      I walk into the Great Hall to see Ethan standing there holding pink tulips.
    "Ethan? Who are those flowers for?"
         Ethan started to blush and said, "Ali, they're for you. I really like you. I've liked you since I bumped into you on the train. Do you wanna look at the stars together tonight?"
    "Ethan thanks for the flowers. I actually really like you too. About the looking at the stars thing, I have quidditch practice tonight. Maybe some other night?"
             Ethan now looked sorta embarrassed. "Oh.....uh...................Okay? Sorry I didn't know. Maybe tomorrow night?"
    "YEAH! Tomorrow night sounds perfect."
    Devin walked in and said,"Ah! Werdam softening up to the Ravenclaw beater are you? I thought you were a Hufflepuff. Ali, are you ready for quidditch practice tonight?"
      I looked at him and said,"Ready as I'll ever be."
   I walked over to the Ravenclaw table and sat down in my usual spot. Pheonix flew into the room carrying a letter from my mom.
   I opened the letter and started reading.
               Dear Ali,
                                I knew you would figure out soon enough. Yes Ferdinand Graves is your father. Please don't tell your daddy I told you this. Your brother's dad loves you as his own child. Ferdinand knows about you, we just agreed to wait to tell you until you were ready. Since you now know, you will live with Ferdinand for a month every summer. If you want you could stay there all summer and live with us during the breaks or live with us during the summer and with him during the breaks.
Please don't think of your daddy any different now that you know that he isn't your biological father. And if you are wondering, I am your biological mother.
                                   Love,
                                             Mom
    This changes my entire perspective on life.
   Haru sat down beside me and said,"I thought you already read the monthly letter reply."
     "Haru, do you know of Ferdinand Graves?"  Haru looked at me, clearly wondering what this has to do with anything.
                 "Yeah he's the beater for the England quidditch team isn't he? He is my favorite quidditch player of all time!"
"Haru read this letter," I gave her the letter and she read it.
      "WAIT! Ferdinand Graves is your biological father!?! That makes you a half blood and not muggle born! How could you not tell me! Wait, you just figured out didn't you."
            Then a tropical bird flew in through the window carrying a letter and a package. The bird flew over to me and dropped its items on the space in front of me.  I opened the letter.
      Dear Ali,
                       You may have just gotten your mother's letter but hopefully you have read it by now. I am your biological father. If anyone tries to hurt you, I will be there in a heart beat. I love you and I hope you forgive me and your mother for not telling you the truth. I talked to your mother and we both decided that it would be best if you move in with me for good. You will be able to visit your mother and siblings from time to time. I heard you got on your house's quidditch team as a beater. That's my girl! I also heard that you got sorted into Ravenclaw. When I went to Hogwarts, I was in Ravenclaw.
                      Sincerely,
                  Ferdinand Graves
I then opened the package. When I opened it, it revealed a small figurine of him holding a baby. There was a note attached to the figurine. The note read:
  I assume you already know the one holding the baby is me. The baby is you. I had a nurse take a picture of me holding you when you were born and recently I had that picture turned into the figurine. This is the figurine that it turned into.
         I walked to class with the figurine in my pocket. Class went as usual. Soon I was standing on the quidditch fields waiting for Devin. A few minutes later Devin arrived.
    "Hey Ali are you ready for practice," asked Devin.
   "Yes. Especially since I figured out this morning that Ferdinand Graves is my biological father."
  He looked at me surprised and said,"So you're a half blood not a muggle born. Lets get started." We started practicing and before I knew it practice was over.
-29 days later-
   Someone was shaking me awake.
"Uuugh," I say.
   "ALI GET UP! YOU'RE ELEVEN YEARS OLD NOW," screamed Haru.
"Let me sleep like five more minutes Haru," I said.
  "If you don't get up now I'll steal all of your books and hide them," said Haru.
    "Do that and I'll turn your hair rainbow," I told Haru.
   I looked at Haru and she had scissors in her hands. Was she also going to cut my hair?
    "Also if you try and cut my hair, I will light all your clothes on fire so you have nothing to wear."
            I got out of bed and put on my school robes.
    I walked into the Great Hall and was greeted by Ethan holding a present. He gave me the present and I sat down at the Ravenclaw table.
    Another tropical bird flew in carrying a letter and a package.
   The letter said:
             Dear Ali,
                              Happy birthday my child. Eleven years ago today you were born. That moment was and still is the best moment of my life. I love you so much. I can't wait until Christmas break is here so I can come and pick you up from Kings Cross station. I sent you a present I hope you like it. Your first quidditch match is tomorrow. Professor Dumbledore is allowing me to come and watch.
             Love,
                Your father
Dad is coming to watch my first quidditch match! I can't wait! I opened the present and it was a poster of his quidditch team! The figures were moving and every now and then dad would soon into view, hit a bludger, and zoom back out of view.
    I opened the present Ethan gave me. Ethan gave me an art book to draw in.
    I love my friends and family.
    Ethan walked up to me and says,"Ali, do you want to be my girlfriend?"
                     After about a minute I said yes and Ethan walked over to his table.
- the next day-
    I got dressed and went into the common room. When I walked inside the common room, I saw dad waiting for me.
    "Dad," I screamed while developing him into a tight hug.
   "Ali, you look so much like me except you have your mum's eyes and hair colour. Oh and your mum's hair texture!"
