My life changed instantly when I found out I was a witch. All my life was normal; a normal "mum" and a normal "dad". Their names are May and Oliver. I led a "normal" life, if you can include the times I blew something up, turned my teacher's hair blue, and all the other strange things that has happened to me since I was born.
But I was adopted by May and Oliver. They weren't my real parents, no matter how much they treated me like a daughter. Merlin, I didn't even know I was adopted until that day.
I guess I should tell you a bit more about myself.
Hi, I'm Amber Lupin, daughter of Remus Lupin and Isabel Dare. I have blond hair that stops at my mid-back and green eyes. I just turned 11 in February and I live in London. I like adventures and I'm really curious. My godfather is Sirius Black and I'm a pureblood (not that I care about blood status).
And, yes, I fully well know that my dad is a werewolf, but I don't care about that. Dad is still Dad and nothing will change that, except he killed my real mum when I was one. But that was an accident. He was a werewolf at that time and he didn't have control over himself.
So, enough with the introductions and let's go on with the story.
It all happened during the summer. I was happily unaware that I was a witch and was making breakfast for my parents.
"Good morning, Amber," Mum greeted me, entering the kitchen.
"'Morning, Mum," I replied.
Mum smiled and pinched my cheek, which really hurt. But, being the polite 11-year-old I am, I didn't say anything.
"Making breakfast for us, I see," Mum observed. I nodded.
"When the toast comes out of the toaster, everything will be ready for you two," I assured her.
"Good morning, ladies," Dad came into the kitchen. "Mmmm, is that French toast, pancakes, and eggs I smell?"
"Breakfast's ready!" I yelled. I can't help it, I was hyper that morning.
Later that day, they left to a date. After an hour or so, I saw this huge person walking through the hall way. I went running to my room, grabbed the phone, and went right underneath the bed when I was about to call my parents, but he said, "I don't want to hurt you!"
He said it in such a sweet way that I got out of the bed. He said, "You are a witch, Amber, haven't you noticed? Haven't you done something weird that anyone else can't do?"
"Well, yes, once I got mad with a teacher and suddenly her hair got blue and…" I said.
"That is exactly what I was talking about. By the way, my name is Hagrid. So, do you wanna come to Hogwarts?" Hagrid said.
"What is Hogwarts?" I asked.
Hagrid laughed. "She is asking what Hogwarts is," he said to himself. "Well Hogwarts is a school for witches a wizards just like you."
Okay, I thought. Why not? "What about Mum and Dad?"
"We'll tell them when they come back," Hagrid said. "Now, do you have some tea?"
I quickly went to the kitchen to make some tea for Hagrid.
Ten minutes later he gave me list of supplies for school and a ticket for "Hogwarts Express"
I gave him the tea and he left. I really wanted to go to Hogwarts but I didn't knew if I wanted to leave my parents. It was a really tough disicion but I choose Hogwarts since I wanted to start a new , suddenly, my parents arrived. I couldn't tell them, "Hey Mum, Dad, a tall man just came inside the house and invited me to Hogwarts, a school for witches and wizards. Oh, and I'm a witch." I couldn't tell them. So, I had to come with an idea if I wanted to go to Hogwarts. But I had to tell them because if I didn't go I felt like I was missing out on something great.
"Mum, Dad, I have to tell you something really important…" I said.
Mum, interrupting, said, "Don't tell me you just discovered you are a witch."
I stooped talking and she said, "Oh no, you've discovered."
"How long do you know that?" I asked.
"Since I adopted you."
"You adopted me?" I said it in a sad way.
"Yes, but think about it in a good way," Mum said
"How can I see this in a good way if you lied to me for ten years?"
"I mean that if we haven't adopted you, where would you be now?"
"You have a point, but why didn't you told me before?"
"We didn't wanted to hurt you."
"Well you did!"
I went up stairs in that moment. I hated them so much that I wished more than ever to leave. Then suddenly the lights of the street turned off and then I saw this man with blond hair and blue eyes. The creepy part was that he had my blond hair.
I went down to the street. I suspected that he had to do something to do with Hogwarts so when I arrived he said, "My name is Remus Lupin, your father."
"Why did you leave me to be adopted?" I asked, tears in my eyes. "Don't you love me?"
"Of course I love you!" Dad exclaimed. "The reason I left you to be adopted was because when you were one, I turned into a werewolf and killed your mother. I was so ashamed, I left you to be adopted. I didn't want what happened to your mother happen to you, too." A few tears slipped. "That will never happen. You have control over yourself, I know you do. Your my dad and nothing will change that fact."
Dad smiled, and took my hand.
I had just met my real father. And I couldn't be happier about that.
