Aria

Backstory

When I was 2, I was given up for adoption. I lived in the orphanage, and the people there became my family. Until I was 7, when I was adopted by the most loving family I could dream of. Every week I sent letters to the orphanage I was raised in. 2 years later, I stopped sending them. I was growing up. They weren't my family anymore. What I didn't know however, was that my mother continued to send the letters, telling them how I was doing, sending yearbook pictures, telling about milestones like my double-digits birthday. I got a birthday card signed by everyone every year. I started to pick up the letters again, but instead of to the orphanage, I sent them to Anthony Green, my best friend at the orphanage, who still hadn't been adopted. I told him everything, people I met, experiences I've had, the feelings I've felt, and he would send them back. Every other weekend we would drive down to the orphanage, it was only a 2 hour drive after all. That's why it was so hard for me to not tell him when a man by the name of Severus Snape knocked on our door. He told me I was a witch, and I was set to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on the 1st of September. I went to a place called Diagon Alley, and it was wonderful. The day of the first rolled around, and I got on the train, still upset that I wouldn't be able to see Anthony every other weekend. That' when I saw him. Anthony was there, looking for an apartment. It was him. And now we're here at Hogwarts. Together.
