Raven

Backstory

(Younger Student) When I received my Hogwarts Letter that faithful day, I didn’t know what it would mean. At first I thought it was just a joke, ya know? My sister 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? Once I started getting older, more weird things would happen and my family started making me feel like a freak. They distanced themselves from me and I knew that they would never understand. Anyway, my parents were going to go shopping in London anyway 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, and there were some people to help show us around. The coolest part of Diagon Alley was seeing people like me, I didn't feel like a freak, I felt as if I was finally home. My parents however, used this as an opportunity to send me away so they no longer had to deal with the weird things that were happening. I didn't mind though, I was excited to finally be in a place where I didn't feel the need to hide or be ashamed of myself.
