A Start of a Promise (Intro)
This story is the beginning of a potential series, following the structure of the original books—each installment aligning with a specific Hogwarts school year. This first book primarily explores the protagonist's life before Hogwarts and her experiences during her first year.
The protagonist is Chinoy (Chinese-Filipino), and her cultural background heavily influences her worldview, beliefs, and decision-making throughout the story.
She is in Ginny Weasley's year, making her younger than the main trio and experiencing Hogwarts from a slightly different perspective.
Many characters' descriptions and personalities are based on headcanons, or shaped by the protagonist's perception rather than strict canon interpretations.
Romance takes a backseat, unfolding at a slow pace and rarely taking center stage. The main character is far more invested in her academics and friendships than in romantic entanglements.
The story follows the main plot of the books, meaning certain canon characters—such as Hermione, Molly, and Ginny—might exhibit misogynistic tendencies, reflecting some of the biases present in the original narrative.
Trigger warnings will be provided at the beginning of each chapter to ensure readers are informed about potentially sensitive content.
