Butterflies (Harry Potter x reader)

1st year- Starting Hogwarts

"Y/n! Come downstairs!" my mom yelled. I slowly scooted out of bed rubbing my eyes of any crust that had developed from sleeping. Then when I was sure I wouldn't fall down the stairs, I started walking down. I was aware I had terrible bed-head but it didn't matter because I was just ready to eat whatever it was I could smell my mom cooking.

"Y/n! Morning. I made chocolate chip pancakes for you to eat!" My mom wasn't usually the type to get up early, and didn't like cooking very much, but since it was a special occasion, she was willing to. "Are you excited to start Hogwarts today?"

Oh darn that was TODAY, I knew it was a special occasion but I forgot that was it was. I groaned out of sleepiness. "Um yeah mom super excited," I didn't sound excited obviously, probably because I wasn't, I was so nervous! It seemed like my mom didn't notice because she just shook it off.

"Well eat up because you wanna have lots of energy for the start of a full life journey you're embarking on. First the 7 years of Hogwarts and then most of the rest of your life you'll be doing whatever career you choose." "But try not to fill up too much because they always have an opening feast at the beginning of the year."

"Ok mom," with that I ate up my chocolate pancake and put my plate in the sink.

"Now sweetie go on and get ready and we can take the flying car to the train station."

I nodded and walked back upstairs and went to my room where all my stuff was already packed, and by all my stuff, I mean my cart was there and my cat was laying on my bed. I had to go shopping which was why I woke up bright and early. But for now, I had to brush my hair and put on my robes my mom had previously bought and be on my merry way. (if you wear makeup I'm sorry to say no one wears it in the wizarding world which is crazy because they all look flawless somehow.)

After I did all that I grabbed my cat- your cat's name=y/cn, my suitcases and headed downstairs. Since I hadn't learned a spell to automatically put food into y/cn's bowl, and clean their litter box (or any spell for that matter) I had to bring at least 4-5 months worth of each until I could come back for more for the holidays. 

Mom was already waiting for me downstairs. "Ok Y/n, you ready?"

"Uh yeah?" I responded with clearly no confidence whatsoever.

"Great! Let's head to the car so we can go get supplies." We walked over to the flying car and I hopped in the front. We started it up until we were off flying! I looked at the view trying to relax and not think about how terrified I was. That was until my mom started talking about it again.

"So sweetie, how do you feel about starting Hogwarts?" She sweetly asks.

"Uhm excited I guess..." 

"If you're nervous, it's ok, I was so terrified when I first attended Hogwarts I almost threw up. Until I met Lily, she helped calm me down, she was friends with everyone though."

I didn't think much of what she said until suddenly it hit me, "You knew Lily Potter?"

"Oh, yes well at the time she was Lily Evans, but everyone knew her. We weren't that close,"

Wow my mom knew the famous Lily Potter, I guess she did say practically everyone knew her but still, she's famous now for her sacrifice for Harry Potter. He's also quite famous too, actually he's all people talk about nowadays since the incident with Voldemort. I'm sure everyone will want to be his friend all because he's "The Boy Who Lived" and "The Chosen One" because he rid of Voldemort's powers and only got a scar. ... Yeah ok I read up about him a bit in the Daily Prophet. Honestly I would want to be friends with him too, but I want to see if he's good friend material, like if he has a good personality not just because he's famous.
