This is a fan-fiction and I do not it any way shape or form own Harry Potter.

Okay, so — I won't lie, this one is very self-indulgent. I was craving something light-hearted and fun, and that's exactly what I set out to write. Whether it stays that way... we'll see. 😜
What I will say is that I am genuinely having so much fun with this. My imagination has been going absolutely crazy and I cannot wait for you to get to the good stuff — but we've got a build-up to enjoy first, so settle in.
I tend to be a slow writer, and I'm okay with that. This chapter went through several drafts (the original was completely different, honestly). I take care in what I put out and I want it to actually be good.
I've been overwhelmed with how much obviously AI-generated writing has been flooding this space lately, and I'm sick of it.
There's a difference between using AI as a tool to assist your writing and using it to completely and solely to write your story for you — and it shows. I've found it genuinely hard to find something real to read lately, and that's part of why sharing this super exciting cause I'm sure some of you might feel the same way.
I want to clear up that I am in no way shaming those who use ai, I'll admit I sometimes use it if I want to word something in a different way or need help putting to words what I want but I use most of that material as a guide and end up rewriting the whole thing myself as even that honestly feels wrong. But like I said, it is obvious when it has been completely and utterly been written up by ai and I find that I just can no longer continue stories that are like that. I’ve tried and while some seem to be able to continue… I just can’t 😭
I'd like to clarify now that I don't post on a schedule. I write, edit, and go over everything when I'm in the right headspace for it, and most of my drafts gets edited and looked multiple times till I feel like it is ok to post.
Still relatively new to writing and I am doing a completely different take on how I write compared to my other books.
One last thing — comments, likes, and feedback genuinely mean the world to me.
When I can see that people are excited to find out what happens next, that excitement becomes contagious. I end up channelling it straight into my writing, and honestly? That feeling is hard to beat. So the more love this gets, the more I'm motivated and excited I will be and the more easier it becomes to push myself to write.
Chapters will be kept within the rage of 1.5k-3k words as I find if I try and write long chapters the gap between each update will be infinitely longer and I really want to get a lot of chapters out there cause I am so excited for this.
I really wish I was the kind of person who could write with ease and at a fast pace but as it is I tend to take a while especially when it comes to trying to portray Original Characters in a way that rings true themselves, and it is something I struggle with and hope to get better at.
If you have any further questions regarding anything pls feel free to comment I will do my best to reply to you all!
Thank you for being here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying writing it.
