May's letter was a complete surprise, the Hawthorne's being a humble family, despite their name sounding impressive. They weren't about to pass up the opportunity of providing their daughter with all the advantages they could, though, and so quickly researched up all they needed to know for May's sake and sent her off with their love and encouragement.

May still can't quite believe she got the letter, and half expected the sorting hat to instead tell her it was all a mistake and she didn't belong here. It didn't, of course, and instead put her in Hufflepuff. Being Muggleborn and at Hogwarts is apparently not that uncommon and May set herself to her studies, progressing fairy well, to her astonishment the most! Now six years in, she has a fairly good basis and makes good grades, but is still not uppity or over-confident about her abilities, even though she's good enough in some things, like Herbology, to tutor the younger students. Of course there are those Pure-Bloods who think they need no help from a Muggle, but for the most part, even they are quickly won over by May's bright and encouraging manner, and she has been told a time or two she's an inspiration to the Halfs and other Muggles, though she is the first to remind she's by no means the first. She also still acts like a First Year with every new thing she learns!
