hope greengrass greatly admired albus dumbledore not because he defeated gellert grindelwald, or was the only person voldemort came to fear.

it was because, after finding out hope wasn't allowed by neither her uncles or aunt to go to hogwarts for the tournament, he instantly responded to her owl. hope couldn't exactly remember what she said in the letter, she just knew there was a lot of begging on her part.

she found it unfair that her cousins, ikaris greengrass-wood and victor krum, were allowed to go but she wasn't. he used to be victor greengrass, but changed to his mother's last name during the spat, as hope called it.

the spat was probably the reason why hope wasn't initially allowed to go to the tournament. it was a few years ago when she found out she was adopted and things did not turn out well. there was crying and screaming, hope could vaguely remember her uncle achilles repeatedly chanting, 'this was a bad idea.'

it was a bad idea indeed. both hope and victor haven't talked to their father (well, victor's) in over two years. it wasn't their fault theseus greengrass decided to inform them of hope's adoption during lila greengrass' funeral.

i'm glad i'm not blood related to this family, y'all are dysfunctional. hope joked as she and victor packed their bags to crash at uncle achilles and steve's house.

two years and many arguments later, hope was sitting in between her cousins, ikaris and victor as they exited their large ship.

"this is hogwarts?" ikaris snickered.

hope had to admit, she was slightly disappointed. hogwarts was always a fever dream to her. she had ideas about what the castle would look like and this did not live up to it. "don't be rude," she still said as she nudged him in the ribs.

"dumbledore!" professor karkaroff said. "how are you, my dear fellow, how are you?"

"blooming, thank you, professor karkaroff," dumbledore replied.

"dear old hogwarts, how good it is to be here, how good... viktor, hope, come along, into the warmth... you don't mind, dumbledore? these two have a slight head cold..."

hope politely smiled at professor dumbeldore, who grinned at her. "hope greengrass! i am very glad you were allowed to come."

"why, it was your letter that brought me here. i am truly grateful, professor dumbledore," hope said, summoning as much politeness as she could. the old man nodded and went back to converse with her headmaster.

snickers came from both ikaris and victor, causing hope to smile before hitting them both in the ribs—still a polite smile on her face.

when they were all invited to sit, hope decided to sit on the red and gold table, rather the green and silver like her cousin and brother. they both gave her confused looks as she sat beside a red-head boy.
