Backstory

When I received my Hogwarts Letter that fateful day, I didn’t know what it would mean. At first I thought it was just a joke, ya know? My little brother sometimes played pranks on me, or blamed me when some weird stuff happened around the house. How was I supposed to know regular pencils couldn’t write in all the colors of the rainbow, or that I could disappear things with my mind? Anyway, my parents were going to go shopping in London and they figured they would humor me. Boy, the look on their face when we stopped by the Barren Bulldog pub and the sign said “The Leaky Cauldron” instead! The innkeeper was an odd but friendly man, an enormous man, a giant, but very kind and sweet. He was Hagrid waiting for me to help me with all the stuff to enter in my first year of Hogwarts. He show us around the “The Leaky Cauldron” and the Diagon alley. The coolest part of Diagon Alley was picking up my wand, and the books, and the clothes, and my owl (which my dad gave it to me), and everything but specially everything relationated to magic creatures. I think that's the reason Hagrid was so nice to me, because he is the person charged in Hogwarts of all the stuff of animals. I just love animals, magical or not! I might finish with “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” before school even starts. That day I was so nervous, I just thought about how life would be in Hogwarts, how would the professors, the students, the classes, if I would find friends. Once I heard Hagrid said that I couldn't let the other students call me " dirty blood" but I didn' t know what was that so Hagrid explain me that is a insult that some of the students, especially the ones that came from big and important magical families, call the Muggle-born, and I am a Muggle-born but the truth is that just one person called me "dirty blood" and it was Terrence Higgs, the Hunter of the Slytherin quidditch team. He was my nemesis during the quidditch matches of Gryffindor and Slytherin, because I was as well the Hunter on the Griffindor's team, but when we were just students, I was in love with him since I saw him for the first time when we all passed by the Sorting hat, although my best friend Hermione Granger told me it wasn't right because he is from another house. Back to the topic of quidditch, since I saw the first match of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, I fell in love with thos sport. I didn't get in the first year of school as well as Harry Potter, one of my closests friends, but I was accepted in the second year, the same time as Terrace. I loved when we all, Harry, Hermione, Ron and I were studying in the library during the free time, when Hermione and I helped the boys with all their work. Hermione helped me as well with potions, which was the most difficult subject to me, and I helped her with all about magic creatures. One of my favorite moments of the day is when all the Griffingor's meet in the common room and we drink a cup of hot chocolate and we talk about how our day was, and we laugh. That was the closest thing to being with our families.
