Don't disagree with other house members in public. If you have any issues with another Slytherin, do it within this common room or in the duelling ring downstairs. Third: Don't be late to classes. One of the prefects will escort you first years to your classes for the first week, then you are on your own." An evil smirk crossed the boy's face and Hope narrowed her eyes at him.

"Fourth: Don't make friends with Gryffindor's. They are the enemy. When in Potions disrupt the class and blame it on a Gryffindor, or add in ingredients to their cauldron to make them fail the class. Our Head of House, Professor Snape will dock points off the Gryffindor's. Fifth: Listen to whatever an elder Slytherin tells you to do." The Slytherin prefect finished with a pleased smile as his eyes leered over the fresh meat.

Hope almost growled as her Wolf was demanding to be let out so she could rip the boy to shreds for looking at her Mate like that. Hope's self control was really being pushed to the limit tonight but she didn't speak as she listened to the list in disgust.

Hope was going to completely ignore the last 2 rules, she may even go out of her way to do the exact opposite just to piss them off. The third rule Hope was fine with as she didn't enjoy being tardy, but the first and second she was only partially going to listen to.

The universal traveller was already going to watch her back but she didn't trust any of the other Slytherins except Daphne to watch her back. However with Daphne's 'Ice Queen' persona in place, she couldn't even hang around Daphne which caused Hope to frown in disappointment.

The second rule however, she could use it to her advantage if needed. Because let's face it. Even if the entire common room attacked her, she could still win or last long enough to cause a hell of a lot of damage. Or if she was bored there was always her sleep spell. Nuclear option would be the neck-snapping spell all witches from her world used on uncooperating Vampires.

Hope was brought out of her violent musing when Flint gave the first year girls a sadistic smile and mentioned gleefully as his eyes travelled all over the girls young bodies. "Girls' dorms only house 2 beds per room and since there are 5 of you, one of you is going to be on your own."

The other four girls barely managed to hold back the terrified look on their faces, but Hope didn't react to the taunt as she could smell the fear from each of the first year girls.

Once again this dude managed to aggravate her Wolf severely. Knowing this guy was frightening her Mate and she wasn't able to just kill him. Some days, Hope really wished she could act more like her father and rip his head off.

Damn the consequences.

But generally the auburn haired girl tries to stick to her promise of wanting to do right by her family's name and make her parents proud.

The four Slytherin girls paired up while Hope was contemplating murder. Daphne went with a brunette with glasses that Hope knows is Tracey Davis due to the drawings the blonde had made of her friend. While a very large and bulky girl especially for her age matched up with a dark haired girl with a squished face reminding her of a pug.

Hope frowned at her own description of the last girl feeling guilty for a moment before the same girl sneered at Hope and the Tribrid no longer felt bad.

"I guess that leaves you on your own Mikaelson." Flint remarked cruelly as Hope blinked slowly as she realised he was right, internally she shrugged as her Wolf whined petulantly towards Daphne.

A majority of the Slytherin house was now openly sneering at her and Hope wondered why before her brain helpfully supplied. 'They think I'm an easy target since I'm 'Muggleborn'. So they have made me the pariah of Slytherin in less than 10 minutes.' Hope just raised her eyebrows to Flint in response to being on her own.

The prefects showed the girls to their rooms and Hope felt a spell pass by her head when they opened her door. Someone shoved her into the room and Hope couldn't contain her anger as lethal sharp claws formed on her right hand.

As she turned to swipe at them with dangerous Werewolf claws and her pulsing anger, the older Slytherin students slammed the door in her face laughing, but before the door closed and her hand struck the door, Hope managed to glimpse of fear on Daphne's face.

But Daphne's fear wasn't for herself. It was for Hope, which caused Hope to smile happily at the closed door with 4 very long and very deep scratches in the heavy wooden door.

Hope blinked a few times and took deep breaths to clear her thoughts before she turned around and her eyes widened in shock. The room looks like a bomb went off in here. There wasn't a single loose item that wasn't already on the ground.

"Oops." Hope murmured to herself as she pursed her lips together in embarrassment, realising that her magic had exploded out of her when she clawed at the door.

After a few moments of thoughtful silence. Hope pulled her White Oak wand from its holster from its place on her right forearm and scanned the room for any dangerous spells or traps considering someone had fired a spell into her room as she pushed in.

Lady Emrys found multiple eavesdropping charms, delayed hexing charms and a nasty looking curse that apparently causes painful boils to grow and pop. After Hope located all these spells throughout the room, she was about to pull out her compartment from her pocket and place all her clothes into the drawers. But when she opened the drawers she felt more trap spells including itching spells, rash spells and her personal favourite the burning clothes spell.

Hope sighed in annoyance as she realised that practically everything was spelled. There was no point in ever starting to unpack yet until she removed all these spells. Hope summoned a bundle of sage and lit it. Knowing that the sage will also work on listening charms as Hope, Nic and Nelle had experimented with the sage over the holidays.

Once the sage was lit Hope couldn't contain her frustration any longer and let out a ferocious growl of anger as her eyes turned golden. Hope turned to the scratched door and moved in front of the door, placing one hand on the door and the other on the doorframe before growling out in a deep rumble, her wolf exceedingly close to the surface, 'CLOSTRUM!'.

A visible opaque barrier erected itself quickly and shuddered as the magic solidified at the door, barring anyone from entering her room. Hope's barrier spell will now only allow her in and out without any issues. The Tribrid also put a protective rebounding effect on the barrier so no-one can cast a spell into her room and instead the spell would bounce back, hitting the caster.

"You know what? Fuck it!" Hope swore as she gripped her hair in frustration.

"Myrddin! I could use your assistance… Please?" Hope seethed out through gritted teeth and removed her hands from her head.

There was a flash of fire as well as a loud screech when Myrddin burst into existence in Hope's new dorm room. The feeling of talons puncturing Hope's shoulder when the Phoenix landed on her brought Hope back to reality.

"Sorry to bother you so early my friend. But I need your help. Are you able to remove all these spells that other students have placed in this room? I'm sorry but I can't be fucked to remove them one at a time at the moment." Hope requested as she tried to contain her anger as the Phoenix did not deserve her ire.

"Can you watch my memories and see what has happened since I arrived? And if you are as angry as I am, could you burst into flames and take everything in this room with you?" Hope seethed.

Myrddin cocked his head to the side in outright confusion but did as requested by Lady Emrys.

After a minute Myrddin let out an angry squawk as fire engulfed his body. Once the Phoenix looked like a burning piece of coal shimmering with some dark blues and purples, along with the reds, oranges and yellows of his fire.

Without any prior warning, Myrddin exploded with a loud boom that vibrated through the castle as Myrddin threw his wings high into the air. Screeching loudly as he drew on some of Hope's excess magic to fuel the overwhelming and destructive fire.

Hope watched in fascination through a fire-kissed glass stained window as everything in the dorm room was reduced to ashes, eventually, even the ashes disappeared at the intensity of Myrddin's flames. Leaving only the original stone layout of the room.

Hope wasn't afraid of this fire as she could literally feel the power that Myrddin was using from her own reserves of power. Hope had also learnt from the Flamel's that a familiar can't harm their bonded partner.

Lady Emrys was also aware that since Myrddin is using her magic to fuel the inferno destroying the room and its contents. Her own magic won't harm her. Unless for some strange reason Hope wills her magic to harm herself.

After ten short seconds. The burning finally stopped. Myrddin dropped his wings before letting out a huff of annoyance.

'Stupid little shits. Like you wouldn't have noticed the spells. I really hope you have a punishment planned for those students who condone rape. That's just completely deplorable!' Myrddin ranted in absolute disgust.

"I agree with you. Trust me. It's beyond heinous. As for the punishments. I haven't decided yet but I plan on making a multi-ward scheme. Ill intent wards, one for your average bullying. A lesser punishment, perhaps a silencing spell to seal their mouths and a blood boiling spell until bullying is no longer in their thoughts…" Hope plots aloud to her Phoenix as she slowly begins to pace.

"Although knowing me. I'd probably activate that ward more than once. So I'll add into that first ill intent ward with a decision based ward. So if anyone decides to act upon their desires to inflict pain, hurt or sorrow onto someone. The ward will activate." Hope explained devilishly to the Phoenix.

"However, I don't have an appropriate punishment for rape… What do you think I should do to them? Because anything I think up includes their pain until they beg for death, then I'd kill them slowly but I feel like that's a little dark… considering they are still kids themselves." Hope asked the black bird in curiosity.

Myrddin snorts and flecks of embers came out of his nostrils. Hope pulls out her wand again before casting a single 'Scourgify' on the entire room. Cleaning all the soot from the walls and ceiling as well as all the soot from the ground leaving a completely bare stone room to refurnish.

'Any one who performs rape should be killed, but like you said it is a little dark to do, especially on students who haven't even reached adulthood.' Myrddin lets out a sad whistle which Hope translates into a sigh.

'Perhaps a taste of their own medicine?' The Phoenix suggests with a sly tweet.

Hope thinks about this as she starts conjuring up furniture to place into her new room for the school year. The Tribrid started with a bed which she placed in the corner opposite the door.

Rephrase that, doors as in two.

Hope narrows her eyes at the second door before walking over to the newly revealed door, opening it with caution and glancing in. Hope took in the tiles and stone within the room before edging the door open further.

It was a bathroom of all things.

Hope shrugged as she closed the door quietly. Hope decided to come back to this room a little later, after she finished adding in furniture to her dorm room. The time-traveller conjures a dresser next so she could place it in the other corner adjacent to the bed and the door to the common room. Next was a bookshelf then a desk to study at. Hope also created a rolly desk chair to slide under the table so she had somewhere to sit when doing homework or some self-study.

Between the two doors Hope conjured an easel. She walked over to the bed and pulled out her compartment and waved her hand and muttered, 'dimiterre'. Watching as the items from her compartment flew out gracefully and set themselves into their new homes including some art supplies Nic and Nelle had provided Hope for school.

Hope finally replied to the Phoenix aloud. "Do you mean I should make them experience what it feels like to be raped?"

'Sure. It shouldn't be too hard with the power of the Slytherin Wardstone. You should be able to make them mentally experience what it feels like to be raped, without physically raping the students." Myrddin answered with a chirp.

Hope hummed as she raised an eyebrow while conjuring a perch at the end of the bed for Myrddin to rest on and she even conjured another Fire Seed Bush a few metres away from the perch while placing a smaller barrier spell around it. So the Phoenix couldn't gorge himself on seeds throughout the day.

Hope also gave this perch the same set up as the one at the Flamel's with the essentials of water and food along with the replenishment cycles.

"Maybe a time based ward of an hour? Make the student or students compelled to go to their dorms and lock themselves in. The Wardstone can activate a notice me not ward on the dorm so no one tries to interfere." Hope offers an idea to the Phoenix as she walks over to the bathroom door and opens it again.

"But who would we use as the mental rapist?" Hope questioned.

'Snape? Afterall he already invades the students' minds. I felt the probe in your head when I viewed your memory of the sorting. I also think Dumbledore tried to peek in your head as well." Myrddin watched as Hope scanned the room for more spells.

When she finished scanning the room she moved her head to the side in confusion and muttered under her breath. "Huh. There's no spells in here."

When Hope left the bathroom and checked her watch for the time, she saw it was 9:53pm. Hope smirked to herself as she asked the Phoenix to stay in the room for a moment while she erected another barrier outside.

As Hope tried to turn the door handle, it wouldn't budge. Hope sighed in annoyance and overpowered a spell on the door to break it. Once the sealing spell broke apart Hope peered out into the walkway to see if anyone was around.

When she couldn't see anyone, Hope casted 'invisique' on herself, shrouding herself in invisibility before heading out the door.

Since there was no one out in the common room at this time. Hope walked over to the boys section first and casted a time based barrier spell which will dissipate at dawn on the stairway so no one could pass through until sunrise. The Tribrid hopped back into the dorm side of the girls area before casting the same spell.

As Hope walked back into her room she cancelled her invisibility spell, revealing a tiny smile knowing that this would hopefully stop the rape and attacks for this first night at least. Until the thought of same sex assault came to mind and she sighed. Hope couldn't do much more until she got access to the Slytherin Wardstone.

"Hey Myrddin?" Hope said, getting the Phoenix's attention away from him preening himself.

"Can you imbue the Wardstone with the reincarnation abilities of a Phoenix? That way no one can destroy the Wardstone?" Hope requested thoughtfully as the midnight Phoenix nodded his head regally.

"Great! I'll just write a couple of letters then go to sleep. Good night, Myrddin."

Myrddin let out a thrill and went back to cleaning his feathers on his perch. Hope sat at her desk so she could write out her first letter to the Flamel's. Explaining which House she ended up in and why she chose it. Hope also mentioned her plan with the Wardstone and the two variations of punishment.

She knew the Flamel's would be devastated to find out that the Slytherin House is practically a nesting space to create more Death Eaters and they would be beyond pissed about the rape, especially Nelle.

The universal-traveller also cracks a couple of jokes about being a Tribrid in a House that is all about purity, then includes her amusement at the password for the Slytherin House which is 'purity'.

Hope cast her messaging spell on the letter to send it off to the Flamel's, before writing another note to send to King Ragnok of the Goblins. Informing him of the Hogwarts Founders' request to change Slytherin House to something better, as well as giving the phrase Salazar Slytherin told her about the Wardstone. Hope also asked if they were called in to check the wards, not to interfere with them if possible as they are in place to protect the young and innocent.

Hope also included Godric's request in regards to the Sword of Gryffindor and that he apologises for his descendants stealing the Sword before it could be returned to the Goblins. She mentioned that Godric was proud that Hope would be able to return the Sword to the Goblins after all this time.

At the end of the note she requests that if the Goblin King was to have any trouble with the Wizengamot to let her know and she'll do her best to help and flaunt her Legendary status to the best of her ability while still hiding in the shadows.

After sending this letter off as well, Hope hopped into bed and muttered. "Not even a full day at the school and I've almost shifted into a wolf 3 times. This school is really going to test the control I have over my anger and composure, due to this school's lack of action to blatant bullying."

Hope grunted tiredly before falling asleep.
