Pearlina's point of view....

Age 11....July 21st...

It was my eleventh birthday today. I was a bit excited. It meant that I would be able to attend Hogwarts this year. My father told me stories of his time in Hogwarts. He was in Slytherin. He told me that if I got to go to Hogwarts, then he wanted me to be in any house.

I got dressed and walked down the stairs to the dining room to see my father and stepmother eating their breakfast. "Good morning," I said to them as I walked to my seat. My father gave me a smile. "Good morning and happy birthday sweetie," he said to me.

I looked at my stepmother who gave me a small nod. She wasn't really a warm loving mother growing up. She would give me the look of disgust when I was at the beach or talk about my mother in front of her. I could tell that she hated me.

My father told me stories about my birth mother. I was half mermaid and half witch. It sounded crazy at first until one day, I magically had a tale while swimming on the beach. I was so shocked about myself but, my father didn't seemed shocked at all.

My father told me to make sure that I kept my mermaid half hidden a secret. I would be known as a freak in the wizard world. He said that only very few people knew about me. I promised him that I would keep myself a secret until the time was right.

"I have a present for you," he told me. I looked at him. "What is it?" I asked him. He took out a box and placed it on the table. I took the box and opened it to see two books inside. One book was on merpeople history and the other was on the history of royal mermaids.

I had wanted to read about them but, I was never able to find any books with much information on merpeople besides small chapters in other books. "Thank you dad," I said to him with a smile. He gave me a smile in return.

I ate my breakfast. After breakfast, I made my way into my room and sat on a chair with a perfect view of the ocean. I took the book 'History of the Merpeople' by Tidius. I opened the book and started to read it.

Few hours later, I was still reading the book. I learned about the start of mermaid history in ancient times. The earliest history known was in ancient Greece. I wasn't too surprised since many other books made the reference.

I looked at the time to see that it was almost lunch. I closed the book and made my way to the dining room. Sandwich and soup were on the table. I turned my head to see Gromit the house elf. "Did my father leave for work?" I asked him. "Yes Mistress," he said to me.

"What about my stepmother?" I asked him. "She went out to meet a few of her friends. She won't be back until late," he said to me. "Alright. Thank you," I told him. He bowed to me and walked through a door that led to the kitchen.

I sat down and ate my lunch.

After lunch, I decided to walk on the beach. The beach was located right below my father's manor. I had to walk down the stairs until I hit the sand. I loved the beach and the ocean. I got them from my mother.
