y/n Athena Harlow

𝑦/𝑛 𝐴𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛𝑎 𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑜𝑤'𝑠 POV

It's a long story... but we have time.

A ray of sunshine meets with my eyes barely open, birds chirping in the morning crisp, and a wave of breeze greeting me the morning.

I stood up the second a I recall my last thought before going off for the night. I wanted to watch the sunrise but it seemed to be running away. Game on. I run to grab the nearest slip on dress and immediately throw it own myself, grab my flats, and style my hair with a bandana Aunt Serephine gave me for my birthday. 

Aunt Serephine was a young woman, eyes coloured like honey, and hair like chocolate cake we would bake together. When she found me in a basket in the middle of a flower field with a necklace. The necklace was a locket, but to the biggest surprise of all. There was no picture. Just a piece of paper held in the locket written in ink "y/n Athena Harlow".
Aunt Serephine  has cared and aid for me the night she took me in when I was just an infant.
We lived together in a cottage not small, but abnormally large;

I grew up calling it a cottage.
Game is back on. I run out the door without waking up Aunt Serephine. Up hills and down I collected flowers while running to chase the sunrise.

There I was. At the top of my mountain I would always watch the painted skies on. Now this would be the place I would go to when the sun is present. At night, I would visit the magical alive woods I was found in. Trees, foliage, fireflies that were dancing fairies to me, and a tree that I would rest on while adoring the moon that shone in front of my resting spot.
Back to my current reality, I raise my arms feeling the wind swarming over. I felt so alive.
This was the feeling I knew I would never get tired of. This was the euphoric feeling.

The sunrise would tame down and that was my cue to head back home to Aunt Serephine. I run back home with the biggest smile and the most alive heartbeat. The door was open but I was too jumpy to go through it. I climb up the tree and swing off of a sturdy branch onto the roof and swung into the kitchen from a window that was left open startling Aunt Serephine.
"Expect the unexpected from y/n," Aunt Serephine started grinning.
"Always," I wink towards her.

We sit down at our breakfast table and I noticed she was rather off. She stared at me with a slight grin plastered on her face.
"I'll do something crazy to give you a reason to stare at me like that Aunt Serephine," I chuckle to her as she laughs back.
"Y/n dear, we are both aware you have unique abilities and not like talents I mean," my aunt continues, "You have a letter for sent for you dear," as she hands a letter coloured like birch wood.

Dear Miss Harlow,
We are pleased to inform you that you
have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a
list of all necessary books and equipment.

Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress

My jaw dropped. I am a witch. Aunt Serephine would call me a witch when I was playfully naughty but I didn't know I was a witch witch.
I asked Serephine if she knew about it all.
"I wasn't planning, ever in my lifetime, that I was a witch. I've assumed you had to be a born muggle of that 99%. But that 1% had came alive and here you are, a witch. I've sacrificed a lot to ensure your safety as a child. Moving out into the muggle world, leaving the magic behind, leaving other people behind..." She sniffled,
"I had found you in the forest in the middle of its flower field. You practically glowed like a gem. The best thing that had ever happened to me. From then on, I never regretted my sacrifices and never stopped loving you any more than if you were witch or not witch.  Anyways. I know it all. I know the whole wizarding and magic universe."

Aunt Serephine looked up at me as if she was expecting a tear out of my eye but that wasn't really in my nature to let our tears. Instead I beamed at her with gratefulness and hugged her with excitement.

"I'm a witch!" I repeated with the biggest smile growing on my face, "I cant feel myself right now." This was a whole new chapter in my story. The first. My aunt explained the rules of being a witch and the secrets we must keep from the muggles.

The day went by and it was almost midnight.
I went to the same place i went every other day like usual. But this time wasn't much like the usual...
