verse update.
It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be. // HP Verse
ANAKIN SKYWALKER ALWAYS knew there was something different about him from most other people. He && his mother left Mexico when he was nine, crossing the border hidden under a tarp in the back of an old pick up. Shmi seemed intent on running from something unnamed, a hidden antagonist she used to warn him against speaking of out loud. Whoever his father was, he’d tied his own noose with his connection to “He Who Must Not Be Named”.
They worked as indentured servants back in America, indebted to an old man named Watto who worked them in his auto shop. It was years later that a chance meeting with a Professor Qui-Gon Jinn from Hogwarts University would land him a full ride to school on the basis that his abilities as a Seer had just begun to manifest. Anakin entered Hogwarts in the middle of what would have been his second year if he’d been discovered any earlier. It was only due to his rapidly advancing skills in wizardry that kept him on track with the rest of the students, but was still treated as an outsider because of the unusual circumstances that landed him there.
The Sorting Hat hemmed && hawed over him for what seemed like a lifetime before settling Anakin into the House of Hufflepuff, much to his initial dismay. But the fact that he was underestimated for it soon became a powerful tool of surprise for the young wizard, && he’s been climbing the magical foodchain ever since.
