A long way.
A long way.
The Wizarding World was healing, wizards and witches were killed in the hands of Lord Voldemort, emptiness took place in the whole world but slowly, and thanks to the few hands left, it started to take a turn, a good path to the future.
YLN, YN was a mere child when this happen, her parents, mere muggles, decided to escape far away from England, they head over across the sea to the so called "Land of Freedom", the United States of America , in which they found a shelter as the world they known crumble. YN could only watch has her land was destroy and many of her kind were killed, it broke her heart in pieces. She couldn't do anything, she felt worthless as her school, Hogwarts, was the main target but she was just a child, a mere thirteen year old, why would she feel guilty? She doesn't know. The Magical Congress of the United States of America was a safe place for many wizard and muggle children and adults to take shield and protection, even tho they believed that Voldemort wasn't interested at all in USA, the congress had to be prepared for anything, Voldemort could snap his fingers and all of his lackeys would go all the way there just to rule one of the many powerful heads of the Wizarding World.
In the moment, she didn't know what happen but everyone cheer and cried, it was when she read the news in the newspaper after months of pain and agony. "Harry Potter save the Wizarding World!" Her eyes open wide. She couldn't believe and neither her parents. Finally, finally she would go back home.
In the present day...
Six years had pass, a lot had happen since then, since the year which Voldemort took over the school was completely lost, most of the students had to repeat their years and that included YN, she had to work her way to make herself worthy to be called a proper witch, and not any sort of witch, a daughter of muggle parents. Her biggest inspiration was Hermione Granger, who is also a witch with muggle parents. She would always smile since childhood everytime she would look at pictures of Hermione being now the new face of the Ministry of Magic but something else would caught tight Ms. YLS... The muggle culture.
Since her time in the USA until today, she was fascinated with all the new technologies, she had discover this new sort of machine, the "Internet", she discover also the term "Subcultures" in which many people, all muggles, dress up in such delightful and interesting ways. She got obsessed with this and she couldn't believe how this culture wasn't anywhere in The Wizarding World, she couldn't take it. So, since tomorrow she will start her last year in Hogwarts, she decided to do something different, something that will put her on the middle of the stage, her last time being shine by the spotlight, same light who will drag a interesting moth into it.
After a very long day, where YN had to wait on the Hogwarts express with her belongings, including her owl, Chuza, a beautiful male Eagle owl who spend the whole ride inside of his silver cage sleeping, and had to take a carriage pull for two invisible entities, she and her classmates finally arrive to Hogwarts. As usual, the first two hours are spend inside the Dinning Hall, everytime she is inside, she cant help but to be amazed, it always amazed her since she was a child. Such fine architecture. But has her Y/E/C eyes fall from the ceiling down to the people sitting on the tables, she notices from afar a well known figure, professor Severus Snape. She takes a deep breath as she looks at him.
Her relationship with the professor is rather odd, in her own words. When she was eleven, in her first year, she had a big crush on him, she would always tried her best on his subject but she would fail no matter what but has the years when on and after the Second Wizarding War, her thoughts on him change, sightly. Clearly, everyone hate him, he is now known as the one who killed Dumbledore, the one who betrayed everyone and the one who took control of the school under the dangerous hand of Voldemort but she doesn't hate him, it just breaks her heart knowing that he did all of that but it has been years now, six years, six years in which she still has hopes for him, hope that his story might be different now.
The Sorting Ceremony finishes, some of her Hufflepuff classmates greet and cheer up the new students who got selected in the house, she just claps and smiles to the new young students. Later on, the prefect of her house would guide everyone in, and as the prefect shows and teaches the new students where are they their bedrooms, YN would go upstairs and enter to her shared bedroom. She takes a deep breath as she lays down in bed, thinking now that this is her last year, what would she do with her life now? Which path should she follow? She abruptly sits in her bed and thinks. What if I don't find anything that brings me joy? What if I am not good enough for the future in this world?, knowing that this thoughts will cause her a big headache, she quickly stands up and search's for her belongings on her satchel and sighs in relief as she pulls out her beautiful iPod.
Without hesitation, she puts on her earphones and puts on one of her favorites songs, "Dance, Dance" by Fall out Boy from their last album. YN would start shaking her head slowly until the pace of the song speeds up and gets into the chorus were she would just start singing it out loud. Singing and listening to music is a way to escape, escape from this strict and different Wizarding World, she fell in love with the muggle life style. Their people, their simplicity, their music, everything it has such a thing that the wizards wouldn't never get but as she is singing, one of her roommate enters to the bedroom, opening the door abruptly and making YN to jump a little up.
"Hey! YN, what we did tell you about the volume?" Asks with a annoy tone of voice Folsi Rets, a classmate of hers.
"Folsi! I-I'm sorry, I just needed to... Distract myself a little." Answers back YN with a low tone of embarrassment as she takes off her earphones and places her iPod down to her bed.
Folsi sighs, frustrated."Listen, I don't mind if you listen to your...Music but just don't sing. You know how neurotic our amazing prefect gets when one person doesn't follow her rules." Says Folsi trying to avoid a chuckle but giving up in the end of her sentence, same thing YN does.
"Yeah, she does get annoying. Okay, Ill keep it down now." Answers back YN with a understanding smile.
Folsi leaves the bedroom and YN sighs, placing her hands on her face tired. Why does this world doesn't let me to be happy? For once?
