⋅•☆Chapter 16 - Summer of '92☆•⋅

Third Person's POV

⋅•☆────✧.·☽✦☾·.✧────☆•⋅

The first month of summer went by in a flash. They celebrated Harry's birthday at the Manor. They invited the Weasleys and the Grangers for his birthday as a surprise. The Manor was filled with so much life that night.

Throughout July, Y/n and Harry went back and forth between the Manor and the Burrow. They got to meet Charlie and Bill during their time with the Weasleys.

It was now August, Y/n was getting ready to help her mom and uncle out at the reserve. That was until she heard a crash coming from downstairs. She ran out of her room and towards the source of the crash. She was faced with her dad and Harry in the kitchen covered in flour and multiple trays and pans were on the floor.

"What in the world are you two doing?" She asked.

"We're trying to bake some cookies..." Her father, Ambrose, answered. Taking his wand and casting a clean-up spell.

"Baking cookies or being the cookies you're supposed to be baking?" She said,

"Touche." Harry replied, placing the tray back on the counter.

"Don't burn down the kitchen while I'm gone." She said, making her way towards the Carrington Reserve.

The reserve wasn't too far away. It's just a short walk from the Manor.

Y/n entered a small building. As she looked around, she spotted a few creatures lying around here and there. Many pictures hung on the walls. They consisted of photos of her Mother and the creatures she saved. There were even a few photos of a few other magizoologist, namely Newt Scamander. He and her mum are old friends. This building was simply a sort of headquarters for the reserve. It was like a little clinic for some creatures.

She exited the building and made her way towards the stables that stood near the building. It wasn't like your normal horse stables. Each stable was created to fit a certain creature according to their liking. They're free to leave whenever they want. The animals usually use this place for sleeping and coming here to eat.

She made her way towards a certain stable that had the name Sparky written on the sign above. She was now faced with a hippogriff which was very happy to see her.

"Hi there Sparky, missed me?" She asked, making her way to hug the large hippogriff.

Y/n loved the magical creatures in the reserve. She always had a special bond with animals. From a young age she already knew that she wanted to become a Magizoologist like her mum.

Her mother rescued Sparky when he was a baby. His mother died due to a horrible accident which nearly killed Sparky. Y/n was just 5 so you can say that she grew up with the creature.

"Wanna go fly for a bit?" Y/n asked.

Sparky nodded, walking out of his stable and making his way outside. He knelt down, allowing Y/n to mount the hippogriff. Suddenly he lifted off the ground and started flying across the sky. From Y/n's point of view, she could see the whole reserve. She could see the large lake that held hundreds of creatures under the water. The forest that was home to many creatures. They eventually went back to the ground where they were met with Y/n's mother, Rosie and Remus.

"Help me out with the Occamy. They're hatching today." She said to Y/n.

"Ohhh, can I get to name them?" Y/n asked.

"Absolutely." Remus replied.

The rest of the day, Y/n helped her mum and uncle in the reserve. Feeding, grooming and checking up on the animals throughout. After the long day, they went back home.
