headcanon // after exams
niamh had never known a detail about either of her birthparents and she wasn’t allowed to find out until she was 18 --- muggle laws. she knew one of them had to be a muggle, she did have a birth certificate, a muggle one which had somehow magically appeared with her at the wizarding hospital. however unknown to most it had been her father that had dropped her there, the girl’s mother dying soon after the small redhead was born. the man had wanted nothing to do with the pregnancy though towards the end he had a change of heart and had come back, only to hear the news. her mother, a muggle, had left the girl in care of an orphanage. something soon rectified and she was ‘taken care of’ and the wizard never heard about his daughter ever again, he came from an esteemed pureblood family in america and couldn’t have the girl taint that. the man remarried and had three sons. yet, the memory of the small child he had held so very young and for such a short time never left him and one day he broke, and the man did everything he could, he just needed to talk to the girl. the news of this would reach the redhead on the last day of her exams, and as soon as they were over she would pack up her things, her results would be mailed anyway. this had been something, a part of her she had wanted to find out ever since she could fathom how she came to be. though admittedly she was a little scared. and angry. this man had been one who had abandoned her. not wanting to do it alone, she asked one of her closest long-time friends izaak to come. he too had experienced loss and perhaps he would be one of the best people to come on the trip with her, he was not only someone she trusted and cared about, but someone who she knew would understand how hard it might be. so the pair of them set off for america, after the girl said her goodbyes, where they were to meet someone she had wanted to know her whole life.
