GUILTY AS SIN?
written by: superpink24💋
Aithne Greengrass is many things, but a colossal disappointment rises above them all. From the moment she crossed the threshold of Hogwarts, she shattered the flawless image she'd painstakingly crafted. The instant the Sorting Hat brushed her golden hair, it declared—Ravenclaw. And with that single word, years of careful preparation crumbled, leaving only the weight of her family's expectations to crush her spirit.
This left Aithne sifting through the ruins of her reputation, grasping at shattered fragments amidst the debris, trying to assemble something whole from what was lost. Each piece she touched cut deeper, but she carried on, desperate to rebuild from the wreckage. She poked and she prodded, hoping to stumble upon the right solution.
But some things, once broken, can never return to their former shape. Aithne tried to mask the disappointment in her parents' eyes, tried to dull the whispers that followed her down every corridor. Ravenclaw. A word that tasted like betrayal, like failure. She wore the blue and bronze with the poise expected of her, yet behind that composed exterior, she was unraveling—thread by thread.
Countless nights, Aithne had whispered prayers into the darkness, begging time to rewind. She dreamed the moment again and again—her name echoing through the Great Hall as she stepped forward, back straight, head held high, every inch the perfect daughter. This time, the Sorting Hat wouldn't even need to touch her hair before it bellowed, "Slytherin!" A single word that would change everything.
