[Harry Potter] Cecilia

Cecilia has long hair in a pale gold so close to silver it almost seems white, and eyes the palest blue of a clear sky. She possesses a power she herself does not yet fully understand, but she can’t figure out why bread tastes better with butter. She knows the price one must pay to make a wish come true, but not why people always seem so affected when they say, “It’s fine.” At the age of eleven, Dumbledore brings her to Hogwarts. Dumbledore hopes she can learn how to get along with people there. Hogwarts immediately provides her with an overly comprehensive practical curriculum: staircases that change direction, portraits addicted to gossip, professors of dubious origins, and a major disaster almost every school year, usually around exam time. Everyone wants to know what Grindelwald created. A weapon, a miracle, or a wish wearing a human face? After all, it is only after arriving at Hogwarts that she begins to consider another question: What happens when a creation born to grant other people’s wishes starts having wishes of its own? *The complete novel is written and will be posted on a set schedule every day. Theme: She was born from a wish, and ultimately grew into herself.
