Jetta

I walk out of the headmasters office feeling conflicted, all my friends in this time period are in Gryffindor for the most part. But on the other hand I've never really felt truly comfortable in Gryffindor I know that I'm a Slytherin at heart and that being in Slytherin makes me feel more like I'm true to my self.

By the time I reach the common room I have come to a decision.

I think that my friends deserve to know where I was supposed to be sorted.  I walk over to the boys how are sitting around the fire place. "Hey boys, can I talk to you guys?" 

"Of course Jetta, you can always talk to us" answers Remus for all of them.

I shuffle my feet awkwardly "can we talk somewhere more private?"

"Of course" says Sirius, "lets just head up to our room".

They all make there ways up to their dorm and I snag Lily, Marlene and Alice along the way.

"Okay so what did you wanna talk about Jetta?" Inquires Peter.

"Umm, okay.... so I want you guys to know something about me, and before you freak just please remember I'm still the same me you've been friends with since the beginning of fifth year"

"Does this have something to do with why you ran out of charms class this morning?" Interrupts Sirius.

"Yes, it does. I found out through this project that the man I thought was my father isn't actually my father, I'm actually a half blood, my biological father is a pure blood. Also the sorting hat originally put me in Slytherin but Dumbledore had the hat resort me because we had believed me to be muggleborn and it's not safe to be a muggleborn Slytherin. The reason I ran out of charms Sirius was because I was freaked out about my father, I ran straight to the headmasters office. He said that I can be swapped to Slytherin." I put my hand up, "Before you say anything yes I accepted the offer purely because I don't feel completely comfortable here. Of course I still love all of you and appreciate everything Gryffindor has done for me but I think that I truly belong in Slytherin. I'll leave you guys to digest this and go pack up to move, I'm sorry guys, I really hope you know that to me this doesn't change any of my feelings towards you guys and Gryffindor."

I leave the boys dorm before they can say anything and run to the girls dorm. I pack all my books and clothes quickly into my extendable bag and summon anything that's missing. The other girls make their way in and Marlene gives me a dirty look, I knew that this would take a while for everyone to accept at least I hope that they will accept who I am now. I leave saying goodbye and head out to meet with Dumbledore to arrange my switch and to also change my last name to my mothers maiden name as I have no attachments to my current one and I can't use my real fathers last name because of all the questions that'll come up and I can't answer.

"Hello miss Estella, I assume you have made your decision?"

"Yes headmaster I have chosen to change, but could I please change my last name to Aubrey? It's my mothers maiden name." I reply.

"Alright then Miss Aubrey, your new room is ready for you, you will be sharing with Narcissa Black." Explains the headmaster opening the door to his office indicating for me to head to my new home. "By the way Miss Aubrey, the password is Purest".

I wish him a goodnight and head out to my new room.

-----

In my new room I find one empty bed across from Narcissas I begin unpacking my things. 
I hear the door open behind me and hear Narcissa greet "Hello, it's nice to meet you you must be my new roommate?"

I turn to her holding my hand out and say "Hello, my name is Jenneta Est- Aubrey but most people call me Jetta"

"Oh I wasn't aware that Dumbledore allowed for house switches or that mudbloods were aloud in Slytherin" her tone changes of one of disgust.

"For your information I was originally sorted into Slytherin but the old man thought it would not be safe for a mudblood like me to be in Slytherin so he had me resorted. Secondly I recently learned that I was not actually born to a muggle and squib as I thought but actually a muggle and a pure blood, I have no ties to my actual father and the idiot he was to knock up a muggle like my mother." I fumed at her quick change of heart just because my blood wasn't pure.

"Oh um I'm sorry Jenneta, I didn't know." She replied somewhat sincerely and definitely taken aback.

"I'm just saying that Severus isn't pure blooded either and he's an accepted Slytherin and I would appreciate it if I was shown a little acceptance is all."

"Yeah but he believes in blood supremacy." Narcissa argued.

"And I don't?" I ask in disbelief, "you don't even know me how would you know what I do or don't believe in?"

I storm out of the room before I loose my head completely, I don't bother with the door I just stalk onto the common room.

Happy holidays everyone! Sorry I didn't theme it for the holidays and for the long time since my last update, I've reached a point in the story where I don't know where to go with it and I at least have a few chapters to edit and post in the meantime but I'm trying to spread them out a bit till I find a way to get through the spot I'm stuck at. Anyways if you guys my lovely readers have any feedback on my story I would love to hear it. Thank you so much and I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season! 🎄🌟
