Y/N is a Pure Blood. She lives with her older sister Anna Rey Hart when she is not at Hogwarts. Anna is a half-blood, Y/N and Anna share the same father, but different mothers. Y/N's parents were very emotionally abusive and you moved in with your sister in the summer going into your 6th year at Hogwarts.
Your father is in Azkaban for drunkenly killing not only a muggle-born but a gay one. Extremely homophobic towards men, as his saying goes, "I'm fine if you are gay, just not a feminine dude, a man has to take care of his family. And it is more natural if a girl is gay". He was a pretentious, prideful, and unnerving alcoholic narcissist. Not to have stereotypes, one would think that with his bad qualities, he might have been a Gryffindor, but he was a Slytherin. You yourself are a Gryffindor. The difference between the two of you as cunning as you can be or ambitious is that not only did you take pride in yourself, but you always tried to do the right thing. There were always moral limits to everything you did. And both of your parents were cowards, and only did things for themselves. However, you valued bravery, was very daring at times, and would do anything to protect your friends. If you didn't have your friends, teammates in quidditch, you would have run away never looked back. Your mother always tried to make you be exactly like her and got upset if you weren't. Always telling you everything you did was not enough or acting as though everything you've accomplished was nothing to be proud of.
Now that you moved in with your sister, everything has begun to change. You have become more relaxed and confident because even if your sister believes you to be a weirdo, she never judges you for it. This is another reason why you love your best friend Niklaus, or as you call him, Nik. The first day you met in 1st year, you instantly bonded. You both have muggle family members so it's easy to talk to him about the different movies, videogames, and American singers. You both especially bonded over Jurassic Park and Star Wars. No matter what situation either of you got into, you both never judged, and stuck together. Another thing you noticed about him was that he was extremely kind to everyone, even strangers, and protective of you. He helped you see yourself as you were, confident, loving, outgoing, and secretly simply wanting to be understood as that. Being bullied at a young age and having a horrible home to go to, made you distrustful of others and shy to open up to friends at times, but it never really stopped you. When he came into your life, you always had a smile on your face. You were elated when you figured out that both of you were placed in Gryffindor. Eventually, you had a huge crush on Nik and looked forward to hanging out with him every day in classes like Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures, and who can forget, lunch in the great hall to play card games! DADA and Care of Magical Creatures were your best subjects other than Herbology and Transfiguration. You also enjoyed the other classes, but they weren't your passions. It just so happened that Nik wanted to work with animals just like you did. At first, before you joined Hogwarts, you both wanted to work with marine animals back in the muggle world. But now that you find that in the wizarding world, the animals here are very much complex in emotions just as in the muggle world, however much rarer and magical. A part of you still wanted to work with marine animals, but you knew to live in the wizarding world, it would be more beneficial to work with magical creatures such as working with a phoenix. They are known for their healing properties. Perhaps she could use her knowledge of magical creatures to help both animals and people. Other than Nik, you and your friend Xana, a Hufflepuff, are really close as well. It sucked that she was in a different house than you, and a year behind. At first, it started as a rivalry that you yourself did not take part in. But Xana liked Nik at first and thought you were trying to steal him away. Not that you had to steal him away even if you wanted to, he was your best friend and knew he would choose you. Xana let herself get used to you and figured out he was more like a brother to her than a boyfriend. The three of you liked the same things and became your own trio. You joined the quidditch team along with Nik in your 3rd year. You were the seeker meanwhile Nik was the chaser, he was fast. It was a struggle because Professor McGonnagal wanted Harry Potter to be a seeker too. She couldn't decide which one of us was better, so me and Harry would take turns at different games being a seeker and a beater. Xana stayed in the choir and band which I and Nik used to be in. Now Xana cheered for you and Nik. You loved quidditch and stuck with it. The summer passed by rather quickly after spending time at a marine biology camp called Seanoria for a week and hanging out with Xana the whole summer.
Now it is your 6th year starting on September 1st, now August 6th at noon. You are looking forward to this year's quidditch team. Oliver is our captain this year, and the rest of us did exceptionally well as a team last year. In your flying class, you had Professor Delacour. But now she decided to coach the Jollyhead Harpies Adult team. Headmaster Professor Dumbledore promised us that he would find a suitable coach to keep us on our feet for practices and learning new techniques. I mean he has to, how else am I gonna keep myself stimulated and let loose from all of the homework I get, especially in Potions class! The only question is, who could it be? And I wonder if they actually know what they are doing? They better, otherwise me, Harry, Nik, and Oliver will have to teach the team ourselves when the new coach isn't around. Looking forward to the new year, you remained optimistic about the new year, and couldn't wait to see your best friends and tell them about your whole summer. Just a few more weeks and then I can see them at Diagon Alley for textbooks. And this year my sister Anna said she would buy me my very own owl! Personally, I would rather a dragon or a phoenix, but owls are just as lovely and not as expensive. I just have to be careful because I do have a guinea pig and I don't want my owl to try and eat him. I will miss him while I am gone since guinea pigs are not allowed as pets at Hogwarts. But it doesn't change my excitement for this year.
* Few hours later*
Y/N!, you hear someone shout outside your room.
Yes, what's up? You asked.
"You've got a letter from Xana, Nik, and Harry", Barron just hopped in the window, could you give the owl some water? Anna asks as she walks in and hands the letters to me.
"Yeah sure, thanks for letting me know, I've been waiting forever for them to reply," you say exhaustedly.
