Happiest Memory

Perhaps it was the warm summer morning when Alain surprised her with Lumi. Or maybe it was when the Sorting Hat had announced to all of Hogwarts that she would be in “Gryffindor!” Though both of these are important and happy memories (which is the answer Valeria would have given if she were asked this question by a stranger), deep down she values the odd times her parents had praised her work with genuine smiles, without any criticism - this simple thing that one may think of as insignificant is Valeria’s happiest memory where she actually felt successful and loved by her parents.
