[Harry Potter] Miss Hogwarts Hufflepuff

Hufflepuff accepts every student, regardless of talent or bloodline. It doesn't even matter if you're timid and weak. A House like that will never win the House Cup, and the other Houses look down on it. But was the original Hufflepuff really like that? Helga Hufflepuff. One of the Founders of Hogwarts, and a legendary figure in wizarding history. A thousand years ago, she vanished into the past like so many great figures before her. But unlike Rowena Ravenclaw and Godric Gryffindor, whose fates are well documented, Helga's final resting place remains a mystery, even though she may well have lived to a ripe old age. Like Salazar Slytherin, her final fate is unknown. A thousand years later, Hufflepuff, who had merged with Hogwarts through a sacrifice, awakens once again when the Chamber is disturbed. When different people encounter this kind, gentle, yet wise elder, how will the familiar story and its familiar characters change? (Helga awakens because the Chamber is opened, so this story begins with the Chamber of Secrets arc.) Helga Hufflepuff is also translated as Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw as Rowena Ravenclaw. I personally think the former versions sound more feminine, so that's what I've gone with. Disclaimer: This story was originally published under the secret identity Lelita. The author later abandoned it without notice, but has now returned to their main account to continue updating it. If you read the first few chapters before, please wait until later to continue, since the earlier content has only been lightly revised. (I'll see if I can delete the story from the Lelita account in the next few days.)
