With barely a few seconds left, the young h/c girl stares as the clock ticks closer to midnight.
And with that, the bell chime indicates that the wait is over... It's 12a.m, and the next day has begun. Excited, the girl pulls closer the cupcakes with a candle atop them, closing her eyes for a second making her wish, and blowing on the candle.

"Happy birthday to me.."
"Happy birthday to me"
"Happy birthday dear y/n"
"Happy birthday to me... "

She sings to herself before taking a bite out of the cake
She should be ecstatic, even glistening! It's her eleventh birthday, and she should be receiving her Hogwarts acceptance letter any day now, but she can't force herself to be overjoyed...
Instead, she kisses the beautiful necklace around her neck, which belonged to her ailing mother and was given to her by her house-elf Mina, who always thought the daughter resembled her mother.

*First person pov*

I woke up with little to no energy left in me... No matter how early I go to bed I'm always tired in the morning I'm starting to suspect it to be a curse at this rate.
I quickly got up and got ready for the day, brushing, taking a shower, and brushing my hair it was now time to pick out why outfit, I decided to go with a flowy sundress, it was my birthday after all so I wanted to dress up a bit, that's the only thing making it special at this point.

"Miss niyati, your father wishes for you to join him for breakfast," Said mina the house-elf; poking her head out of the door

"I'll be there in a minute mina," I said. While I had no real interest in having breakfast with my father it was an obligation I had to follow, it was one of the many rules we had in this household.
The other included having no half-blood or muggle-born or as he calls them mudblood into the house. He was an old-school purest kind of man. Though I must admit he wasn't a horrible father to me, it's more of us just not getting along

Non the less I walked downstairs to the large dining room where my father was waiting for me at the otherwise empty table.
"Happy birthday y/n," The h/c man said who happened to be my father

I was honestly shocked. He never really cared much about my birthday and would usually just hand me some money when I would remind him as a little sorry (which I don't mind it's good money)
"Oh, thank you father," I said pleasantly surprised
"Of course, you're turning 11, you should be getting your Hogwarts letter soon who knows you might even get it today," He said while sipping on his chai {the Indian in me had to make it chai}
"Yes, I'm aware, hopefully, I'll get it soon" Just as I finished the sentence a white and brown owl flew into the house through the window with a letter
"That- was way quicker than I thought it would be," I said while being surprised about just how fast they were in sending me the letter.
I looked at my father as he nodded "go on read it" So I did just as he said, I opened the letter to find writing beautifully in cursive handwriting;

Needless to say, I was over the moon! Finally, I can get out of this hellhole and start anew!

"Guess we're going to Diagon ally today," My father said getting up
"Let's not waste any time, I want you to read through the books when you get them"
I nod as my father and i make out way outside of the house to a little separated room outside the eerie mansion {picture on top} which held the floo network fireplace, my father always stated that it was separate from the mansion for safety purposes but i dont think that's the only reason it was put there..

We had just reached Diagon ally when my father suggested that I should go on and get a wand and robes while he gets my books and I didn't mind I liked buying stuff on my own so I was off.

My first trip was to Ollivanders to obtain my wand, which I was quite pleased about because I'd always wondered whether I'd get a Unicorn Tail Hair or a Dragon Heartstring!! I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I failed to notice someone exiting the store and walked right into them...yup, it was rather awkward.

"oh, I am so sorry I wasn't paying attention!" I said sounding a bit panicked for some reason-

"don't worry about it, it was my fault too, I was too busy staring at my wand" the brown-haired boy with spectacles explained.

"wait are you harry potter by any chance?" I asked quite shocked about whom I had bumped into

"Sure, yes I am," he answered, blushing, "I didn't know I was this popular ," he said, looking very adorable if you ask me.

"Of course you are.. you are the boy who lived-" My sentence was cut short by a tall man I recognized as Hagrid from Hogwarts; I'd like to learn how to look after magical creatures from him.. My brother apparently really liked the man

"Harry! Harry! Happy birthday!" said Hagrid with a snowy owl in a cage

"wow!" said Harry with an amazed look

We parted ways after that, and I went inside the business; it was a cool coincidence that we both had the same birthday. The store was deserted, with shelves of wands in boxes but no one inside; it was extremely eerie

"Hello? is anyone here?" I questioned with a soft voice

"I wondered when I'd be seeing you, Miss niyati. It seems only yesterday that your brother was in here buying his first wand" said the strange man with white hair, he was Ollivander the wand master.
