Janmashtami, Hindu festival celebrating the birth (Janma) of the god Krishna on the eighth (Ashtami) day of the dark fortnight of the month of Bhadrapada (August–September). The number eight has another significance in the Krishna legend in that he is the eighth child of his mother, Devaki. I always used to consume only milk based products on this day before and I did so even today

Today was Janmashtami, the day Lord Krishna was born and you've read many of his stories and you've always admired him ever since you were a kid. You admired him even now as well. Your favorite story of Lord Krishna was when he ate some clay when he was a kid one day and his brother complained to their mother, Yashoda. When she asked him to open his mouth she saw the entire universe in his mouth with all the places on Earth. You also admired Lord Krishna's resilience and patience and his kind heart, he was always willing to help people in need and he'd barely even react when someone insults him. He has a LOT of patience but when he does get mad, things do get serious. Like in the Indian epic the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna didn't react that much when Prince Sishupala of the Chedi kingdom insulted him so much despite him being his cousin, he still kept quiet. It was only when he insulted the great warrior Bhishma was when he got really angry and killed him with his celestial discus. He also showed his eternal form, the Vishwaroopam to Arjuna, the third Pandava(There are two sides, the Pandavas, the sons of the late king Pandu and the Kauravas, the 100 sons of king Dhritarashtra. There's also a daughter by the name Dushala so a total of 101 children, god damn😳), Karna, the forgotten Pandava since he was the son of the mother of the Pandavas, Kunti, the teacher of the Pandavas and Kauravas, Guru Drona and lastly Bhishma

You'd read about the stories of Lord Krishna and you'd have a small smile on your face whenever you read about him pranking people. It always amused you. Every time something was wrong in your life you'd silently pray to Lord Krishna and miraculously it would be like the problem didn't even exist. You practiced the flute and you could play it really well, the flute was an instrument usually associated with Lord Krishna. Ever since you were a kid, you've made it a habit to always consume only milk based products on this day(I'm really sorry lactose intolerant people, I don't mean to offend you with this fic but if you do get offended by something here please let me know so I can make the corrections or take it down) and you started your day by consuming a glass of milk and you carried your good luck charm with you, your flute so you could play it when you were free

You reached your class and even though you were present physically in class, your mind wandered somewhere else and you weren't really paying attention to what Lupin was saying till he called your name. "Y/N! Is everything all right?'' and you looked embarrassed as you nodded your head and looked flustered. You did the same thing during the Transfiguration class as well but McGonagall just sighed and told you to pay attention next time. You didn't notice that a certain guy wasn't really pleased with your performance today and it was none other than the Gryffindor head boy, Percy Ignatius Weasley. You were usually so attentive and alert during classes, what prompted you to act like this today? Was it lack of sleep? If so he'd better start keeping an eye on you and your sleeping schedule since he didn't want your health deteriorating after all, he cared too much for you even if you didn't notice it

Percy Weasley, the most uptight student who had a lot of ambition in life always thought he'd never fall in love with anyone during his time at Hogwarts but then he met you. The first time he met you was when you were at the top of the Astronomy tower playing your flute. He heard some music coming from the Astronomy tower and he was tempted to come up there and stop the person from playing music since it wasn't allowed but when he saw you, the way the sun glistened around you, making it look like you were emitting light from your aura, the way your hair billowed against the gentle breeze and the way your lips were curved into a soft smile to yourself as you played the music of the gods and angels. For the first time Percy was at a loss for words, even though he barely talked with you he was feeling conflicted with himself since he couldn't tell you off for playing music or your flute on the rooftop. So he just stood there and basked in your calming presence. He felt at ease when he heard you play your flute, it was like there was nothing to be afraid of anymore, he felt.... he felt free and happy. Was this your power of some sort? You opened your eyes and saw Iida staring at you and you smiled and called out to him. "Percy is something the matter?' you asked and he cleared his throat as he snapped out of his trance and adjusted his glasses as he replied "Well yes, as a matter of fact there is. You should be in the Great Hall now having your lunch but here you are'' and you told him that you wanted to play your flute and you weren't hungry however he wasn't having any of it. He literally dragged you back to the cafeteria and made you sit right next to him as he made sure you ate every last morsel and crumb of your food and watched you like a hawk

You both bonded with each other as time went by and he was enthralled with everything about your culture. The first time he saw you in an Indian dress was when you had to attend a distant relative's wedding and you invited Percy for company and he was honored and thrilled to be invited by you. His jaw dropped when he saw you and his heart skipped a beat, he was mesmerized by your beauty. When you said you looked like weird it stung him that you would say something negative like that about yourself when he saw you as someone perfect and wonderful. When you entered the wedding hall, he made sure to stick by you at all times since he didn't like the way everyone stared at you too much for his liking. He didn't know why but when he saw so many people staring at you he was starting to grow possessive of you, he just wanted to hide you away from all their prying eyes and keep you safe. Later on he learnt that he was falling in love with you and he had to accept it

Love makes people do strange things and that was exactly what he was doing at the very moment. Stalking you that is. He overheard you telling his sister Ginny about Janmashtami and how you were excited for it and you would consume only milk products for the day. As much as Percy appreciated and loved everything about you and your culture, he didn't really think consuming only milk products for the day would suffice for your health. So he made sure to stick close by you so nothing would happen. However he saw you talk with one of the guys he despised the most, Noah Clark from the Slytherin house. He always hated the way he was so close to you and he immediately strode over to where Ginny, you and Noah were and glared at the three of you as he spoke sharply "It's time you three get to class, you don't want to be late after all'' but you said you had more time before the Defense against the Dark arts class started and Noah saw you with your flute and spoke "You still have the flute I gifted you? That's cool'' and you nodded and replied "Of course, how could it's the most precious thing anyone's ever given me'' and Percy's eye twitched with anger and irritation as he was literally ITCHING to smack Noah across the face

"May I ask how you acquired the flute?" asked Percy trying to pretend like he wasn't gathering information so he could get you a much better flute for you. "He got this from a sage who was a devotee of Lord Krishna after he helped him with something'' and Noah continued "Since I don't know how to play the flute I decided to gift it to Y/N here'' and he smiled. "How... lovely'' said Percy with a forced smile as Ginny said she liked your music when you played the flute. Percy was tempted to hide you away from everyone and have you play your flute only for him and no one else, no one else deserved to even LOOK at you, HIS precious angel much less even listen to you play the divine music of the gods above. His jealousy and possessiveness for you got the better of him eventually and so he ended up kidnapping you

You were enraged when you found out what he's done. Your flute wasn't just an ordinary instrument, it could also be used as a weapon, a deadly one rather. You played a tune that slowed time itself down and you used your chance to escape but Percy was much faster in terms of magic than you of course, he tracked you down and brought you back where you belonged, with HIM in HIS arms. He soon realized the flute was the obstacle between your love for him so he did something you could never forgive him for. Since it couldn't be destroyed to pieces due to a boon by the sage, he hid it from you forever. No matter how much you tried to look for it, you couldn't find it. Percy did gift you another flute though, a more beautiful one than Noah's and he said "This will help you forget about him'' but you didn't want that flute. The feeling would be different if you used a different flute and besides, a caged nightingale never sings

Your music was the thing that made him like this. He was enchanted with your music, a literal blessing to his ears when he heard you play the song of the gods. He researched a lot about Lord Krishna and admired his qualities too. Whenever you played your flute, you could make Percy see and feel a god's tale through your music. He could decipher what could have happened, when Lord Krishna was born to how he slayed the demons bravely and how he liked pranking people from time to time. This was how he fell in love with you, a god's tale through your music....

All right, I know this legit made like zero sense and I wouldn't blame you if you were pretty confused by this
