Jay walked up to the owlery she was going to send a letter to her mum that contained a letter for her muggle friend but first she had one to open. Jay's mum and dad had been separated for years, Jay didn't even know her dad but apparently he had married a witch and they had gotten information out of Sunny, that Jay was at Hogwarts. They had sent a letter.
Jay leaned on the stone wall as owls hooted overhead, she sent off the letter to her mum. Jay did it slowly as if she was putting off opening the letter from her dad. Once she sent the owl off she reached for the letter in her back pocket and opened it carefully and slowly.
Dear Jay:
Your mother told me you are now attending Hogwarts, that is such an achievement, I'm proud of you
"Not really" she muttered Jay's hands clenched and she nearly ripped the paper, her knuckles turning white and her hair fading to black and red. Anger.
But I want to make amends, you are coming to Tokyo for the holidays. Your mother already agreed. You can meet Amara. We got married in the winter before last, she can't wait to meet you, she's a pureblood and you would love her.
Jay was ready to rip apart the letter and throw it out the window but she needed to finish reading it, she needed to know.
She has a daughter is your age, they go to a different school though, her name is Hikari and I want her to meet you I attached a photo of us all so you could see
Jay unfolded the photo tucked in the envelope, it had a man with dark brown hair and brown eyes with tanned skin and a woman with a pale complexion and blonde hair, Jay knew just by looking at it that it was bleached.
In all seriousness that's a nice dye job
She was wearing a long formal black dress, a cloak over the top with extravagant jewelry scattered all around her face and neck, her hair was pulled away from her face, she looked sharp maybe even a bit mean.
-Your Father
Jay didn't read that last bit. She dropped the letter and fell to her knees in horror. On top of leaving them, no contact to Jay at all he was telling her what to do, sounded like a complete asshole and now she needed to spend the holidays with him and his wife? Tears dripped from Jay's eyes as she picked up the letter and pulled out her wand.
"Incendio" she whispered softly, the paper catching fire and turning to ash within seconds.
Jay stood and wiped her tears, she was angry, at her mum at her dad at herself at anything that she could be angry at.

Coded by Melissa BlakeI decided to skip breakfast today. I had woken up to a headache that was killing me, yet I wanted to go to the owlery first.
Days ago, I had gotten a letter from my dad saying that something was about to happen on the first weekend of the summer break. And, by the tone of the letter, I was not going to like it. So, whether my dear and beloved father wanted it or not, I was going to ask and get that information out of him.
What I didn't expect to see when I arrived was to see a girl in the owlery. I hesitated at the entrance for a moment, she seemed... affected. I saw her burning a letter with quiet anger. Whatever the content of the letter was, she was not happy with it, at all.
I also noticed the hair, half of it being pink. I narrowed, tilting my head, thinking about how many chances there were for me to always have things with girls who had their hair dyed.
Taking all my bravery, I decided to step into the owlery, completely trying to ignore the girl.
But she seemed... bad. Sad. Angry. With my back turned to her, I cursed myself and the Saints. They wouldn't forgive me if I just left her here.
"... you okay?" I muttered.Stamina: 6 | Evasion: 6 | Strength: 4 | Wisdom: 7 | Arc Power: 6 | Accuracy: 6

Jay whirled around in shock and surprise, her hair showing her emotions extra loudly as usual, flashed white as icy lavender streaks climbed up through her hair as Jay's eyes landed on the girl standing in the owlery behind her.
She quickly rubbed her eyes to get rid of whatever tears there may be, quickly realizing that made it worse, she lowered her hands and looked at the other girl, who was still staring. Jay was clutching onto her wand like a lifeline and both her hands were shaking. "I'm fine" the lie spilled out of her mouth easily, too easy and Jay hated the feeling of it.
"I'm fine" she repeated it again, hoping to make it more real. Instead she sank onto the floor and closed her eyes, thinking about the letter.
Why did Sunny say yes? Why? How did he worm his way into her mind?
Jay slammed the back of her fist into the brick wall and immediately regretted it as pain shot through her hand and up her arm, she pulled her fist away and saw she had scraped it open and there was a bit of blood pooling on her fist. Jay hissed in pain, noticing that she was still being looked at.
"Did you come here for a reason?" Jay muttered, pocketing her wand and pulling her arms inside her sweater. Jay glanced back at her and noticed that she seemed genuinely concerned, not just asking Jay to make herself feel better.
"I just got a bad letter, my dad isn't a great guy and I have to be with him during the holidays now, custody thing" she leaned her head back before continuing "My parents are split, I've actually never met my dad, this is the first letter I have ever gotten from him and now I can't see my mum anymore"
If Jay was stuck with her dad over the holidays... how would she see Sunny? The distance between London and Tokyo was daunting, it's not like she could just catch a train to home. Her dad's argument was probably that he had never seen Jay and now she was at school all the time he should get her for the holidays. After all. It seemed fair. Didn't it? To any outsider yeah it might, but to Jay? Having to leave her mum was like ripping a piece of her heart out and chucking it off the Astronomy tower.
At least when she left for Hogwarts she knew she would be coming back... at least, that's what she had thought.

OMG I'M SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY
Coded by Melissa BlakeOh, it was way worse than it seemed.
I just stood there, awkwardly, frozen, as she rambled about it and... yeah, it sucked. Slowly, I took a step closer to her, then another, until I was in front of her.
I had never thought about it in that way. My dad was the best father in the whole world, and living my whole life under that same mind meant that I never thought any dad would be bad to their family or their children. My dad loved my mom. He loves me. Why can't every dad be the same?
I bit my lip before speaking.
"Well... I have absolutely no idea of what could've happened between your parents or your relation with your father, but if it makes you so mad..." Sigh. Where are you trying to go with this? Just spill it out.
"If you have never seen him, how are you sure he's that bad? I mean, yeah, once again, I have no context at all, but... he can't be that bad, right?"
Well, call me a hopeless believer, but I truly thought that no father could be so bad to their kids. I still believed in real, good families. I was born and raised in one of them, after all. I'd be a fool if I didn't believe in it.Stamina: 6 | Evasion: 6 | Strength: 4 | Wisdom: 7 | Arc Power: 6 | Accuracy: 6

Jay scoffed, this girl had no idea. Sure she was trying to help open up a perspective for Jay but she hadn’t seen that letter. She hadn’t spent her whole life without a parent, no messages no birthday cards not even a single word.
So she laughed. “My dad abandoned me, he told my mum he didn’t need us. That he didn’t wasn’t us and then he left” Jay tilted her head towards the ceiling, her eyes clear and alert ”we struggled for so long and he didn’t do anything to help us” Jay raised her voice for this part, only ever so slightly. “That letter was the only sort of contact I have ever had with him and it was so cold”
The letter had been written with no feelings or emotions to it, Jay felt so powerless just reading it. “And you’d think if he really cared about my feelings, he would ask what I wanted” Jay had tears forming in the corner of her eyes as she spoke. “I don’t want to go to see him, he doesn’t deserve it”
Proper tears had formed now. ”Nothing. For eleven years. Nothing. Yet now he has he audacity to send an owl and act like he’s a loving father.” Jay was outraged by this fact, if he wanted to connect he had his chance. He had had nearly a decade to make reach out and did he?
No.

Coded by Melissa BlakeI swallowed, still not so sure of what to do or say now.
Honestly, I had no idea a father could act like this. How could a man just not want his own family? I remember my mom showing me my pictures of when I was a baby, my dad holding me like I was the universe itself. How can a person just not appreciate that?
So I don't know what inspired me to talk, but I ended up saying the most impulsive thing ever.
"I have an idea. Go with him and make his life impossible. If he's able to make his own life after he couldn't make a family for you, the he doesn't deserve it. Ruin it. Don't let him sleep, sabotage his daily routine. Anything. And if he gets mad enough to send you back to your mom, then... Fine, right? You wouldn't have to deal with each other."
I was furious. If her father could change and live a normal, different life, it means he was always capable of changing and having a family.
Sigh.
"I may sound too... Romantic, maybe even cliche, but I believe in good families. And this, what your father is doing, is not a good family or a good place to live at. You have the chance to change it. Do what he wants. Go. And once he realizes that you don't need him and you hate him, he'll leave you alone."Stamina: 6 | Evasion: 6 | Strength: 4 | Wisdom: 7 | Arc Power: 6 | Accuracy: 6

Jay lifted her head up slightly to stare at her, make his life miserable, impossible, ruin his family…
I already have several ideas
“That’s…” Jay paused, a good idea, a great one even. “Amazing” The one thing Jay was worried about us that he wouldn’t leave her alone.
The way Sunny had described his letter to her, her father was obsessed with being this picture perfect father.
I’ll just have to do my worst and beyond
Jay listened as the other girl talked about good families, she was a bit hesitant to say it as though Jay might judge her for it. “I understand that, my mum and I are a great fit, it’s always just been me and her and that was always enough”
Jay smiled“I pity him really, I don’t think he’s happy, and I don’t think he really will be” she pondered her next words “It’s sad really” she finished.
Jay had been so lost in her own thoughts she realised she didn’t actually know this girls name. “I’m Jay, Jay Valkyrie” she stood up and brushed herself off “most people recognise the last name, or my hair for that matter” she held out her hand, something she never really did “I don’t think I’ve met you before…”

Coded by Melissa BlakeOh.
Oh.
My advice helped someone? Weird. Usually, people never asked for it and, when I gave it anyway, no one ever followed the words of a kid with a grown-up mind.
'I don’t think he’s happy, and I don’t think he really will be'
Oh, it sucked. I never thought a father could be so bad that his own daughter would think that way of him. Her next words snapped me out of my daydream.
Jay Valkyrie? Nope, no clue. Didn't recognize the hair either.
But I seemed to have a type for finding girls with random hair colors, I thought, when Sky crossed my mind.
The last name. Valkyrie... No. No idea.
I really did live under a cave. Who the hell were the Valkyries?
Hesitatingly, I accepted her hand.
"Being honest, I have no idea who you are, but cool hair! I'm Hendricks, Mikaela Hendricks. I don't think you know the last name, my dad's a muggle and... Yeah."
But if she expected me to recognize her by her last name, it meant that she had to be, at least, a wizard born, if not a pure-blood. And if she was one of those, what if she didn't like Muggle-borns? I mean, I'm not one, but I just told her my dad's a muggle. Well done, Mikaela.
Let's just cross our fingers and pray to the Saints she's an ally, then. There's nothing I can do now.Stamina: 6 | Evasion: 6 | Strength: 4 | Wisdom: 7 | Arc Power: 6 | Accuracy: 6

Jay smiled softly, "That makes you and me both then" growing up in the muggle world, even with a witch mother had made her quite widely accepting "I'm a half-blood, I grew up in the muggle world with my mum, she's a witch" Jay had never really cared about blood status, it wasn't something that she really thought mattered.
We all bleed the same colour, so we should respect each other, muggle or witch.
"I'm not related to any special magic bloodline, my mum is an Astronomer and we live in the middle of London in an apartment on the fifth floor" That had been Jay's life. Her whole childhood. An apartment, her mum and two weird pets. "I even went to a muggle school, not very common for students here unless they're muggleborn, I liked it though, it was ...interesting but it gives you a good perspective on the world I guess"
"I've had..." Jay paused, trying to think of the right word to use. "A different childhood, that's for certain" She leaned against the wall, Jay hadn't dressed for classes, she had forgotten in her earlier distress and headed straight for the owlery and now, she was looking at Mikaela who was in uniform.
Fuck... I'll just make an excuse to my professor when I'm late...
"How about you? Your life before Hogwarts?

Coded by Melissa BlakeI felt something in my stomach at her question. Nausea, I identified.
Hell, no. I cannot tell her about the doctors and the exams and the fact that I'm different.
Instead, I decided to do what I'm best at: Distract myself. So, lifting up my hand just slightly, I glanced at the clock. Hopefully, it was class time already, right? And then I could leave and...
No. The clock looked back at me and, if it had a face, I'd swear it was mocking me. There were still thirty beautiful minutes before class. Perfect. Amazing.
Well, there was no way to escaping this one. I sighed.
"My mom died two years ago. She was something like a... journalist, I never understood it. Since then, it's only been me and dad." This was the first time I talked about my mom with someone who wasn't Sky or my dad. And by the strange pressure that was coming to my chest, I noticed inmediately that I had to stop.
"I also grew up in a very muggle place. A simple house with two floors. Dad has a good job, and about the schools... well, ironically, despite being a Ravenclaw, teachers decided I was a failure to the academic system." I finished with a sarcastic laugh.
"It's kind of a... long story."Stamina: 6 | Evasion: 6 | Strength: 4 | Wisdom: 7 | Arc Power: 6 | Accuracy: 6
