It's been a few months since I was reborn into this world, and I finally know my mother's name. When I first heard it, I couldn't believe it. First, because she's someone I understand is famous, and second, because I was a little disappointed that I wouldn't be able to meet the famous Golden Trio since I was born long, long before them.
And why do I say my mother is famous if she's not from the Harry Potter era? That's simple: her name is Rowena Revenclaw. Yes, that Rowena Revenclaw, one of the founders of Hogwarts.
And let me tell you, she's a very beautiful woman. I hope I inherited some of her looks. I'm not entirely sure, but from what I've seen, she seems to be tall, slender, and curvy where needed. I can only say that my milk supply is hard to empty. Her hair is dark brown, straight, and very long, but what I love most about her are her eyes. They're a beautiful golden color. When I see her and remember the Ravenclaw crest, I think I could compare her to that beautiful and elegant golden eagle that appears on the Mexican flag.
I'm still not sure of my birthdate, but what I am sure of is that Hogwarts has already been founded or is about to be. I think that because I've already met the other three founding members: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, and Helga Hufflepuff.
I don't know them very well since I've seen them very little. The only one I've spent more time with besides my mother is Aunt Helga. I still feel a little strange calling her "aunt," but she calls herself "my aunt" so often when she sees me that I've picked up the habit. The same goes for the other two. Anyway, Aunt Helga is a very kind woman. I think she's the same age as my mother, but she's not as pretty as my mother. She's more like... I think if I say my mother is the sexy type, Aunt Helga is the cute type. I also think she loves food, or at least desserts, since she always smells of freshly baked bread and honey. I think she specializes in healing magic because every time she visits me, she performs diagnostic spells and tells my mother that my health is fine.
Uncle Godric is very... loud and cheerful. I can't say if he's handsome or not since he has a huge beard that covers most of his face, but he does have beautiful hair. It's a deep red color that sometimes makes me think he has fire on his head. I think he specializes in hand-to-hand combat and transfiguration magic since he can create things much faster than even Mom. Whenever Uncle Godric visits me, he transfigures some birds and butterflies that he makes fly around me, and he also makes funny faces and noises to make me laugh. Of the three of us, he's my favorite uncle, even though Mom is always scolding him.
Uncle Salazar is the most serious of the four of us. I also think he's the oldest. He's a handsome man, with an elegant and mature bearing. I believe his specialty is potions and combat enchantments. Most of the time I've seen him, he's always talking about that with Mom. Mom, on the other hand, seems to be good at defensive enchantments and runes, judging by the titles of the books I've seen in our room.
As for me, I wonder who my father is, since I haven't met him yet, even though I'm two months old. I'm also not sure if Mom is married, since I haven't heard anyone mention him. I also wonder if Helena has been born yet, since I know from the movie that Rowena Revenclaw's daughter was named Helena, but that's not my name.
My name is Selene Revenclaw.

Sometimes I wish time would pass more quickly. As a baby, I was only able to do a few chores (mostly physical exercises), and because I could do so little, my rewards were barely one silver coin per day.
I also discovered that 100 coppers are equivalent to 1 silver, and the same applied to gold; 100 silvers were 1 gold. It took me a little over 3 months to accumulate my first gold. I knew this because it seems that copper and silver have a limit of 99 units in my system. I also have the option to withdraw coins or deposit them into the system, although that's not useful to me right now since, as a baby, I don't have or need to have coins on hand, but it's a good option in case I ever need them.
My income increased slightly when I could walk, as I could do a few extra chores. The only thing is that when I learned to walk, Mom started taking potions for headaches because, apparently, I'm a bit of a naughty child, according to Aunt Helga. I don't entirely agree with that statement, as I consider myself very obedient. It's just that when I could walk, Uncle Godric decided to take me for walks around the castle so I could get familiar with it. That on the occasions we went exploring, we ended up knocking over a flowerpot or two in the greenhouse, moving some potion ingredients, or helping Uncle Godric deal with the chocolate chip cookie invasion wasn't my fault. Like a good, obedient child, I followed a responsible adult to make sure there weren't any hidden dangers under the beds while we confirmed that Uncle Salazar's chocolates didn't contain any dangerous substances. We did all this because we were worried about her health and didn't want anything bad to happen to her from eating something dangerous. So, with great courage, Uncle Godric and I We risked our lives and ate those delicacies... I mean, those suspicious cocoa and hazelnut items.
And when the dragon caught us... I mean when Mom found us, she forbade Uncle Godric from taking me out of my playroom for a month. That day was a lot of fun, and I was able to map a large part of the castle thanks to Uncle Godric, and with each new area discovered, a new task was completed.
