To J.K. Rowling,

Consider this a thank you. A thank you for Harry, for adventures, for the magic that lives in my veins. A thank you for Hermione, for seeing myself on the page as a hero. For Ron, for his loyalty and imperfections. Thank you for Ginny, Luna, for Tonks, for beautiful girls who wield wonderful power. Thank you. A million times, thank you.

Thank you for Hufflepuff. For sunshine common rooms and badger pride. Thank you for giving me a home. For giving me a name. Justice. Loyalty. Hard work. Thank you for helping me see these. Thank you for this part of my soul, this part of my identity, this part of me. 

Thank you for dragons, for hippogriffs, and animagi. Thank you for ghosts, for professors that turn into cats and back again. Thank you for smiling boys playing pranks, thank you for girls who stand up for themselves to their friends. Thank you for metamorphigi and magic spells. Thank you for the memories, for the comfort and the company.

Thank you for inviting me into your world and thank you for letting me make my home here. A million thanks. Even if I had a time turner, I’d never have enough time to say thanks.

Sincerely, 

A muggle made a witch by the ink from your finger tips
